Molly Brown House Museum

Very cool experience seeing such a well preserved old Victorian house. Molly Brown was a very interesting character and it was such a cool feeling saying I was her residence after more than 100 years. The staff were super friendly and helpful. Also keep an eye out for some possible paranormal experiences!

I was able to obtain free 2 hr on-street parking directly across the street. I would highly recommend this tour and their gift shop, which surprisingly had a wide variety of items to select from. You won't be disappointed! The tour guide was very informative, divulging interesting facts about Margaret's (she was never called Molly before her dealth) upbringing, marriage, her time upon the Titanic, and her suffrage movement history until her death. This was a beautiful house to tour, with many great details, finishes, and furnishings, both original and restored. It's amazing what a 5 bedroom, 1 bath, 7,500 SF home on 1 acre in downtown Denver cost 100+ years ago or what it sold for during The Great Depression. I encourage you to book yourself a tour to find out those figures ($$) and a lot more!

This is a very good museum with a lot of history on the Brown family, mining, and Colorado. Our docent was excellent! Lots of back stories and what it was like for the Browns to live in this house. I recommend buying your tickets online and allowing time to find a parking spot. You may have to park a few blocks away.

Wonderful historical learning experience. Not just for a historic home, but for the two things, Ms. Brown was known for surviving the titanic sinking and her work for women's rights in America. What an amazing woman!

Visiting the Molly Brown House and Museum in Denver was like stepping back in time to the early 1900s. The house itself is beautifully preserved, with intricate details and period furnishings that give you a real sense of how people lived during that era. Walking through each room, you’re surrounded by the history of the time, from the gorgeous stained-glass windows to the antique furniture. One of the most fascinating parts of the tour was seeing the Titanic memorabilia. It was surreal to be in the home of one of the most famous Titanic survivors and hear the incredible stories of Molly Brown’s resilience and courage during that fateful voyage. What I found especially inspiring was how the museum also highlights Molly Brown’s role in the women’s suffrage movement. Learning about her passionate involvement in fighting for women’s rights adds a deeper dimension to her legacy beyond the Titanic. The museum does an excellent job of showcasing her as a trailblazer, not just for surviving a disaster but for her tireless activism. Overall, the Molly Brown House and Museum is a must-visit for anyone interested in history, offering a rich, immersive experience that brings the past to life in an unforgettable way!

The Molly Brown House Museum was very cool. The guide was absolutely incredible, she knew so much about Margaret Brown and provided some great stories and historical insights. The cost was $22 each, and took approximately one hour. Worth the price.

Take the guided tours!!! As a tour guide myself when I was visiting the house they did a very amazing job with their storytelling and some facts you might not have known about the "Heroine" of Titanic.

It’s been years since I visited the Molly Brown House. My granddaughter recently went with her school and wanted to share the experience with me. 💝. Such a beautiful house with lovely antiques & stained glass windows among all the history! What a great time. I rediscovered the history of Molly Brown and was reminded of how instrumental she was in promoting women’s rights. She was a good person and humanitarian that traveled all over the world. Of course there’s also information regarding her voyage on the Titanic & information on survivors of the Titanic. As a lover of history, I had a great time! Whether or not you’ve already been there, you should go again…and take someone with you! Great gift shop in the carriage house as well!

Sept 2024-Business Trip-8 days: I thoroughly enjoyed my visit to this museum. I love history and architectural sites. Great gift shop! They've decorated it as close as possible to the way it looked during Molly Brown's life. There are several interesting exhibits. The guide was friendly; the tour was interesting. My wife loves a wide variety of teas & was thrilled with the recreation of Molly Brown's varietal blend of black, oolong & green tea found in their gift shop. (If she falls in love with it, I hope they ship!)

Wow, if you're a history buff, this is a GEM! Especially if you're into Titanic history. It's just so incredible how they lined a century ago. There is so much detail within the Victorian era home that it is just mind boggling. 5 stars all the way!

My family and I got to visit the Molly Brown House Museum during Denver Arts Week's Night at the Museums event where we enjoyed free admission. The museum offers a fascinating glimpse into the life of Margaret "Molly" Brown, a Titanic survivor, activist, and philanthropist. The beautifully restored Victorian-style home is filled with period-appropriate furniture and artifacts. It immerses visitors in the ambiance of the early 1900s. Each room is captivating, showcasing rich historical atmosphere that brings her inspiring story to life. However, parking can be tricky as the museum is located in a residential neighborhood with limited street parking. Arriving early or using nearby paid lots is advisable. If you're in Denver, this museum is a must-see for history buffs or anyone intrigued by this remarkable woman's legacy. You'll surely enjoy it as much as we did.

