Long Table is 1.8 miles away, and definitely a hidden neighborhood gem! They usually have 7-12 beers on draft, all made on location, and all super yummy. You'll be able to find a beer for each person in the group, as they have a variety of styles from dark and malty, to hoppy, or light and fruity. They have a beautiful patio, and a food truck scheduled almost every night of the week.

Union Station is a perfect spot for a great date night. It was recently renovated and updated---but was designed to keep it's original charm. There are several amazing places to eat, a place to grab really yummy ice-cream, a bar that features stellar cocktails and a top rated craft beer list. There's also a central area to cozy up and people watch while enjoying a cocktail or ice-cream cone.

Drinks that sneak up on you, as they tend to be made a bit strong, and on weekends a DJ that knows what he's doing. Definitely the spot if you're wanting to throwback some cocktails and dance. Get there early, or expect to wait in a line. Close to the Ballpark district, and many other clubs.
Plan on having a DD or using a Lyft to get home.

Nice walking/running path around the rec center. Newer park for kids to play. Friendly neighbors, and safe!

Amazing natural music venue, definitely worth the drive to Morrison. Plenty of FREE hiking and biking trails. Great spot for an early morning sunrise and/or workout. The park and venue is open most of the day, as long as there isn't a concert that evening. If there is a concert, it is one of the most amazing venues in the world, and I couldn't recommend seeing a show anywhere more than here. Most shows sell out in advance, but you may be able to find tix on Craig's List. This is close to the city of Golden---home of Coors brewery amongst other local ones too. Worth stopping at on the way to or from the mountains.

Beautiful views of the Front Range (mountains), great hiking trails that can be as easy as a quick quarter mile loop to take in the sights, or as long as a 6 mile hike for some unbeatable views. The trails tend to get more crowded on the weekends, and later in the afternoon/day---so go early, and during the week if possible.

The Denver Zoo is close to the house, and a great spot for families and groups. They have a newer elephant exhibit, with lots of up close and personal experiences to be had by all. It can get busy, so plan on getting there right when it opens!

A bit of a drive, but definitely worth a day trip to see! A quiet mountain town, with some beautiful views and trails and the occasional Elk or Moose sighting. A good place to take older or younger family members to see the mountains, with out actually having to leave the car if you don't want to. There are also plenty of trails to hike if that's what you're looking to do.

Food Scene
Punch Bowl Social is all around a fun place to visit for all ages. Vintage video games, bowling alleys, and more. Drinks are unique and their boozy milkshakes are a must-try. Food is delicious as well, and they do a great Brunch, and Sunday-Funday Bloody Mary bar. This specific location is SUPER unique, as it was the control tower for the original location of the Denver Airport. Opened in Fall 2017.
