This is a must see while you are in Denver! Great place to take the whole family. They also have some adult night events here which you need to reserve your group online if you don’t want to be there with a bunch of little kids running around. This place will blow your mind! Make sure you have at least 2 or 3 hours to walk through. They have some concerts here too which are super fun!

Union Station is a great spot in the heart of downtown Denver which was just finished in the past few years. Tons of great restaurants and bars in and around Union Station. Catch a direct bus to Boulder for the day which is $8 and leaves every 15 minutes or so (40 minute ride and drops off in downtown Boulder).