I'm into titanic history and discovery I have been binge watching titanic documentaries so when we decided to go to Denver as our spring trip you know I had to go check out the Molly Brown house. First off when you get to the house you'll notice that it is not in the best area in Denver, and even though it's age it's about the nicest house on that side of town. We had to sit on the porch for like 45 minutes until someone finally let us in, not sure why it took so long but the inside of the house made up for it. Considering its age the inside of that house looks better than most houses today. They told us that not everything is original from when Molly lived in the house, but some things are like stairs. In her kitchen she had REAL cans of vegetables that I'm sure expired a long time ago, there are three stories in the house and it is not wheelchair accessible because there are no ramps or elevators in the house, and if you get claustrophobic I would not recommend this to you because some spaces get real tight (Especially the stairs.) They had a gift shop in the back of the house if you want to take home something to keep or gift something to someone, as well as some cold drinks such as water and soda. Anyways I would recommend coming to see and explore the Molly Brown house at least once in your life if you're ever in Denver.

Had a family day here. I've always wanted to come here and finally made it. You can purchase tickets and get a tour or tickets to explore on your own. We did the tour and listened to the history of Margaret. The guide was very informative. Margaret is one of the woman in the Titanic movie. This is her house. I really love all the preservations of the house and artifacts. Truly something to look back in time. Just a note, that the house is a little warm. After the tour and exploring the beautiful home there is a store in the back of the house. I ended up buying a tshirt so I can change into it since I was so hot in my sweater! Lol It is a very cute T-shirt and reasonably priced. I would definitely love to come back next time and be more in tuned to the guide telling Margaret's story as I was distracted by my baby nephew. Lol This museum is worth a visit. It is a timeless and beautiful house.

Had the time if our lives walking around and taking the guided tour here! It was so fascinating to see and hear all the stories of the history of not only her life, but the house it's self and everything that happened after she passed away. Our tour guide was the sweetest women and you can tell she really enjoys her job! Being in the service quarters and hall way definitely made me feel some type of way. Also seeing some of her orginal art and decor that was bought by her and her family is so surreal. I'm so glad we came! The prices in the souvenir store are kinda steep, but I can understand why!

I brought a relative here who was visiting from out of town. We did a quick trip through and totally enjoyed it. The house seems well preserved and I found it fascinating to see the things people used and wore during that time period. I plan to go back again this winter and spend more time.

Loved this house! The guides were very knowledgeable and helpful. Margaret was a really interesting person in history and there was so much more to her than just what people think of on the Titanic. I highly recommend the guided tour. The gift shop is lovely. I am hoping to be back in town during one of their cocktail after hours events.

Well organized museum focusing mainly on women's vote and the Titanic. Margaret was a society woman that made her money in a gold mine and did some world traveling. Her story featured in The Unsinkable Molly Brown was a fascinating one written into the Titanic history. We decided not to wait for a tour and were given a write up to do self guided. It wasn't really necessary as much of the information was on placards in each area. We enjoyed our visit. What an incredible house!

The Molly Brown House Museum was absolutely amazing. Not only did I get to see information from the sinking of the Titanic, but also was able to see what a powerful couple Mrs. Brown and her husband were; very affluent, very connected, and very open-minded in an era when having different ideas from those of your fellow man were considered "dangerous" -- she was a suffragette, and that is extensively covered as well as a huge fan of Japan and its culture, and she even attempted to bring many of the things she saw in Japan, back to the people of Denver, so they could in turn see what the world's fashions were like at the time. She was a VERY savvy lady. I'm glad she survived, because she changed the face and name of the game of politics for women in her time, and more. Such an inspiration! Definitely a place worth exploring and visiting at a minimum once, if not twice even. BEAUTIFUL Mansion too... absolutely beautiful. For the time, very State of the Art as well!

If you're a history lover, I highly recommend planning an hour or two to visit the Molly Brown House Museum. Located near the Capitol Building, the house is one of the limited historical homes surviving in Downtown Denver's former Millionaire's Row. The home has been wonderfully preserved and featured a trove of Victorian era treasures (many of which were owned by Molly & JJ Brown) More importantly, the museum does a superb job of telling you the story of Molly and her family's lives. Prior to visiting, the only thing I knew about the amazing powerhouse of a woman was what I had seen in the Titantic movie. After leaving, however, I had a deeper appreciation who was SO MUCH MORE than one infamous journey by boat that she took. She was a fighter for women's rights and human right's in general. More people should know her story. Don't miss this gem in downtown Denver. PS - Keep your eyes and ears peeled for Ghost Kitty who supposedly haunts the second floor of the home.

