![]() They gave us little carnival tickets and wrote the time of the tour and number of tickets we wanted, so that they could count the number of tickets that would be claimed and could tell the people at the end of the line they weren’t going to get tickets that day. At 6:45, a representative from the Mint came out, shared what tour times were available that day and how many tickets were available. By about 6:45, the line stretched half a block, so I was glad we didn’t arrive any later. We did get in line at 6:30 AM, and we were about the sixth party in line. Since the first-come, first-served system is pretty new, there weren’t a lot of reviews that mentioned it but I decided to try to arrive at about 6:30 AM in order to ensure that we didn’t get up early – but not early enough – and get no tickets at all! I wasn’t sure how “quickly” they meant, so I did a little research beforehand on Yelp and TripAdvisor to see what people were saying about when they got in line for tickets. Their website says “tickets are in high demand and go quickly when released at 7:00 a.m”. Sometime recently (late 2016 or early 2017), the Denver Mint changed from a system of online reservations for tickets to a first-come, first-served system in-person at the Mint. I’ll share more on the latter two soon, but today, it’s the Denver Mint! My kids and I took a day trip to Denver this week and visited the Denver Mint, Hammond’s Candy Factory, and the Denver Museum of Miniatures, Dolls, and Toys.
