Things To Do
Stranahan's Colorado Whiskey
Awesome local whiskey distillery, $20 tour that includes drinks and a discount on bottles.
Children's Museum of Denver at Marsico Campus
Climb over Boulders, Balance on a Kayak and Leap through a Waterfall. Great for children ages 2 - 12.
Butterfly Pavilion
Each exhibit features a unique touch experience, live animals, interpretation by our talented exhibit staff and interactive technology that explores science and conservation topics.
Denver Botanic Gardens
The Denver Botanic Gardens' 24 acres feature a whopping 50 gardens for visitors to explore. This expansive facility in downtown Denver's Cheesman Park treats travelers to a variety of different environments, from a traditional Japanese garden (complete with bonsai trees) to the South African Plaza blooming with exotic plants like asparagus fern and torch lilies. They also have an incredible children area, and an art exhibit as well.
Third Culture Bakery Denver
Incredible mochi donuts. The company started in Berkeley and now a weekend staple here in Denver!
Cart Driver Lo-Hi
Best wood-fired pizza in all of Denver.
Our Mutual Friend Brewing
Our Mutual Friend is right in the heart of RiNo (arts district), they offer great sour beers and a mix of other local brews.
The Denver Central Market
The Denver Central Market should be high on any visitor’s bucket list, it's a food hall with lots of different options including a bakery, deli, pizzeria, and bar.
The Source Hotel
Another great food hall - pizza, sushi, bbq, and medeterrian. Also has some small retail shops.
Denver Milk Market
A city block with food, shops, and art installations - right in the heart of downtown. Check out their Drag Bingo Brunch every Sunday!
Isak Heartstone
For those with young children (or the young at heart) who are coming a few days ahead or after the event, we suggest you head up to Breckenridge -- about a 1.5-hour drive to check out the Breckenridge Trolls. They are 15-foot wooden sculptures nestled among an alpine trail. There is parking just at the trail head and lots of great restaurants and shops about 10 minutes away in the heart of downtown Breckenridge. You may also catch sight of the golden Aspens as their color changes for winter!