The guided tour is worth the extra money. I learned so much. The house is gorgeous. She was an amazing woman.

I really want to give this a 5-star rating but.... The home is a beautiful example of historical Denver architecture. I would love to have seen the view before the office building across the street was built, I bet Molly loved that view! The tour guides are very knowledgeable and if you are interested in the time period it is a very interesting tour - especially the facts of how Molly became such and independent force of nature. The gift shop is really nice, but I was disappointed by the lack of a little more replica Titanic gear. My young niece is going for a titanic theme in her bathroom and I thought for sure we would find like a small cup, teacup, soap dish, candle, old postcards or posters that we could use but no. We ended up spending a lot of money on a life raft for her wall but we'll have to look elsewhere for the rest.

This was close to my hotel so I thought I would check it out. Overall, I thought this was an museum that was extremely well down, there were audio tours, guided tours, information on the internet and there was printed documentation in each room. No matter how you like getting information, there is something there for you. There was so much more to Margaret Brown than being a Titanic Survivor, and this tells her story. Although the furnishings in the house didn't belong to Margaret, it is fascinating to see how a house was furnished and how people lived a century ago.

What a wonderful museum! Living in Leadville, I was familiar with some of "Maggie's" story but DANG, what a bad beatch! She did so much to give back and I walked away feeling inspired!

I went here a couple of years ago and I don't have any words... you couldn't sit and sometimes they would go over time when they had to explain stuff.

Bottom Line: A historical home telling the story of Margaret Tobin Brown beyond just being a Titanic survivor. I enjoy touring historical homes so checking out the home that belonged to the unsinkable Molly Brown was on my list of things to do in Denver. The Molly Brown home was built in 1889 and in the Victorian style. The first and second floors are furnished to represent what they might have looked like when she lived there with her husband and two kids. The third floor is mostly an exhibit space as is the basement. To get the most out of the visit I recommend bringing headphones so you can listen to the audio tour. I left my earbuds at the hotel and regretted not getting to listen to the audio tour. For those who don't have headphones/ear buds there is written material in most rooms and a docent nearby to answer questions. While the home was certainly nice for its time featuring electrical, plumbing and central heat, it wasn't super opulent. There were lots of nice details in the woodwork, wallpaper, etc. but it wasn't gilded in gold (even though that is how the Brown's made their money) so it felt a bit more relatable than many other Victorian mansions I've visited. To help keep up her home Molly Brown had five servants that I assume lived on the third floor as well as other help that came in for the day. Two things I learned about the house that I thought were interesting were related to the grand staircase and daybeds. The grand staircase did not originally go to the third floor so the house was later renovated so that it would go all the way upstairs. Prior to that renovation only the servants narrow staircase accessed the top floor. I also learned why day beds were so popular in Victorian houses - because it was considered impolite to rest or nap in the main bed after the maid had already made it. Phew, good thing I make my own bed so I can nap in it at my leisure! There is also a carriage house on the property that serves as the museum shop. I enjoyed poking around in there and found some cool stuff like a scented bar of soap, raven earrings and an Edgar Allen Poe and Raven magnetic finger-puppets. Molly Brown, who was never actually called Molly in her lifetime, is probably best known for surviving the sinking of the Titanic but I found her philanthropy and humanitarian work to be most impressive.

