So You're Stuck in Denver This Weekend? Don't Despair! (Unless You're Really Claustrophobic)

This weekend, ditch the Netflix and embrace the Mile High City with a sense of humor (because seriously, what else are you gonna do with that altitude sickness?).
QuickTip: Keep a notepad handy.

| What To Do Denver This Weekend |
Hit the High Notes (Literally):
QuickTip: Take a pause every few paragraphs.
- Red Rocks Yoga (Because downward-facing dog is even more impressive a mile above sea level): Start your Saturday with a dose of zen amidst the iconic Red Rocks Amphitheatre. Just don't forget your sunscreen – mountain sunburns are no laughing matter (unless you end up looking like a human lobster, then it's hilarious for everyone else).
- First Friday in RiNo (Art, Beer, and Avoiding Making Eye Contact with Mimes): The first Friday of every month, Denver's RiNo art district transforms into a street party. Wander through galleries, sip on craft beers, and try your best to ignore the inevitable mimes. Hey, if you can laugh at them, you win!
Embrace Your Inner Foodie (Because Food Coma is Basically a Weekend Activity):
Tip: Revisit this page tomorrow to reinforce memory.
- The Big Eat (A Competition Where Your Stomach is the Ultimate Winner): This isn't your average food festival. The Big Eat features Denver's finest chefs battling it out for culinary supremacy. Pace yourself, grasshopper, or you'll be out of the competition by burger number two.
- Brewery Hopping (Liquid Courage Not Included, But Recommended): Denver boasts a thriving craft beer scene. Grab your pals and embark on a brewery tour. Just remember, designated drivers are the real heroes (and probably deserve the first round).
Channel Your Inner Child (Because Sometimes Adulting is Exhausting):
QuickTip: Treat each section as a mini-guide.

- Denver Museum of Nature and Science (Dinosaurs, Mummies, and Enough Buttons to Push to Make Your Inner Child Squeal): Escape the real world and delve into the wonders of science and history. Guaranteed to spark curiosity (and maybe a few existential questions about that giant T-Rex skeleton).
- Elitch Gardens (Theme Park Thrills Without the Florida Humidity): Cool off with a trip to Denver's historic amusement park. Ride the iconic Twister, indulge in funnel cake (because #weekendvibes), and maybe even win a giant stuffed animal (though, let's be honest, those things are impossible to win).
Bonus: Not-So-Secret Local Haunts:
- Little Man Ice Cream (The Line May Be Long, But Those Shakes Are Worth It): Indulge in over 100 flavors of homemade ice cream. Just be prepared to wait – this place is legendary (and for good reason).
- Sloan's Lake (Paddle Boats, Picnics, and Possibly Spotting a Real-Life Goose): Rent a paddle boat, have a picnic on the shore, and enjoy the fresh air (because, again, altitude). Just keep an eye out for those geese – they're territorial little buggers.
