The Museum of Science and Nature in City Park is truly amazing. So big and on New years, with limited time, we were only able to do the third floor, but we saw the ice age exhibit, the dinosaurs, and the Egyptian mummies. We were 7 in our party, and it was great and so informative.
We will be back soon to see the 2nd and 1st floor with our years pass.

Had a 12 hour layover in Denver on my kids' 6th birthday, so we took a visit to the zoo. Loved it bigger than I though. Ended up leaving his iPad there on accident
Watched the sunset here after a long day of driving and hiking. It was the perfect place to go and relax. We were stunned to stumble upon the gardens and pavilion. Parking is impossible for non-locals, but worth the hunt.
In my neighborhood, there is a lack of quality parks. I typically drive about 10 minutes to reach the city park, which is my preferred place for strolls with my canine companions. I can easily rack up my step count while enjoying the picturesque Lake views. Convenient parking is a definite advantage, although the scarcity of trash cans means you’ll have to keep hold of your doggy waste bags until you come across one.
Great park suitable for all ages, plenty of area to cover be it run or walk...there are zoo, museums, tennis courts all in close proximity.. plenty of parking.. you could see Denver skyline as well . Overall great location.

Was traveling on vacation from Fort Worth Texas. After we explored the Denver Nature and Science Museum with granddaughters and great grandkids we went to the city park overlooking downtown Denver and the Rocky mountains. It's a beautiful park just outside of downtown Denver. Lots of green space, play ground, picnic tables, trails and water features. On a great weather day I recommend visiting.
Beautifull place to escape from the hussle and bussle of the city! So magestic and serene. I love engaging with others, especially with dogs! Today I spotted a huge bald Eagle fly to the top of a huge Evergreen Tree! Magestic 🥰