Prior to arrival in Denver, I popped onto TripAdvisor and saw that the Molly Brown House museum was a featured tourist attraction. I was intrigued. I knew Margret Brown thru the Titanic tragedy of 1912 and that she was wealthy thru investments in the coal industry that boomed in that era. Prior to arrival, I read up on her bio on Wikipedia and learned a lot about her life after her survival. It was cool to see that she and her husband, J.J., purchased a house here in Denver and raised her family here. Upon arrival, I headed back to the ticketing area and checked in. Since I arrived a little later than when I purchased for (2:20pm), I was included with the one that was set to head into the house 5 minutes (2:40pm). I then headed to the front of the house where a small group of tourists were hanging out. Once it was time to head in, docent came outside and greeted us. It was cool to have more knowledge of Margret Brown and her family before entering the house. The fact that she was into spirituality and the ouija boards was very much interesting. The house itself was very large for the time period and signifies how much wealth the family had at the time. Even the toilet and the bathroom on the second floor, I was told, was the oldest in the house. It looked like it was made within the last 20 years. Pretty incredible, honesty. But it is what it is. The house had 3 levels, which the top level had a live in servant and a room to entertain guests. In those days, there was just the stairs and no elevators. The family lived on the second floor. I probably spent about an hour her and had to circle around a few times in each area of the house to make sure I caught a glimpse of everything. The overall experience here at the Molly Brown house museum was very enjoyable and enlightening. The building was restored to when the Browns were living here and the history was fascinating. The docents there educated everyone in our group how the Browns lived and somewhat enjoyed the wealth they acquired. The movie Titanic (1997) made me a fan and while I was looking for things to do while in Denver, I decided to check things out here. We were told not to touch anything. I even asked if the house was haunted, but they told me there was no evidence it was currently. The furniture and other furnishings of the house were amazing and very much of the time period. While there were some reconstructions of the originals, everything seemed to be the original of the house. When I saw one of her suits she wore on the Titanic, it brought me back to the movie itself. It was really cool to see a piece of history here. It was informative for sure how Margret Brown was a voice for Women's Suffrage. I spent about an hour here and loved very bit of it. While I could have spent more time here, seeing everything more than 4 times is a bit much. They also have a gift shop where you pick up your tickets. Best bet would be to buy them online for convenience. The Molly Brown House museum is located in Denver, Colorado. It's address is 1340 Pennsylvania Street near the Colorado State Capitol. To access the house, there is an admission fee, which is quite nominal. I believe I paid $17, which is for an out-of-state adult admission price. Online purchase of tickets are highly encouraged, but not required. Tickets can be purchased on site at the back of the house where the gift shop is also. As far as parking goes, I'm not sure about that, since i arrived via Uber. I assume street parking wherever you can find it. As far as public transportation goes, best bet would be to google Denver's public transportation system and see which bus routes you'd need to ride to get here to the Molly Brown House museum. I learned alot about the life and times of Margaret Brown, her husband, and her children. There's more to her than just the Titanic. She was larger than life and definitely an inspiration to anyone everywhere. 5.0 stars for the overall experience. Support local! A+

This stop was at the request of my oldest daughter who is fascinated by Margaret Brown and her story/legacy. That being said, my husband, sons and I truly enjoyed touring the house and seeing "about life back then" as my youngest would say. The house is well maintained, full of fascinating objects, and each room as explanations/laminated guides to help understand what you are seeing and how the house represents the family and life of Margaret Brown overall. I was especially fascinated by the thoughtful room exploring stereotyped icons brought back by the Browns during their travels and appreciated that while they have been removed from places of prominence in the home due to the racists overtones, they are still there as talking pieces and representations of history. The gift shop is fantastic; they have pressed pennies if your family collects those. Prebooking a tour time is very easy, and this is walkable distance to the state capitol building so you can combine visits after parking once.

Great house and it's extremely interesting with great facts. The tour group seemed extremely short and could be longer and give more details. I am looking forward to doing the haunted version of this tour next October.

We lucked out! We only had to wait 10 minutes to start a guided tour with Pam, who has been leading tours for 52 years. She was fantastic. She gave the official 28 minute tour and then shared about 20 minutes of BONUS information with us. They also have a great gift shop. This is highly recommended if you are in the Denver area.

Great little museum. I was introduced to Molly Brown through the Titanic stories, and really loved seeing the house that she and her family lived in. Mostly because it showed the style of construction, such amazing woodwork, the furnishings were beautifully made, beautiful stained glass throughout. Loved seeing the styles of that era. There is a 1st floor, which is the living space, then there are two floors above that have bedrooms and bathroom and meeting space. It didn't take long to walk through even after looking at all the knick knacks and artwork and books. If you have an hour or two to fit it in, you should. This house gives you more backstory to Molly Brown.

