This summer has us all wondering the best ways to beat the heat. Luckily, we have the tips to keep you cool on these blazing hot days. From trips downtown to your backyard, we have covered all the best summer activities to try.
The Denver Aquarium
The Denver aquarium is a great place to expand your child’s knowledge of the natural world while staying in the AC and keeping cool. Educate you and your family on all the deep blue has to offer. The Denver aquarium is a must on scorching hot days with plenty of exhibits for adults and children.
The movie theater is back! After these challenging days of the pandemic, we’re all glad to see the movies back in full form. There is no better way to escape the heat than sit down with an ice-cold soda and enjoy a movie. For fun for the whole family go to your nearest AMC movie theater and enjoy the summer's best blockbusters.
Sweet Cow
There is nothing like a good scoop of ice cream to cool you off and take care of your sweet tooth. There are a bunch of Sweet Cow locations around Colorado to enjoy. Also, try out Little Man Ice Cream in Denver for a sweet treat. Enjoy their homemade flavors and daily specials. It wouldn’t be summer without a stop for ice cream!
The Boulder Creek
Boulder Creek is a great place to spend your day in the ice-cold rocky mountain water. If you walk down to Canyon Boulevard by the creek, there is a kids' fishing pond. So bring your poles and your sunscreen to enjoy a day outdoors. You could also try out Dickens Farm Nature Area for a day of tubing on the St. Vrain Creek. They have recently partnered with Adventure West to create a worry-free tubing experience.
Backyard Sprinklers
Backyard sprinkler fest! We all think back to those precious childhood memories soaking in the sun and cooling off in a sprinkler or a backyard pool. Sprinklers are cheap to set up, and a blowup pool is even more affordable to do. This timeless activity creates endless memories for years to come.
