We all know the feeling.  It’s too cold to play outside, indoor games have lost their charm, and everyone is feeling restless.  So what to do when cabin fever hits?  Take an excursion!  Denver offers many fun, family-friendly activities for cold weather days.  Here are a few of our favorite winter activities:

Denver Museum of Nature and Science

The Denver Museum of Nature and Science offers a fun and educational experience for Denver families.  Visitors explore neat exhibits on everything from the solar system to dinosaurs.  Be sure to check out the planetarium or see an IMAX film when you visit.

Ice Skating at Big Bear Ice Are

Aquariumna

If the kiddos are bouncing off the walls, then a trip to the Big Bear Ice Arena might be a good choice.  Located in the heart of Lowry, Big Bear offers public ice skating, broomball, figure skating lessons and ice hockey leagues.  If your kids have a need for speed, strap on a pair of skates and let them go!

Denver Aquarium

The whole family will love strolling through Colorado’s largest aquarium.  With a maze of different aquatic habitats and thousands of sea creatures to admire, the Aquarium features a shipwreck and sunken temple to delight the kids.  Make sure you check out the Mystic Mermaids interactive show and get a tasty snack at the Aquarium restaurant.  

Fun City

Grab a few friends and head to Fun City for hours of family entertainment.  Fun City offers oodles of activities including laser tag, a foam factory, go-karts, miniature golf, an arcade, and rock climbing.