Suffragette. Businesswoman. Philanthropist. Reformer. Community Advocate. World Traveler. The Unsinkable Molly Brown. So interesting to discover the Molly Brown House and learn about an extraordinary woman. Loved hearing about her story via the digital audio tour while exploring the rooms in this Classic Queen Anne and Richardsonian Romanesque home. From humble beginnings to newfound wealth, surviving the tragedy of the sinking of the Titanic to campaigning for the right to vote, Margaret Tobin Brown, known as Molly after her death, was definitely a force. Margaret Brown was born in 1867 in Hannibal, Missouri, to Irish immigrants who came during the industrial era for the chance to gain more opportunities. Hannibal was a diverse community which exposed Margaret to views about freedom and equality. The Tobins also valued education for their daughters, a progressive view for the late 1800s, and Margaret was lucky to attend school until she was a teen. Her early life gave her the foundation for lifelong learning and giving back to others. At age thirteen, she began to work in the factories. After facing poor working conditions, she moved west with her brother to try for a better life during the Gold Rush. Unfortunately, life in a mining town was fraught with hardship. She worked in soup kitchens and began charity work to try help others face the harsh reality of living in the Rockies. She met and married J.J.Brown. Brown was poor, but smart and driven. When his hard work literally struck gold in the Little Johnny Mine, J.J. and Margaret became millionaires overnight. Wealth allowed the Brown family to purchase this beautiful home where they raised their family. They also travelled and Margaret began to support more social causes, although this took a toll on their marriage. Throughout her life, she tried to help improve the lives of others. The right for women to vote. Establish public bathrooms in courthouses. Add public city parks. Create a juvenile court system. Establish the Denver Women's Club. Help improve conditions for miners and children. Create awareness about the caste system in India by writing for the Denver papers. So interesting to learn about Margaret "Molly" Brown. What an inspiring story. To visit, make a reservation online. Time Traveller's passes are recognized. Parking is very limited. Not too far to walk from the Colorado State Capital.

Although most of furnishings are not the ones used by JJ and Margaret, but they surely did a laborious and excellent job sourcing similar antiques from the same era to resemble what it looked like when they lived here, illustrating the life of a typical Victorian era high class family in Denver, made famous by fateful maiden voyage of the RMS Titanic. If it has been more than 10 years since your last visit, then you have to visit again. You will be amazed by the changes.

what a phenomenal tour just the overall sheer history was worth the price of admission, everyone was extremely informative and willing to answer questions. Absolutely beautiful home.

The museum was wonderful. The guide was so knowledgeable. The staff was so kind. The house is beautiful with a lot of history. You will learn a lot. But BEWARE. If you park on that street on the first Wednesday of the month you will be ticketed $50. All of us parked on the side of the street of the museum got a ticket because that is evidently the day they sweep the street?? At least that's what the ticket said. No signage. The number on the ticket is an automated number. You can't talk to a live person. I can see why! Come on Denver , treat your tourist and guests better than that.

I really, really love museums, and this one has so much information about an amazing historical figure. I took advantage of the free tickets offered through the Denver Public library, and then set up a reservation over the phone for timed entry. Everything about the process was simple and easy. If you're a Denver public library card holder, be sure to take advantage! The house itself doesn't have a lot of signage, but there is an online transcript as well as a audio tour available. Be sure to bring headphones if you prefer to listen! The information included was really interesting, as it added a lot about the sources and also the time period. I love that they used photos of the house and antiques or recreations to make it look as it did in 1910. They even have some originals from Molly Brown herself! We spent about two solid hours wandering the house, speaking to the docents, and checking out the gift shop. Highly recommend, and it's in Capitol Hill so there are lots of good restaurants and other options to check out when you're done.

My sister was visiting from Florida and she wanted to go to the Molly Brown Museum in downtown Denver. Margaret "Molly" Brown is best known for her role on the doomed maiden voyage of the Titanic. But honestly she was so much more. Her story is a long one, but she grew up poor in Missouri and then Leadville, Colorado where she met and married J.J. Brown, who was as poor as she was. But J.J. got into the mining business and they acquired great wealth. They moved to Denver and bought the mansion. She traveled the world, was a philanthropist, and an early Suffragette, supporting women's rights. A woman ahead of her time. The mansion is well maintained and worth the visit. You have to make reservations online due to Covid. Masks ARE required at this time. There are stairs, so if walking and climbing stairs are a challenge, keep that in mind. My only complaint, as with older homes built in the 1800's in Colorado there's no air conditioning. It was warm in the house even with fans running.

Went on the self guided tour- very interesting and unique thing to do. Make sure to get the Denver culture pass if you're checking out other museums in the area to save $$! Also try to get tickets beforehand as we had to wait around 20 minutes before we could get in, but I'm sure on busier days it could be much longer.

