Train enthusiasts should stop at the Colorado Railroad Museum, where they can experience riding on a train and enjoying the sights, sounds, and smells of railroading from a toddler's perspective. Remember to wave at the engineer and snap pictures to capture the memories. The Museum offers multi-generational fun for grandparents, parents, and kids alike, with many exciting activities. One of the highlights is touring the outdoor railyard, where you can explore dozens of historic locomotives, passenger cars, and freight cars from the 1880s to the 1980s. You can also step aboard several artifacts, including a Railway Post Office, an 1880s Caboose, and a Kitchen Car that once served meals to hard-working railroad crews stationed in remote locations.
Did you know that Opera Colorado is one of the driving forces of the city's arts and entertainment scene? Their high-quality performances have captivated audiences in Denver and beyond since 1981. They bring the craft of Opera to life in a way that only they can, with stories like Cinderella, The Marriage of Figaro, Otello, and Romeo and Juliet. Not only do they have mainstage performances at the Ellie Caulkins Opera House, but they also explore in-person and digital initiatives outside of the opera house. They present new works annually and have a nationally recognized Artist in Residence Program that trains the next generation of opera performers. Additionally, their education and community programs reach more than 45,000 students and adults annually. Opera Colorado truly is a gem in the world of Opera.
