DENVER FOR KIDS
With loads of outdoor activities, there's plenty of space for the little ones to burn off their excess energy. Free
activities in the fresh air include a drive up to Mt Evans summit, a trip to Red Rocks Amphitheatre and a swim
and splash at Confluence Park. For a few bucks you can paddle a kayak from Confluence Kayaks ( Click here ) or
rent the whole family bikes from the city's B-Cycle ( denver.bcycle.com ) program. If Johnny or Jenny are keen
skaters or rollerbladers, go to Denver's awesome skate park and watch them, ah, shred…dude.
Best Museums
Though the Children's Museum ( Click here ) is perhaps a little underwhelming for moms and dads, Denver has
plenty of museums that are more fun for the whole family.
» Denver Art Museum ( Click here ) Grown-ups will love the excellent collection and kids can get creative in ter-
rific hands-on workstations.
» Denver Firefighters Museum ( Click here ) Great for a few hours of fun, this will help teach the kids how not to
burn the house down.
» Denver Zoo ( Click here ) Squeals of delight will greet the gross-out kids' program on animal excrement.
» Denver Museum of Nature & Science ( Click here ) Egyptian mummies and dinosaur bones make this a great
place to geek out.

( 303-295-9126; www.thepeclodo.com ; 1962 Market St; 7am-2am, music from 9pm) This smoky, old-
school jazz joint attracts a diverse mix of people. Since it opened in 1951, Frank Sinatra,
Tony Bennett and Ella Fitzgerald have played here, as have Jagger and Richards. Local
jazz bands take the tiny stage nightly, but you never know who might drop by.
Hi-Dive

( 303-733-0230; www.hi-dive.com ; 7 S Broadway) Local rock heroes and touring indie bands light
up the stage at the Hi-Dive, a venue at the heart of Denver's local music scene. During big
shows it gets deafeningly loud, cheek-to-jowl with hipsters and humid as an armpit. In
other words, it's perfect.