As with other reviewers, Yelp needs 1/2 stars. We took the self-guided tour. There's enough posted information with each room to get necessary information. The large deduct was for parking and lack of access. Parking is horrible. If you go, be ready for a long walk. You might be lucky to find a street spot close, but highly unlikely since the museum is in a residential area. There's a public parking lot around, but nothing very close. Lack of access was we couldn't go to the 3rd floor because there was a group there having a meeting. Seriously?! Did they reduce the ticket fee a little because of this? No.

Don't overlook this small museum located in Molly Brown's actual home! I have a few hours of available time and noticed this highly rated museum nearby. Recalling back to my sixth grade history project days, when I presented on the Titanic I remembered the famous Unsinkable Molly Brown. A quick Uber ride later and we were transported to a super lush, historical part of Denver. A must just to see the beautiful homes. We had made our reservations online since it's a timed entry system. There were plenty the day of, but I imagine it could get busier on holidays and weekends. There are discounts for locals, educators, students, and seniors so look out for those. We were instructed to make our way behind the home to the carriage house to check-in. It was an easy find and simple. We then were instructed to wait on the porch and view / read the intro on our mobile devices. Note, there are printed pieces available for those without a mobile device. But the interactive nature of the mobile portion was great. Inside was simply beautiful. Everything as it should be. Plus some curated items on display. We were able to take a tour at our leisure. And being a timed self-guided tour we didn't encounter more than maybe six others. This is a fantastic tour if you love history, architecture, and fierce as heck women. Yes, there are Titanic bits and pieces here but Molly Brown was so much more than that. Take an hour or two and get to know her here at the Molly Brown House Museum. PS - Follow up your afternoon museum experience with high tea at The Brown Palace Hotel.

A great historical landmark! Feels like time travel. They've done a good job of preserving items and telling a story. There's definitely a focus on Titanic, but the house really shows a window into Margaret Brown's life. If you like history, this is a lovely little experience.

This tour was just like I remembered it as a kid 24 years ago. I have a small obsession with Titanic-related stuff, but on this tour you will learn that Margaret Brown was an incredible woman who dedicated her life to philanthropy. Her voyage on the ship is just a small part of what there is to learn. The guided tour lasts about an hour, and it moves fairly quickly due to several tours happening at the same time. Much to my surprise, you can roam the house as long as you'd like after! It was nice because I could keep the tour in mind while taking my time looking at the artifacts and rooms. I recommend the guided tour because you learn so much more than the QR scans tell you. We spent about 3 hours total at the museum. We found free street parking right across from the house, but on busy days you may need to park in a nearby lot. There is no air conditioning in the house for obvious reasons, and there are a few sets of stairs to be aware of while taking the guided tour. These are noteworthy points if you are traveling with those who may have issue with them. Many of the items are replicas to replace originals that were sold at auction. However, they do display some of Margaret's original belongings and point them out accordingly. The house is maintained so well, and the rooms really do transport you back in time. Margaret's story is one filled with poverty, newfound wealth, and giving back to the public as much as she and her husband could. They spared no expense in making their house lavish and beautiful, but also donated so much of their wealth to families in need. One of the key parts of the tour that I loved was the explanation of the golden wallpaper in the entryway of the house. I forget its specific name, but learning key details about the house like that was fascinating. Every room was set up perfectly as if the Brown family never left. Kids may not love this tour as much as adults who recognize Margaret's many accolades and what a cool relic of history her house is. Our tour guide knew so much about the house and Margaret herself. There were guides in the museum that would answer any questions you had about things, and to steer you back if you got too lost. The 3rd floor is an attic of sorts that functioned as a kids play room, and there are props/a photo op there with a Titanic backdrop. The carriage house has some additional reading/wall plaques, and plays a short film on repeat. There is a bathroom, water fountain, and chairs here if needed. This was the most lackluster part of the tour, so if you're running short on time, I'd skip it. The gift shop is much bigger than you'd expect, and you'll find pretty much anything and everything there. There were books, jewelry, perfumes, soaps, apparel, toys, and the list goes on. The staff are all so helpful and kind. Revisiting this museum was a really special part of our trip to Denver.

Lived here 13 years and never had occasion to go until this last weekend. The highlights can best be described as... Self guided Not too many people, they organize it so it's small groups Great detail via the audio tour app that can come free if you have a phone and headphones. Supplemental history of the titanic as well. Each room seems to be organized to be historically accurate although less then 10% of the contents of the house are original to the Brown family. Great history of a great woman You buy tickets online but you still have to get a paper pass, seems a bit backward but they make it work. The house is big but yet when you get inside it all feels so small. We are so acclimated to big open spaces in our homes now that these mansions remind of us of how fr we have come in home design. Definitely and interesting piece of Colorado history.

