After visiting the Meow Wolf in Las Vegas I knew I had to check out all of the others eventually. I got the annual Supremium pass so that maybe I could go to the LA location since it’s an easy flight from SEA but now it looks like my pass is going to expire before they open because of delays so I decided to go to Denver this week and check out the Meow Wolf Denver.All I can say is it’s amazing! Every MW location comes with an optional mystery you can solve. You DO NOT need to solve the mystery to enjoy the exhibit because the exhibit in itself is mind blowing. I was just a looker in Vegas, but after watching people running around trying to solve the mystery, I thought I would try to solve the mystery in Denver. It cost under $10 to get the Q pass card which you need to participate.I don’t want to give away any spoilers, but this amazing staff member named Deb gave me some really good pointers that totally made the challenging mystery easier for those of us that are not inclined to solve brain twisting riddles (ME). So it’s very obvious that the Denver location is supposed to be four different planets that somehow converge together to create this dimension where they are stuck together, but no one really knows why this happened. The first mystery is to figure out how this happened. Once you figure out the first mystery, a new mystery will present itself. Deb told me to start where everyone starts, C St. and walk around and explore, just absorb what you can for the first 30 minutes. Then go to the theater and watch the movie. There is a silly seven minute movie about butter that doesn’t really relate to anything (I think) and it’s just sort of silly. But the next movie is about 12 or 15 minutes long and that’s the movie that you want to see where it will starts to all come together. Once you realize how the four worlds came together, then the next mystery will start to present itself. The other tip is to take your Q pass and boop any Q reader machine that you run into. They look like badge reader machines at work. Sometimes they are hidden but the sensor is always revealed. And then try to boop things that don’t look like the badge reader pads (blobs in the forest) because they interact. In x2 two hour visits, I was almost able to solve the whole mystery. I think the finale involves a pay phone, you will need to take notes. The lock door has a code on the front of it, this code is actually a phone number that you need to call at the Pay Phone around the corner from the lock door. The payphone will give you four steps of instruction. I did not have time to do all four steps. It helps to bring a friend, but I did not have one on this trip. I definitely plan to come back with my nine-year-old son who is ND and super into retro stuff, including payphones.On that note, MW exhibits are super great for the ND crowd. They kind of get our quirky sense of humor and you can fully immerse yourself in the weirdness. It is a safe space. I went earlier in the day and there was less crowds, but I went on Thursday evening at like 8 PM and literally nobody was there. That was the best!

This was a super cool place. We went on a higher admission fee day but it was totally worth it! We spent about 3.5 hours there, so much to see and riddles. We even probably missed things. Definitely would go again!

The place is a convergence between the Burning Man, mushroom trip and Mexican lesbian fantasy Battlestar Galactica. Lots o repurposef 50ies gadgets. Worth seeing, also buying the $3 extra pass is a useful into the creators' imagination. The place is designed for teenagers, you can count spending 1-2 hours (on a rainy day).

We were only in Denver for one thing, but needed something nearby to do on a different day so I looked up where to take teens in Denver and this popped up and peaked my interest the most. I was a little unsure of what to expect and didn't like a couple of cult or anti-Christian things people said they saw, but I read more good than bad so went for it. My biggest overall concern was whether we got to touch things or just look and the high price.Our family of 5 with 3 teens went on a Tuesday afternoon in July. I was put off by the price and believe the price should be more like 30 a piece or maybe offer some deals which I could not find anywhere--not even a coupon in the Colorado Visitors Center (just an ad), so that was disappointing along with the around 15 parking price. I also didn't like you can't walk out and come back in. Almost all places allow for that and for that price, it should not be an issue. There were other extra rules museums don't typically had and I felt like I could barely bring anything in including our waters, but later saw people with water bottles. Those negatives aside, I rated it better than average because we all enjoyed it. It was unique, creative, interactive and who doesn't like to freely try to open doors to see what might be lurking behind them. They also had cool throwback items the adults could especially appreciate. It could be confusing to know where you are supposed to go to next, but one of my children told my more Type A self that that was part of the fun, so I tried to somewhat roll with that, but needed order towards the end to make sure we hit each dimension or floor before we left. I read about sensory overload and I could totally see this for those with Autism, but none of us, a couple of which can get overwhelmed by noises found it too loud---it may be more visually overstimulating for some possibly.There is something jutting up from the floor in a dark area by a door in the pizza room where I hit my foot and then subsequently scraped my arm. They need to remove it or put a sign there so someone doesn't get more hurt than I did. Overall, we would recommend it. We would not go to another one again unless the cost were less, but did not regret this as a one time thing. People of all ages were there. We spent almost 3 hours enjoying it. While there might be questionable things in there, I did not feel we were taking part in anything notably anti-us. We walked in as Christians and walked out as Christians. There is always something for someone to be offended about. Know that it is a bit strange, go with an open mind, if you see something you don't like move on--there is no repeated offensive themes that I could tell, and go have fun soaking in the the oddities and art of it all. Explore. Be free.

It was weird and meaningless. No considerable details. Expensive tickets . Unprofessional. Just weird shape with different colors without delicacy and details or thoughts behind them
