Big Kahuna Car Wash

It's one thing to see the action, but it is quite another to be right in the middle of it. That's where you'll be when you find yourself behind the wheel of the Italian manufactured Parolin go-karts with 6.5HP Honda engines at Action Karting. These are no ordinary go-karts. These are top-flight vehicles that go up to 55 miles per hour. The venue is a fully-insured, professionally run outdoor go-kart racing track. It's the perfect place for a corporate team building gathering, birthday parties, bachelor or bachelorette parties, or just a great day of revved-up action and fun!

If dogs are man's best friend, your pet will appreciate that friendship even more when you take him for some time outdoors at Grandview Dog Park. It's a great way for your dog to get some fresh air and exercise at this 5-acre park that offers plenty of "off-leash" fun. There is even a separate section for smaller dogs, a fun agility course and lots of shady areas for you to rest for awhile with your four-legged friend.

Nature lovers and fans of the great outdoors absolutely love the Morrison Nature Center, and for plenty of good reasons! This venue is the perfect avenue by which you can encounter some of Aurora's natural beauty. The Morrison Nature Center is located on Star K Ranch, which is over 200 acres and is part of the Sand Creek Regional Greenway. This Greenway is a 14-mile trail system that connects Aurora to Denver and Commerce City, and that long stretch of nature offers plenty of excellent opportunities to see some of the area's most amazing wildlife in its natural habitat.

Take a walk through the passageways and dirt roads that make up the DeLaney Farm Historic District to get an idea of how significant the tradition of farming has been throughout our nation's history. Although this parcel of land was named a landmark in 1997, you will feel like you've gone back several years when you see the meticulously restored buildings on the farm, including Gully Homestead House. This farm was originally home of the DeLaney family who raised horses, dairy cattle and other livestock.
