Denver is one of the American metropolises that have been thriving ever since the Old West era, and it now offers something for travelers of all ages. If you ever find yourself in the capital of Colorado with your entire family, here are three spots that you shouldn’t miss for the world.
Denver Zoo
Zoos are one of the most popular family attractions and it goes without saying that Denver has one in store. It’s the first zoo in the U.S. to replace cages with naturalistic zoo enclosures and it’s well-known for being named the greenest zoo in the country back in 2012.
Elitch Gardens
Don’t let the name of this popular kid-friendly attraction trick you since it’s not actually a garden, but an amusement park with many fun rides on its grounds. In addition to thrill rides and rollercoasters, you can also find a water park on its premises, featuring water slides, a water playground, a lazy river, and much more.
Downtown Aquarium
Located just across the street from Elitch Gardens, Downtown Aquarium is another must-see kid-friendly attraction in Denver. In addition to the state-of-the-art aquarium with over 500 species, you can also find a restaurant and lounge on its premises.
