Denver Activities: Something For Everyone

By Mavis Roach


If you find yourself in the Mile High City with no specific plans, you'll have no problem correcting that situation. Colorado's capital is chock full of interesting things to do. The following is a small sample of Denver activities.

Eggs, onions, cheese, peppers and ham make up the city's signature breakfast, the Denver omelet, a hearty start to any day. After breakfast, apply sunscreen before your foray into one of America's sunniest cities. This city basks in sunshine 300 days a year.

A stroll down the pedestrian mall on Sixteenth Street leads you right to the Capitol with its golden dome and thirteenth step, which is exactly one mile above sea level. It sits next to the Colorado History Museum, a great place to learn how the state was formed and about the gold miners who helped to form it.

If you are a lover of the arts, stop at the Denver Performing Arts Complex, home to ten performance arenas. There is an opera house, a concert hall, a ballroom and seven theatres. There's something for everyone's taste at DPAC.

If you'd rather see sports than a show, check out Denver's eight professional sports teams. Taking in a baseball game at Coors Field is a fan favorite. If you're not a Rockies fan, you might like the Broncos, or the Nuggets, or the Avalanche, or the Rapids, or the Crush or the Outlaws, or the Mammoth.

For dinner, head to Larimer Square to find cafes and restaurants scattered amongst boutiques, bars and art galleries. This area has a Victorian look with a distinctly modern feel. It also has some of the best sunset views in the downtown area.

The fun in this town doesn't stop after dark. In fact, it just gets better. Practice your arpeggios and then visit the Wild Ivories Dueling Piano Saloon. This dueling piano bar encourages audience participation. The improvisational music and comedy show will have you laughing into the wee hours of the Mile High morning.

The Mile High City is anything but boring. Anyone who has attended its rodeo will put money on that. That money may have been minted at the Denver Mint, which is open to visitors for tours. Bank on the fact that there is almost no end to the number of Denver activities waiting for you to enjoy. Read more about: denver activities
