About Denver Attractions & Activities

Where to start in a city that's so jam-packed with things to do? The mountains are only 30 minutes away, so world-class skiing, snowboarding, and hiking are at your fingertips. If you prefer to stay within the city limits, a wealth of museums and parks awaits, as well as a zoo and aquarium. Denver Art Museum and Denver Museum of Nature and Science are renowned for exceptional quality in their fields. Sports fans certainly won't be bored either, because Denver is home to major football, basketball, baseball, and hockey teams. Unique to Denver are Red Rocks Amphitheatre – a great venue for a concert, or simply to explore on foot – and Colorado History Museum, which recounts the city's and state's past through photographs, artifacts, and multi-media displays. -- Kirbie Crowe, 10Best Editor
