I love the history of this place! They have a nice welcome center where you check in. There is a little gift shop, restrooms and a little history display. The grounds are nice to walk around. There are pigs, goats and horses as well as many picnic tables and buildings to check out. But the best part is the old house, Denver’s oldest. Taking a tour of the house and learning the history of it is fascinating. This is a great place to bring the family for several hours and learn about Denver’s history. Tour guides are lovely and well-informed.

This is a hidden Denver gem that a lot of people have never even heard about. Once upon a time the 4 Mile House was the last stop along the stage coach trail before you made it to Denver and this house is located 4 miles from the then downtown Denver. This is not the oldest structure in Denver, but it is the oldest remaining building from the original Denver settlement. Everything in the house and around the 12 acre property is era correct. Make sure to ask for the house tour. Lots of history to learn here and fun for all ages.

Very good historical site and learning center. Nice lil museum and gift shop as well. Friendly and helpful staff. Visited recently during a Bright Lights exhibit, a fun time was had by everyone! Definitely a great place to visit, beautiful setting near the creek, bring a picnic if you like.

Well hello and happy day. I was in need of some beauty in my life today and this was the solution. If you need a night of peaceful, chitter chatter this themed stroll is the place. For you! The artistry was inspiring, and it was a visual delight, being surrounded by all of the beautiful lights, combined with some animation and of course, at every turn a new theme. Wonderful evening.

Nice little easy to visit historic park. Good for kids. Live farm animals.

I went to the Four Mile Historic Park when my das was visiting from Germany. In itself, it was a cute little spot with a few houses and sheds to explore. We went during the winter time, so the ground was partially frozen and partially slick mud. Not the biggest deal but it made it quite hard to stroll about. The reason I am docking two stars is that the state of their animals (horses, sheep and pigs) looked awful. Insanely dirty pens with fecal matter everywhere, matted, dirty and tangled coats and not a whole lot of shelter. It looked concerning and I hope they will start taking better care of their animals again.

Great place! Went here for the Bright Nights e wnt and it was awesome. The different lights and sculptures were amazing. If you are looking for something fun to do on a date or something fun to do with the kids at night this is the place to be! Would recommend this place a d will be visiting again in the future.

Bright Lights @ 4Mile $25 ticket, was worth the experience for sure. Went on Thursday at 9p, no traffic, no big crowd's, easy free street and parking lot parking.

This place was a lot fun. We experienced a relaxing walk around the property. My kiddos enjoyed visiting the animals. The historic house is amazing.

Wonderful place to spend the day. Very interesting to learn about how people lived and traveled before trains. Great to learn the meaning behind the name.

I drive past the signs on the way to work and finally decided to visit. It was a nice park with a good amount of historical information. Loved getting to tour the house in a small group. They’re currently setting up for a special event so some parts are blocked off, but you’re still able to enjoy all the main areas. I will definitely come back again when they have the Bright Nights!

Excellent historical site. The term 4 mile is used since wagons stopped and passengers rested. Transportation was by wagon prior to the railroad from Denver to and from Missouri. The location is the closest rest stop next to Denver. The docent gave us a free private tour of the houses, which were joined in 1882. The older house is a 2 story log cabin built in 1858. Inside the logs are visible. The larger brick house was added in 1882. Completely restored on the inside with many of the original features. Outside are a large wagon used for transportation prior to the building of the railroad to Denver and a smaller wagon, shown in the photo. Restored free standing summer kitchen. Barn with friendly farm animals. Bee house has activities for children. Very worthwhile tour.

Great place for a pumpkin patch festival event displaying all the historic activities/buildings and food. The band was amazing. Kids had a blast!!!

It was my birthday, blessed to spent it at Four miles historic park with him. Its a adventure! Mystical Snowy Wonderland In farm style with pigs, sheep, goats, horses and a cat. Thank you for having us, Mandy and Karl.

A fun historical place to visit, walk around and learn. This is family friendly and kids will love the animals they have there

Went to Bright Lights at the Park, more than wonderful! Bring the whole family, but wear good shoes, the ground is uneven. Parking was on the street only for this event.

This was so Amazing! It was Beautiful and we all loved it! Can't wait to go back next year!!! If you haven't gone I recommend you go!!!

My family and I really loved the Bright Lights display, highly recommend! Seems like it would be fun during the day just walking around and enjoying an oasis in the middle of the city.

Came for the bright nights festival on opening day, we arrived a bit late 30 minuets before closed and were able to walk around twice and take some cool pictures. The art was amazing and really well done! I don’t know if there’s more stuff to do before closing we saw some stands that you can buy stuff from. But the only reason I did 4 stars instead of 5 was just because it was 25 per person I guess 20 feels better for me, at least for what I got out of it. Especially because you’re gonna spend money I assume once you go inside as well from the cute shops. Also they closed at 10:00 and I feel like being a night time event it could stay open a bit later. However I assume it’s due to staffing and what not.

Great experience! Park was not crowded and well maintained. We participated in a living history guide tour with living history guide named Paul. He did a great job keeping the group of 1st graders engaged and answered question well and kept on topic and task. Would go back again!

We had a birthday party for our kids yesterday at Four Mile Historic park… in the middle of a snowstorm. The staff were SO helpful to pivot and help us figure out indoor activities that were still fun for our kids and guests. I am so happy with our experience. It was a great low key place for a party, when many kid parties can be over stimulating and overwhelming.

