At first glance, it looks like a playground. But it’s actually the Denver Museum of Nature and Science’s new, outdoor extension. It’s called Nature Play and it is a 4-acre play and learning space the mimics Colorado’s eight ecosystems. Visitors of all ages can climb, jump, slide, relax, and learn in recreated environments.
Whether you’re strolling through wildflowers, cooling off in the shade by a mountain stream, or scaling the side of a 20-foot bighorn sheep, Nature Play was designed to have something for everyone. People wanted the opportunity to really feel the different environments of Colorado while being in an Urban setting.
