I'm going to Aurora for a few days for work and I'll have a bit of free time to explore. Any suggestions? Hoping to get a few ideas and prioritize them depending on how much time I have. Trying not to venture more than about 45 mins outside of Aurora (most of the things I've found in Denver seem to be within that travel time).

I've got a few ideas so far:
- Red Rocks
- Union Station
- US Mint
- Coors Brewery
- Coors Field (Rockies won't be in town unfortunately)
- Denver Zoo
- Railroad Museum

A bunch of good breweries are up there


And coors field is a great spot to watch baseball. Among the best in the country, imo

Never been to Denver and can't smoke (drug tests for work). I did see there's a ton of breweries close by. Any ones in particular yall would recommend?

Maybe drive up to Boulder and look around. I would also suggest Estes Park but that would be an hour from Boulder

Yeah I am looking around at a few of the parks. I'd prefer something that I could maybe explore a bit on my own without having to be on an actual tour. I did see something about an urban wildlife refuge which looked pretty cool. The promo had buffalo grazing with the city just in the background.

Coors Brewery tour is in Golden and worth it, last time I went you got three free tastings.

US Mint - book it now, the gift shop is open to the public but the tours are hard to get into, have to book months in advance.

If Col Rockies are out of town, I would do the Denver Broncos stadium tour.

Head over to Idaho Springs and hike St. Mary's Glacier. Do a whitewater rafting trip in Idaho Springs.

Walk around in RiNo, lots of great breweries and now there's getting to be a good restaurant scene in the area. Ratio is my favorite spot over there.
