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!

Aurora's Sand Creek Regional Greenway prides itself as offering wilderness in the city. That claim is definitely true, as the 14-mile trail connects the High Line Canal in Aurora to the South Platte River Greenway in Commerce City. Along the way, it passes through Denver as well as the newly formed Stapleton community. The trail is a favorite of walkers, outdoor recreation enthusiasts, nature lovers, horseback riders, and dog lovers who are highly encouraged to have their pets on a leash when they visit.

Get a feel of what it was like to attend class in a two-room schoolhouse when you visit Aurora's Melvin School. The structure, built in 1922 and named a landmark in 1986, originally served the outlying community of Melvin. In 1949, the structure was carefully moved to make room for the Cherry Creek Reservoir. After being used as a tavern for 17 years, the Cherry Creek Historical Society moved the school to its current location on the grounds of Smoky Hill High School where it continues to be owned and maintained by the Cherry Hill School District.
