The mall is a mile-long, tree-lined promenade stretching through the heart of downtown. Bustling with street vendors, souvenir shops, clothing and jewelry stores, and a plethora of bars and restaurants, this energetic strip offers plenty of variety. The Denver Pavilions, at the entrance of the mall, is a new open air-shopping plaza filled with trendy chains, including the Denver edition of the Hard Rock Cafe. The D & F Tower, a 325-foot replica of St. Mark's campanile in Venice, graces the center of the mall. The Tabor Center adds to the shopping enthusiasm. Free shuttles provide transportation up and down the mall, allowing for convenient cross-town sightseeing.

Baseball is an essential part of the American culture and a vibrant component of Denver, all of which makes Coors Field such a hub of activity during the summer. It seats more than 50,000 and is regarded as one of most fan-friendly parks in the country. For a few dollars you can take a guided walking tour and learn about the history of the field while taking in all the sights, including the Colorado Rockies dugout and the visiting team's clubhouse.

This 314-acre expanse of gardens, greenery, fountains, ponds and fine sculpture, located just east of downtown, is home to the Denver Zoo and the Denver Museum of Nature and Science. Built in the early 1900s as part of the popular City Beautiful movement, the park served Denverites as a civic refuge and swimming retreat. The lake beach no longer exists, but the historic boathouse, seen on many area postcards, remains. Three playgrounds, picnic tables, tennis courts and a public golf course are all available.

This outing at the Denver Zoo is an annual event covering the month of December. Thousands of lights illuminate a path around the zoo and lighted sculptures of animals, many sequenced to make the animals appear to move. Storytelling, carolers, and Santa Claus will make an appearance, but only through Christmas. Roasted chestnuts, traditional kettle corn, hot chocolate and hot cider warm the crowds. Large crowds flock to the festivities, especially on mild evenings and weekends, but the lines move quickly. USD7 adults, USD6 seniors, USD4 children (4-12).
