Dairy Block
The Dairy Block/Milk Market have lots of restaurants, bars and shops! Seating in the alleyway with string lights hanging above is super charming!
Denver Union Station
If you’re taking the train to and from the airport, we recommend checking out Union station. There are two bars - Terminal Bar on the main level and a lounge upstairs called Copper Lounge (fancy cocktails). They also have a few small shops and restaurants as well.
Hiking
There are really amazing hikes in Colorado. We recommend using the All Trails app and you can filter by length, elevation gain, difficulty, attractions etc. For Rocky Mountain National Park - you’ll need a timed entry reservation (about 1.5hours from Denver) For closer drives check out trails in Boulder, Evergreen, Morrison and Golden.
Red Rocks Park and Amphitheatre
Open to the public during the day this is an amazing place to visit - even if you can't catch a concert. This requires a car to get there but is a Colorado must-see! There are also hikes as well!
Meow Wolf Denver | Convergence Station
Meow Wolf is quite the trip. An immersive art experience, this is a truly impressive display that will make you feel like you are in a different time and universe. You can get lost here for hours. It’s really like nothing else you’ll do. Tickets are required.