When researching what to do on my Denver trip, the Molly Brown House Museum came up on so many "Best of Denver" lists. I thought it was a bit strange that a museum about a Titanic survivor was this popular, but I ended up in the neighborhood and decided to stop in for a tour. I am incredibly glad I did. I didn't know much about Margaret (Molly) Brown before touring the museum, but I found her incredibly fascinating. A staunch supporter of women's rights and a philanthropist, she was so ahead of her time. The Titanic was just a blip of her life, and in fact, the museum barely touches on it. The museum itself is very well laid out and painstakingly restored to try to get as close to what they understood it was at the time. The self-guided tour is aided by their website that has information about each room, including background on the objects, furniture, and decor, what the room was used for after the Browns sold the home, and background stories on Molly Brown and her family. The docents and staff were all incredibly engaging and knowledgeable, and I left excited to learn all that I had, and eager to learn more about her. It's a bit expensive ($16 for adults, plus tax), but worth it to help preserve this important piece of history. Make sure to purchase your tickets in advance. I arrived thinking I could just walk in, but they're doing timed entry tickets for social distancing (which is great!) and I barely got a time within the an hour of my arrival.

Great small museum! A lot more information and more organized than I anticipated. They have knowledgeable docents and have lovely information on Margaret Brown and life around the turn of the century! (As well as information on the Titanic sinking, of course.)

The first thing you learn at this museum is that Margaret Brown never went by Molly, but thanks to a 60s Broadway musical, Margaret's name was changed to Molly for its greater singability. This amazing three-story (plus basement) home was slated to be torn down in the 1970s during Denver's urban renewal fever. It was to be turned into a .... parking lot. Don't take it for granted, folks! This was such a lovely museum to visit. It allows you to enter the home of a famous Coloradan/Missouran. Margaret Brown was an amazing human, and she no doubt would have been, regardless of her wealth. Her wealth and her being on and surviving the Titanic disaster launched her into international celebrity, such that she even hung with fallen Romanovs! I was delighted to learn of her connection to Leadville, a town I admire a great deal. (A fat vein of Leadville gold was the source of Margaret Brown's husband's wealth.) The museum docents are passionate and helpful. The gift shop, unfortunately, closed early, so I wasn't able to browse that. Make sure your phone is fully charged, and have everyone in your party bring their own headphones...the self-guided tour relies on these technologies. Also, I was excited to listen, on the way home, to a podcast episode about "Molly Brown," as explained to us by one of the museum's directors. https://www.whatshernamepodcast.com/molly-brown/

Really enjoyed this house and learning more about Molly Brown. Highly recommend & listen to the audio tour on your phone. Very informative. Tip-you enter thru front but need to go to back to carriage house/ guest house for your ticket then back to front door to be admitted.

A must do tour while you are in the Denver area!!! If you are not familiar with Molly Brown, you should be. She was a very capable and accomplished person and made a very big impact in her community and worldwide. The tour puts a heavy focus on the accomplishments and impact Molly Brown made in her life. You will learn about Molly as you tour this beautiful house in the area known as Capital Hill. You have a choice of doing a self guided tour or have a guide tour you through the house (which costs a little more). Val was our tour guide and she was fantastic! We would highly recommend a guided tour as you will learn so much more about Molly and the house.

I was so impressed with this museum. Molly Brown was such an incredible person, and was so far ahead of her time. It was great to be able to learn about her walking through her very own house. She had such an interesting background and the house is preserved so well from the furniture to the pictures. We just did the self-guided tour (it was fantastic) but I would probably spend the little extra money to do the guided tour. Molly Brown and the house/property itself has a great story! If you're in Denver, make time for this museum! You won't be disappointed and you can get through it in about an hour or so. It's also right around the corner from the capitol building so it's in a very convenient location. Again, highly recommend this!

This was a fun house to tour and had a lot of great stories that you could read about as you walked through. Some of the things that I liked about it were that the tours were self guided, and I had a chance to read about a lot of the stories myself. I liked that we could go at our own pace and spend more time in places we were more interested in. Gift shop is cute and had some fun items, and the local connection and connections to the Titanic were interesting. Not a whole day thing, but definitely worth an hour or 2.

