Hotel & Family activities

Submitted by cattlecall on Wed, 2009-06-03 11:16

Just got the green light to attend! Can anyone recommend a good hotel to stay at - or maybe a district in which we should focus our hotel search?

My family will be joining me; we're hoping to take a day trip into the mountains on Friday, and my wife plans to take the kids (5, 3, and 5-months) to museums/destinations around Denver. Also, any suggestions on places to take the kids in Denver are much appreciated.

Aquarium

I regularly take my kiddo and her friends to the Downtown Aquarium. It isn't huge, but it is quite well done and it has a rather nice restaurant on premises.

+1 on the Zoo and on the Museum of Nature and Science.

Elitch Gardens is Ok. I go once a year with my family.

You might want to look into a ball game at Coors Field. It is a nice ballpark and the tickets are very reasonable especially if you buy in the "Rock Pile".

The Children's Museum is ok. We've been there when they have had a craft with milk cartons and the cartons hadn't been cleaned right - talk about a stink.

Thanks

We'll add the Aquarium to the list, thanks (I almost wrote 'acquiarium' - too much Drupal on my mind... ).

Looked into a Rockies game earlier, they'll be @Oakland and @LA.

Thanks for the warning about the Children's Museum, we'll pay attention their daily activities list.

Six Flags/Elich Gardens

I just checked Goggle Maps and it looks like the venue is very close to Six Flags/Elich Gardens. I used to enjoy that amusement park when I lived in Denver. If I bring the kids, we will certainly go there.
