I read the Craigslist Travel Board frequently - and always answer replies questions about our wonderful city of Denver. Here’s my quick replies about fun stuff to do when here:

————————–

Tattered cover bookstore - (one downtown on 16th street, as cherry creek is moving) - the new one at Colfax and Columbine is open!

walk or bike around platte park area, at the way west end of 16th street mall.

Bodyworlds is at the Denver Museum til 7/23 - may or may not be your thing but I just saw it and loved it
www.dmns.org/main/en/

Rent bikes and do the Cherry Creek - pics
Trail, platte river trail - better yet get a bike overnight and do an evening ride when cooler.

Bike or walk or drive 7th avenue between Downing and east to Monaco, and up to 20th and back - awesome old mansions and houses - and some small neighborhood shops along the way.

16th Street Mall - of course - big pedestrian mall - movie theatre at Pavilions if really hot

Do thrift and vintage stores on south broadway between 6th and I-25 - Cool retro shops and really cool used bookstores - and further south on broadway some great antique stores - and Mayan theatre has indy movies

Mile Hi (huge) Flea Market on Saturday or Sunday, again may or may not be your thing but different.

other cities: Golden and Boulder - Boulder’s easy to get to via express bus from downtown

Oh - Esquire theatre at 6th and Downing has midnight movies - like 80s flicks or old horror movies - it’s ok to talk and have fun -like a big party.

again that’s MY interests - but they’re all pretty genuine to Denver and the various neighborhoods,

oh best idea - pick up a Westword (or westword.com) on Thursday’s - list different events for the week

have fun - enjoy the city. be sure to get outdoors from 6-9pm - not as hot and beautiful sunsets from the city
