The History of Meow Wolf Denver

Meow Wolf began its artistic journey in 2008, when a group of passionate artists and creatives came together to redefine the boundaries of immersive storytelling. Meow Wolf Denver is now their third installation with another in Las Vegas, Nevada. There is a theme/storyline the interweaves all three locations.

Meow Wolf angler truck — Like most of the art exhibits at Meow Wolf, this installation didn’t have a name, but I call this the “Angler Truck” after the fish it resembles.

Exploring Meow Wolf

The interactive exhibits, vibrant colors, and surreal landscapes offered an enchanting escape from reality. From crawling through hidden passages to solving mysteries and uncovering secret rooms, there was never a dull moment. Our imaginations soared as we immersed ourselves in the awe-inspiring installations.

Meow wolf Numina land — The scale of the art exhibit within Numina was quite impressive! This is a three story, multi-platform open concept.

Meow wolf Numina creatures — In the world of Numina we discovered gravity defying creatures on the ceiling I liked to call “spider pigs”!

Meow Wolf Numina Rapunzel — What if Repunzel was trapped in Numina? I think she’d look just like this exhibit!

Meow wolf bus — The sun valley bus on C street is also a entrance into the auto sound room.

Meow Wolf C Street Auto Sounds — Fill a room with deconstructed car parts, street signs, and musical instruments, then time it to seemingly random rhythmic sounds, and you start to get an idea of this art exhibit.

Creativity and Imagination on full display

The interactive nature of the installations fosters imagination and encourages exploration.

Meow wolf C Street pizza entrance — This modest staircase is the entrance to a very twisted pizza parlor similar to a large rodent but way funkier!

Meow wolf guide — Throughout the art exhibit, you will encounter a few guides. They are “helpful” but with a twist. This guide provided us with a QPass after performing a magic trick.

Meow wolf Qpass — The QPass are cards that allow you to interact with various elements within the art exhibit. There is a complete sub-story you can explore with these cards as well.

Meow Wolf C Street Mister Corner — This convenience store clerk was the first time we used a Qpass to “store a memory”. Memories are a whole underlying story in Meow Wolf Convergence.

Meow Wolf Alpaca Pinata — I sometimes feel bad if I don’t use the proper names for an artist exhibit. However, since there were no names, presented call this one the “alpaca piñata”

Meow wolf Denver library — The library is a fun room within the Ossuary world.

A word of warning on satanic symbolism

For 90% of the experience, the exhibit is fun, creative and free of political, spiritual, or cultural agendas. However, that other 10% is worth mentioning if you are brining children and/or sensitive to spiritual elements.

I didn’t take any pictures of those areas but there are a few rooms with a occult symbols and a few “almost” occult symbols.

Was Meow Wolf Denver worth the price?

At the time of this writing a ticket to Meow Wolf Convergence Station costs anywhere from $45 – $55. For a family of 4, that’s well over $200 for this art exhibit. (They offer a $5 discount for children) Compare that to a museum like the Guggenheim, where you can see actual Picassos at $30 adult ($19/child) and Meow Wolf Denver starts looking a little overpriced.
