The Colorado Crush is the Denver representative of the Arena Football League. But, that tells you almost nothing about the experience you will have should attend a game. The football game itself is about half the fun. You could hate football and still have a great time. Really. The rules of Arena fo…

Mt. Evans is a state park and the Highest Paved Road in North America. There is a park fee at the entrance and I believe it is managed by the integrity rule since no one was manning the gate. I attempted use the card for voucher booth and was not very successful. As with the usual friendly nature…

After a short movie and a tour (about 30 min total) they fill your gut with loads of candy... I actually could not eat all the samples they had available in the candy shop. They also have reject candies on sale for cheap (though not many because the factory has relatively no waste). Great place t…

What separates one MLB baseball game from another is about 75% the venue they play in. The Colorado Rockies call Coors Field home. Coors Field was built in 1995 and is a baseball only stadium. This allows the Rockies to do things completely there own way, without interference or input from another p…

We really enjoyed this zoo. It is supposed to be the 4th most popular in the country. There were plenty of animals, and almost all of them were easily visible (and not off in hiding or being fed). We really enjoyed the monkeys, African preditor ridge, and the meerkats (they are so cute). The posted …

Cherry Creek's shopping area is made up of an upscale mall with some high end stores, but still your typical mall. Cherry Creek North is 16-block shopping/dining area, similar to a downtown area. This unique area is a good artsy area with plenty of art galleries, dining, and general shopping. Worth …

We went to see the Rockies play the Giants in Coors Stadium. We were in the nosebleed section, but not quite the mile-high seats. The fans were pretty into it - not quite like those in Japan when we saw Tokyo play Yokohama, but pretty good for the US. They were especially negative whenever Barry B…

According to the Denver visitor guide, LoDo has the largest concentration of Victorian and turn-of-the-century buildings in the nation. It is definitely worth a walk around and browsing in all the little stores, art galleries, etc. We ate at they Wynkoop brewery, which was very good. Coor's field, h…

The 16th St. Mall is a section of downtown Denver where the street is closed to cars. Many of the building are interesting, but for the most part it is filled with generic stores (Ross, CVS Pharmacy, Barnes & Noble, your typical generic tourist store filled with Denver t-shirts and shot glasses). T…

The Downtown Aquarium is pretty artsy and fancy looking, but quite frankly way overpriced for the experience. Adult tickets were $14, children were $8, plus parking for $6. It is clear they tried to make the restaurant a hip and cool place, which I think affects the atmosphere of the aquarium. Music…
