It may be snowy, but don’t worry! There are plenty of exhibits that are indoors and warming stations throughout the zoo to keep everyone toasty.

Well, the snow just keeps falling here in the Mile High City. One just has to take a look around to see the white stuff piled up on everything from cars to mailboxes to the sidewalks. As a desert baby, it was disconcerting, yet magical, the first time I woke up and saw the ground covered in a sparkling blanket of frozen goodness. I imagined catching snow flakes on my tongue, making a snow man, maybe a snow ball fight or two…
And then I fell on the ice, and the love affair was over.
If you’re heading for Denver …read more

Denver International Airport, DIA- or Madonna’s Bra Rack, as I like to call it, is the 6th busiest in Airport in the nation and the 10th busiest in the world. DIA takes some getting to and maneuvering around once there. Much more complicated then Stapleton, Denver’s old airport- but then travel in general is a little more complicated these days.
