Don’t miss the Japanese garden and definitely don’t forget to bring a few sandwiches so you can while away the hours.

If you forget to bring food, there are two restaurants you can enjoy. The Hive Garden Bistro offers seasonal salads, burgers, fries, and other snacks. Alternatively, try the Offshoots at the Gardens Café for a wonderfully relaxed atmosphere.

4. Read a Book at the Public Library Friends Foundation

If you’re a bibliophile, then you’ll definitely have added this building to your list. But, for those who don’t love reading, this spot is worth a visit. 

The library looks beautiful from the outside and is a very unusual structure. If you’re lucky, you’ll visit during a book sale! Otherwise, it’s not possible to take out books.

While traveling, it can be difficult to make time to workout. But, while in Denver this shouldn’t be a problem.
