8 days in Denver Itinerary

Aptly nicknamed the "Mile-High City," Denver sits at an altitude of 1,600 m (5,280 ft) above sea level, located right where the Great Plains give way to the Rocky Mountains.

Bring the kids along to Garden of the Gods and Denver Museum of Nature & Science. Explore the numerous day-trip ideas around Denver: Frisco Escape Room (in Frisco), Colorado Springs (The Broadmoor Soaring Adventure, Cheyenne Mountain Zoo, &more) and Estes Park (Estes Park Guided Tours, Off-Road Tours, &more). There's still lots to do: shop like a local with Denver Botanic Gardens, steep yourself in history at Molly Brown House Museum, learn about wildlife with up-close encounters at Denver Zoo, and examine the collection at Kirkland Museum of Fine & Decorative Art.
