About Pride Celebration at the Children's Museum 2026

Pride Celebration at the Children's Museum brings Denver Pride 2026 to the kid-and-stroller set on Saturday, June 27, 2026, from 9am to 4pm, turning the whole campus into a day of family-friendly Pride. It's the kind of low-key, all-ages celebration that fills the gap between the big PrideFest crowds downtown and a morning with little ones who'd rather climb, splash, and make a mess than march. The party unfolds at the Children's Museum of Denver at Marsico Campus, 2121 Children's Museum Dr, tucked along the South Platte River just off I-25 at 23rd Avenue, right between the Highlands and downtown. Expect the usual hands-on exhibits dialed up with Pride flair, rainbow crafts, story time, and a welcoming crowd of LGBTQ+ families and allies. Admission stays at the museum's standard, wallet-friendly rate, and the whole thing is built for all ages, so bring the babies, the grade-schoolers, and the grandparents. Getting there is easy. There's a free surface lot on site, though it fills fast on Saturdays, so roll in close to the 9am open or plan to circle. If you'd rather skip the car, the museum sits steps from the Denver B-cycle network and a short walk from the Platte River Trail, which makes biking in a genuinely pleasant option in late June. One local tip from us, pair the morning with a stroll across the pedestrian bridge to Confluence Park, where the kids can wade into the river while you grab a coffee from the shops at the REI flagship next door. It's the perfect cool-down after a busy Pride morning.
