Things to Do in Denver

Looking for fun things to do in Denver? Here are eight great spots we love to visit:

• Ball Arena: Home to the Denver Nuggets, the Colorado Avalanche, and the Colorado Mammoth, plus concerts and other events, this downtown Denver arena always has something to see. As the host for the first and second rounds of the 2025 NCAA Tournament, Ball Arena will be buzzing with excitement during March Madness. If you're looking for a place to stay while enjoying the thrilling NCAA action, Kimpton Claret is designed to provide comfort and convenience for basketball fans. Whether you're attending the games or exploring the vibrant downtown area, you'll find the perfect March Madness hotel to enhance your experience.
• Empower Field at Mile High: Appropriately shaped like a horseshoe, this stadium hosts the NFL’s Denver Broncos and is known for having some of the loudest fans in the league.
• Red Rocks Amphitheatre: One of the most distinctive open-air venues in the country, Red Rocks stuns with its sandstone monoliths and only-in-Colorado acoustics.
• Comedy Works South: This comedy club in Greenwood Village is a fun place to see well-known comedians on national tours, as well as up-and-coming acts from the local scene.
• High Line Canal Trail: Winding through Denver’s southern suburbs, this multiuse trail — pedestrians, cyclists, and equestrians welcome — follows a canal for more than 70 miles. Hop on at the Belleview Trailhead near the hotel.
• Marjorie Park: With dozens of works from the Museum of Outdoor Arts, this park on the north side of Fiddler’s Green Amphitheatre is worth a stroll. It’s currently open only for scheduled events and tours, so check the calendar before visiting.
• Levitt Pavilion Denver: Another great amphitheater in town, this one hosts free all-ages concerts during the summer. Head to a grassy hillside in Ruby Hill Park with a blanket and a picnic meal and enjoy the show.
• Mount Blue Sky: Drive to the summit of 14,130-foot Mount Blue Sky (formerly known as Mount Evans) on the highest paved road in North America. Along the way, you’ll see jagged peaks and glacier-carved valleys — and you may even spot mountain goats, bighorn sheep, and marmots.
