Lookout Mountain Nature Center (always free)

This nature center on top of Lookout Mountain in Golden is one of the top things to do in Colorado for the kids. There are a lot of wildlife displays, and the workers are eager to give you a tour and help the kids understand the various displays. If you are visiting Colorado for the nature, wilderness, and wildlife, be sure to visit this free museum to help the kids in the family understand what makes the real Colorado such a special place.

Location:
Take Lookout Mountain Road until you see signs for the Nature Center. The Center is at the top of the mountain, so the road is slow and winding whether you are coming from I-70 or downtown Golden. From Golden, you can get on Lookout Mountain Road from Route 58. From I-70, take exit 256.
