The Denver Firefighters Museum is open five days a week, Tuesday through Saturday, from 10:00 AM to 04:00 PM. The museum is closed on Mondays, Sundays, Thanksgiving, Christmas Eve and Day, and New Year’s Eve and Day.
The museum is worth visiting at any time. In addition to the permanent exhibition, it features occasional special events and various activities for children, such as Firehouse Tales for Tots on the third Tuesday of every month at 10:00 AM.
The museum is housed in the impressive 1909-built former fire station, one of Denver’s Landmarks, and tells a story of Denver’s courageous firefighters. You can admire the massive collection of vintage fire trucks and explore early and modern tools and safety equipment.
The museum offers a fascinating glimpse into their day-to-day life and houses fantastic interactive areas. Children can dress up in firefighting gear, slide down a fire pole, play in a firetruck, and handle real firefighting tools.
