DMNS maintains a number of diorama halls, and is home to the Phipps IMAX Theater and the Gates Planetarium. It is located in City Park, about two miles east of downtown Denver. The view from western side of the museum is one of the most famous vantages of the Denver skyline and the mountains behind them due to the museum's relatively higher elevation compared to the rest of the park.

Phipps IMAX Theater
The Phipps Auditorium was built in 1940 and was modified to house an IMAX screen in 1983 . This was the only IMAX theater in the tri-state area for the ten years after its completion. At this time, this theater is not equipped to show IMAX features in 3D . Because the theater is part of the museum, it does not show any mainstream titles formated for the IMAX experience. It also claims to have the biggest theatre screen in the world, fully equipped with surround sound and surplus seating.
