Im happy to support local historic sites and businesses. They did try to make something fun for December Delights, but its pretty lame. The scavenger hunt clues were very easy and take you too large mason jars with unknown items in them and a stamp pad. It was too cold to use them (40F). The lights were cool. The do have a bar outside and some food inside. The craft was to make a crown. The one video game senses your motion to catch falling items and is projected on a building wall. The ice skating is a slick plastic surface (not ice) is not worth the $5 extra. I couldnt even get enough momentum to glide. Its probably more exciting for kids under 10.

Some of the best art ive seen in Co yet

We had lots of fun at December Delights! Great place to social distance outside while enjoying the holidays!

Getting the docent tour was definitely worth our wait. She shared a lot of great information about the property and those that lived here. If you dont have the opportunity for a docent lead tour of the main building you can catch some great information from the video playing in the visitors center.My 11yo enjoyed seeing a historical how. With all the details and mining for some gold.

Went for the harvest festival and paid the entrance fee. Once I got there I realized that there is nothing to do unless you want to spend more money. All of the reinactments were not taking place and there was no music. You pay to get in so that they can just sell you more. Kind of like buying a magazine that is just full of advertising for more things to buy. Im on disability and rarely get to go places because I cant afford it. So, I spent money on handicapped transportation to get there and the purchase of the ticket to find out that all of the things I read were happening were not actually happening. Really upsetting day! Will not be back or recommend.

Wonderful preservation of historical Colorado homestead. Unfortunately theyre unable to give their usual tours and demonstrations for the time being due to Covid-19. I still recommend checking it out!

Cool historic park that reminds us we are doomed to repeat the past if we do not make changes, so get ready to churn that butter.

I had to go here for a college class one time and fell in love with it. I think it’s a great place for all ages and especially during these times it’s open air which is great. I think it’s a great place for dates, history buffs, and kids. They do have a free day once or twice a month which is great, I love Free Things todo in Denver.

Lots of interesting things here to see. Very historical houses and buildings. Plenty of older working tools.

Really cute park, visited for the Harvest Pumpkin festival - they did a great job bringing the fall vibes to the city!

Fantastic historic location and well kept grounds, wonderful venue and helpful staff

This is a beautiful place. Takes you back to the 19th century. Make sure you take the walking tour. We went to the 4-mile house with our friendly guide, Laura, who was a fountain of knowledge. My boyfriend and I are history buffs, so we naturally asked a lot of questions and Laura was patient with us and answered all our questions. The items in the house are wonderful. I definitely recommend the tour because you will never get a chance to see the awesome stove they used in the 1890s along with the kettle that weighs a ton! Apart from the four mile house, we also saw the root cellar, blacksmiths shop, the barn with the horses, sheep and chicken. You will see bunnies and rabbits roaming freely everywhere in and around the area. It is great for families with children and adults alike! The staff are very friendly and were always happy to be of any assistance. We were lucky to see some re-enactment of Civil war on the premises. I recommend this place to both citizens of Denver and to tourists - it is a wonderful slice of history, very carefully preserved by some wonderful people that is a must-visit.

The kids had a blast! We got there just in time to tour the inside of the Victorian house. It was hard for the kids not to touch everything. But they still had such a great time. We were able to explore the property after the tour, fed the chickens, who were inside so kind of hard. But that was on us, the weather was cooler out. They visited the goats and horses, rang the big bell. Just had fun exploring. They have picnic tables for folks to bring their lunch. The ladies at the counter were super nice and engaging, the tour guide was as nice as it appears she could be. But still had fun.

Some of the best art ive seen in Co yet

Really great park, also the staff is great. We did some work for them and the ladies that run this place are extremely knowledgeable and so very nice. This is a cool park! Had no idea it was co close!

This place is amazing! Can’t wait to visit again! ️

Love the way everything is set out and display so you could see the history

My sister had her graduation party here. The staff was extremely nice and helpful. The venue was a perfect place for a small family gathering and was beautiful. The grounds are gorgeous but we unfortunately didnt have time to see them.

The lady at the front desk was great lovers her energy and she was great with my clients

Nice to walk around. Hope they open the buildings soon

A flash back into time. Covered wagons, live animals and plenty of walking space.

Very informative and hospitable front desk person

What an amazing place!!! Not to be missed...

Great little piece of history right outside of Denver. Reasonably priced.

It is a great place to bring kids. You can feed chickens and pet goats. They have wagon rides and are really affordable. Also a cute place to host special events!

Lovely grounds with three resident horses, a goat... Trails surround park so very open, rural feel. Historic educational tours available...

Summer Concerts at Four Mile Historic Park are marvelous. I saw “Take Down the Door”, an Irish group and had a wonderful time: outdoor picnic dinner, grassy lawn, good sound, not too crowded. A big parking lot but when that is full you have to park on the street and for some reason the city has “no parking” signs up... just wish the city could allow parking close by

When you are on a long bike ride, this is a great place to pull over and have a snack, beautiful and quiet. Its a great place with a covered pavilion and tables.

