Denver is an amazing city. Here at ten things to do/visit while you are there.

1. Denver Zoo- It's a very large zoo, one of the best in the U.S, and has lots of different animals that you don't get to see in all the other zoos! In addition to the animals, there is also a train and a carousel which provide even more entertainment. It's a great place to spend the day and it's fun for kids and adults. There is great food and it is not very expensive.

2. Water World- This is a great water park. There are tons of different rides and activities,there is something for people of all ages. The park is very clean and guests are allowed to bring in their own food if they wish.It is on the list of top ten water parks in the United States and is relatively low in cost in comparison to similar places.

3 .Ocean Journey- The largest aquarium between Chicago and California. Although it is an aquarium, it also has land animals.It has lots of hands on activities for people of all ages to enjoy. There are many different exhibits, including some of endangered fish.It is a little pricey, but worth the money.

4. Birdhaus Bash- Beautiful botanical gardens. There are lots and lots of different plants and flowers to see and take pictures of. There are lots of different events and programs so there is something that everyone can enjoy. In addition to being incredibly beautiful, it is also educational. It's a very relaxing way to spend an entire day and get away from the city.

5. Molly Brown House- Tour the house of a socialite, philanthropist, and activist named Margaret Brown who survived the sinking of the Titanic. It is very interesting and has a great gift shop. The guided tour takes about 45 minutes, cost less than 10 dollars, and is highly recommended by people who have taken it.

6. Coors Field- Great place to visit for sports fans! It is known to be one of the most fan friendly parks in the country. A guided tour of the stadium is offered where you can learn all about the park's history while visiting cool things like the Colorado Rockies' dugout. While there you can also watch one of the Colorado Rockies games.

Lucky me, I was born in Denver! My parents moved us out to New England when I was just a baby so I didn't get to grow up there but I've been to visit several times and I highly recommend it! It's a wonderful place! Great write ~ 5 stars
