Nights and weekends spent at home are officially overrated. Why would you spend your time on the couch when there’s so much to experience right at your fingertips? There are so many downtown Denver activities that are yet to be discovered, whether you’re new in town or you’ve explored the city too many times to count. Just when you think you’ve seen it all, the Mile High City drops something in your lap that pushes you out of your comfort zone and makes you learn something new about yourself and the city. So what’re you waiting for? Here are some of the best places to start on your expedition through the city.
Larimer Square
Denver is rich in historical landmarks, and they’re not all simple statues and old buildings. Larimer Square is where the Mile High City was born, and it’s described as its oldest and most historic portion of the city. Local boutiques and trendy restaurants have made their home in the square and make for an enjoyable day out with both family and friends. At night, canopy lights hang over the street to provide a wondrous, enchanting atmosphere, and the energetic bar and club scene offer a fun-filled evening on the town with a vintage vibe only Denver can give.
Denver Aquarium
The beauty of marine life is always something people are amazed by, and the best place to experience the underwater kingdom is the Denver Aquarium. Featuring floor-to-ceiling viewing and presentations displaying aquatic animals and even advertising a mermaid show, the aquarium is a perfect downtown Denver activity for all ages. There’s even an exhibit where you can experience five species of sharks up close and personal in an underwater shark cage! You’ll never run out of excitement or adventures to discover at the Denver Aquarium. Tickets and passes are available both online and on-site.
Escape Rooms
Denver has become the home of a myriad of escape rooms, each with a unique premise and design. Facilities across the town have created whimsical rooms, or creepy ones, or themes that are just straight up weird, and being able to experience all of them is incredible.
