Sightseeing

If you want to see a sweet swath of Denver, take a walk or bike from Union Station, over the Millennium Bridge, through Commons Park, over the Platte River, and over the highway (I-25) on the Highland Bridge which connects downtown to the Highland neighborhood. There's an abundance of things to see and do in this area, and is a great way to spend a day.

Parks & Nature

This is like the Central Park to Denver (but a little under half the size). It features a large lake, band shell/staging area for events, free tennis courts, and walking paths. It also houses the Museum of Nature and Science, and the Denver Zoo.
