Surround yourself with beauty in Colorado, a rich outdoors scene that will inspire your family to jump into action. Take a gondola ride in Breckenridge, ski the peaks at Aspen, or view living history at Mesa Verde.
Dive into the summer fun in Breckenridge, where kids can dress up in scrubs to study x-rays and bones at the Mountain Top Children's Museum, ride through the scenic Boreas Pass Road, or even shoot down an Alpine Super Slide. Your children will never face a shortage of activities, whether they're interested in viewing the town in a hot air balloon ride, taking art and music classes in the town center, or paddle boating around Maggie Pond. With scenic gondola rides, climbing walls, and 4x4 off-road tours, it's hard to go wrong in such a charming (and action-packed) small town.
Heat up during winter in Aspen, which touts everything from bunny hills to black diamonds for your next family ski trip. Whether your children are 3 or 13, they'll find skiing and snowboarding classes catered to their experience and age level. After you've warmed up by the fire, consider encouraging their inner chef by building a pizza pie at Bruno's, or take a guided tour through some of the historic smuggler mines. The beautiful mountain views and plentiful outdoor activities will be sure to delight all the kids in your brood.
Dig into the past at the far southwestern corner of the state, where your family will find the adobe-style homes of Native Americans at Mesa Verde National Park. After climbing the rickety ladders back to the top, check out the Chapin Mesa Archaeological Museum, where your children can sense the rich history of the area through exhibits of ancient sculptures and prehistoric artifacts. This unique archaeological area is sure to stay in your children's memories for a lifetime.
