    Small, but very interesting with quality displays. Staff is knowledgable and knows how to entertain with stories. Kids were entertained for over an hour and loved the little scavenger hunts.

    That s place is awesome!! The museum is in a house that was built in 1890 according to the nice lady at the front desk. The miniatures and dollhouses are amazing and the details are incredible! The kids had a ton of fun, they also have a craft room and an old school Nintendo for the kids to play with... that was so cool.

    Such a cute little exhibit! It wasn't packed at all when we went and people were arriving at different times so that we were spread out and were able to walk around without anyone brushing up against us. My boyfriend and I had such a great time :) finding the building was a little tricky though but it was directly to the left of the car wash. There weren't any signs outside the building indicating it was the museum so we did get a bit lost.

    This place is such a mini wonderland! I didn't want to leave! I took my 12 yr old daughter. We came home and immediately ordered a starter kit! Ms. Wendy was so helpful and knowledgeable.

    It is a small miniature museum with very little collection in one room. This is display of private collections, the dolls and miniature houses donated to the collector are good but the collection is not huge. Unless you are too interested in miniature art i won’t suggest paying a visit. Parking, restrooms, accessibility should not be a problem.

    Best miniature dollhouse museum! The supply closet is worth checking out for discounted dollhouse supplies and decor. Every exhibit completely redefines what it means to go miniature

    It's a huge place, with spaces for classes. It's still a work in progress, but they still have exhibits displayed. It It's handicap accessible, except the 3rd floor. You go through the main door to get 2nd floor and stairs to the 3rd. The basement is accessible through the side door ramp. They're in the process of putting in an elevator for all floors, it'll take a while. They're open on certain days. Check the website for everything. If you have questions, call on those days to talk to someone.

    Our family signed up for a weekend class to make miniature landscapes. I didn't really expect much, just gluing leaves to a base. Boy was I wrong! We learned all about scale and how small green sand can look like anything between moss and trees. Staff went above and beyond in finding supplies for us including a miniature lizard and supplies for a palm tree. We spent so much time on these that we had to leave before touring the museum but did get to do a quick walkthrough and are excited to come back. Highly recommend! Will definitely be back for another class and are planning to look into a girl scout troop or birthday activity through the museum too!

    I came here with my parents and my boys and didn’t really know what to expect, but we all really enjoyed ourselves. The man working that day did an excellent job of hooking the kids into the details of miniatures. We spent 80ish minutes here and would love to come back again.

    The Musuem of Miniatures and Dolls was the most fun experience I've had in a while! This place has a wonderful variety of donations that range from late 1800s to 2017! Not to mention all of the amazing art pieces from all over the world. There are two levels, but the staircase is only 5-8 steps. I highly reccomend stopping by if you are a fan of miniatures and dolls, it's perfect for all ages!

    This museum is a true gem and a must-visit for anyone who loves the intricate beauty of miniature objects. The collection at this museum is truly impressive, featuring a diverse array of miniature dolls and toys from all over the world. Each exhibit is carefully curated and beautifully presented, allowing visitors to appreciate the artistry and craftsmanship of each piece. What sets this museum apart, however, is the dedication of its staff. The docents are incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about the collection, providing insightful and engaging information about the history and significance of each exhibit. Their enthusiasm is contagious, making each visit a truly memorable experience.

    A hidden gem in Denver. Found this while looking up attractions on Google maps and had to make a visit. $5 entry fee extremely knowledgeable staff. I only waked around the main floor as I had just over an hour to spare here. Awesome place check it out sometime. They also have a lower level I missed out on seeing and are working on an 3rd level currently

    This place is so very cool! They have so many miniature houses modeled after real Denver houses! Also a nice liitle store and some fun family events to attend. Definitely recommend taking the time to walk through.

    Ironically a small museum but very interesting. A whole industry, hobby, art awaits. Some of these miniature houses are amazing. The detail is second to none. Though small, take your time and enjoy the detail. Worth it.

    It was a fun museum if you are into miniature stuff. There are lots of fun things to see and a couple of games to play while in there. It was small but not crowded so that was great.

    Such a FUN place for kids and parents! Attention to detail is unbelievable here. Our 8 & 11 yr. old girls and their grandmas Loved it! A darling place and educational too. We will go back as you can't really take it all in with one visit. Thanks Wendy!!!

    So while you would think this would be a great place for kids, it’s actually best for adults who appreciate miniatures and old toys, as I guarantee any child that’s below the age of at least ten would be bored within five minutes! Adults can appreciate all the tiny deals hidden in every scene and house they have displayed, but I can’t imagine a kid would want to stare at the same dollhouse for more then a minute at most! But I personally found the museum fascinating and entertaining, but I took off one star because I was disappointed the gift shop didn’t have any souvenirs to take home that said the name of the museum on them (the gift shop only sold miniatures you can purchases)!

    Visited their new location which is very nice. The number of exhibits is still a little limited as they are still working on their new space but all the exhibits are remarkable for the amount of work and level of detail that went into their creation. Also has a good collection of old toys and games which was fun to see.

    Absolutely loved this stop. Such a cute small place. I'm so glad I made this stop on my trip to Denver. Me and my friends did all the little scavenger hunts :D The workers were so nice and such a cute tiny gift shop

👍👍 The Solstice Steps are truly a hidden gem in the heart of the city. This serene spot offers a view that's second to none. The binoculars at the end provide an amazing view of the downtown skyline, adding a unique touch to the experience. What I love most about the Solstice Steps is its versatility....
