Programs

There is always something happening at the University of Colorado Museum of Natural History. Adults, students, kids and families can explore natural and human history through a wide variety of programs. For a daily listing of programs, visit the Calendar

Through lectures, workshops, and special programs the Museum presents opportunities to learn directly from scientists and artists, and to meet other people who share the same passion for the natural world.

Family programs are offered throughout the year, including themed Family Days from September through May and Children's Museum Workshops during the summer.

Field trips, workshops, self-guided visits, discovery kits and other outreach materials are among the many interactive and age-appropriate materials offered by the Natural History museum.

We're committed to student academic success. Check out our lectures and workshops. Study or meet with students in the Biolounge. Use the museum for a class project!
