The City Park neighborhood is home to the city’s two popular family-friendly attractions: Denver Zoo and Denver Museum of Nature & Science.  Denver is known for its outdoor activities and the tree-lined City Park is the Mile High's largest outdoor space, with miles of jogging and biking trails -- and the best sunset  over downtown Denver with the Rocky Mountains as a backdrop!
