Field Trips
The Denver Museum of Miniatures, Dolls and Toys is a great place to take your students or group on field trips. Get kids interested in history, geography, architecture, art, science and other cultures through the familiar medium of toys. Our program goal is to help schools address the Colorado Model Content Standards including history, geography, science and art.
Workshops are priced per child and include admission to the Museum at the time of the workshop. Educational workshops are available during our regular business hours. Make reservations at least one month in advance. Allow approximately 1.5 hours for a workshop and self-guided museum tour.
