Things To Do
DENVER BOTANIC GARDENS

DOWNTOWN DENVER RINK AT SKYLINE PARK
Outside skating rink in the middle of downtown. Skate rentals are $6-$8, or bring your own pair and skate for free. Check out the website calendar for special events such as DJ night, lessons, and entertainment.
16th Street Mall
Whether you're looking for a good place to eat, want to do some shopping, or just down to people watch, it's always a good time to take a stroll down 16th street mall.
Red Rocks Colorado
Best known for its unique acoustics and unforgettable concerts, Red Rocks amphitheater is also free to the public when there aren't shows playing. It's worth a visit if you've never seen the fault line that was made into a concert hot spot. There are several hiking trails, and a small museum. And it's always fun to test your fitness by trying to run up all the steps!
Beau Jo's Idaho Springs
The infamous Beau Jos will make you realize that honey and pizza are a match made in heaven.
Ski Slopes
If you have a lot of extra time out in Colorado, there are plenty of places to try out your ski legs. There is Vail, Winter Park, Loveland, Keystone, Copper Mountain, and so many more resorts. Getting out there can be tricky, but it's worth it if you have the time and want to make a long vacation out of your trip!
