Great experience. A wonderful historical monument, with its charms and incredibly beautiful architecture. The staff were very friendly and answered all questions, and the place itself has a unique atmosphere. At the same time, the tour here is mere short in time, but everything is fascinating and extremely useful for self-development. I recommend to everyone!

Ol Maggy kept up such a beautiful house, its truly a gem!The Molly Brown House is an essential part of any exploration of Denver landmarks!The history within these walls... The architecture alone is a treat. However, as its now become a functioning museum, people can learn so much more than they ever could have from their childhood Molly B Fantasys or those familiar local ghost stories!

Enjoyed the visit to Molly brown house. The folks over there have maintained everything really well. Despite social distancing we were able to do a self tour using an app. The store right outside the house was super cute and has lots of fun stuff to get.

What a cool place. I am a huge history buff and have been to a lot of places in CO while studying it in school. This one is one of the best places and in the heart of the city. It was so interesting to learn how incredible of a woman Molly Brown. This house is a great place for dad or mom to bring young girls and teach them about a powerful women that comes from their own area. An adventure and mogul, a women not interesting in fame but, living a life style of a renaissance woman. A great person for young women to look up to and hear the story of her life from all the disasters to her amazing accomplishments.

This was an amazing experience, even with social distancing measures we were able to see everything. The staff/volunteers/docent were extremely friendly and knowledgeable. The house is beautiful and the gift shop has a great variety of items. I think I learned more about womens suffrage today than I ever did in school.

This place was magical. To be able to see and walk in a house as old as it is and to know the history and feel what it was like back in the early 1900’s. It was awesome. A must see. Takes about an hour if not less. Really cool

Interesting and unique place to visit. I grew up here in Denver but had never been before. I went for the first time last year. If you are a history buff or have a specific interest in the titanic you will probably love this place. As a local who isn’t the biggest history buff I thought it was a little underwhelming. To me it was more of just like a house tour. I do find Molly Brown’s story to be interesting, but the house was nothing extra special to me. It went to this museum during the Denver art week and so it was free. I’m glad I didn’t pay a lot of money for it not being my favorite spot. I know the do teas and other events there and those might be fun. But just my honest opinion.

We had an amazing tour and learned a lot about Molly Brown and her family. We experienced good customer service during and before the tour. Their gift shop is definitely a must see after the tour concludes. Recommended to all history lovers.

Just a great tour and really cool to see the reconstructed house and learn about Margaret Molly Brown. I really enjoyed the audio tour and there were guides in several rooms to answer questions. The gift shop was not a traditional bland gift shop but had great period specific pieces, books, jewelry, games for children... We bought several keepsakes. This was a smaller museum but absolutely worth the visit! We very much enjoyed it.

What a fun little tour! The house is incredible and the story of Margaret Brown is neat. We had time to kill while in Denver so we started doing a little searching of things to do when touring the house of Margaret Brown came up. Did a little searching on who she was and was like I had no idea! Lets go! Id you dont know who Margret Brown is, she was one of the survivors of the Titanic. She is even portrayed in the Movie. (Not accurately, but you will have to go do the tour to know why I say that.)

A very good museum about life in the Molly Brown era. We learned a lot that we hadnt known about Molly Brown. Excellent audio your. Steps are involved, so not handicap accessible. Theyre is a lift to get to the first floor, but not to the upper two floors.

The Molly Brown house tour was amazing and especially at Halloween time with all of the cool decorations! Our tour guide was lovely and informative.

Great tour, amazing to see still has some original items to the house, Gwen was a fantastic enthusiastic tour guide. Those that find issue should learn to research the tour such as when to get there, how to go about parking (cause parking downtown in any big city sucks), times and locations to be at, do your research cause its not the fault of the house and staff if you get it wrong, pay attention and read the website it tells you everything, this is definitly something I think a visitor should do.THANK YOU GWEN.

Im so in love with Margaret Brown, she was a remarkable woman and this little gem is a worthwhile stop with in Denver. Beautiful house and they did a nice job recreating her world here. They deck the halls for Christmas too ♡ quite lovely!

Review №33

A fantastic museum that is an amazing preservation of a house built in the 1880s. It not only has immaculate restorations of furniture, it also contains recreations of what Victorian Denver life was like. Originally built with electricity, it’s quite unique with small hallways and multiple floors in a closed layout with few open air of multi story foyers.Went during Denver arts week which happens during the first Saturday of November where multiple art museums graciously open up their doors for free between 5-10pm. This day happened to be extremely popular with a line along the street and a 20 minute wait but it’s well worth it for an amazing tour of the entire house. No pictures within the house which is a bit of a bummer but the museum that is located underneath the main house is quite cool. Well worth a visit with friendly staff and reasonable admission prices on most other days.

Being a fan of Margaret - not Molly- Brown this tour was a highlight during our recent trip to Denver.. Our tour guide was well-informed, entertaining, and was happy to share all the information about Margaret Brown that has been amassed. Truly impressive was the philanthropist that Margaret Brown was. She rallied for all funds for her fellow survivors of the Titanic as well as being a fundraiser throughout her entire life. The basilica in downtown Denver is certainly one of the recipients of funds raised. A True American rags to riches, then back to rags story this 45 minute tour through the Margaret Brown house is definitely a good use of your time. Don’t overlook the fine detailing in the house- amazing workmanship to be sure!

