FORT COLLINS MUSEUM OF DISCOVERY REVIEWS
I loved the hands on musical instruments and tutorials. Can't play at all but had a hilarious time attempting to. Spent about 2 hours seeing everything. Taxidermy animals were very interesting. Really cool seeing sizes as compared to what you imagine their size to be in photos. Local history items were not as interesting to me as the above items but were pretty neat to see anyway. The live bees in their glass hive were a first time I'd seen anything like that. Cool!
My son loves this place, we have a membership so we can go every day or once a month. It is fairly small but always entertaining for kiddos. I would imagine the thrill would be lost so we go at least once a month. I will have to give props to those who maintain this facility, most everything is always working. That in itself is a feat that needs acknowledgement due to the lack of parental supervision sometimes or even the lack of respect from parents and kids.
An Interactive Wonderland - Fort Collins Museum of Discovery is the perfect combination of active learning and interactive fun for all ages. The majority of exhibits have fun activities and even instruments, not to mention traveling exhibits for a limited time. Highly recommend and can't wait to go again.

THE GARDENS ON SPRING CREEK REVIEWS
The lights at Gardens on Spring Creek were beautiful. We had a great time waking the paths and enjoying all the light "sculptures". We took pictures with Santa and Mrs Claus and they were very friendly and patient with my little preschooler who wasn't sure what to think of Santa. Also, the cocoa for sale was a nice touch. It was wonderful to walk around with hot cocoa to keep our hands warm and the pricing was affordable. It was such a wonderful experience we all had such a good time and my little preschooler kept getting to go back for days afterwards. So much fun. The price for admission was a little high, but we really enjoyed the park so it made it worth it. Overall, I would definitely recommend it.
An end of winter day spent mostly in the butterfly pavilion because the garden side has not come to life from its winter slumber. Just the experience of the pavilion was worth the price of admission in my opinion and was an experience I will never forget. It is beautiful to see all the butterflies flying about and learning about the blue dots under their wings. Definitely will return to see the garden in full bloom.
We go here a few times a year in the spring and fall to see the beautiful plants and well manicured gardens, but this time we went for the Christmas lights and they are masterfully set up. Lots of lights, fun and interesting displays, and friendly staff.

GLOBAL VILLAGE MUSEUM OF ARTS REVIEWS
We had a great afternoon visit here. There was a special exhibit on Girl Scouts and one of the volunteers gave us the BEST tour of all the items which I think really added to our time there. They have thought a lot about the Girl Scout exhibit. We also enjoyed letting the kids play music in the music room and searching for gnomes in the figurine area. It's a great place to visit (check out the passes from the library ahead of time). It isn't that big, but it was nicely kept up and interesting.
We very muxhenjoyed the exhibits at the Global Museum of Arts. It was special to see children's drawings that are part of the Mythical Beasts exhibit. It's nice that the allow attendees to participate in an exhibit. The miniatures from different counties can take a long time to look at aa there are so many amazing miniature pieces.
Great place to spend the afternoon. Great displays of different cultures. You can take your time going through and get up close and personal with the exhibits. Friendly and informative staff.
