Found with Java Chip. We had no idea this museum was so awesome. We especially enjoyed the train, but everything was very fascinating. Spent 3.5 hours here and had to rush at the end because they were closing. We can't wait to come back and bring our family. Thanks for placing a cache here. We would probably never have come here otherwise!

Yay! Found with Nerak2001. What a cool place. Well worth the visit. My dog was more interested in this museum than walking on the Colorado Trail. Yes, Dogs are welcome here.

Found with Nyvlak after hiking a little on the Colorado Trail. Answers will be sent soon to the CO. We really enjoyed walking around this area. Had no idea this museum was so extensive and detailed. Thanks for the fun!
