Yoga in the mornings, movies in the summer, huge concerts most days of the week. Some folks go to Red Rocks for the excellent hiking and amazing views, others head out towards evening to catch the art & cultural attractions. It's also pretty close, only about 30 minutes west in the foothills. NOTE: You can Uber/Lyft out there but it can be hard to get back into the city at night. Plan ahead or opt to carpool back.

There are farm animals, gold-panning, and guided tours around the property of Denver's oldest standing structure. Kids would love this, and perhaps history aficionados.
