We went on 4/26/25 when they were celebrating Aurora's 137th birthday with a party! There was Miss Deborah who was painting faces, there was birthday cake, snacks and fun activities for the kids to do. My three year old loved having her face painted and playing outside with the other kiddos. We also went through the Colorado dinosaur exhibit with really cool fossils and bones to check out! There is a huge Torosaurus Skull and a huge woolly mammoth bone! We had a great time and everyone was just so kind to my daughter and I. The best part, admission was FREE!!

I learned so much history about Aurora in this museum. There is a mini train in there that was build long time ago. The owner of the mini train built it into his house and made it a master bedroom. After passing, family member donated to the museum. It was an amazing story. The museum is not big but a great place for the people in the town. Especially, they have activities for children. They also have field trips for the children. Incredible.

Some people on here talked about having a guide, that’s about the only thing that could have made this free little Museum even better. There’s a small variety of items helping to detail the history of Aurora as well as photographs. The life size trolley car is a highlight. I liked reading all the old fashioned advertising. There is also a modest gift shop with some Colorado/Aurora related items. And some cute greeting cards.
