What are some nice fall things to do in/around Denver??

Suggestions that are toddler-friendly would be especially welcome.

Thanks!

1. Go see the aspen forests when the leaves turn yellow.

Although, I think that's more of a southern Colorado thing.

There's always the zoo, and the Denver museum of natural history.

2. You looking for outdoorsy things, or city stuff?

We have a children's museum.

The toddler might really like Tiny Town, which includes a miniature train ride through a miniature town in the mountains.

I always see wild life at Roxborough State Park. It's about 45 minutes south of Denver. I suggest an early evening trip to almost guarantee seeing deer. The trail is level and well maintained but not paved. Here's a photo I took there.

6. I edited my first post to include kid/family stuff.

If I think of anything else I'll reply to the OP again. Have fun while you're out here! :hi:

4. The Botanical Gardens and The Natural History Museum in Denver

are great!

Scoot on up to Boulder and take a walk on Pearl Street, if you've got the time.

5. When you're alive? Don't know.

7. Screw Denver.

Get in your car and drive to Boulder.

Better yet, drive to Estes Park.

Denver is terrible.
