The beautiful city of Denver is home to some of the most aesthetically pleasing murals and museums. Being surrounded by the Rocky Mountains and nature, the city is very conscious of staying eco-friendly, so we’ve gathered a list of eco tours and activities so you can travel around and see the sights, all while being ecologically aware and responsible to keep the city safe and clean.
Art Museums and Galleries Galore
For less than $6 dollars, you can travel around the city by light rail with a single day pass (less than $3 dollars if you are under five years of age or a senior citizen over 65 years of age) and visit all the best museums in town!
There’s also the art districts located on places like Santa Fe, River North, Highlands neighborhood, and Navajo Street. Shuttle coaches can pick you up from light rail stations for the First Friday Art Walks every first Friday of the month (usually starting 6 p.m. to 9 p.m.). Walk around dozens of culturally stimulating art galleries, art studios, and small museums sporting every kind of art, from traditional to modern.
If you want to start with a popular destination, we suggest you start with MCA Denver (Museum of Contemporary Art Denver) over in 15th Street. This beautiful building is indistinguishable with its modern, contemporary glass design. Once inside, natural lighting will spotlight all the best pieces of art available for your appreciation.

Cute Dogs!
After that, you can walk towards the picturesque Millennium Bridge for a few fun shots and a great view of the city. It’s only a short walk from the museum!
Head on over to Union Station and go to any other of the famous sights in the city. There’s the Camp Bow Wow Denver LoDo, two blocks away from the 38th and Blake Station, where you can play with puppies and foster dogs up for adoption! This cute little puppy training camp is open to anyone who wants to see some great furry friends.

Catch a Show at the Coliseum
Near the Brighton Boulevard Station, there’s the Denver Coliseum, where you can catch exciting shows for the whole family. Shows like Disney on Ice, The Denver March Pow Wow, the Ringling Brothers and Barnum and Bailey Circus, and many more are available to see all year round.

Taking a Walk on the Wild Side
Just down McFarland Drive behind the Denver Coliseum, you can enter the Globeville Landing Park, one of Denver’s two hundred breathtaking parks. Walk along the South Platte River or stop by the golf course and enjoy the grassy fields this park provides!
A Guided Tour Over the Mountains
You can explore the incredible mountain ranges of the Rocky Mountains on a half-day or full-day excursion with the Sightseeing Adventure in The Rocky Mountains. Travel on foot around the mountains for either four hours or eight hours as you visit different lookout points, forests, and alpine tundras. Adventure out into old mining towns, Red Rocks Park, and Lookout Mountain’s Nature Center. Remember to take your camera!
Journey Through State Parks
Head over to places like Cherry Creek State Park or Eldorado Canyon if you are ready for a day of unforgettable physical activities. Fun sports like jogging, hiking, fishing, biking, skiing, boating, and even flying model airplanes are there for you to experience at your leisure.

Time to Take Out the Wheels
Apart from all the wonderfully green nature parks and reserves around the city, there are also other types of parks you won’t want to miss out on, especially if you like activities with wheels or boards involved: sports parks!
Rent a bike, assemble your skateboard, or take out your scooters and snowboards, because there are a bunch of parks you can go to for some kickflips and pop shuvits, such as the Downtown Denver Skatepark near the dog park on 19th Street, Evolve Actions Sports Park on South Jason Street, the Ruby Hill Mountain Bike Park next to the South Platte River, and Progresh over in Washington Street. Apart from these sports parks, due to the great walkability around the city, you can also just skate or bike wherever you need to go.
