A Guide To Enjoying Denver Activities

By Mavis Roach


If you find yourself in the Mile High City with no specific plans, you'll have no problem correcting that situation. Colorado's capital is chock full of interesting things to do. The following is a small sample of Denver activities.

A Denver omelet is the perfect way to start your day. Ham, cheese, onions and peppers inside an egg blanket will fortify you for a day of sunny sightseeing. This city has on average 300 days of sunshine a year.

Stroll on Sixteenth Street - or ride its free bus - to the steps of the Capitol, crowned with a dome sheathed in two hundred ounces of pure gold. Find the marking on the Capitol steps that is exactly one mile above sea level. Next door, you'll find the Colorado History Museum with exhibits about the state's founding and the gold miners who founded it.

If you are a lover of the arts, stop at the Denver Performing Arts Complex, home to ten performance arenas. There is an opera house, a concert hall, a ballroom and seven theatres. There's something for everyone's taste at DPAC.

If you'd rather see sports than a show, check out Denver's eight professional sports teams. Taking in a baseball game at Coors Field is a fan favorite. If you're not a Rockies fan, you might like the Broncos, or the Nuggets, or the Avalanche, or the Rapids, or the Crush or the Outlaws, or the Mammoth.

Any one of the many restaurants at Larimer Square is sure to please even the most discerning palate. After lunch or before dinner, you can shop in the Victorian block's boutiques and galleries. You won't want to miss the Square's stunning sunset views.

After the sun sets, if you're not too weary from the day's adventures, warm up your vocal chords and find your way to the Wild Ivories Dueling Piano Saloon. This huge dueling piano bar may just be the most fun extravaganza in town and customers are part of the show. A nightcap of comedy and sing-a-long merrymaking will have you chuckling and whistling a merry tune all the way back to your hotel.

It is not possible to be bored in the Mile High City. This city has more parks and brews more beer than any other U. S. City. It boasts one of the largest rodeos in the world. You can even witness money being made at the Treasury Department's Mint. As you can imagine, these suggestions do not begin to scratch the surface of the many Denver activities available to visitors.
