Cool Places (Denver)
I really like the Denver Zoo and I think they've really been stepping up their conservation efforts! They've been in the process of a big remodel with lots of new, gorgeous areas for the animals.
Denver Zoo Conservation Alliance | Saving Wildlife Together
Such a cool museum in a really cool building! They have some great constant exhibits as well as traveling ones. If you can handle the crowds, you can go on a free day!
Denver Art Museum
Truly a great museum. They've recently renovated some areas and always have traveling exhibits! I always find new things to look at and explore whenever I go. If you can handle the crowds, you can go on a free day!
Denver Museum of Nature and Science
I love this place. I've been seeing shows there for so many years! They have great traveling shows as well as local productions. It is truly THE theater hub of Colorado!!
Denver Center for the Performing Arts
Cool Places (not Denver)
Ya it is a little sus. BUT IT'S AWESOME!!! Finally, a theme park untouched by corporations. I love the Cyclone and Wild Chipmunk.
Lakeside Amusement Park
Awesome hot springs by the Sand Dunes in the San Luis Valley! If you visit you have to get the fried mac and cheese bites. They have an amazing greenhouse section only for adults (21+) with some really hot and beautiful pools, and a huge outdoor pool...
Hot Springs - Sand Dunes Rec
A refurbished church turned art center in Monte Vista in the San Luis Valley! They have lots of free events or paid classes. Highly recomend supporting if you're in the area!
Arts and Craft Events -The Church Project
The best movie theater in Colorado (in my opinion)! They have AMAZING reclinable seats that are so comfortable, and it's so cool looking!
AMC Arapahoe Crossing 16 in Aurora, CO
Restaurants/Shopping
THIS IS THE BEST RESTAURANT!! Staff is so kind. And the Pad Thai is AMAZING!!! Better than literally anywhere else. No fishy taste and it is phenomenally orange. I get mine mild with tofu and no bean sprouts :3
Thai Flavor LLC
Park Meadows is a really fun mall! There is an indoor and outdoor area. It's very beautiful and has some really cool stores!
Park Meadows - Shopping Mall in Lone Tree, CO
This mall is HUGE!! It takes me hours to make a full loop. They have some really fun and unique stores (like the LEGO store!). There's also a great food court, and a Target you can access from the mall!
Colorado Mills® - A Shopping Center In Lakewood, CO - Simon
This is more than a store, it's a whole experience. They have an indoor pond with koi, a HUGE tropical fish section, adoptable puppies, and so much more!! I had a fun time just walking around.
Pet Paradise - Pet Supply, Pet Store, Puppies, Grooming
This is a super nice outdoor mall! I personally highly recomend going to Buff City Soap. There are all kinds of shops here!
Southlands | Shopping, Dining & Entertainment | Aurora, CO
A very cool shopping center! Lots of these are outlet stores that sell products at a discount. I recommend visiting Buff City Soap while you're here!
