From the highest climactic notes to the sweeping grandeur of the big finale, watching an opera is truly a feast for the senses. You can feast your eyes on several productions that Opera Colorado stages throughout the year. The company regularly stages three operas (four performances each) at the beautiful Ellie Caulkins Opera House at the Denver Performing Arts Complex. The professionals both on stage and behind the scenes are truly committed to presenting the most impressive performances and high-class entertainment that the company has become known for throughout its distinguished tenure.

There's nothing quite like enjoying an adventure in the great outdoors, and when you're in Aurora, the best place to have that experience is at Cherry Creek State Park. There are group camping sites available, or just enough space for you and the family. Either way, camping fees apply and they do not include the price of a park pass. The site gets rave reviews for being a safe, quiet area with lots of great amenities and attractions that include walking paths, horse stables, restrooms, jet ski rentals and even firewood for your campsite.

The Aurora Reservoir Loop is one of the area's most naturally beautiful spots and a main attraction for those looking for outdoor fun. Enjoy a brisk hike in the crisp Colorado air when you make your way on the trail that surrounds the waters of the Aurora Reservoir. This trail is long enough for a moderately challenging but no less enjoyable day hike as you will travel along the winding path that circles the water and even reaches into the marshlands. Also, anglers find the area a favorite for fishing and the large beach area attracts many visitors who are out for some fun in the sun.

Aurora's Kasbah bar is an inviting and relaxing place to hang out after work or just get away from your usual routine for a while. The staff is friendly and the bar is well-stocked with your favorite beer, wine and mixed drinks. Kasbah may not be the most spectacular bar on the nightlife scene, but it scores lots of points with the locals for being a consistently enjoyable place to enjoy drinks in a decidedly low-key atmosphere.
