On our final leg of the Colorado portion of our National Parks Road Trip, we visited the wonderful city of Denver. With limited time, we had to decide how to spend our one and a half days in the city. We had to narrow down the things we wanted to do while we were in Denver with the kids. Family trips are different than couples or friends trips, so we had to research and make some decisions about what to do. These are some things to do in Denver with kids, some of which we did and some we will do next time!
Considering that I don’t even drink soda, nor do I eat buffalo wings or bacon (I know, I know…), you would think this would have been a big miss. You would be wrong. Most of the time, if the kids are happy, I am happy too. And they LOVED this place. They have an incredible amount of candy and soda flavors that are unusual and really fun. It’s a kiddie dream come true! It was easy to walk to as we were walking around the city center, so we were able to burn off some of those candy and soda calories.
For my husband, our short list of things to do almost always means visiting a ballpark if the team is in town while we are. We were lucky that the Colorado Rockies were playing, and we were able to get some great tickets to see the game with our friends (the aforementioned excellent rocky mountain oysters at the concession stand. If you know me or have read this blog, obviously I did NOT try these. But the others did…yum?
