Fall Back in Time

Denver is home to historical sites that honor some of the world’s most notable people. For Titanic enthusiasts, take a trip to the Molly Brown House Museum, where Margaret Brown, more commonly known as the “Unsinkable” Molly Brown, is honored and remembered for her activism, philanthropy, and passion.

Looking for classical art? Look no further, the American Museum of Western Art is a hidden gem in Denver, home to more than 300 paintings that depict life from the early 19th century to today. The museum offers more than cowboy portraits and landscapes; the three-story building contains varying styles of art.

To find more recent history, a trip to Fifty-Two 80’s is all about the 80s. From toys to collectables to memorabilia, Fifty-Two 80’s has everything you need to take you back in time. Cuddle up with a Care Bear or play an Atari game and re-live the 80s at this vintage shop.

Voted #1 theme and water park in Denver, Elitch Gardens Theme and Water Park is filled with thrill rides, family rides, kids’ rides, and water rides.

Denver is home to beautiful, scenic views and gorgeous mountains, and what better way to see this nature is to go outdoor rock climbing? With Denver Climbing Company, you’ll be accompanied by climbing professionals who will help you push your limits—not to mention the breathtaking views.

The nightlife in Denver is like nothing you’ve seen before. Learn how to line-dance at Denver’s only country rock bar, Cowboy Lounge, where you can feel like a real cowboy for a night. Or go to Howl at the Moon; this high-energy live music bar will have you dancing in no time!

What to Eat?

There’s much to experience and see in Denver, but what about the food? Inspired by Italian food, wine and culture, Tavernetta will make you feel at home in a hospitable, warm environment with a delicious Italian menu where you can sit on the outdoor patio or enjoy the indoor, intimate atmosphere.

A must-eat place is Bagel Deli & Restaurant, as seen on the show “Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives.” The family-owned operation is a place where people come together for friendship and great food; the food is so good that the Governor of Colorado declared Bagel Deli Day in its honor.

You won’t find a restaurant like Tocabe outside Denver, with its fry-bread, bison ribs, and Indian tacos bringing a modern twist to Native American food. This Southwestern-inspired restaurant will make the whole family happy.

Denver is packed with rich history and a bright future. Don’t miss your chance to visit for ACEP19!
