Sightseeing
The Lake, Denver Zoo, Denver Museum of Nature & Science. They are all in the same area!
We love taking a walk around the lake when the weather is nice. Each round around the lake is about 1 mile.
Note: When there are events happening, parking can be challenging.

If you are looking for a more typical, big shopping center, Cherry Creek Mall is the place to go.
It has got Macy's, Nordstorms, Apple Store and an AMC Theatre. When it is cold and snowy, it is a better place to get your shopping down than the 16th street mall.
