During your Denver vacation, don't miss these great establishments and attractions:
Children's Museum of Denver
Denver's best hands-on experience for children, this intriguing museum is both educational and just plain fun. Focusing on the zero-to-8 age bracket, the museum uses educational "playscapes" to entertain and activate young minds.New playscapes for 2004 are "Fire Station No. 1," which teaches safety with such exhibits as a real fire engine, and "Community Market," a faux supermarket that allows kids to role-play as shoppers and clerks. There are several other playscapes with themes ranging from biology to engineering. There's also a resource center that provides parenting information to adults. And a cafe that serves sandwiches, snacks, and beverages. Allow at least 2 hours.
Denver Botanic Gardens
Twenty-three acres of outstanding outdoor and indoor gardens display plants native to the desert, plains, mountain foothills, and alpine zones. There's also a traditional Japanese garden, herb garden, water garden, fragrance garden, and a garden inspired by the art of Monet. "Romantic Gardens" feature a waterway, and the "Gardens of the World" hold plants from Asia, Europe, Africa, Australia, and the tropics.Even in the cold of winter, the dome-shaped, concrete-and-Plexiglas Tropical Conservatory houses thousands of species of tropical and subtropical plants. Huge, colorful orchids and bromeliads share space with a collection of plants used for food, fibers, dyes, building materials, and medicines. The Botanic Gardens also have a gift shop, library, and auditorium. Special events are scheduled throughout the year; offerings range from garden concerts in summer to a spring book-and-plant sale to a cornfield maze southwest of Denver in the fall. Allow 1 to 2 hours.
Denver Zoo
More than 750 species of animals (more than 4,000 individuals) live in this spacious zoological park, home to the rare deer-like okapi as well as endangered cheetahs, Komodo dragons, and western lowland gorillas. The newest (and most ambitious) habitat here is Predator Ridge, a re-created African savannah with lions, hyenas, and other African predators, opening along with a new entrance and parking facility in 2004. The exhibit is modeled after a Kenyan preserve, complete with artificial termite mounds that disperse insects for the banded mongoose that live here. The zoo has long been an innovator in re-creating realistic habitats: Bear Mountain, built in 1918, was the first animal exhibit in the United States constructed of simulated concrete rockwork.The zoo is home to the nation's first natural gas-powered train ($1). The electric Safari Shuttle ($2.50 adults, $1.50 children) tours all zoo paths from spring through fall. An especially kid-friendly attraction is the Conversation Carousel ($1), featuring wood-carved renditions of such endangered species as okapi, polar bears, Komodo dragons, and hippos. The Hungry Elephant, a cafeteria with an outdoor eating area, serves full meals, and picnicking is popular, too. Feeding times are posted near the zoo entrance so you can time your visit to see the animals at their most active. Allow from 2 hours to a whole day.
Denver Marriott-City Center
This hotel's location in the heart of the financial district makes it a great choice for both business and leisure travelers. Totally renovated in 2001-02, it's just 2 blocks from the 16th Street Mall, and convenient to Larimer Square, the Convention Center, Coors Field, Elitch Gardens amusement park, the U.S. Mint, and the Denver Art Museum. Each room has one king-size or two double beds, a desk, and typically great views. Some suites have small kitchenettes, making this one of the few properties in downtown Denver with such an amenity.
Adam's Mark Denver
This striking, sprawling complex consists of two buildings that were designed by onetime Denver resident I. M. Pei in the 1950s, joined as Denver's first convention hotel in the mid-1990s. Linked by a pedestrian bridge that crosses Court Place, it combines the 22-floor Tower Building (a former Hilton and Radisson property) and the Plaza Building (a former May D & F department store) into the largest hotel in the Rocky Mountain region. From the upper floors of the Tower Building, the west-facing rooms have marvelous views of the Front Range, and it's a real treat to relax and watch the lights of the city come on as the sun makes a graceful exit behind the curtain of mountains.Rooms, on average, are larger than the norm in downtown Denver, and the range of suites is dizzying. The decor of both guest rooms and public areas is classical, with an emphasis on brass, marble, and solid woods such as oak and mahogany. Colors are muted and restful.Facilities:3 restaurants (1 Italian, 2 cafes); 3 lounges; heated outdoor pool; health club (weight room, cardiovascular machines); sauna; business center; 24-hr. room service; coin-op washers and dryers; dry cleaning; executive level (concierge and business services, full breakfast, local and national newspapers, and happy hour w/hors d'oeuvres, coffee, and desserts).
Loews Denver Hotel
Located just east of Colorado Boulevard and south of Cherry Creek, the Loews Denver's sleek, towering exterior is black steel with a reflecting glass tower. Inside, it's bella Italia, with columns finished in imitation marble, and Renaissance-style murals and paintings that look 500 years old. The location, about a 15-minute drive from downtown, is good for those who want access to scattered attractions or the Denver Tech Center. Throughout the hotel, much use has been made of floral patterns, Italian silk wall coverings, and marble-top furnishings. All of the spacious rooms have elegant decor, along with all of the business perks any traveler could want: at least three phones, high-speed Internet access, and a fax machine. The resident eatery, The Tuscany, is also excellent.
