I have been to several aquariums over the years and the Denver Downtown Aquarium compares favorably. The Aquarium is well layed out, with a nice flow and story in between the displays. Each of the displays had a nice information placard so you knew what you were looking at, but not so much information that you stopped reading. We took our infant son (he is 8 months old) and he had a good time looking at all of the different fish. There were lots, and lots of families! I would recommend not bringing a stroller. Things were a bit crowded and it was hard to maneuver the stroller. We carried our son so he could see all of the displays (kids can't see too much from the stroller). There is a nice looking restaurant with a great view of a huge aquarium. We didn't eat there but it looked like a nice place to spend some time watching some more fish.
Pros: Good displays, lots of fish
Cons: A bit crowded in some parts
