We are trying to figure out where my husband should get stationed next and Denver is one of our choices. I am just trying to see what the area is like and whats fun to do there. We also have a two year old so we can't do very extreme things like skiing and snowboarding, but we do enjoy the outdoors. Is there a zoo or something like that, too?
The zoo – as already mentioned – then there is also the Six Flags theme park, PLENTY of hiking and camping and there are even hiking trails throughout the city, the botanical gardens (and like right now in December there is a light show – the Blossom of Lights which is really neat), LOTS of parks, then of course movies and that sort of thing. Then there are the museums – both the science, aerospace, and kids museums as well as the aquarium. The civic centers are really good here too – which offer indoor swimming, basketball, game rooms, and such. There are a lot of kid friendly places as well for eating and shopping and such. In Boulder for example in the little strip mall shopping sort of thing, there is a small playground for smaller kids so you can bring them shopping then have a break. I have been in Denver 2 months – we have a 7 yo son we home school and it is great. Even with the snow we are loving it.

You can go to the famous Denver Zoo. You can go to the famous Interactive Science Museum – not sure what its called. You could eat at the famous Spaghetti Factory.

The denver zoo is a nice place to start out. There is also the Denver aquarium and the Children's meusum and I think every child, even a 2 year old child would enjoy that meuseum. There are a lot of malls there. The cherry creek, park meadows, and the sixteenth street mall are always crowded. There is also a theme park, elitches. Well, I hope that you really enjoy denver.
