What shall our family (mom, dad, two daughters ages 12 and 15) do in the Mile High city? We don't expect to be there all that long -- about a day and a half.
DH is a coin collector (yawn), so we definitely want to visit the Mint. Other possibilities are the Denver Art Museum (youngest daughter is VERY into art museums), the Colorado History Museum, and the Byers-Evans House. These things seem to be close enough to walk between -- true?
At this point in our trip, we'll have been doing lots of hiking and museums for days upon days, so we're thinking of ending our day at the big water park. We'll probably go late in the day (because they have discounted evening tickets after 4:30), and it'll be a nice change-of-pace for our water-bug daughters.
If the Colorado Rockies are playing in town, my husband would love to go see them.
I don't think all of that'll fit -- suggestions? Other activities?
We'd like to find a hotel in the area between the Mint and Coors Field. Does anything there stand out from the rest? We saw a Residence Inn in that area, and we tend to like them because of the extra space and the breakfast . . . but this one's expensive, so we're not quite sold on it yet! Any thoughts?
What about restaurants in this general area?
