Tourist attraction

👍👍 Amazing experience! I came here whilst on a road trip from Chicago to Vegas, and we were not disappointed by our time here. We played the Squid Game room as a group of four and, despite a few issues in the wall’s sensitivity, we had such an awesome time. We came fourth out of 58 groups! And the fin...

Denver Local Tours

Tourist attraction

👍👍 Great Hidden Denver Tour - Found out about this tour from the Concierge at the Brown Palace. We had a great time exploring some museums and checking out the seedy tunnels that connected our hotel to an old brothel. I would highly recommend to anyone.

Columbine Memorial

Memorial park

👍👍 It's a beautiful place. The outer ring of reflection is filled with quotes from people directly impacted by the tragedy. The inner ring of remembrance has beautiful descriptions of those who lost their lives at Columbine. As a survivor, I am thankful this place exists. Thank you to all who help main...

Eagle's Eye Shelter

Scenic spot

👍👍 A amazing views from this spot! It used to be a cabin for a family awhile back. They lived there for 40 years! Must have been nice to have those views everyday. It’s a very short hike if you don’t go counter clockwise on the trails. Although I highly recommend doing that because it’s a gorgeous hike...

Martin Luther King Memorial

Monument

👍👍 This memorial was so much more detailed than the one in DC although theirs is taller. You can learn about history just by visiting this memorial. I definitely want to bring more people to see it. When you are facing the front of it, you are supposed to go right to left around it.

Lichen Peak

Hiking area

👍 I frequently hike here. It is convenient to where I live. It is next to Golden, but large enough to give you a nature experience. Today I saw 16 mule deer at the north end on top. I frequently see and hear coyotes. There are many rabbits and a variety of birds. There is a grueling half-mile incline...

Broomfield Veterans Museum

Museum

👍👍 This is a small museum with a ton of well organized information and artifacts from wars Colorado's citizens have been involved with. There is a team of caring and informed people behind these exhibits, and they often have guest speakers who share their stories and experiences. I especially liked th...

Lumonics Light & Sound Gallery

Art gallery

👍 I give 4 stars, not 5, only because no one told me to take shrooms or acid before hand. The gallery itself is phenomenal. The idea of creating art with the material they chose to use, absolutely incredible. The art was by far the most unique show I’ve seen in Denver. The performance?? That, you shou...
