I loved going here because of the size of the displays and the history that they show off! My son loves coming here too since he can see things close up. It is a little dark in some areas but I suppose that might keep them on the green side?

We rode a bus out toward the Museum and it took us awhile to get there. The museuam didn't seem to be in a real nice part of town but once we were inside, we had a lot of fun! There were a lot of Ford Mustangs and motorcycles to look at and was well worth the small fee!

If you grew up in Denver you likely visited the Forney Museum as a child. If you are over 30 you likely visited when it was located in the Denver REI building off 15th and Platte. Back then it was a super creepy, yet a really neat place. Full of old cars, and trains decorated with ill dressed mannequins. The place was dusty, old, and I'm certain haunted. Fast forward to now and you'll find the new Forney Museum located off Brighton Blvd. It's clean, well kept, with a cute gift shop, and for old times sake they still have the mannequins.That aside there is a huge assortment of classic cars, trains, and motorcycles. We were lucky enough to have visited during a mustang exhibit which was quite cool. I'm the furthest thing from a motor head and quite enjoyed the Forney Museum. It's a great place to take your family and out of town guest.

We live near Denver, so have been to the Forney many times! In fact, we have a car there in a temporary Mustang exhibit right now. We recently visited again with a group of friends. Each time we go, I find something different to enjoy. This time, we happened upon one of the train cars that had a tour guide. He very nicely took us all through the restored Pullman and it was fantastic! He was very knowledgeable. They have many cars, trains and motorcycles that are always on display, but also have rotating exhibits that change. Right now, it is Mustangs . Earlier this year, they had air-cooled VWs. So it is always changing. We have visited many car museums around the US and are proud that we have such a good museum right here in Denver!Tips: They do not allow purses, backpacks, etc. but do have free lockers for you to store them in. There is also a small area with tables and a few coloring sheets for the kids. One of our friends needed a wheelchair due to leg issues and they had those available.

This museum is amazing. They have large locomotive engines in there that are simply awesome! Also,their displays of old cars, old trucks, old motorcycles, and even old farming equipment is perfecto.

I have been to a few transportation museums...while this is no Greenfield Village it does have some interesting items in its collection. If you have any kids interested in trains, cars or motorcycles this is probably worth the visit and can be completed in an hour or less...

We wanted to visit this museum for quite some time when and then it moved to its new location and we finally made it there!Like others have mentioned this a great museum, not too big with quite a collection of cars, motorcycles and trains.They have signs which give some details for each of their vehicles but we felt that they could have given just a tiny more information like where each vehicle (especially the antiques ones) were made.Other than that the museum is very interesting and was not crowded when we were there last Friday before lunch.They have a small shop and a gallery where they have miniature replicas of many vehicles, very impressive and fun collection.Great museum to visit!

Great display of transportation. Also they have different special displays of older cars that are on show. Admission is reasonable and a great place to spend a few hours!

Forget everything you have seen about transportation in bicycles, motorcycles, cars, buses, wagons, trains. It is a must-see museum. Don't miss it if you are in Denver.

This off the beaten track museum was a very pleasant surprise. We thoroughly enjoyed seeing the many, many antique vehicles from motorcycles to cars to fire trucks to train cars. We had a great time.

Has lots of all types of transportation from traps to motorcycles, amphibeous, and trains. There's a made t you can take pictures in.

Very pricey for what you see. In a very bad part of Denver, not the part of town you want to show to tourists. When we went it was freezing inside, so dress warm if it's cool. If you have been to any similar car museums such as in LA don't waste your $$.

Forney's collection of old-time cars is amusing to vehicle novices like me. And it entertained my car-expert stepfather as well. The main room is the highlight, while those looking for a quicker excursion can probably skip the die-cast miniatures collection.

This is a great museum where you can see some very rare transportation examples. The museum is very easy to get around it and you can get close to the cars for some great photos. Admission is very reasonable.
