Welcome to the first day of June, everyone! While we love indoor activities (we’re a little biased), we’ll showcase some great outdoor activities for you while you’re adventuring across Denver and searching for things to do. Take a look at our personal top five Denver hot spots!
Relax at Sloan’s Lake
Sloan’s Lake is a perfectly peaceful place to relax. The lake is perfectly sized, offering a refreshing hour-long walk and a view of rolling water. When you’ve been searching for things to do all day, Sloan’s is a great place to take it easy! Search for events happening in the area; the annual Dragon Boat races are hosted here, and it’s a great opportunity to experience the community!
Experience the Circle at McGregor Square
You can even find great outdoor things to do downtown! McGregor Square is located close to Denver’s Coors Field, and is situated around a number of tall buildings; but the square is uncovered, and is always full of interesting fairs, markets, and community activities. They keep tabs on their events here; they’re hosting outdoor movies and events for Pride Month!
More than Musical Things to do at Red Rocks
Denver’s most exciting outdoor venue is no stranger to these blog posts; there’s always a great number of artists playing there! But did you know that the Rocks also host a number of hiking trails, scenic spots, and other things to do? Check out the listing on AllTrails to see where you could go; Red Rocks is one of the most beautiful spots in the state!
Enjoy Urban Nature at Confluence Park
This one is a little-known area. Confluence Park is hidden on the outskirts of Downtown and nestled along the river. The river is home to a number of biking and walking trails, among other things to do, but the Park also offers kayaking, tubing, and fishing! If you’d like more details about its location, check out the PDF here.
Things to do and see at RiNo Art District
Finally, for those of you who’d prefer a crawl over a hike, the RiNo Art District has everything you’d require. The area is surrounded by great restaurants, as well as bars. A walk around the area is always interesting, as there’s always interesting street art to view along every corner!
And finally, once you’ve had your fill of the outdoors, there’s always EscapeWorks Denver… Did we mention we have air conditioning? It’s always nice and cool inside Blackbeard’s Brig!
My coworkers and I decided to do some team building while we were in Denver for a conference. They were able to accommodate our rather large group with the pirate-themed room, and our Game Master Abby was fantastic. We escaped with time to spare, and everyone had a fantastic time—several were new to escape rooms altogether, and enjoyed it so much they went back to do another one later in the week!

We've done quite a few escape rooms and this one was well put together. The decorating effort in Vampire Slayer was quite good, and Brian was doing a fantastic job coordinating a few full rooms and a constantly buzzing door of new groups rapidly coming in. The clues are automatically given instead of asked for, but they didn't spoon feed them too us. It was only when we were clearly missing the mark. All components of the room worked and were fairly challenging but not impossible to solve. We also really appreciate that this one allows groups with strangers! It's perfect for couples that don't want to try it alone but can't get a group together. Thanks to Brian and Cole we had a great experience!

Absolutely loved! The theme was so cool (pirate themed) and the puzzles were so fun! I had some friends in town so there were 6/7 of us and there was enough for us to divine and conquer! Abby our host was so sweet and super helpful, will be back again!

Wyatt was an awesome game master. He gave us a fair chance at solving all the clues without giving us too many hints to spoil it. He was very kind and courteous. The entire staff was great and the room was super challenging and fun.

Our game master Celeste was amazing! She monitored our progress and made sure we didn't abandon clues when we were on the right path, but gave us plenty of space to explore and ponder. The room itself was well constructed with plenty of objects to fiddle with that meant nothing and plenty of fixed items for vibes. The puzzles were challenging without being overwhelming.

I've tried 3 of the 5 rooms, and so far they've all been fantastic! The puzzles are challenging but not unsolvable. Even the casino heist, which gave us the most trouble, was so fun and had some puzzles i hadn't seen in other escape rooms. I've had Wyatt as a game master twice and Austen once, and both did a fabulous job running the game!

Had a great time today, we did the speakeasy, it was very fun and the puzzles weren’t neither too difficult nor too easy which made the experience a lot better. Our game master Brian was great and helped us on the way whenever we got too carried away. Overall a great experience and would come back!
