Denver Travel Guide

 10 Reviews  Since it was a short trip (and because I'm used to low altitude), we decided to rent a car and just drive to the sights. We drove up to the Alpine Visitor's Center, which is right by the highest point on the road. That took us into the tundra and into snow (we were there in June). I was happy with... 

 5 Reviews  Go at night! The only reason I say this is because the crowds have died down and you can really experience the exhibits. My favorite part is when you can "pet" the stingrays. They allow you to buy little fish that you feed them and they are so friendly, they'll come right up and eat them out of your... 

 9 Reviews  Even though I'm from Wisconsin, I still had to do the Coors tour. Plus Golden was a nice town to spend some time in. First you line up outside to get a bus (so prepare to wait in the sun) then a short but interesting tour of Golden itself. I liked the tour, and the tasting area was a nice ending.... 

 13 Reviews  The Denver zoo is a good place to visit if you are in need of a kid friendly experience. it is well kept, the animals for the most case have lots of room and clean. There are many types of animals and your children will enjoy how close up they can get to the animals. An exceptionally made exhibit is... 

 12 Reviews  I went to the Denver Botanic gardens a few weeks ago. The gardens are very nice. Lots of beautiful flowers and plants to see a few okay places to eat. The best places to see were the Asian garden with the black rock path and the tropical forest area. Unfortunatly they were working on a lot of... 

 9 Reviews  Coming from Boston, we're used to a cramped old ballpark (we love going to Fenway, but even we are starting to wonder if it is suited to the 21st century) and impossible-to-get tickets. Boy was Coors Field a change from that! It is a gorgeous modern stadium, open, accessible and very... 

 6 Reviews  It has 70 acres of grounds that encompasses an amusement and water park. It is located right near the downtown area, even though you would have to drive here. They have family rides, thrill rides and water attractions. Mary Elitch started the park on the outskirts of Denver old town 100 years ago.... 

 3 Reviews  Denver has one of two US mint sites that are open for public tours. The tour requires advance reservations although a limited first come, first serve slots may be available. Cameras are not allowed inside. 

 6 Reviews  As we are leaving I hear, "I don't know why people dress up to come here...or come here at all." That pretty much sums it up. We were "trapped" by the ads in the tourist magazines that claimed it was Denver's oldest restaurant, and the wild game served was certainly different. We called ahead and... 

 4 Reviews  Denver's Chop House is an unusual combination: from one perspective, it's a steakhouse-style spot, with an excellent menu leaning toward the beef, but from the other, it's a brewpub, just with somewhat higher-priced entrées. Walking in, with the restaurant channeling 1940's cool (the lights are... 

 4 Reviews  Here's the lowdown: The food here is generic at best. The service is atrocious. We ordered a bottle of wine and asked if we could, as is tradition, have a sample of two wines before choosing. The waitress said, "Sure," with a smile. Then the manager, looking a little like a haggard cop, came to our... 

 2 Reviews  Amazing food served family style. Best if you go with four, but two is still okay. Order from a big board. Ask the waiter for wine recommendation. Its always really good. They have a great Italian selection. Very lively atmosphere, but can be quiet and romantic depending on where you are sitting.... 

 2 Reviews  El Taco De Mexico: Very authentic Mexican food! The the menu was pretty much all in Spanish. The people were nice and friendly. The place is hard to miss - it is BRIGHT YELLOW. You can eat at the counter or booth or do take out. Very inexpensive. Few local Mexican restaurants match the authenticity... 

 2 Reviews  The most famous statue in Denver is the Bronco Buster, which is a bronze statue at the Denver Civic Center. In the mid-1910s, at the request of Major Robert Speer two large bronze statues (the Bronc Buster and the companion statue On the War Trail) were given to the city by J. K. Mullen an early... 

 1 Review  Red Rocks Amphitheatres: It is a really beautiful place. You can usually get in, when there is no concert and just walk around. It is a fun place to go to a concert; they have a wide variety of concerts there. Morrison, CO 80465 (303) 830-8497 

 1 Review  see the Denver Zoo. There are so many cute animals and it doesn't cost that much, but the food stands are costly, so I would pack a lunch. Plus, there are so many shopping malls. all the parades. There is a parade for every holiday not to menchin parades for all the smaller cities. Like, Lakewood on...
