Cool Things To Do In Denver

 

You, like everyone else, have probably been cooped up inside for a while. But cabin fever is a real thing and can creep up on you unexpectedly. Which is exactly why getting out and about is a good idea. Don’t worry though, our list of things to see and do are social distancing approved. So you can get out there and have some fun, completely guilt free.

Here is a list of some cool things you can do in Denver right now.

Visit Indian Hot Springs

Be honest, just because you’re getting out, it doesn’t necessarily mean you’re interested in exerting yourself, right? Right. We’ve got you covered with the Idaho Hot Springs, which are exactly as wonderful as they sound. Picture kicking back in natural hot springs, and just soaking in the wonderful atmosphere.

Best of all the springs are only a 30-minute drive outside of town, and can be booked for hour long sessions at a rather reasonable price. We’ll share an additional little secret; the Tommyknocker Brewery is on the way, and nothing compliments a hot spring soak like a luxury beer.

Historical Bars

Speaking of luxury beer, you probably already knew that there are 2 locations in Denver that not only offer a luxurious selection but are also steeped in rich history. At The Oxford Hotel you will find the Cruise Room, which, as the name suggests, features a truly lovely nautical theme.

Your second option is the Brown Palace and its famous Ship Tavern, which also happens to feature a unique marine theme. Though in this case the venue is littered with a stunning range of intricate model ships.

Both places are perfect to kick back in, and surf some real money games on your phone while you sip a beverage. 

Fine Food At A The Oldest Restaurant

Maybe you’d like a meal in the oldest restaurant in the entire state? The Buckhorn Exchange has been in business since 1893, which almost defies belief. But, it’s true, and the charming venue has managed to amass a collection of 575 taxidermy animals over the years.

Wondering what’s on the menu? Why, just some of the most beloved oysters in the area. Try them breaded with a horseradish dip. You won’t regret it.

Museum Of Contemporary Art

There are other, more well-known museums in Denver, but overlooking the Museum of Contemporary Art is all the more charming for being lesser known. The exhibits are extremely interesting and regularly updated, with artwork no just from Colorado, but across the entire globe.

A little secret here you might be interested in; Colorado residents get in for next to nothing.

Explore The Streets

No, we don’t mean just wondering around the streets at random. It turns out that River North Arts District and the Santa Fe Arts District have become a veritable wonderland of incredible street art. You can simply ride a bike or wander around either neighbourhood and be simply blown away by the stunning artwork on every corner. It won’t cost you a cent.
