Drinks & Nightlife

This is bar, club, music and more all in one. Nice place to cruise down on a bicycle and check out epic graffiti wall murals. Google Maps might take you North of the railroad tracks, but plenty of things to see South of them along streets like Larimer, Walnut, and Blake from Downing to Broadway.

A truly in depth experience of Natural History; with several sections including a detailed exhibit of gems and minerals (and Colorado's story in the history of mining); an IMAX movie theater, and a really epic evolution experience walk through (with a window peering into on site archeologists working on fossils), and a cafeteria. You can spend a good part of your day at this museum, and it is a very short trip away. Located in City Park with the City Zoo nearby!
