For a very unique shopping experience while here in Denver, make sure to check out The Wizards Chest located in the ritzy shopping area of Cherry Creek. When driving down Fillmore Street, this establishment is almost impossible to miss. After all, it’s the only “Castle” located in the area! It contains just about every sort of game and costume for any event you can possibly think of. Be prepared to spend some time here though because there is so much to look at. We spent hours browsing and shopping and didn’t even see it all!

Once you walk across the mote via the drawbridge and enter the store, a wonderment of curiosities will immediately spark your interest. The store is divided up into two floors. Going up the stairs, customers will find a countless variety of high end costumes, masks, wigs, and accessories for any event imaginable. The selection is amazing and caters to the young and old alike. For example, if you are looking for a hat, there are 20-30 to choose from on any given day. The best part is The Wizards Chest won’t break the bank either while you’re there. You get more costume for your money than anywhere else in the Denver area. If you choose to go down the stairs to the lower level, you are greeted by just about any card game, magic trick, or puzzle you can think of. From Magic Cards to Monopoly, they have it all. If you are into card games, and have some time to spend here in Denver, they do weekly gaming events you sign up for in advance. Call for details.

The Wizards Chest got its start as an 850 square foot toy store in 1983. It was designed under inspiration from J. R. R. Tolkien’s book, Middle Earth. Since that time, and many happy customers later, the store has grown from a small toy business to an 8,000 square foot castle of fun. Just inside the front door, customers are greeted by a wizard who goes by the name of Winchester Slatebeard. This is the same wizard that has been greeting customers since the stores inception! The castle is big enough so it usually isn’t jam packed. There is also ample parking behind it for free (most parking is metered in this area) as well as street parking in the front.

If you are like most tourists and you need to find something special for your loved ones back home, The Wizards Chest should be your first stop. The place was designed for all age groups. Can’t find what you want at the physical store? Go online to their website and you will find even more of a selection that can be shipped to you worldwide.

Everyone loves to either be someone else for a day or connect with others who share their similar interests. We highly recommend stopping into The Wizards Chest for at least an hour or so if at all possible. Bring the kids, your friends, or just yourself. Wander around and remember what it was like to be a child all over again. Get lost in the fantasy land that is The Wizards Chest.
