👍👍 Great Hidden Denver Tour - Found out about this tour from the Concierge at the Brown Palace. We had a great time exploring some museums and checking out the seedy tunnels that connected our hotel to an old brothel. I would highly recommend to anyone.

Martin Luther King Memorial
Monument
👍👍 This memorial was so much more detailed than the one in DC although theirs is taller. You can learn about history just by visiting this memorial. I definitely want to bring more people to see it. When you are facing the front of it, you are supposed to go right to left around it.

👍👍 Free to the public and like nothing you have ever seen. A contemporary art gallery with 16 foot pink bunnies and art that will leave you thinking "now what was that trying to convey."
