Are you a Denver native (or longtime resident) who thinks they have seen everything this great city has to offer? Or maybe you are a Denverite just looking for something off the beaten path? No matter your answer, you are going to want to visit these 11 fascinating places (and somewhat hidden gems) in Denver that you can barely find on a map:
Think you have to travel to the mountains to get a glimpse of wildlife and wide open spaces? Think again, as Commerce City's Rocky Mountain Arsenal National Wildlife Refuge features nearly 16,000 acres of outdoor goodness!
You seem stressed... can I make a suggestion? Visit the 5 Star Salt Caves; a beautiful day spa built around a man-made Himalayan rock salt cave that offers a number of treatments, including energy healing, a full-spectrum infrared sauna, and an assortment of different classes and events.

You have enjoyed a high tea at the oh-so chic Brown Palace... but did you know that Boulder has another must-visit tea house? Given as a gift to the city of Boulder from its sister city in Dushanbe, Tajikistan, this tea house was completely built by hand and features delicious teas in an exquisite setting.

Not only is Denver home to the Mint, but also to an epic money museum! (The best part? Admission is FREE.)
Opened in 1983, The Wizard’s Chest is an incredible 8,000 square foot toy store that is just as magical for adults as it is for the littles! (Psst... visit often, as the Chest frequently hosts a number of special events.)
