Head to the historic Larimer Square to see over 200 artists produce masterpieces in the streets at the Denver Chalk Art Festival. The event invites professionals, amateurs, parents and children to create their best works, and promote the arts in Denver. The not-so-artistically inclined can enjoy live music, and indulge in food, drinks, wine and local brew while strolling the streets and taking in the unique art.

Step onto the scene in Denver's oldest neighborhood, the Lower Downtown Historical District. LoDo is home to restaurants, shopping, bars, clubs, art galleries, and venues like Coors Field and Pepsi Center. Take a walking tour of the area and soak in the culture, history and beauty of this Denver treasure.

Give the kids a fun and educational experience they won't soon forget at the Children's Museum of Denver. The museum is packed with hands-on exhibits and attractions that explore subjects from the alphabet, to math, to the arts. Some of the more imaginative activities include dressing like a fire fighter to learn fire safety, or pretend-play as a veterinarian or grocery clerk to encourage social interaction with other kids.

Hang out with the animals at the Denver Zoo. You'll see over 3,500 animals like pandas, flamingos, monkeys, lions, gorillas, tigers, hippopotamuses, snakes, fish, hyenas, and turtles. The 80-acre zoo houses its animals in habitats that best replicate the animal's natural environment.
