Denver, CO 80238

Tiffany C. writes: Dear Downtown Branch of the Denver Library,

I want to love you, I really do. You are a gigantic vessel for one of my all time favorite things - books. You are stately and quiet and have interesting exhibits, like the time you housed on of Jack…

Chautauqua

Baseline & 10th
Boulder, CO 80305

Ali S. writes: Chautauqua is a great park, with all the classic park amenities. However, I want to write about the real reason many of us visit Chautauqua- to park and access the trails in and around the flatirons.

The reason I give 4 stars is because everyone and…

The Capitol

Denver, CO 80218

Dustin G. writes: Woo.....the capitol building is a grand building.

Decked out in marble and gold, the capitol building makes you think that politicians inside actually do something noble and worthwhile.

Oh woops....did I say that?

The gold..apparently every so often…

Millennium Bridge

16th St Mall and Chestnut St.
Denver, CO 80238

Dustin G. writes: Bridges to me have always represented the light side of industry, the part with the engineering and pioneering spirit, instead of the darker side of alienated labor and pollution.

Pedestrian bridges are sort of the new thing for cities it seems. Now,…

Lafayette Public Library

775 W Baseline Rd
Lafayette, CO 80026

Hiker Chicka e. writes: Honestly, I want to keep this to myself.... but... I'm feeling generous today, so I will share.

Independence Plaza
Neighborhood: Northwest, CBD

1050 17th St
Denver, CO 80238

Dustin G. writes: You know for a sort of mall-ish spot, this dig is pretty damn nice.

Going in you see the usual plethora of stores, but in the center you find a fountain with sky-lights above. During evening hours the sun hits the fountain just so, and illuminates all…

Denver U.S. Mint
Neighborhood: Northwest, CBD

320 W. Colfax Avenue
Denver, CO 80238

Lori M. writes: The Denver U.S. Mint, built in 1906, and one of the most gorgeous buildings in the city, just recently began giving free, guided tours (you need to call your congressperson first, however, to arrange a visit). The tours are truly fascinating, with up…

Molly Brown House Museum
Neighborhood: Southwest, Capitol Hill

1340 Pennsylvania St
Denver, CO 80203

Carrie R. writes: Don't expect to fill an entire day with a visit here, but it's well worth the $6.50 admission to tour the Unsinkable Molly Brown's home on Pennsylvania.

Built in 1886 and purchased by the Browns in 1894, this fine mansion was quite luckily saved from…

City and County Building
Neighborhood: Southwest, Golden Triangle

1435 Bannock St

Denver City and County Fleet
Neighborhood: Northwest, CBD

201 W Colfax Ave
Denver, CO 80238

Wade T. writes: I want to give a shout out to all of the snow plow drivers at DC&C. They all did a great job keeping our roads and highways clear during the recent snow storms.

One of my buddies drives a snow plow there. During the first snow storm, the one that…

Writer Square
Neighborhood: Northwest, Lodo

1512 Larimer Street
Denver, CO 80238

Alexandra F. writes: So after reading Vince's review I headed over the Writer's Square to see how inspiring it would be for me and here is what I wrote at that time for my review:

The bird to my right wont stop staring at me, and I think that woman in that navy blue suite…

Byers-Evans House Museum
Neighborhood: Southwest, Golden Triangle

1310 Bannock Street
Denver, CO 80204

400 East 8th Avenue

Fairmount Cemetery & Mortuary
Neighborhood: Southeast

430 S Quebec St
Denver, CO 80247

Carrie R. writes: Opened in 1890, this 285 acre cemetery boasts mature trees, captivating above-ground tombs, and plenty of history. It is also home to Ivy Chapel, a Denver landmark.

This is a must-see for those interested in funerary architecture. It is also…

Norlin Library

UCB Campus
Boulder, CO 80303

Dustin G. writes: The Norlin Library is the main library of the University of Colorado at Boulder (yes kidoes, there are more libraries on campus. In fact there is an entire library system).

As a former employee, you all are going to get the inside scoop on this…

Democratic Party Campaigners

Denver, CO 80202

Dustin G. writes: This is for the Democrat campaigners outside of Peet's coffee.

So, one of the main reasons I decided to sit in the mediocre Peet's coffee for so long was that it was pouring rain, and I mean drenched in under 5.

And yet, as I sipped my weak-ass Chai,…

Daniels and Fisher Tower

Denver, CO 80202

Dustin G. writes: This old historic building has some real character, and is almost always empty.

A very tall and slender clock tower, which totally seems Edgar Allen Poe to me, this building is located off of the 16th street mall, and has Lannie's Cabaret in the…

Colorado State Government: Capitol Building

200 E Colfax Ave
#136
Denver, CO 80203

Airport Park & Ride

Airport Blvd & 40th Ave
Denver, CO 80238

Alexandra F. writes: That stupid Pikes Peak $5 parking idea is the worst parking system I have seen at an airport yet. Avoid the annoyance and do yourself and your wallet a favor and park at the DIA Airport Park and Ride. You can take the bus all the way from downtown,…

Smoky Hill Library

5430 S Biscay Cir
Centennial, CO 80015

sherri s. writes: This is the best library everrrr.
The first thing I noticed was the layout. From outside, you can figure out what part of the library you will be visiting and park near your entrance. The children's section has an entire separate section, so toddlers…

Belmar Library

Lakewood City Cmn
Denver, CO 80214

Daniel T. writes: A deceptively large library, the new branch at Belmar (actually across the street at Lakewood Commons) is a great place to find book or just get some work done. They have free wifi and 3 large rooms you can usually just sign into and get some quite…

Colorado History Museum
Neighborhood: Southwest, Capitol Hill

1300 Broadway
Denver, CO 80203

Carrie R. writes: I love Colorado. I was born here......

