Denver museum of nature and science

There are many great attractions to visit in Denver.  Some of the most popular include the Denver Museum of Nature and Science, the Denver Botanical Gardens, and the Denver Coliseum.  If you’re planning a trip to Denver you shouldn’t miss these places and you should make your hotel reservations at the Renaissance Denver Hotel.  We are centrally located just 20 minutes from the Denver Airport and just 10 minutes from the downtown area.  In addition, we offer our guests beautiful accommodations, on-site dining and impeccable service.

The Denver Museum of Nature and Science was founded in 1900.  Since then it has become the Rocky Mountain region’s leading resource for informal science education.  The museum provides a number of wonderful exhibits that focus on the natural wonders of the Earth and the universe.  Its major concentrations include anthropology, geology, health science, paleontology, space science, and zoology.  Visitors can learn so much on each topic through lectures, films, classes and of course the amazing exhibits.  It’s a great place to spend the day with the whole family.

Another great attraction in Denver is The Denver Botanical Gardens.  These gardens are filled with plants from the Rocky Mountain region as well as similar regions around the world.  The main goal of the gardens is to provide spectacular plant displays while offering learning and research opportunities that help preserve Colorado’s natural resources.  In addition to the Denver Botanical Gardens, there are two satellite locations that also showcase a variety of plants.  Not only do the gardens have a beautiful variety of plants and flowers but the scientists and volunteers work hard to help protect these plants species from environmental threats.  It’s truly a wonderful part of Denver’s attractions.

The Denver Coliseum is the perfect family place.  You can see all types of shows here from the circus and rock shows to concerts and professional wrestling.  The Coliseum has been around for over 50 years and is most known for its great seating.  Whatever you’re watching, you’ll always be close to the action.  The seats are very comfortable and the furthest seat is only 28 rows from the floor and all seats have unobstructed views.  If you want to find out what’s happening at the Denver Coliseum, check out their website for a full listing of upcoming events.

After a day of sightseeing at the Denver Museum of Nature and Science, the Denver Botanical Gardens or the Denver Coliseum, it will be nice to return to the comfort of the Renaissance Denver Hotel.  Our accommodations are so luxurious and provide a number of wonderful amenities including 32” flat screen HDTV’s, lush king or queen size beds, cable television, and high speed internet access.  With all this to offer, it’s no wonder we are the top hotel choice in the Denver area.
