Being one of the most popular and most visited cities in the country, Denver is never lacking on fun things to do. You can do anything from riding electric scooters down the 16th Street Mall, visiting the world famous Brewing Companies in the art district of RiNo, or even going to the Denver Zoo. Even if you don't particularly enjoy the city life, you can drive about 20 minutes west and find yourself in the breathtaking Rocky Mountains. But what is there to do in the mountains in the summer, you ask? You have an abundance of fun things to do, such as white water rafting, hiking, mountain biking, and visiting the historical mountain towns. The fun list of things to do in Denver could go on into INFINITI, but below are some of our favorite activities to do on the weekends here.

Go To A Concert At Red Rocks 

Watching a concert at Red Rocks Amphitheatre is a summer weekend must-do for anyone in the Denver area. The drive is only about 15-20 minutes from Downtown Denver heading west, and even the drive is astonishing. Once you get on i-70 and get close to the Red Rocks exit, you'll see some of the best views of your life between the mountain range and the Red Rocks themselves. The legendary amphitheater has hosted world famous artists since its opening in 1906 such as The Beatles, Jimi Hendrix, and U2. Red Rocks puts on concerts every week during the summertime and tickets actually aren't too pricey for being one of the most popular concert venues in the world. Depending on the artist of course, the tickets usually range anywhere from $50 to $200, and what's great is they rarely even get to $200. In addition to seeing a concert at the amphitheater, you can also take part in Yoga On The Rocks, which typically takes place every Saturday morning during the summertime, and Film On The Rocks, which is where they play popular movies over a large screen. Red Rocks also has a fairly simple hike with fantastic views. Over all, seeing a concert at Red Rocks is a fun way to spend a Friday or Saturday night!

See A Rockies Game At Coors Field 

Being one of the most fun and entertaining baseball stadiums in the country, Colorado Rockies games never disappoint. The atmosphere is unlike any other, between the huge rooftop bar (the largest in the city of Denver!) and the crazy fan base, it's rare that anyone has a bad time at Coors Field. As you might know, baseball has the most games per year than any other sport, so there's plenty of games for you to choose from and also a few games a week you can usually choose from. Average tickets run from as low as $16 and go up to about $150 for seats close to the field, but the games are always fun no matter where you sit! If you're unable to make a game, we recommend doing the Coors Field Tour, which lasts about 70-80 minutes and is an in depth tour of the entire stadium. In addition to being a great place to watch a ball game, Coors Field also offers some of the best breweries in town and some of Denver's most famous restaurants actually have booths there including Biker Jim's and Helton Burger Shack. Definitely try and make a game before the summer is over, you won't regret it!

Visit The Wildlife At The Denver Zoo

The Denver Zoo is another great way to spend a nice warm day in Denver. Right in the heart of Downtown on the North End in Denver's City Park, the zoo is a total of 84 acres and houses nearly 4,000 animals and serves over 2 million guests per year. They house everything from Komodo Dragons to Gorillas, and they even have a carousel and train for the kids. The summer hours for the zoo are 9:00 am-4:00 pm, and the tickets are more affordable than you might think. For adults it's $20 a person, seniors $17, children $14, and kids 2 and under get in for free! Other than carrying tons of species, the zoo also hosts fun events throughout the year as well. During the holidays, the zoo hosts its famous Zoo Lights, which is when they put Christmas lights throughout the entirety of the zoo and it's definitely worth seeing in person. Be sure to visit the animals at some point this summer, it's a great way to spend the day with friends or family at an affordable price!

There is no doubt that Denver is one of the most beautiful cities, especially over Spring and Summer. Between the colorful trees and the mountain views, there really is just nothing like it. This city definitely does not lack on fun things to do, whether it be going to a baseball game or spending your day in the Denver Art Museum. Below are some of our favorite activities to do during this time of year along with what INFINITI we love to take to these fun places!

Denver Botanic Gardens 

With all of the beautiful trees and flowers starting to blossom, this is the perfect place to spend a gorgeous Spring day. Located in the Capitol Hill District in Denver, the Denver Botanic Gardens is a 24-acre garden filled with exquisite plants from the Rocky Mountain Region and similar regions throughout the world. Their mission is to inspire the public by connecting people to the environment and their past, present, and future relationships with plants in the Rocky Mountain Region. The Denver Botanic Gardens have a total of seven different living collections, including two natural history collections, a library, and art collections. Although they are a part of Denver Free Days, where they have select days you can get in for free, tickets are quite affordable. Members are free, and it's $12.50 for Adults, $9.50 for Seniors (65+), $9.50 for Military & Veterans (with ID), $9.00 for Students (with ID), $9 for Children 3-15, and Children 2 and under are free. Similar to the Rockies stadium, the Botanic Gardens are right in the city, so we suggest driving a 2019 Q60 Coupe, to really make sure you fit in those tight spots. The Denver Botanic Gardens is one of the most beautiful spots in town and is definitely a must-see. All of the natural beauty is breathtaking and definitely worth seeing in person!

Colorado Rockies Games 

As you may know, the Colorado Rockies are one of our luxury partners, and here at INFINITI OF DENVER we love a good baseball game! Although the Rockies have only been playing since 1993, they have left a huge stamp in the city of Denver. The experience you get at a Rockies game is unlike any other. With the delicious food & drinks, the crazed fans, and the mountain and city skyline views, you will have the time of your life. Opening day is typically in the beginning of April with the season running all the way until the end of September, and the average regular season tickets range from $5 to $200. While you're at the legendary Coors field, you can check out the on-site breweries and restaurants, or spend your evening on the rooftop overlooking the mountains and the city skyline. Coors Field also offers behind-the-scenes tours of the entire stadium with the option of doing a private tour, Monday through Saturday. Since parking here is a little tight with it being right in the middle of the city, we suggest taking a 2019 Q50. Whether it be with family or friends, Rockies games are tons of fun to go to and they really show what Colorado is all about!

Red Rocks Concerts

Red Rocks Amphitheater is without a doubt one of the most, if not the most breathtaking concert venue in the world. Getting its start as a music venue in the early 1900's, Red Rocks has been the perfect place to spend a Spring or Summer Colorado night listening to great music. Located in Morrison about 10 miles west of Denver, this rock structured open-air venue has hosted thousands of popular Artists including The Beatles, Sting, U2, and many more. On top of being a beautiful place to go watch some of your favorite performers, Red Rocks Amphitheater is actually a National Historic Landmark and also a public park. Along with incredible concerts, you also have the option to embark on one of their guided tours, bike around the Red Rocks, or shop and dine. Since you'll be taking a ride into the mountains and through some winding roads, we suggest taking a 2019 QX80 up there. I mean, those huge wheels can practically handle anything! Red Rocks Park & Amphitheater is definitely a sight to see and a fantastic place to watch a concert!
