Things To Do
Denver Botanic Gardens
Located in the charming Cheesman Park neighborhood, the Botanic Gardens are a peaceful oasis filled with curated gardens, ponds, sculptures, and seasonal blooms. It’s romantic, relaxing, and a perfect spot for a quiet morning or afternoon. It also holds a special place in our hearts—Sppencer proposed here! Whether you're strolling through the rose garden or admiring the tropical greenhouse, it's a beautiful place to slow down and enjoy nature.
Red Rocks Park and Amphitheatre
Just outside the city, Red Rocks is a must-see natural wonder where giant red sandstone formations frame a breathtaking amphitheater. Even if there’s no concert during your visit, it’s worth a stop for hiking trails, stunning photo ops, and panoramic views of Denver and the Rockies. It’s one of Colorado’s most iconic landmarks—perfect for a scenic outing or a quick escape into nature.
Lower Highland
LoHi (Lower Highlands) is one of Denver’s trendiest neighborhoods, packed with great bars, restaurants, and rooftop patios. Grab a cocktail at Lady Jane, sip something bold at the speakeasy-style Devil’s Drink, or enjoy city views from Ale House. For dinner, try Bar Dough for upscale Italian, Linger for global small plates, or Alma Fonda Fina for elevated Mexican fare. It’s the perfect area for a fun night out just minutes from downtown.
Denver Zoo
Located in City Park, the Denver Zoo is a fun and family-friendly attraction home to over 3,000 animals from around the world. You can wander through beautifully designed habitats, see elephants, lions, penguins, and more—and even catch a live animal demonstration if you time it right. The grounds are walkable and well-shaded, making it a great option for guests of all ages. Whether you're visiting with kids or just love animals, the zoo is a delightful way to spend a few hours outdoors.
