Fun & Food
Red Rocks Park & Amphitheatre
This is a must see! Red Rocks offers easy hiking, yoga classes, a museum of musical greats, and insane views. Rock nerds (and non-nerds!) will have their minds blown! Try to visit earlier in the day - sometimes parts of the venue close in the afternoon to prepare for an event.
Union Station
This building is something to behold. It boasts gorgeous architecture and design along with an ice cream shop, several restaurants, bakeries and flower stands. If you want to stay in the city but still see the sights - check out Union Station.
Denver Museum of Nature & Science
SCIENCE, it's cool- and real! Get ready to nerd out, hard.
Denver Art Museum
If you drive around Capitol Hill, this building is impossible to miss! Modeled after the peaks of the Rockies and the rock crystals found on the front range, the architecture of this building is just one of many reasons why the Denver Art Museum is known worldwide.
Denver Botanic Gardens
Want to meander around a park surrounded by beauty and nature, while still being in the city? The Denver Botanic Gardens is an easy choice!
Garden of the Gods Visitor & Nature Center
The pictures speak for themselves. Head down to Colorado Springs for the day if you're in need of a new facebook profile picture.
Georgetown Loop Railroad
The Georgetown Loop Railroad is 45 miles from Denver and is stunning! It's a great activity for kids (or adults who dig trains and views). If you're looking for that old-timey Colorado feel, you'd love this! It's nearby to the towns of Idaho Springs, Silverplume, and Georgetown - all smaller, quaint towns that are full of character and buried treasures (think; antique shops, small biz, bakeries, breweries, museums...)
Chautauqua Park
Head to Boulder for the day and visit the Flat Irons! There are several hiking trails at Chautauqua for all experience levels. There is also a playground and picnic area. After hiking at Chautauqua, check out Pearl Street for shopping and food!
Pearl Street Mall
You're in John and Meg's neighborhood! Some of their favorite spots: Jax, Leaf (vegan/veg), Chimera, Boxcar Coffee, and just popping in an out of the small businesses along this pedestrian mall. You'll find unique shops that are very "Boulder," along with street performers and art shows. There's always something happening on Pearl Street.
City O' City
DELICIOUS VEGAN FOOD! Sister restaurant to Watercourse (also incredible), City O' City is one of Meg's favorites. The seitan wings are ridiculous.
Uchi Denver
Beautiful interior, better food. This is one of Meg and John's date night spots. Specializing in modern, deconstructed sushi - Uchi is delicious and unique.
Denver Biscuit Company
Breakfast, comfort food. Their biscuits are ****ing amazing.
Rosenberg's Bagels & Delicatessen
The only bagels worth eating in Colorado. Growing up in NY, Meg is a self-admitted bagel snob and Rosenberg bagels are amazing. Our personal favorite bagel: Everything with hatch green chili cream cheese with egg and cheese.
Denver Milk Market
A casual, cafeteria-style lunch spot with a rotating door of venders. Super relaxed environment with high quality eats. If you're out enjoying downtown Denver, this is just a couple blocks from Union Station.
