Marc's Public Blog - Trips to other locations

I arrived Thursday afternoon with a bit of time to see the nearby History Museum which was actually quite good and needed 2 visits to finish it up (3.5-4H):

lots of mining history in CO

Mesa Verde is a cool old city under the rocks.

Next, I took a city bike (using the uber app, interesting) to the Denver Aquariuum

Then, I got lucky and the Botanical Gardens had a halloween themed night visit:

Friday morning, I started with a 2H guided walk through town. Denver spends a set amount of money on art, so there is a lot of it:

AFter the tour, I went to the Wings Over The Rockies Air and Space, which was interesting but probably worth only 2 to 3H at most:

Friday evening, I went to the Clyfford art museum during evening hours. Worth 30-45mn as I was not a fan:

Next door was the Denver Art Museum:

some guy took Japanese snow monkeys and took them to Texas to see if they would adapt. They did, but kind of questionable

The buildings were nicely lit at night:

Saturday, I thought I'd start with the Denver Museum Nature and Science, which opened at 09:00. I was there from opening time and ended up spending all day until they closed. They're located in a nice park:

Then, giving that the museum took all day, it was time to go back to the airport.