GREAT PLACE TOO SEE ANIMALS

Wonderful little spot to go back in time in the middle of the city. This is a wonderful little museum and outdoor place to explore Colorados history. Great little fieldtrip.

Went here for daughters field trip. Very educational, wish staff was maybe a little more friendly ! But a very cool place

Loved it, got a quick overview of how Denver came to be!

Awesome tour for those who would like see what life was like for a few in the 1840-60s, the tour guide was very informative and passionate and well dressed for the time period, great experience.

We visited the park for Kidtopia this past weekend. Granddaughters had a wonderful time. Loved seeing the farm animals. The main building has beautiful quilts to see and history boards to read.

Started the morning out with a tour of the Four Mile Historic Park before taking a walking tour of the Capitol Hill neighborhood. Landis, our tour guide, did a great job of helping us re-live the lives of the families that first settled the Cherry Creek area. If you are looking to get an overview of the history of Denver, make this one of your first stops of the day and then work your way over to the Molly Brown House for other options!

Great stop when biking on the Cherry Creek trail. The quilts on display are beautiful. Friendly staff.

What an interesting historic piece of Denver! This historic park located on the banks of Cherry Creek, not far from downtown Denver. You can find the oldest standing structures, visit pioneer exhibits, special events, and go on a guided tour. If you have kids, they will enjoy seeing farm animals. Nice spot to spend time with family especially in the summer.

Cute little in city get away

Great little spot to walk around and learn the very unexpected historical value behind its Fence & the true origin of Early Denver development.

My grandchildren and I really enjoyed it. Our guide was very knowledgeable and super good with the kids!

I love the big draft horses and especially Pearl the angora goat. She is really cool! There is often a nice 4th of July celebration.

Id like to visit it in spring or summer, its a bit cold to explore everything in winter. Great locations of Wild West

Weve gone every year for the last 15 years since I was a little kid to the pumpkin festival. Its fun to bring your kids

Located along Cherry Creek, Four miles from Denvers Capitol Building, The Four Mile Historic Park provides an amazing experience for visitors to get a glimpse into the life of a settler in Colorado in the 17th century. Knowledgeable guides provide tours to guests about the history of Colorados origins including the famed Four Mile House. The facility is available for private Events including weddings. Great place to take the kids.

Tour of house was very well done. Docent knew everything about Colorado in addition to entire history of house and area. Good job!

Fun , cheap and interesting park in the city . Bring kids to see the horses and the educational experience.

Very historic, impressive what was done here in the past and what they have done to keep it up.Make sure to see and visit with Pearl!

We went to the Fall Pumpkin Festival with the kiddos. Great atmosphere and loved the people dressed up. Didnt get to the wagon ride and we wished we had remembered to bring the wagon so we could haul all our pumpkins out. We are defiantley making this a part of our fall traditions and cant wait until the kids are older to understand more of this history.

Excellent place to visit and know about Denver History

Its a nice way to get in touch with nature

Love this place its a very beautiful and scenic place and thank you for renting from butler rents alot

Nice park.. interesting history!

Inconsiderate staff at the front desk, we will not renew our memberships

Beautiful. A nice pit stop when biking, lots of trees, benches for relaxing and reflection, close to Cherry Creek stops and shops. 5 Ginger Snaps for beauty and quiet.

So, a museum showcasing colonialism.

Walk into the 1860s and enjoy witnessing life as it was a century and a half ago.

This is a fun place to take the fam when you wanna slap the phone out of their hand. To reminisce a time when you didnt have to see everyones vacation photos on the gram because you were all busy surviving!In all seriousness though; its fun, cheap and the kids will love it so theyll actually put the friggin controller down and go outside for once!Its more fun if you go when theyre open, A field trip isnt the full experience.If youre genuinely interested in how ppl lived back in the day they give guided tours and dress up. They also have live animals they care for too so you can feed them if you want.I recommend having your kids do the farm chores. Give them the gift of gratefulness.

I was only walking the trail. What I observed it looks like a great place to take the kids and find some great food. I hope some day I can take my family there.

Great place to take the kids. Panning for Pyrite was a blast.

Always an amazing place to be! Join on a Wednesday night for their summer concert series, you won’t regret it!

Great place to spend a couple of hours. Make sure to check their hours before you go! I remember going here on a field trip in elementary school and it was a lot of fun to return as an adult. The guides are very friendly and accommodating. I had my daughter (less than 1yr) with me and they made sure we were able to participate in everything. Wonderful experience.

