The 10 Coolest Things To See And Do In Denver Colorado

Most tourists envision cowboy hats and craft beer when they think of Denver, and while neither is in short supply there, is a lot more to the Mile High City. We list our our 10 favorite things to see and do when you’re in this Colorado city.

Coors Field

A trip to Denver isn’t complete without seeing a Rockies Game at Coors Field, and even folks who don’t like baseball will have a good time here. Blue Moon Brewing Co. is set up inside the stadium, as is the Helton Burger shack. Get to the game early and head up to the Rooftop, a new feature on the upper right field deck that houses premium bars and places to eat, and offers guests a panoramic view of downtown Denver.

1. Clyfford Still Museum

Museum

Clyfford Still is considered one of the most important painters of the 20th century, and this museum does a good job of proving why. Still wrote into his will that his whole estate be given to an American city willing to build a museum dedicated solely to his work, and in 2004, Denver decided to be that city. Completed in 2011, the museum house approximately 3,125 seminal works by Still.

2. Red Rocks Park and Amphitheater

Concert Hall, Music Venue, Park, Theater

Red Rocks Park and Amphitheater is a drive outside of Denver, but while you are in the Mile High City, it is worth taking the trip. The amphitheater is quite literally carved out of the Red Rocks, and at night the stars are almost enough of a light show to accompany that the historic bands who’ve played there. Even if you can’t see a concert, you should have lunch at the Ship Rock Grill or simply explore the amphitheater, which is open to the public as long as a concert isn’t going on.
