South Broadway is about to swap toolboxes for textbooks from Hogwarts. Harry Potter: The Exhibition is moving into a former Ace Hardware at 417 S. Broadway near Alameda, turning the two-story space into a full-blown wizarding playground starting June 26.
The touring experience brings movie props, recreated sets, and interactive stations to Denver, with hands-on activities that run from brewing potions to testing your Quidditch reflexes. It is built to hook both kids and grown-up Potterheads who still know their house colors by heart.
The show takes over the South Broadway site beginning June 26, according to CBS Colorado. General tickets go on sale May 14, with a presale starting May 13 for fans who join the exhibition waitlist, 98.5 KYGO reports. CBS notes the Denver run is produced by Warner Bros. Discovery Global Experiences alongside Imagine and Eventim Live.
What You Will See Inside
The exhibition is laid out as a series of themed galleries designed to feel like you are walking onto a film set, with original costumes and screen-used props on display. According to the exhibition's press release, visitors can brew potions in a Potions Classroom, face a boggart with a digital wand, pot a mandrake in Herbology, and step into recreations of the cupboard under the stairs, Hagrid’s hut, and the Great Hall.
In other words, it is less “do not touch” museum and more “roll up your robe sleeves and try it” experience.
DroneArt Skies And 25th-Anniversary Programming
As part of wider 25th-anniversary celebrations, PR Newswire says a DroneArt Show: Harry Potter will fly over Tivoli Quad on the Auraria Campus, complete with live music, synchronized LED wristbands, and roughly 1,200 illuminated drones forming shapes in time with the film's soundtrack. Local listings place the Denver performances on July 10 and 11 at Tivoli Quad, as noted in local coverage.
Tickets, Merch And Visitor Tips
Want first crack at a time slot? Sign up for the presale waitlist on the exhibition's official Denver page to get early access and to check practical details like accessibility and estimated visit length.
Organizers' press materials also flag an on-site retail shop stocked with limited-edition prints, house-mascot mugs, Chocolate Frogs, and bottled Butterbeer, with some items billed as exclusive to the exhibition.
Since its 2022 U.S. debut, the touring exhibition has already drawn more than four million visitors worldwide, according to Event Marketer. So expect extra foot traffic on South Broadway during the run, and consider joining the waitlist before presales open if you want to beat the crowd of aspiring witches and wizards.
