Golden Business Spotlight: Golden Curiosity Shop

Tucked away along South Golden Road is one of the Front Range’s most fascinating gems — The Golden Curiosity Shop. Step inside and you’ll feel like you’ve entered a world straight out of a Harry Potter novel. Every corner of this museum-like store is packed with wonders: real Moon rocks, meteorites from Mars, prehistoric insects trapped in amber, animal skeletons, and even dinosaur fossils. You can even fire up a Van De Graaff generator to shoot lightning from your fingertips — over 400,000 volts of electrifying fun!

For the truly adventurous, there’s a selection of edible oddities like chocolate-covered crickets, tarantulas, and jerky made from python, shark, or snapping turtle. The shop also carries jewelry, décor, plants, apparel, books, and hundreds of science-themed gifts, all carefully curated from around the globe.

Owner Luke Maas, a sixth-generation Goldenite, opened the shop to share his love of science and discovery with his hometown. Whether you’re searching for a one-of-a-kind gift or just want to indulge your curiosity, this is a must-visit stop in Golden.
