Denver

This is not your ordinary, static, admire the wall art gallery. This is a fun interactive art museum with exhibits you hit or play or literally crawl through! Space is explored, dimensions are altered and you control the sound and speed. There is a free audio tour line you can call, so bring your cell phone, earbuds would have been nice.

This is a fun and interesting way to get familiar with the core of Denver. If you can ride a bike at all, the Denver Bikalope Bike Tour will be a great tour for you. It is easy to register on-line and the meeting location is a good spot for this outing. The number of participants is limited to 12, but that should be the perfect amount of people for a group. You can bring your own bike and get a discount, or you can rent a bike from them. Even locals would enjoy this as the bike ride is the actual exciting part.

This is a ride in the Glenwood Caverns Adventure Park that has been known to be terrifying (many people will not get on it). It swings you over the cayneon below, meaning that you have nothing underneath you except a long drop. This is the perfect ride for locals that enjoy risk-taking and thrills.

Food trucks, seasonal vegetables, pies, coffee, breads, olive oils, tamales, salsas and Colorado proud wares are the standard at the Cherry Creek Farmers Market. A sense of community is abound whilst visiting. Lots of dogs. Lots of strollers. Lots of confused looking parents burdened down with purchases and children's diaper bags and trinkets and toys while their children dart from kiosk to kiosk. Live music is sprinkled throughout. Locals dressed for summer in cute colorful maxi-dresses and sandals. It is the fabric of the Denver. Go with the idea of spending the hard earned dollar to support local businesses. You'll be glad you did.

This luxurious ski resort is one of the best of its kind in Denver. With a family friendly atmosphere, extreme skiing terrain, and extensive ski lodging this place has got it all. It's also a short drive from the airport so when visiting Denver be sure to give this place a try!

The 40-foot-high bear, created by Lawrence Argent, injects a welcome sense of fun and playfulness into Denver. It's a can't miss photo-opp for locals and tourists. Titled "I See What You Mean", people definitely see this as an iconic symbol of the city itself.

Larimer Square is one of Denver's oldest historic blocks, but now is home to a variety of shops, restaurants, and bars. You'll find one-of-a-kind items here and a vibrant enviornment. The lights attract many people, but it's really the buildings that capture the people's hearts.
