Welcome to the first day of June, everyone! While we love indoor activities (we’re a little biased), we’ll showcase some great outdoor activities for you while you’re adventuring across Denver and searching for things to do. Take a look at our personal top five Denver hot spots!
Relax at Sloan’s Lake
Sloan’s Lake is a perfectly peaceful place to relax. The lake is perfectly sized, offering a refreshing hour-long walk and a view of rolling water. When you’ve been searching for things to do all day, Sloan’s is a great place to take it easy! Search for events happening in the area; the annual Dragon Boat races are hosted here, and it’s a great opportunity to experience the community!
Experience the Circle at McGregor Square
You can even find great outdoor things to do downtown! McGregor Square is located close to Denver’s Coors Field, and is situated around a number of tall buildings; but the square is uncovered, and is always full of interesting fairs, markets, and community activities. They keep tabs on their events here; they’re hosting outdoor movies and events for Pride Month!
More than Musical Things to do at Red Rocks
Denver’s most exciting outdoor venue is no stranger to these blog posts; there’s always a great number of artists playing there! But did you know that the Rocks also host a number of hiking trails, scenic spots, and other things to do? Check out the listing on AllTrails to see where you could go; Red Rocks is one of the most beautiful spots in the state!
Enjoy Urban Nature at Confluence Park
This one is a little-known area. Confluence Park is hidden on the outskirts of Downtown and nestled along the river. The river is home to a number of biking and walking trails, among other things to do, but the Park also offers kayaking, tubing, and fishing! If you’d like more details about its location, check out the PDF here.
Things to do and see at RiNo Art District
Finally, for those of you who’d prefer a crawl over a hike, the RiNo Art District has everything you’d require. The area is surrounded by great restaurants, as well as bars. A walk around the area is always interesting, as there’s always interesting street art to view along every corner!
And finally, once you’ve had your fill of the outdoors, there’s always EscapeWorks Denver… Did we mention we have air conditioning? It’s always nice and cool inside Blackbeard’s Brig!
We did the Vampire Hunter room. It was just the two of us and it was just the right amount of challenging. Sean was our Game Master and he was incredibly engaging and just the right amount of helpful. He gave us time to process and figure things out before giving us the subtle nudge we needed to progress. The room was well decorated and extremely fun. We will be back for the rest!!

Our family had a great time with the “Egyptian Tomb” room and Dakota as our game master! The puzzles were fun and approachable for all of us, even though we had various levels of experience. The room also had a fun and realistic theme with some cool surprises that we discovered along the way!

We had such a blast doing the Vampire Escape Room. We were greeted by Sky, who was so kind to us despite us running a couple of minutes late. She was enthusiastic and excited to get us started. The experience was super fun and challenging. I love that you get little hints along the way to ensure you move along and don’t get too stuck and frustrated. Perfect date experience for my husband and I. Totally recommend.

We completed the Vampire escape room and absolutely loved it! The puzzles were clever, creative, and kept us thinking the entire time. Everything was really well done. Huge shoutout to Wyatt--he did an awesome job setting the scene, getting us pumped to play, and offering just the right amount of help when we got stuck. Five stars all around!

My group did the Vampire Hunters and the Egyptian rooms, Wyatt was our game master for both of them. Both rooms were absolutely epic! I was truly surprised at the quality of the rooms, decorations, props and puzzles. All of the riddles and tasks were unique, different and unexpected. We had a blast and highly recommend this experience to everyone. We plan to come back to complete the other rooms soon! Thanks Wyatt for a great experience! I love how you were fully in the experience with us and immersed us right at the beginning!

Amazing experience! I went with my brother and we did the Casino Heist room—can’t say enough good things about our time there! The puzzles were very interactive and the perfect difficulty for us to solve, the room set-up was exciting, and the story behind the room theme perfect. Cooper, our game master, was very helpful in giving us hints during the game without spoiling any of the fun, and was extremely kind, funny, and informative. Overall, we had the best time and will definitely be revisiting and recommending to family/friends!

We had an amazing time at the escape room, and a big part of that was thanks to our game master, Cole! From the moment we walked in, he set the tone with his hilarious energy and welcoming vibe. He kept us laughing the entire night and made the experience even more memorable. Cole was not only super funny, but also a fantastic host—clear, helpful, and just all-around awesome. If you get the chance to go, hope you get Cole as your game master. He’s the best!
