Meridian Surveying

Travel more than one hundred million years back in time at Dinosaur Ridge. The outdoor exhibits showcase the archeological findings of prehistoric Colorado, with real dinosaur bones encased in sandstone and over 300 dinosaur footprints resting in the top layers of sand and mudstone. Be sure to explore the Dinosaur Ridge Exhibit Hall for an even closer look at the beasts of the past.

Take in the scene at Four Mile Historic Park. The attraction is a reflection of the pioneer spirit of Denver's early settlers and boasts the oldest structure in the city, the Four Mile House. The building was constructed in 1859 and served as a stage shop, inn and tavern for travelers. The park offers programs for Denver guests and residents to learn the history and heritage of the Mile High City.

Rock out and support a good cause at the Denver Day of Rock. The festival hosts over 20 bands on four stages featuring local and national acts, playing genres of music like zydeco, ska, country and of course, rock. The event is an effort to raise awareness of local children's charities and proceeds from the event are donated to the cause.

Travel back to yesteryear on the classic rides at Lakeside Amusement Park. The attraction is one of the oldest in the nation and is home to old-time favorites like the Loop-O-Plane, Tilt-A-Whirl, and of course, a ferris wheel. For a truly historic experience, take a ride on the wooden Cyclone coaster - it was built in 1940, so it could be older than you!
