-
The Captain’s Table at the airport, where you can watch planes take off while you enjoy breakfast
Next, head to the Colorado Model Railroad Museum. This spot is packed with detail and fun. Walk around a massive model railroad, explore real artifacts, and even step inside a historic caboose from 1919. Kids will love the play areas, trains, and hands-on activities.
When it’s time for lunch, make your way downtown to The Downtown Armory. While you’re there, take time to browse local books, plants, and art.
Need a little boost? The Downtown Armory also has a great coffee shop inside. And the Cauldron Espresso serves up cold brews, lattes or chai made with simple, quality ingredients. If you’re hungry, grab a panini from Shinobis Panini for bold flavors and an Asian-infused bite.
In the afternoon, explore the LINC Library Innovation Center. This modern space is full of things to see and do. There’s a makerspace with 3D printers and tools, a fun children’s area with a storytime room, and even a gaming space for older kids and teens.
