Hey All-

We are moving out there in July, but coming for a visit at the end of this month. My husband will be spending most of our visit at his future employers and I will have several days to what ever I want!! What should I do? I will be staying somewhere in Littleton.
I would like to get a good feel of the area and what it is like, but I would also like to go do some fun shopping, eat at some yummy places, and just understand what everyone loves about Denver. So sad that I won't be able to do any skiing do to a knee injury (sigh).

I would love any suggestion!

Thanks.

I am skewing heavily towards Littleton because that is where you are staying, and I think that your husband is probably not going to want to travel particularly far after spending all day working.

Closest place to shop:
Southwest Plaza at Wadsworth and Bowles
Aspen Grove at Mineral and Santa Fe

Cool places to shop:
Park Meadows at C470 and I-25
Cherry Creek Mall at 1st and University
Belmar at Wadsworth and Alameda
The Shops at Southglenn at University and Arapahoe
16th St. Mall Downtown

Cool places to visit:
Red Rocks Amphitheater
16th St. Mall Downtown
Museums: Denver Art, Clifford Still, Museum of Nature and Science


Yummy places to eat:
Lots of chain restaurants on south Wadsworth in Littleton including: Macaroni Grill (Italian), Gunther Toody's (50s Diner), Bonefish Grill, 3 Margaritas (Mexican), Hacienda Colorado (Mexican with mariachi band on Wednesdays, I think), Red Robin (Burgers)
Texas Roadhouse Grill Littleton (best steak under $20)
The Melting Pot in Littleton (Fondue)
Jerusalem Restaurant by DU (Middle Eastern)
Most Vietnamese restaurants on Federal in West Denver
Thai Bistro in Littleton
Los Cabos downtown (Peruvian)
Mr. Sushi in Littleton
Yen King in Littleton

Most of these places are decent to very good, but they are close to where you will be staying.

Default Things to do in Littleton

Although you'll be near Littleton, you can catch the light rail and go downtown. Near Littleton, these are highlights for me:
Shopping in "downtown" Littleton,
Happy hour at the Manor House in Ken Caryl (Thursday evenings only),
Walks in South Valley Park or Roxborough State Park.
