If you're an animal lover, consider visiting the Wild Animal Sanctuary. This sanctuary is home to various rescued animals, such as leopards, cougars, wolves, bobcats, and foxes, all living in species-specific habitats on 320 acres of open grassland. As the largest and oldest nonprofit sanctuary in the United States, the Wild Animal Sanctuary provides a haven for these beautiful creatures, many of whom were rescued from dangerous or abusive situations. The animals, staff, and volunteers at the Wild Animal Sanctuary appreciate your interest in their work to help solve America's captive wildlife crisis.

The Children's Museum of Denver offers kids a unique and exciting experience that combines learning and fun in one place. With interactive exhibits and activities covering various subjects, including language, math, and the arts, kids can enjoy a hands-on approach to education. Some highlights include dressing up as a firefighter to learn about fire safety or pretending to be a vet or grocery clerk to encourage social interaction with other kids. The Museum's mission is to provide a space for future leaders, innovators, and adventurers to explore, create, and learn at their own pace. Although the exhibits are designed for children aged from newborn to eight years old, everyone can have a great time at the Museum. The exhibits are interactive, one-of-a-kind, and cater to different interests and learning styles.