Review №37

While I was thrilled to see the inside of the house, I was disappointed with the actual tour. I felt the information was kind of generic and I wished it was a bit more specific/educational. I enjoyed my visit, I just wish it was a better tour. We also couldn’t see the 3rd floor because they were doing training. Why have training in a place where you’re preventing visitors from going there?

What a gem! We came upon this museum by chance and it became one of our favorite stops. The docent was incredible and the home has been lovingly preserved. You can reserve your tour times online. We were fortunate enough to get a spot as a walk in, but I would make a reservation to be safe.

Wonderful tour opportunity if your in Denver. We have previously toured the Titanic museum in Branson so we really enjoyed learning about Molly (Margret), her personal life, husbands success and a few details about her two children. The furnishings are time dated accurately and some of the furniture is original. Great story and our tour guide was exceptionally knowledgable.

This place was absolutely amazing. Unfortunately I cannot remember the name of our tour guide, but she was absolutely lovely. She had white hair and a beautiful upturned nose, and I really just want her to narrate every tour I ever go on. She taught me so much about the wonderful Margaret Brown. This is honestly the number one thing I would recommend to people visiting Denver.

I had a wonderful tour of the molly brown house during my stay in Denver. I was fortunate to go during a time that there wasn’t too much people taking tours and was the only person taking a tour at the time. It was a more comfortable atmosphere that way and Sind I didn’t have to share my guide I feel like I got a lot more out of the tour. My guide was a wonderful lady who definitely knew her stuff, and made sure i enjoyed my tour. The house itself is full of history and held a lot of meaningful material to learn from, not to mention beautiful. I definitely came away with a new found respect for “molly” Brown. The tour Was inexpensive but they also offer student discount as long as you bring your student ID. Overall it was very educational and enjoyable.

We had such a great time that we are already planning to go back. We were about 30 minutes early which worked out perfect because the gift shop was really cool. Our Docent was amazing! She was a great story teller and very lively in her words. If you enjoy history, antiques, decor or just curious how the rich lived back then, I highly recommend checking out the Molly Brown House Museum. If youre more interested in the Titanic, then I recommend the gift shop which is behind the house, no ticket needed to enter.

We came to see Molly brown house while on vacation in CO. We were very excited to learn more as we have always been a fan of her story. We were there on a Friday with our 2 kids. Upon coming to the door we were notified that we would not have a guide, but had to download an online reading tour. With only 2 of us that had a phone our children could not be involved. They were so bored and started wondering around. So as my husband and I were trying to walk ourselves through the tour we were constantly having to search for the kids that they were not touching anything or causing problems. Long story short, we spent over $50 and we learned very little. Furthermore, the basement area that contained a lot of their early history was blocked off. Was not a good experience overall for the money we had spent.

Review №54

I do not like reading history in a book. In person it is a whole new story. All I really knew about Molly Brown is that she survived the Titanic. Wow was I impressed by her life story. Did you know she never even went by Molly? Did you know that she had 2 kids and after her own death they did not inherit her house? Did you know that the house was going to be torn down in 1970? Did you know that she saved and improved the lives of so many people? When in town this is a must see.

Review №57

Our tour guide, Erin, was one of the best tour guides weve ever had anywhere. The house is just fantastic! We loved hearing the real story of Margaret (Maggie) Brown and how it differed from the Molly legend that was mostly invented after her passing. History Colorado does such a great job with each of their sites, and this one is no exception. We had the unexpected after-tour bonus of a meet-and-greet with Ms. Brown herself and she was just as lovely and gracious as could be. We thoroughly loved this adventure and cant wait to come again soon!

I bought our tickets ahead of time online to ensure our spots. This restored historical gem is within walking distance of the Capitol and downtown. The tour guide was full of details, and I think I would have been happy with a two hour tour because Mrs. Browns life was so interesting! It was fun to hear about her real life compared to the movie The Unsinkable Molly Brown. I would have liked to seen more placards with details about each room.

If youre a fan of the story of Titanic, youll enjoy this place. Theres a gift shop behind the house (where tour tickets are purchase) filled with interesting Titanic souvenirs. A ticket costs less than $15 and a tour lasts for about 1 hour. A very knowledgeable tour guide named Bennett was with us. Highly recommended if youre in the downtown Denver area and need to kill a few hours.

Im a huge fan of history and especially the history of the Titanic. This is a beautiful home and theyre constantly doing maintenance on it and fixing it up. I was bummed that only a very small percentage of the furniture and accessories of the house is original but our guide did point out each piece that was actually Mrs.Browns. Awesome architecture and overall beautiful house. Street parking, gift shop is small but super cute, beautiful bathroom inside the gift shop.

We enjoyed visiting the museum; several pieces inside the house were original. The attention to detail as to how the house may have looked back in the early 1900s was well done. Our tour guide, however, could have been more knowledgeable and lacked experience, but she did a passable job.

We absolutely loved the Molly Brown house. It was by far my favorite attraction we visited. This was my second time in Denver and we went twice during the week we were there.

The staff are all very knowledgeable and passionate and The home is beautifully and lovingly restored .I truly could not have asked for a better more positive experience.

Im now really interested in reading and learning more about Mrs. Brown!

We stopped in on a rainy day in Denver and had the most amazing tour. If there is a woman thats lived a more interesting/fulfilled life than Margaret Brown, I havent heard of her.
