Denver is a great place for families, and with events happening all the time for all ages, I wanted to create a quick resource list just for you kids out there, big and small!
I’m a local Realtor, and have lived in Denver since 1982 – my web site is my name – Gretchen Rosenberg. I love to share the best Denver lifestyle tips, so if you have more to add, please, message me or comment below.
If staying active with kids is specific to your lifestyle. Check these fun Denver activities off your To-Do list:

Depending on the season, you can catch an Avalanche Game, Rockies Game or even Rapids Game. Prices range from $16 for single tickets to $119 for a family of four with special family packages which include tickets and food.

Denver Lifestyle: Education
Of course, Denver has some amazing venues for learning, including an aquarium, zoo, Botanical Gardens and a fantastic Natural History Museum, but what about ones a little less known and a little out of the way?
How about the Dinosaur Resource Center in Woodland Park? It is a short day trip idea that can include a nice lunch or dinner stop in the quirky Fargo’s Pizza, almost a museum in its own right, in Colorado Springs.
