Area Attractions

Come for the Symposium, stay for the fun

While you're in town for the Symposium, we encourage you to enjoy some of what beautiful Colorado has to offer: unbeatable hiking, exploring our very own Rocky Mountain National Park, quaint museums, countless local breweries, vibrant downtown communities, Denver Zoo, museums and more. There is something for everyone. Colorado often displays every season in a day, especially in the fall, so you never know what kind of weather you may get; pack layers and sunscreen. If you are not accustomed to high altitude, allow yourself some time at Denver altitude before you venture up into the mountains to avoid altitude sickness.

Our very own national park is about 75 miles from Glendale. Inside the park you'll find expansive landscapes and hiking, and if you're lucky, lots of wildlife viewing. RMNP does require a timed-entry ticket to enter the park at certain times through mid-October. Visit the website to learn more.

Located in downtown Denver, the Denver Zoo is a highlight attraction when visiting Colorado. Denver Zoo houses nearly 4,000 animals from 700+ species, welcoming 2 million visitors annually. It is right next door to the Museum!

The historic Denver Museum is a premier natural history and science museum in City Park featuring dinosaurs, Egyptian mummies, planetarium shows, and lifetime health exhibits. It is right next door to the Zoo!

When in Colorado... discover top hiking within 30 minutes of Denver!
