FORT COLLINS MUSEUM OF DISCOVERY REVIEWS
I took my two year old daughter and I have never seen eyes so wide. She was in awe of everything she saw. She had a blast with everything. The museum was busy but everything was well kept and clean. The staff were helpful and I saw many of them wandering around to keep everything looking neat and clean.
This museum is interactive and very informative regarding the growth of Ft.Collins and the inspiration of agriculture and music.
Wow... just wow... this place is so awesome. I took my children here recently it was an absolute blast. There is so much to do for fun learning. I can't wait to see the many exhibits to come.

THE GARDENS ON SPRING CREEK REVIEWS
Beautiful botanic gardens in all seasons. We visited as they were setting up pumpkins for their fall event. This is a very family friendly location. In addition to accessible concrete paths and beautiful plants there is an open section of lawn where you can set your kids out to run. The butterfly pavilion is small but quite pretty. Lots of butterflies and beautiful indoor plants. Restrooms: Clean and easy to access.
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.
