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.

For the past several years, the Aurora Fox Arts Center has carried on the tradition of providing great theatrical entertainment by delivering consistently excellent performances to the delight of many audiences. The building itself is an historic landmark located in the city's East End Arts District, the epicenter of performing arts in the area. There is always an enticing array of entertainment on the schedule that includes plays, musicals, children's theater, and concerts, as well as performing classes for theater-lovers of all ages.
