For us to visit a zoo it needs to have a strong conservation program that you don’t have to try to discover, but is blatantly visible OR the zoo needs to be a refuge for rescued animals with high standards for taking care of them. We only recently have started visiting zoos with the kids and we’re very careful about which ones we visit. You haven’t seen a crystal until you’ve seen some of the huge gems in the collection here. We’ve been to the Smithsonian in Washington DC and the Museum of Natural History in New York City and the collection here in Denver surpassed them both.Īlso to check out at the Denver Museum of Nature & Science is the geology and rare crystals. Who doesn’t want to learn about the stars and play astronaut for a day? And the collection of dinosaur skeletons is impressive. The two biggest hits with our kids, remember we’re talking about Denver with kids, were the space exploration and dinosaur fossil exhibits. Once inside, you’ll discover some incredible exhibits. You be the judge though and if there’s foul weather in the afternoon forecast swap up the day’s plan. The reason we say to start inside at the Denver Museum of Nature & Science is because depending on the time of year, you might need to let the day get nicer.

KID FRIENDLY THINGS TO DO IN DENVER FULL
Home to the Denver Zoo, Denver Museum of Nature & Science and more, it’s a full day of fun. Day 1: City Park and all its wondersĮvery great city has a great park and Denver’s City Park is no exception. Tip : we were booked into the Bluebell Room which had plenty of space for our family of four, including a private sun room/living area, ideal for when the kids go to bed and the dads want to stay up. Book the Capitol Hill Mansion Bed & Breakfast here! A very well maintained historic home in the Capitol Hill neighborhood, it’s just a few blocks from the capitol building and the Golden Triangle Cultural District. With guest rooms or varying sizes and layouts, it’s got lots of character and charm.
Our most recent visit to Denver with kids brought us to the Capitol Hill Mansion Bed and Breakfast. It’s also got a shockingly good hotel restaurant (if you aren’t down for exploring Denver’s awesome food scene), so for families it’s an easy option. The Inverness Hotel, part of the Hilton Family of Hotels, is a very nice property located just outside Denver proper, but it’s close enough to be convenient for nearly all of our recommended activities. There are also MANY AirBNBs and short term rentals all around the downtown area, so you’ll have lots of choices. We’ve stayed a few times and have some solid recommendations. Denver isn’t short on nice hotels or budget friendly options.
Before you head to Denver, you need to figure out where you’re going to stay.
