If you like rides then stop by Six Flags. All you can ride for something like $25.

Fixed. Good food does not exist in Colorado. Thanks.

Gee, thanks for clearing that up. Btw, is there oxygen on your planet?

Drive one hour north to Fort Collins to see that.
Drive to the Rocky Mountain National Park. I know it's winter, but you might see some elks, wolves and such, pretty cool.
Of course there is skiing.
And finally there is another very good brewery downtown Denver.
Have fun.

If you count beer as food, I guess.

When I think of Denver this time of year I think of skiing.

I don't know that much about CO, but aren't there many, many famous resorts there? Maybe you should spend a day/afternoon at one and just chill. Do that whole spa thing with the wife (she might like that), maybe play a sport like golf or tennis, etc. You know, just relax.

See who's playing the Paramount. My wife and I caught Emmylou Harris there a couple years ago for almost nothing, and it was a great (surprisingly) show.

The Pat Metheny Group will be there March 9th. That would be worth seeing. Or CarrotTop. Just to say you did it. Or to punish someone you're with.
The Paramount is right down in the downtown street mall near the capitol building. There's plenty of cool stuff to do down there.
I can't remember which restaurants sold buffalo burgers, but it's part of Denver tradition, evidently.

Eric Cartman recommends Casa Bonita. Make sure to check out Blackbart's Cave and the cliff-divers!

Casa Bonita? Casa Bonita?!
Argh! Run away! Now you're giving OlePigeon ammo for his 'no good food in Denver' rant!
