What not to miss in Denver!

[Sassy]

Ok Locals...we all know that the Bronco game is the #1 priority of the Orangemane Weekend...but what other fun things do you guys suggest for the weekend? :sunshine:

[bfoflcommish]

If you like zoo's we have a great zoo. Otherwise hit up Cherry Creek shopping, still great weather to take trip up to the mountains.

[KYChamp24]

I have been to Denver once and loved doing the tour of the Coors Brewing plant in Golden, CO.

FYI--Free beer at the end!!!!

[smalltowngrll]

Women....We cannot forget about the 16th st. shopping district!! Oh, I just love it!!

[ludo21]

MY sister and I are going rafting on Friday. Course thats not in Denver, but it will be better than anything in Denver for sure.

Arkansas River thru the Gorge, WOO!!

[Sassy]

Oh yeah...been there a couple of times...including the Cheesecake Factory! :sunshine:

I haven't did the tour in about 2 years but yes you get free beer afterwards, pop and energy drinks for others that don't want beer. It wasn't more than an hour or so from what I remember (tour part), but outside you get to go to the barn and check out the clydesdales and dalmations as well, take pics, that as was cool. They also have a HUGE gift shop

cheesecake factory rocks....or go to the other end of the mall and get a shake or malt from Jhony Rockets.....or go to hard rock and go straight to the bar and order a sexy aligator :~ohyah!:

[Sassy]

Tred also mentioned Gumbos, Maggianos, La Loma and the Lucky Strike...
Opinions???

Blueflame, Bluedamsel and I had lunch at Johnny Rockets the first time we ventured to Denver ;D

Maggianos is pretty good, I like Gumbo's but my wife didn't, never been to la loma, and lucky strike I walked in and right back out. It looks nice but not my type of crowd, and I can't see paying those type of prices when there are better food and drinks in downtown.

[Sassy]

What didn't she like about it?

[ak1971]

If you are looking for two excellent places to dine..I recommend the following..La Dolce Vita in Castle Pines (sort of a drive down South, but worth it) Sushi Den (if you like sushi) These are my two favorite places and take most of my money.

[bfoflcommish]

What didn't she like about it?

She's not into that type of food, but I like it.

[Teddman]

It used to be that you could take the 'quick' tour and just go straight to the bar.

Did you say shopping... :D You know i'm down for that! Monday?? or Saturday??

[smalltowngrll]

Hard Rock is a staple every time I go. I have to visit at least once a year.

[smalltowngrll]

Did you say shopping... :D You know i'm down for that! Monday?? or Saturday??
I'm thinking Monday. I'm going to need to nap on Saturday when we get there. My flight leaves here at 5am Sat....so, I'll be up at like 3:30. So, if we are going to party Sat. night...I need a nap before!!!

You know we are. What time does your flight get in 9am or 10?

[smalltowngrll]

10:20am

[Sassy]

Are you ladies bringing the
"kids"?

[heydensmom]

LMAO ok you'll have 2 hours for a nap before I get there!

[heydensmom]

Are you ladies bringing the
"kids"?
I'm not, it's my weekend. My boys are going to stay at home and watch it on TV. It was part of the deal of him getting the new Harley.....that I get to go to this game and party with STG.

[smalltowngrll]

My daughter will be there...but, she's 17 and does her own thing most of the time. She'll probably go shopping with us and stuff, but if we hit the clubs, she'll hang out at the hotel. I usually have the laptop, and she loves that. Or, she'll bring the playstation and play it in the room. Or, she'll hang out at Invesco and just stare at the stadium!! She loves that place!!

Ha! I think you should get a few more Bronco trips out of that deal! Yikes! :wiggle:


Cool deal STG!

[smalltowngrll]

True, but, I get all excited when I first get there and can't sleep! We'll see how long I really nap anyway. I'll probably run on adrenaline anyway!!

[Sassy]

If you like zoo's we have a great zoo. Otherwise hit up Cherry Creek shopping, still great weather to take trip up to the mountains.
If we do a zoo...it will be on the Diego trip.

Same here...we just catch it when we get there and call the day before we leave for a pick up.

[bfoflcommish]

I went to the San Diego zoo 2 years ago and I wasn't impressed at all, I like ours better. The only thing they have we don't is the Panda's, and so many people want to see that you have no time to look, otherwise they are way too spaced out and the enclosuers I don't think are our cool as ours. Everyone says well it's a huge zoo...eyah with nothing in it...lol you are walking for a minute between exhibits thats why it's big.

[Billy Clyde Puckett]

If you have a car, check out the Little Bear in Evergreen. Be sure to have a designated driver for the trip back to town. You ladies can add to the decorations in the rafters.

Head down to Park Meadows for shopping at the big stores. Buy a nice watch from Kaylore.

[Hogan11]

What's not to miss in Denver? Why getting a good look at my butt, of course!....just ask Sassy Ha!

Good point. I was at the SD zoo last year. Walked me ass off. Too many people. Hell it took me 20 minutes just to park at the dump.

Denver Zoo is great. You can hit our zoo, walk the City park, and the museum all in the same time as the Diego Zoo.

[Sassy]

The Boise Zoo is pretty good...

I will say this, that if you like baseball a lot, I'd recomend going to a Rockies game. Coors Field is a really beautiful park.
Also, I know the first thing I'm going to do when I get back to D-Town, is scarf a Chipotle burrito. So sad they don't have a restuarant here in Norman.
Also, just look West, and stare at the mountains for a minute. They are really something.
Theres also Elitche's to go to, although I'm not a big fan of amusement parks and haven't gone there.
The aquarimine(sp?) is supposedly pretty good, museum is solid too.

[16slayer24]

downtown DENVER rocks and for those who havent been COYOTE UGLY SALOON cracks me up well worth a beer stop while shopping

[broncocalijohn]

Not if Pete drove to work and looking for a little pick me up for the way home. Just keep going up the mountain from golden and gamble at Black hawk and Central CIty. I love LODO for its bars and restaurants. All meat eater like Fred Flintstone must go to the Brazilian restaurant near the Union station I believe close to Wazoo. MEAT MEAT MEAT!

COors field is great but the tour is worth it. Rocky Mountian Oysters anyone?
jth1331, Chipotle is about 3/4 of a mile from me. Great fat burritos. In and out will be coming across the country now that the old lady died a few days back. Look for public offering on the exchange and put places like White Castle to shame. If you havent had a In n out burger, you havent experienced good fast food. Plus, everyone that works there is not an illegal alien!

I am planning on coming in for the faiders game. We should get a group together. It would be a race to their bathroom. Then add more meat the next day for the game! It is costly but worth the try (and then comeback for more MEAT!).

[Jori]

I don't have a ticket to the game, but wouldn't mind hanging out with some folks sometime during that weekend.

[smalltowngrll]

Bumping this thread for newcomers that will be traveling to the game this season!!

[Scottish_Bronco]

Few of us thinking of taking in the CU game the weekend of the Raiders game. Just thought i would let people know if they are interested.

[ORANGEJARHEAD]

No trip to Colorado, or Denver for that matter is complete until you take I-70 west thru some of the most beautiful country on the planet. Eisenhower tunnel, Vail pass, Dillon res., everything up there rocks.

The Flatiron Mall in Boulder was really cool too.

The last one I had was duringmy sandiego trip last year to see the broncos last reg season game. In n Out burgers are one of the many things I miss about calif, when I lived out there. IN n OUT the best!!!!
!Booya! :thumbsup:

I liked the burgers at Johnny Rockets...but then we don't have those in ND.

The question should be, "What do you have in N.D.?"