The first white girl in Colorado was born here. Great history and people

Went on a field trip to this place and I actually really enjoyed it! It was a nice time to be outside and learn a little bit of Colorado history (Im not a native so I learned a few things!). The staff was VERY friendly and good with the kids that were there! There were multiple schools but they treated all of the groups with care and great attention. Im sure its a usual visit for Denver students but if you ever have time to go on your own I would recommend it! Its a nice mini-getaway from the city life in a sense.

Have only been I side the museum once. The people there are very inviting and helpful. I would consider returning with a friend to enjoy the guided tour or some other event.

What an amazing place that takes you back 150 years in time right in the heart of Denver. Amazing and friendly staff and a must see for residents and visitors of Colorado. You wont be disappointed.

Nice sod house. Need to mow the house.

If nature is your thing, and seeing real pieces of history, then make sure you go check this park out!

If you want to go back in time to a place that sits alongside the creek. There was a small bar in the main house for travelers to take a break from the heat of the day and enjoy the cool shade. I would suggest the tour because they really help envision how life was here when Denver was in its infancy. Long before air-conditioning and indoor plumbing. We went on a hot day so when you step down into a cellar you can really feel the difference in temperature.

Really neat experience. Lost a star as horse handlers left loose of the draft horses (two of them, hitched together, 2,000 lbs a piece, not hitched to the wagon) and they barreled down the path toward all of the school groups. It was fortunate that there were no people on the path or this might be a different sort of review - those horses were not listening or stopping. Otherwise it was a great experience. My one issue (other than stampeding horse teams) was that there were multiple school groups including our own, and the lunch/picnic area only had three picnic tables, leaving a handful of kids at tables and the remainder sitting on logs at the perimeter.

A great look back into history and a great place to watch fireworks

This is a great place to take your dog. We went there and ate some dinner at the picnic table. There are awesome trails and a gift shop indoors. This place has horses and conducts tours.

Interesting but only stopped for a rest and to use tools for biking.

Spirits and Spirits was a very fun and wonderful event. The food was great I was catered in from different restaurants they serve wine and beer which was nice. I love the scallops the best. It wasnt crowded which I enjoyed. There were a few different things that you could participate in and I like that especially the tarot reader she was amazing and she had really great energy.

I literally live right across from this beautiful hidden gem!! Awesome to workout when you’re tired of the indoor gym. People are friendly as they pass by and bikers are respectful when they pass you up.

A living, working interactive wild west museum right in the middle of Denver.

Fun family activity, or field trip. We didnt make it to Oregon.

Great place to visit with children. You feel like you go back in time and in the country side, when youre inside a big city. Plus kids 5 and under are free of charge.

Enjoyed a very nice Wednesday outdoor concert. All ages got to be comfortable or roam, plenty or space and easy to bring in food and drinks. Sunsets right behind band stage and cool Colorado breezes are the best in mid July.

We have so much fun here

Great cultural experience here about Denver in the old days and living on the frontier.

Drinking fountain still shut off

It was a great learning experience. The kids had a great time there. I would like to go back during Halloween because they show you how the Pioneers celebrated Halloween

Really cool place to walk around and see some history. Check with them to see what events they have going on.

Lots of fun...kidos had lots of fun

Went on free day so what could I complain aboutCool piece of history

Nice display of history.

Really a nice area with a river and Rapids as well as historic buildings and places

This is a great late 1800 s style ranch, compete with goats, chickens, and horses! Very informative and ideal for those who love living history sites. A must-go for those who want to learn more about the early settlements of Denver. They also accept volunteers and school groups.

For Mike Historic Park is good if its to the rescue only

This is a fun little park that is great for kids. Its usually pretty quiet and you typically have the place almost all to yourself. We always had fun playing in the tee pee. Dont forget to get a pan to pan for some gold. They have great festivals in the fall and at other times during the year. I think kids under 6 are free too so look into that.

Just went this weekend to Kidtopia and volunteers/event was unorganized we got there at 10:45 and activities were already running low or out of material. We made line for so many stations just to be told they are out of material and that they were trying to get more. I remember reading that tickets were limited so they must have an idea of how many guest are coming to have enough supplies. Once u do go to a station some volunteers dont instruct you on what to do. I had to ask for help in making the slime . Volunteer put down his beer and then decided to tell me how to make it.

Great place to get the kids excited about history

Very friendly staff, had an awesome time

Took a little trip to Four Mile Park and really enjoyed it. We took a trip back into history and the Tour Guide, Mark, was great and while dressed in period grab, he explained what took placed in at 4 Mile Park and how it applied to Denver.Historical buildings and things to do for the kids. No dogs are allowed.

Great historic village near downtown Denver of of the Cherry Creek bike path. The volunteers are wonderful..

Awesome place in the middle of town. Everyone should go see it at least once

Nice lil hike

Its not in great condition sadly.

Amazing classes for kids and the festivals are not to be missed

This is a nice area in Glendale to go walk your dog
