Denver, Colorado, is an amazing spot to land if you are looking for family fun. Enjoy the Denver Zoo and Denver Aquarium, or just wander through the majestic Red Rocks Park and Amphitheatre. Stop to smell the flowers at Denver Botanic Gardens and visit Rocky Mountain National Park for some brilliant views. We also enjoyed the Denver Museum of Nature and Science.

Read through our family travel guide for the best things to do in Denver with kids. There's nothing like an ice cream cone after a day of adventure, so check out Little Man Ice Cream, which has traditional and out-of-the-box homemade ice cream, like the Fluffernutter and Vegan Chocolate Salted Oreo. But first check in at Casa Bonita, it's part restaurant and part theme park!
