Four Mile Historic Park

The displays for the Bright Nights event were great. They were very creative and had everything from dragons to Colorado wildlife and flowers. Many of them are animated or blow smoke. The colors were great and there was a lot of detail on the characters. A quick walk through is a little under an hour, but if you go with kids you could be there a lot longer. It was nighttime, but we did see a couple horses and pigs in their normal living quarters.

An event for all ages! I came with two of my girlfriends, on a Thursday night. We arrived at 7:15, just before the sun was gone for the night. We were able to park in the parking lot. We were greeted warmly by staff in the parking lot and in the visitor center.We stopped by the bar lounge, and chatted over drinks (they have soda, water, beer, cocktails and wine), until it was completely dark. We began strolling and were in awe of the beauty of the light displays and delighted when we say there were interactive exhibits as well. We learned about culture, and let our inner child out on the light up swings.This is a great place for families and friends. Nestled in a neighborhood, it's like a hidden gem.

2023 Bright NightsLight show was my favorite event of the year. It exceeded my expectations with lights at each section designed with its own theme. Lots of interactive plays for kids and even food trucks and drinks. This rivals zoo lights and admission tickets start at $25. The Four Mile House is the oldest house in Denver built in 1859 served as a tavern pit stop 4 miles away from DNVR city center.

So odd that this historic old homestead still sits tucked amongst the modern development of Denver. The original plot was settled nearly 200 years ago in the 1800's, and there has been an effort to showcase the old-timey way of life. They do a lot of different activities and events at this park - some of them are for a fee, so double check if you need tickets first. A great place for younger kids as well. Definitely worth a visit.

This event was an experience my family will remember.Cost: $25 per person ($100 for our family of 4)They also sell soda, beer, wine, hotdogs and burgers at the entrance and they have a gift shop photos and trinkets. All things you'd expect at a family event. We ate first but the smell of the grill made the kids hungry... typical We spent less than $50 on a couple adult drinks and food for 2. So, if you're looking for a reason to skip cooking, the food was kid approved. We arrived around 7:30 pm, it was about 30 minutes before dark, giving us plenty of time to order and use the restrooms before starting our enchanting walk through the lights. The weather was warm, perfect time of year for this event. Tip: Additional indoor restrooms through the gift shop.Time: We spent about 90 minutes walking through, the kids were engaged with each stop and we took tons of fun pictures. I think Connor and I could've gone through it in half the time. If it's just two of you, I'd plan for an hour. It was really fun to share this experience with the kids and discover a new place for family outings.

Great fun at Bright Nights at Four Mile Historic Park!Truly a visual extravaganza. Beautiful colors, a nice walk, and great animatronics on some of the displays. Take a look at the photos I and other people have left. But of course you have to be there to get the full impact. Really an impressive display and I'm glad I went!

What an interesting place to visit and learn about. It's mostly school field trips and I haven't been back since I was in elementary school. There are lots to see and do and it's a large plot of land so you have lots of walking opportunities. The house is an original and everything else are rebuilds. The only way to tour inside the house is with a tour guide. My favorite part were the animals. You can pet them if they're close by. They have horses, goats, and pigs. Bring a couple of quarters with you if you want to feed the chickens.

Was quite amazed by the exhibition in 2023, but the Bright Nights in 2024 certainly exceeded my expectation. Most of the animals in the exhibition were more detailed, lively and animated than prior year. The themes were well planned and rarely repeated, like strolling into chapters of a whimsical storybook, bringing back the memories of the childhood joy and imagination.

Four Mile Park is another site on my bucket list that I was finally able to visit. This place is fantastic and has something for everyone, from kids through to adults. They have bees, pigs, chickens, horses, a blacksmith shop, and loads of history - it's all so much fun for a history buff like me! Four Mile House is the oldest residence in Denver. We were greeted at the entrance and given a map of the grounds, then set free to wander the park for as long as we wanted to do so. You can so a self-guided tour of the grounds or attend a tour. The best part, for me, was when we were given a private tour of the house itself. Some of the furniture is original to one of the owners! The tour guide was extremely knowledgeable about the house and history. In fact, all of the staff were friendly and helpful. I'll definitely visit here again.

Absolutely amazing! Go during the week when it's less crowded. The animatronics on several of the exhibits was an added bonus. Highly recommend and the photos don't even do it Justice.
