The Denver Museum of Nature & Science is the Rocky Mountain region’s leading resource for informal science education. As an education-based organization, we believe in the importance of open exchange and learning. In order to maintain a family friendly and respectful environment, we do moderate comments made on our social media networks. While most comments will remain posted if they are on-topic and not abusive, moderating decisions are subjective. We are dedicated to providing our visitors with a quality experience – whether it be online or at the Museum. We will address all constructive criticisms quickly and efficiently as long as they are not abusive, offensive, inappropriate, profane (including expletives and letters followed by dashes) or illegal.

What a stellar night! 🤠🚀

The 2026 Galactic Gold Celebration on Oct. 2 brought space rangers and cosmic cowpokes together for an out-of-this-world party filled with space-western themed hors d'oeuvres, signature cocktails, a lively dance floor, mechanical bull riding and a stellar silent auction. It was a night to celebrate our community and support the Denver Museum of Nature & Science’s mission to ignite a passion for nature and science.

A huge thank-you to our generous sponsors, enthusiastic guests, dedicated volunteers and incredible Museum team for making Galactic Gold possible. We couldn’t have done it without you! Thanks for joining us on this cosmic adventure. Until next time, we’ll see you among the stars! ✨
