Denver's a top spot to visit with kids from cool art experiences to great food halls and museums everyone will love. This itinerary takes you through some of the best spots in the city, leaving you wanting more.
LessDo yourself a favor and book a walking tour with Denver Grafitti Tour. This tour leads you through the RiNo neighborhood and you’ll get a good helping of Denver history as you walk along and see the many murals. The tour ends at Denver Central Market where you definitely need to grab a bite to eat.
You'll love all the food and shopping options at Stanley Marketplace. Check out the playground for some outside time or try out the VR games at VR Social. Don't miss the churros!
Plan to spend at least a few hours at Meow Wolf: Convergence Station. This 4-story immersive art exhibit will have you wondering what’s real and what’s not from the moment you step off the elevators. Wander through a room of mirrors and emerge into a dark land that could be part of a Dr. Seuss story. You can walk through walls, interact with the characters in the different exhibits, and be open to discovering the mysteries that lie within.
The outdoor climbing structure here is unlike any other you've seen before. Good luck getting the kids to leave!
Located in the super trendy Dairy Block, The Maven is right down the street from Coors Field and Union Station. As soon as you walk in and spot the Airstream in the lobby, you’ll know that this is a spot where you’ll want to hang out. The Maven has urban-styled rooms with the bunkroom being a family favorite (hello, personal swing!). Nightly happy hour served from the Airstream and a free shuttle service that will take you and pick you up anywhere within a two-mile radius are a few of the perks.
Right off the lobby of The Maven you’ll find the Denver Milk Market, a grouping of restaurants, bars, and a co-working space. You can walk down from your room and grab a crêpe for the kids and a coffee for yourself without much effort at all. We loved the convenience of the food hall for grabbing food that everyone likes and the casual dining space that works well with kids.
This breakfast spot is everyone's favorite. We recommend the pretzel bun breakfast sandwiches and iced chai.
If you find your way to RiNo, Denver Central Market offers indoor and outdoor seating with lots of different dining options including a fish market (get the fish tacos!), an Italian spot with wood-fired pizzas, and a bakery.
