Denver activities cater to lovers of nature, art, and culture at large, with several Denver museums, theaters, and more spread across the city’s 155 square miles. One fun thing to do is to pack a picnic for an outdoor summer concert at the Denver Botanic Gardens. Other Denver attractions offer romantic opportunities, sometimes in unexpected locations, like the Denver Museum of Nature and Science’s third-story windows, where visitors watch the sun set over the mountains. A Denver science museum isn’t the only place to spend an evening, however. Four total city blocks make up the Denver Performing Arts Complex, home to the Denver Center for the Performing Arts. DCPA hosts new plays, touring Broadway shows, and even acting classes for the stars of the future.
