DENVER — At first glance, it looks like a playground. But it's actually the Denver Museum of Nature and Science's new, outdoor extension. 'It's just a really fun, super active place. You can be here for hours or do one thing and come back later,' said Frankie Farrell. Nature Play is a 4-acre play and learning space that mimics Colorado's eight ecosystems.Visitors of all ages can climb, jump, slide, relax, and learn in recreated environments.
'People wanted the opportunity to really feel the different environments of Colorado while being in an urban setting,' said Altreuter.The museum worked with Denver's Park and Recreation Department to complete Nature Play. Along the way, they gathered community input. 'What people said is that they wanted a space that reflected all of Colorado, all of what we love about Colorado. As Coloradan’s, of course, we love to be outdoors,' said Altreuter.
