Ka-Ko Jo's

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!

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.

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.
