Alternative Sightseeing
Out-of-towners can see the sights from a classic double-decker bus or trolley, but we’d suggest something a little more exciting. We love the tours offered by Colorado Adventure Segway Tours, 866-642-4919, coloradoadventuresegwaytours.com. This is the 21st-century way to ride scooters—and perhaps the best way to see downtown Denver. After a 20-minute tutorial on proper Segway use, a professional guide will lead you around town on a two-hour tour. Routes can be customized, but sights typically include the State Capitol, the Denver Mint, the Centennial Gardens and the Mile High Stadium. Cost: $75 per person. Tours run year-round, weather permitting; riders must be at least 16 years of age. Reservations are required.
