I recently visited this museum for the first time. Excellent experience. Family friendly and smart, helpful staff. I also explored the possibility of working a joint project between them and our non-profit. The Director, Mr. Williams proved to be a highly professional leader with great vision for the museum. He is doing great work for all of Aurora. Thank you

I love that they have a free museum for the family. The lady at the front desk was very friendly and informative. She invited us to do the scavenger hunt and we enjoyed it. It was fun looking for all the items with the family. The restored Trolley was a treat. We enjoyed going inside the Trolley and sitting down. I recommend this museum. Fun for the whole family.

Loved the exhibit of Colorado women and their role in the suffrage movement. Everything was well laid out, making social distancing easy. Learned a lot about the history of Aurora.

A really interesting place to visit if you want to see locomotives and cars of all different types. You can also see equipment that was used from a long time ago. They also have some really nice model train displays to see. A great place to bring the family and see some trains.

This Museum was awesome! My family and I will be back!

Wonderful to go for a run around this area!

Interesting place! Lots of nostalgic things!

I finally got to check out Aurora History Museum at Academy of Sciences when we planned a girls night out. After getting drinks at dinner and happy hour, we were ready for some museum fun. The place is huge with tons of exhibits that you can check out. As with most museums, I think this place is a great date night venue!

Great experience. really interesting place!

A interesting place to visit. You might learn something about the city that you dont yet know. If you visit the Aurora History Museum you could watch a video on something important about the city. Brochures and literature are also available depending on what they have available at that point in time. Best of all everything is free unless you buy somerhing.

Very clean and lots of important info

Pretty cool stuff to check out.

Tells the story of Aurora and is a small convenient stop right by the library. If you visit you also find out that it is one of the original buildings in the location.

Great museum to learn about the struggles encountered by early locals, in establishing the current city and its boundaries...well done!

A nice place to visit. Most people think that Aurora has no history, but that just aint so.

This place is so good its right next to my moms work

A free place to take your children to during the summer! Educational fun for the family! Learn about Auroras fascinating history! The staff is helpful and kind.

We stopped by this small museum in the Aurora Municipal Center campus near the city hall, courts, public library, etc. Entering we were greeted by a staff member who explained the different exhibits - currently there are three: Growing Home, Hometown Pride, and One Small Step. The permanent exhibit Growing Home provides an overview of Aurora history. It starts with the various neighborhoods that make up the city and their origins - a wall-sized aerial picture of the city has the locations of the various neighborhoods highlighted, and next to that are a series of information panels that give a short description of each neighborhoods origin and history, complete with photos.

Great Museum! Lots of neat educational exhibits.

This museum is a wonderful place to visit. Its free for all ages, and often also plays host to other cultural events. It tells the history of the City of Aurora from its founding to the present with a coherent narrative that even children can follow. It has a number of artifacts to illuminate the time periods and events it talks about, and the trolley at the end makes a great photo opportunity. Recommended.

If you want to know more about Auroras history, you should definitely visit this place. I enjoyed the video about the history of Colfax Avenue. Thanks to the friendly and helpful staff I found out a lot of interesting facts about the history of the City of Aurora. This place worth visiting!

Simple. No frillsPictures and artifacts from a recent past that seem so long ago. Personable, friendly staff. Its worth the perusal.

I visit every year. I love the wreath display in November and December.

I love that their exhibits change up! I stop in at least 2 times a year!

Small museum dedicated to the past, present, and future of Aurora. Polite staff and clean rooms make this free museum a must visit!

Loved our visit. The drink local exhibit was great. It is nice to see Auroras history presented.

Interesting place, great local information, pokemon origami display amazing

I like the restored trolley. The staff is so nice and knowledgeable. Also you are a short walking distance from the Central Library, courthouse and city building.

FREE museum with truly great exibits and caring staff that is eager to answer all your questions about Auroras History! Learned a lot about the community Ive been living in- which was really cool and made me have pride for where I am living. Also believe museums should be free and provide equal access to education. Propts Aurora for providing this!

Super friendly and helpful staff. Interesting permanent exhibit on Aurora and cool rotating exhibits on the Apollo Space Program and Colorado Breweries.

This place was really informative, and great for cost conscious families. The volunteers were professional, knowledgeable, and kind.

Very nice mueseum, considering it is free. Good exhibits for kids.

Our Hostess was awesome. Mr Dave. Space room was let them have an Orchid.

Informative but it wouldve been nice to know if buildings in pics were still standing or demolished, or redone. It wouldve been nice to have more info but then it may have been too much reading, especially for a free facility.

Always interesting to visit. The staff is welcoming and kind. Good place to spend an afternoon on the weekends, especially for the low low price of free.

Great place in Aurora for local history, also has nice events and two rooms for rotating exhibits

This place is an absolute must! Although it may be small in size, its huge in history. I love coming at least once a month to learn more and more about aurora. For a history buff, theres never not something new to learn if you havent lived there before!

Very friendly, accommodating staff, nice quiet environment to enjoy the arts.

Mostly about one historic family of Aurora but I learned a lot about it. Nice facility.

It was an awesome experience! Trolley, old street signs and all. A great way to capture the essence of the city while all the ongoing changes are happening.

The museum is a small museum even after the expansion they did a couple years ago. That should not take away any value from it. They put up good exhibits.

Very close to my home, relaxing atmosphere, interesting and informative exhibit

Amazing place to play pogo & wu

Cool place to see what made Aurora what it is today. Great to teach the kids about history that happened right here.

Some very cool history here. If youre thinking about going, just go ahead and go! Cozy, quiet, and very interesting.

For a little home town museum it quite nice

Great fun informational!!!

This small museum is tucked between the police headquarters and city hall on the Aurora civic center campus. The most interesting exhibit is a meticulously restored trolley car which is housed in a new wing of the museum. There is also a general exhibit about the history of Aurora, a small rotating exhibit featuring residents collections, a little museum store, and occasional art exhibits.

It was a free way to spend an hour or so. I enjoyed seeing the trolly but the museum is pretty small. They had very friendly staff.

Nice place to visit with family and friends

It is beautiful.

Great history of the area. We learned about the Salvidorian influx of refugees and local authors.

“Fletcher”What does the Name Fletcher have to do with Aurora? Come visit the museum and find out. There is no admission to this quant museum. Although quant, it is packed with local history to include exhibits of photos from the early years of Aurora to include Patches to an awesome display from Ethiopia. There is also a restored trolley trailer..

The lady at the front desk was frendly and the exhibits were very historic. Learned a lot about Aurora and its history. Went withnfriends but good place to take the kids of all ages starting at 5years old. Also has a nice little gift shopnas you go in. Free and takes abou 1hour 1/2 to 2 hour to go throug.

Fun to see Auroras history!

It was very pleasant, clean, and friendly staff

Straightforward museum of a town without a whole lot of history, but displays are well done, and its free.

What a surprise. Well kept view of Aurora as it was.

Free educational, family enjoyed it, fully restored trolley.
