"Free Fun in the Heart of Breckenridge"
Lots of great information on the history of Breckenridge. Upstairs is a kids area that is interactive with a phone, weights to weigh your gold and a dress up area - although when we were there I didn't see outfits. Downstairs is a video about the history of mining in the area. There is a clean public bathroom downstairs. It's a good place to pass a little time or get a decent overview of the town. Outside is a small slide and play area for toddlers and small children. The Welcome Center sits on the Blue River. Kids love to climb on the rocks in the river and wade in the cool (sometimes downright cold) water.

"Unexpected kids play area"
I had passed by this place in Breckenridge a number of times and never took my kids in there because I thought they would be so bored by a museum, but one day when it was pouring with rain we took shelter inside and found a whole upstairs area with some really cute things for the kids to play with. There was dress up stuff, an old telephone and old weights......surprisingly fun, and we were able to while away the 45 minutes until the rain stopped and had fun at the same time. It's worth a visit.
