Denver Can Be An Absolute Blast On The Cheap!
If you want to go cheap to Denver there are literally more things to do than your 7 to 10 day vacation can possibly carry. At last count we had found over 30 things to do under 20 bucks that are both fun and memorable. Denver is one of those places where you had better bring a camera because you just never know what will come up next.
One of the neatest (our opinion) things to do when you want to go cheap to Denver is visiting the Molly brown house which is now a Museum dedicated in her honor. Who is Molly brown you might ask? She as you may remember from the movie is likely the most famous if not the most notorious survivor from the sinking of the Titanic Luxury Liner. Her home is on capitol hill in Denver in what is still one of the city’s most posh and expensive areas. Some of the homes in this area are fantastic mansions that really remind you of a time in America when people built things really well.
Her home was turned into a sort of half way house for young girls who had lost their way after her death. And then has since been taken on as project by a restoration foundation that restores the truly priceless treasures of this great city. The entry fee is so low you won’t even remember paying it once your inside and viewing all that just a couple of bucks bought you for a few hours.
Then when you’ve finished there you can head over to the Lo-Do area as the residents of the area call it. The lower downtown area or Lo-Do is an amazing section of highly restored old brick Victorian homes and even some office buildings. Walking through this historic collection is free and unless you stop at one of the areas many quaint cafes it should remain so. There are of course restored old Victorian homes that you can enter and view as little mini museums some of which have a small entry fee and some of which don’t.
For a few dollars more (sorry for the old movie reference but I had to) you can also visit the really nice downtown Denver aquarium. It’s not on par with let’s say Sea World or anything but it also doesn’t carry that kind of a price tag either. It is one of the nicer city aquariums that you will find just about anywhere though. It’s also set up really well inside so that it’s not one of those ones where you wonder what architect they hired to design this place. The impressive thing was that from the moment you step inside you feel like you can easily find your way around.
Yes, I would say that if you’re looking to go cheap to Denver you won’t run out of cool and fun things to do any time soon, and depending on what your interests are there is plenty to fill up at least a 30 day vacation or two.