This is not a Disneyfied theme park - which was a delight for us. An oasis of calm in the middle of high rise apartment blocks. The staff are very welcoming & the house guide, even though under pressure because of the groups waiting to get in, was knowledgeable & enthusiastic. The house is well worth a visit - hard to believe people were living there up to the 1980s... Kids would love this park, freedom to run around, panning for gold, picnic tables, horses, goats, chickens, a real live blacksmith who gave us an introduction to the forge. Very relaxed & well worth a visit. Only disappointment is no cafe, so bring a picnic. Also, take time to read the posters in the entrance building before you go into the park - very informative & a slice of Colorado history

My child had a field trip here and it was absolutely wonderful. There were six different activities that showed the kids what it was like to be one of the pioneering settlers. I liked that they while they made the activities fun and interesting, they didn't idealize that time in history, showing the kids how hard it was and even spoke about how the settlers stole the land from the indigenous people which was wrong. Having been here previously to just walk around on my own with my kids, I enjoyed the field trip much more as I thought it was way more informative and fun.

the good: - Santa and Mrs. Clause here: 10/10. awesome. definitely the best part. - food trucks (turkish food and american bbq) also 10/10. had a turkish chicken wrap that has me drooling just thinking about it. and waffle fries from the bbq place. - actual chestnuts, roasting on an open fire. free to try and quite tasty. (and it was a 20 degree night, so jack frost _was_ nipping at our noses) - kid crafts were good - but the space to do them was small/not great if theres a crowd - no lines - we hardly had to wait for santa, skating, food, drinks, etc. plenty of space outside to wander around. - some horses, pigs, goats, chickens. not so good: - the synthetic ice (plastic) for skating is a joke/deathtrap - dont waste your time here, find real ice to try out skating. - the smores kits ($6) had the worst marshmallows ive ever seen. they were hard as rocks (think: freeze deied marshmallows in lucky charms cereal). one shattered like glass when i tried to skewer it. dont bother, or BYO - the hot chocolate had an odd flavor - could be just me - like maybe they used nesquick and im used to swissmiss. things we didnt do, so im not sure: - indoor shopping, - scavenger hunt - live music i think other xmas options around denver are a better value, this one was ok. depending on which parts you're interested in could be 5/5 stars :) ...tiny tots, with their eyes all aglow...

We really enjoyed our visit to Four Mile! I always enjoy historic house tours, and our knowledgeable docent made it even better. The farm animals they have on site made the visit even more great! Overall, well worth the price.

This is a really neat place to visit here in the Denver area. Lots to see, do and learn! I've been here twice for different events. This site is very similar to Rockledge Ranch in Colorado Springs, which is also worth seeing/experiencing! It seems that the parking lot here at 4 mile historic park is under a bit of construction, so be mindful of the parking situation. Come check out some interesting Denver/Colorado history! Remember.... Stay Whimsical my fellow wanders!👋😁💚

Lots of interesting things here to see. Very historical houses and building's. Plenty of older working tools.

This is a beautiful place. Takes you back to the 19th century. Make sure you take the walking tour. We went to the 4-mile house with our friendly guide, Laura, who was a fountain of knowledge. My boyfriend and I are history buffs, so we naturally asked a lot of questions and Laura was patient with us and answered all our questions. The items in the house are wonderful. I definitely recommend the tour because you will never get a chance to see the awesome stove they used in the 1890s along with the kettle that weighs a ton! Apart from the four mile house, we also saw the root cellar, blacksmith's shop, the barn with the horses, sheep and chicken. You will see bunnies and rabbits roaming freely everywhere in and around the area. It is great for families with children and adults alike! The staff are very friendly and were always happy to be of any assistance. We were lucky to see some re-enactment of Civil war on the premises. I recommend this place to both citizens of Denver and to tourists - it is a wonderful slice of history, very carefully preserved by some wonderful people that is a must-visit.

Company picnic at Four Mile was a fantastic place for a group event. The set up was perfect tables in an open grass area surrounded by this historic park's main attractions; the original settlers home, their flock of hens, pigs and all the other settlers working hustles. The black smiths barn, where they churned butter, a well original covered wagon. It was a interesting and educational event and it allowed all of the employees to be engaged. We had a full bar set up in the show hall, food was fair up decent. Great Staff. Saw a bull snake. No place to wear sandals (pea gravel gets in your shoes and the whole snake thing) Grass was pretty tall, could have been moved and the honeysuckle was vastly throughout ad that drew in the bees. Constantly combating the bees flying around.Overall a nice venue and loved learning about its history. I've lived here since 1983 and had no idea this little gem was in the middle of glendale; it felt like we removed from the city. Nice little day trip for a staycation.

They have very friendly staff. The old stagecoach stop/house tours are every 10 minutes and very interesting. We loved the barn with old buggy and stagecoach. A school field trip there that day had dressed in old time outfits which made it more fun for us as they played and their teachers walked about. In early April the garden areas were not planted so we may have to do a summer visit.

My kids and i walk through here once a week to see the cochen chicken. Its a great place to get professional pics done too. Most of the buildings you are able to walk through but i think they close during the winter season
