Going to be passing through Denver at the end of august...

Question

I am going to be going through Denver briefly and i wanted to see what there was to do as far as sightseeing. I've heard of the Wynkoop Brewpub, which I'm definitely going to check out, but I also wanted to know if there were any other points of interest worth seeing while I'm there. Also, I will have my 13 year old sister with me. Any suggestions??

Answer 1

The democratic convention is here from 8/25 thru 8/25. You'll be lucky to even get downtown between the 23rd and the 31st. Most of us are leaving.

There is a LOT to do. The mountains are beautiful and there are tons of places you can go there. Downtown Golden is awesome, as is Pearl Street Mall in Boulder. For your sister, the Denver Zoo is excellent and there are several museums there, too. Have fun! Denver is amazing!
