Things to Do with Family in Colorado

Colorado offers practically everything for families. With such a diverse landscape made of deserts, forests, snow-capped mountains, and more, taking the entire family to the state will be a family vacation that you all won’t soon forget.

Here are a few of our favorite things to do with your family while you visit Colorado.

Hit the Dunes

While we’d recommend that you find some time to hit the ski slopes, if you’re visiting Colorado in the summer months, you should head down to Great Sand Dunes National Park in Alamosa for an afternoon full of sand sledding and sand castle fun!

Christmas Year Round

Do your kids love Santa so much that they could celebrate Christmas year round? Well, if you find yourself up in Colorado Springs, that’s possible! At the North Pole and Santa’s Workshop in Colorado Springs, they celebrate Christmas every day with theme park rides, magic shows, and more.

Watch a Puppet Show

Bet you wouldn’t have thought of doing this on your own. In Denver, the Puppet Theater has entertained people of all ages for over 20 years. If you’re looking for a unique and fun-filled evening with the kids, don’t miss this stop.

Explore the Mountains

Want to take the family on a nice day hike? Well, in Colorado there are limitless opportunities to get outside and explore Mother Nature, but at Rocky Mountain National Park, adventure is everywhere.

Located in Estes Park, there are tons of hiking and sightseeing opportunities for people of all ages. The best part is that if your family isn’t much for hiking, you can drive to the top and still capture the incredible views.

Hit the Slopes

This list wouldn’t be complete without mentioning the fantastic skiing available in Colorado. As one of the top skiing destinations in the entire United States, if you find yourself in Colorado in the winter, you’d be missing out by not spending at least an afternoon on the slopes.