.....OK, OK, I'm ready for everyone to jump down my throat for saying so. (http://www.yelp.com/to...) So here's the disclaimer: It just so happens I was born in Leadville. I have NOTHING against people who…

Jefferson County Public Library

10200 W 20th Ave
Lakewood, CO 80215

Daniel T. writes: I used to hate this library as it just feels... inaccessible. I wish this were a multi-floor library as they have quite a selection and having it all on one floor makes it a little hard to navigate. Overall a great alternative to DPL if you're not in…

US Post Office
Neighborhood: Northwest, Five Points

951 20th St
Denver, CO 80202

Bonnie s. writes: I guess it must be the pay that Post Office people get...... they work so slowly it is craziness! I mean, this place can take care of anything from your need of stamps to passport photos but expect to wait a long long long long time to get through…

Heritage Square

18301 W Colfax Ave
Golden, CO 80402

dj soundra w. writes: I used to love this place more than life itself. The reason? Def. the rad alpine slide, though this is certainly not the only attraction at Heritage Square.

This is like, the ultimate fun fun place for grandparents to take grandchildren. The…

Rocky Mountain Arsenal National Wildlife Refuge

56th and Havana St
Denver, CO 80238

Lori M. writes: Twenty years ago, this former chemical weapons manufacturing facility, just east of Denver, was hardly an ideal habitat for wildlife, but when military production ceased in 1982, and a massive environmental clean-up effort ensued in 1987, the…

Jewels of Highlands House Tour
Neighborhood: Northwest, Highland

c/o The Lumber Baron Inn
2555 W 37th Ave
Denver, CO 80211

Carrie R. writes: This annual home tour raises funds for the Denver School of the Arts. (Yes, this seems odd since DSA is in Park Hill and this tour takes place on the opposite side of town. But who am I to question such things. It also seems like there's a "the" or…

The I-25 Corridor, T-Rex Project
Neighborhood: Northeast, Stapleton

North-South I-25
Denver, CO 80238

Dustin G. writes: While this project took ages to complete, I remember back in the day how much of a pain it was trying to get through Denver via I-25. This was especially problematic as it was the only real way to Colorado Springs from Boulder, as well as a central…

George Reynolds Branch Library

3595 Table Mesa Dr
Boulder, CO 80305

Vince D. writes: In many cities the George Reynolds Branch of the Boulder Public Library, quietly tucked away across from the Table Mesa Shopping Center (King Scoopers side), would be the crown jewel of the city.

Then again, my hometown didn't have a library, so a…

Meadows Branch Library

4800 Baseline Rd
Boulder, CO 80303

Vince D. writes: To be honest, this branch is probably the less-known member of the Boulder Public Library System. Think of it as BPL's Peter Criss.

The building was designed to look like a bookstore as it is built inside a shopping complex. And though it's not the…

The Colorado State Capital Building
Neighborhood: Northwest, Uptown

200 E Colfax Ave
Denver, CO 80203

Alexandra F. writes: As long as you don't come inside wearing a tuxedo and claiming that you are the emperor, you can get a nice guided tour of the building.

Now sure why you would be so bored in Denver that you would want a tour, but whatever floats your boat and…

Blair Caldwell African American Research Library
Neighborhood: Northwest, Curtis Park

2401 Welton St
Denver, CO 80205

Taj M. writes: Head up to the top floor of this Five Points library for various exhibits on African-American history in Colorado. We thought we knew something about something until we came here. If you like local history, this is your place. There's a lot to learn…

Park Hill Branch Library
Neighborhood: Northeast, Park Hill

4705 Montview Blvd
Denver, CO 80207

Carrie R. writes: I was sitting on the floor, scanning Tintin books, as an 8-year-old girl browsed the nearby shelves. She kept moving closer and closer, and finally whispered to me, "What are those books you're looking at?" And I decided everybody should know about…

US Post Office
Neighborhood: Northwest, CBD

535 16th Street
Ste LL
Denver, CO 80204

Shiho F. writes: This post office is hidden on the basement floor of an old building. Not that many people know about it so it is not too busy during lunch. Go here if you have to run errands from 11 to 1pm.

Westminster Public Library

7392 Irving Street
Westminster, CO 80030

Jason M. writes: Let me start by saying I think it's great that you've acquired the funds to build a new library branch. It's kind of rare, in this day and age, for a library of a small town to get much notice, much less the money for nicer facilities (I assume the…

Observatory Park
Neighborhood: University Park, Southeast

University of Denver
2930 E Warren Ave
Denver, CO 80210

Taj M. writes: This small park in the DU area is quiet and tucked away from just about everything. A remote part of the DU campus, this park surrounds the university's observatory. I don't know much about the building, but it was nice hanging out on the grass all…

Jefferson County Public Library

9505 W 32nd Ave
Wheat Ridge, CO 80033

Daniel T. writes: Not worth your time. The selection here is horrible and the drive time to both Lakewood, Belmar, and Denver Public Libraries is well worth the additional selection. I realize Wheat Ridge is a small city, but they should have spent a little more on…

The Railway Bridge over Brighton
Neighborhood: Northwest, Five Points

2800 Brighton
Denver, CO 80238

Dustin G. writes: Right after Broadway turns into Brighton in North Denver there is a railway bridge that goes over Brighton. This bridge provides some convenient cover from the extremities for those underneath it as it also seems fairly sheltered from the wind. Thus,…
