A fun place near Denver is the “Wildlife Experience”. It has a lot of beautiful statues both indoors and out. 
There is lots of taxidermy animals as well as interactive things for kids.
We spent several hours here just walking around looking at things.
It’s a great place for photography as well.
The location is: 10035 S Peoria St, Parker CO. To contact them the phone number is (303) 315-9444. The cost I believe was $12 for adults and $8 for kids 3-12. So if your in the area, check it out.
