We couldn't fit it all in and we stayed downtown for 10 days. I'll have to admit, some places we visited more than once. ;)
Here's a quick overview of our favorite of Denver's many offerings:
16th Street Mall: A tree-lined shopping and dining bonanza with trolleys and horse-drawn carriages.
Biker Jim's Gourmet Dogs: Unique wild-game hotdog experience with kosher beef for the rest of us. Get it with cream cheese... yum!
Children's Museum of Denver: We went here every day, practically. Huge hit with the preschoolers and toddlers!
Denver Museum of Nature and Science: Science museum with dinosaur fossils, planetarium, and super-fun Discovery Zone.
Denver Zoo: Very kid-friendly zoo, located next to the Museum of Nature and Science and across from a very nice park.
Dinosaur Ridge: A must for the dinosaur fan! Actual footprints and fossils to explore.
Downtown Aquarium Denver: Complete water cycle experience. Watch out for the waterfall...
Lariat Loop: Beautiful way to get out into the mountains for the day.
Red Rocks Ampitheater and Park: Must-see on the Lariat Loop, or a destination all its own.
Six Flags, Denver: Located near the Children's Museum. Who doesn't love a theme park?
Tattered Cover Bookstore: Historic independent bookstore with an eclectic kid's section. My toddler loved it, even without a train table.
We keep adding more, so check back often. Better yet, add your favorites to the comments section!
