Denver Colorado




Title:
Denver Colorado

Description:
Denver Colorado has its capital building right in the heart of the city. The dome on the roof is of pure gold. The brass market on the 13th step leading into the building marks the height of one mile above sea level. Visitors can take a free guided tour. The Denver Mint building is only one of six locations making coins for circulation, as well as storing gold and silver bullion. The walls are four and a half feet thick. 50 million coins are minted here every day, and visitors can take a free guided tour. (alas, no samples are given out) 16th Street Mall is a busy commercial street a mile long, right in the heart of the city. Free buses run continuously all day long in the center of the street, stopping at every block. Micro breweries, shops and pavement cafes tempt you to linger and appreciate the atmosphere. Travel south from here along Colorado Boulevard to First Avenue/Cherry Creek Mall for a flavor of 150 great American stores. Northwards from here along Colorado Boulevard for just a few miles is the Denver Museum of Nature and Science. Three floors hold a planetarium, IMAX theatre, and exhibits showing the best of wildlife from the USA, Colorado and the rest of the world. Visit the Sky Terrace on level three for a great view over the Denver skyline and the Rockies in the background. Below is the museum park with its boating lake, manicured gardens, walkways and lots of Canadian geese. Alongside the northern boundary of the museum park is the Denver zoo, home to nearly 4000 animals, an entire rainforest under glass and a replica artic circle with polar bears, penguins and sea lions.
