Top things to see and do in Denver. What’s on YOUR Denver Bucket List?

April 9, 2021 By Chrissy

Denver is such a wonderful city to live in with a rich heritage and culture, amazing views, fantastic weather and some of the warmest people you will ever meet.

What’s really interesting about this list is that many of the things are FREE or very inexpensive to do.

We asked several Facebook groups to let us know what was on their Denver Bucket List and here were some of the answers we received. We will continue to add to this list based on our reader’s feedback.

If you’ve done all of these or have your own to offer up, please let us know in the comments!