This is the perfect tourist attraction in the downtown area of Denver! So much history to be seen and heard on this tour. Cost is $16 General admission price for those people who do not live in the state of Colorado. This was an excellent day trip! Your last about a hour and the staff is very friendly and helpful! You learn all about Molly Brown's life and her family. Not a whole lot is mentioned about the Titanic however you can grab some souvenirs from the cottage house in the back. I would not recommend this tour for younger children but I highly recommend it for everyone else!

Interesting historic house of the Margaret Brown who survived titanic, called "unsinkable". If you are a titanic fan it's really worth to visit. I was not as interested as it's just and old house of a rich people. Some interesting artifacts and some cool decorations.

The house is really nice, but the self-guided tour mostly teaches you about the house and it's history, not so much about Margaret Brown and her various accomplishments. If you like that sort of thing, go for it. Otherwise, I found the most valuable information to be the natural resources education center in the basement, which is all about mining and its history in the area.

This was highly regarded by many friends when in the midst of planning our Denver trip as it gives a realistic picture of who Molly Brown was, including a brief glimpse into what really happened on the Titanic. It is a beautiful house that has been preserved well. The website highly recommends reserving tickets ahead of time-- do it for the weekends when it can be especially busy. Luckily for my boyfriend and I a tour was available within an hour ish of our arrival so we bought tickets, read thru the infographics in the basement. Our guide was amazing- you can tell she is passionate and knowledgeable about the time period and Molly Brown herself. I wish they would give more time for the tour as there's not enough for all of the information/house presented- at times the tour felt rushed and I'm one who enjoys being able to peruse at my leisure. Definitely worth a stop if visiting Denver though.

Fascinating! We arrived at 230 knowing that it would close at 430. We hoped that was enough time to check the place out. Museum tour tickets are available for purchase in the Carriage House Visitor's Center behind the main house. We were in luck that a tour was about to start. We hurried to the front porch and waited for the guide. She arrived and was a kick! She was very animated and energetic. She told the story of Margaret Brown and when you were done you had a great understanding of the woman and the house. The Historic Denver group saved the Molly Brown House Museum from demolition in 1970. The home belonged to the Titanic survivor Margaret Tobin Brown. Our guide told Margaret's story from her childhood to her death. She was a very interesting person. Education was important to her and you learn how that helped later. The house is nicely decorated and has many items that represented her life. The house is called the House of Lions, but is more commonly know as The "Unsinkable" Molly Brown House. One note- she never referred to herself as Molly, it was always Margaret!! The gift shop was cute but I didn't stay in there long as I was not interested in purchasing anything. We had plenty of time in the 2 hours we spent. Go, learn about this fascinating woman !!

As a titanic fan, the Molly Brown House was on my must see list! I was a bit disappointed as it wasn't a tour directed by a guide, therefore it was challenging to navigate and also get a feel for the story. For the price, I wouldn't return, but if cost isn't an issue in your trip it's a good way to kill time and explore.

We had a great time at this house! We did the guided tour and it was totally worth it! It was great to have a knowledgable tour guide take us through the house and tell us cool facts about certain objects and about the history! It was a really cool and big house with lots to see! The guide doesn't go through each of the rooms with you upstairs but there is someone upstairs that can answer any questions you might have. Such a cool tour and experience to have in Denver! The gift shop was also nice and the house can get hot because there isn't any air conditioning but the gift shop was nice and cool! The only confusing part was that we had to go to the back of the house to the gift shop to redeem our online tickets and then go back to the front where the tour was. Overall a cool experience and I highly recommend it. We took our time to look at everything as spent around 2 hours there probably.

Visiting Denver to tour local colleges with my HS Senior daughter. We wanted a break from the college tours, so found this and an art museum to visit. I really enjoyed walking through this house and looking into the life of Molly Brown and her family. They have done an excellent job at first restoring and then preserving the home. Exhibit descriptions were great and the docents were available for any questions. Molly was very involved in the woman's right to vote movement and was a part of that history. Not much about the Titanic, but I am not sure it was something she wanted to remember! What I also liked about this house, is that it reminded me of a house we lived in when I was a kid in central NY. When we were there, 1970 to 1976, that house was 100 years old. Many similarities with the wood work, the gas to electric converted ceiling lights and the wall switches. They were push buttons, not toggle switches. Pretty cool. I recommend anyone to attend if they have some time in Denver. If you go, make sure you stop in to SubCulture around the corner for lunch. Very awesome sandwiches. See my review.
