Denver is one part cosmopolitan sophistication and one part outdoor oasis with a diverse collection of attractions and activities ideal for long weekend family getaways. Its main draw is the magnificent Rocky Mountains in its backyard.

This allows several tour companies to offer all-day trips departing from Denver and exploring the natural attractions of Rocky Mountain National Park.

The Denver Zoo, Botanic Gardens, Museum of Nature and Science, and Elitch Gardens Theme Park are attractions that provide a little something for everyone.

Denver also has a vibrant culture and arts scene, including world-class museums and funky art districts, perfect for families with older children.
