Kyra made our experience very fun. It was just myself and my husband as a fun activity I surprised him with for our anniversary. We did the Conspiracy Theory room, just the two of us. We made it out with a few minutes to spare! Fun and challenging room. The business itself was very clean and there was sanitizer everywhere. I appreciate them for the extra efforts made to keep a clean safe experience for us especially with the ever-changing challenges of keeping up with COVID restrictions. Can’t wait to come back.

If you are interested in gaining history about one of Denver's most famous citizens, the Molly Brown House Museum should be on your list of sightseeing while in Denver! I had a couple of hours to spare in the middle of the day, while in town for a conference. I was able to walk over to the Molly Brown House Museum from my hotel on 16th Street with ease. Once arriving, the tour guide, Suzette, was amazing. She was so knowledgeable about Margaret "Molly" and JJ Brown, their family, and what brought them to Denver. Additionally, the restoration of the home is absolutely AMAZING! To see how the Browns lived all those years ago, how fascinating. This is definitely a tour to not miss. Make sure you stop by the gift shop for some unique souvenirs including special Harney & Sons tea that is make specifically for the Molly Brown House Museum and a bookmark which is a replica of the impressive stain glass windows that are found inside the house.

The Center for Colorado Women’s History focuses on scholarship, research, lectures, tours and exhibits that expand the understanding and collective memory of the history of women in Colorado. Most importantly, the Center is connecting local stories to the broader stories of women’s history worldwide. The historic house has been the home to inspiring women since 1883. It has been beautifully restored to the era of 1912-1924 and is furnished with the family's original belongings. Guided house tours weave together the stories of the many women, such as Anne Evans, who lived and worked in the home and the impact of the families on early Denver.

I loved the Byers-Evans House tour! Our tour docent, Margaret, did a fabulous job of explaining the history of the Byers/Evans families and how they influenced the development of Denver. I'm a bit of a historic house nerd and have visited many old mansions and am often disappointed by the inability of tour docents to answer my difficult questions. Margaret was a wonderfully knowledgeable guide and could speak with authority about everything we asked! Bravo! Great tour!

We did not enjoy a movie but definitely enjoyed our visit to the theater. The facade is unique and the interior a step back in time. We sought out the other building in the city designed by the same architect to absorb that one as well
