Child friendly activities

Doesn't even have to be in the Denver Metro area. I like a good drive. I have my 5 year old with me for the next month with out mom and her little sister and want to make sure she has a good time. It is her first time being separated from her sister or her mom for anything longer then part of a day.

Zoo is always a good place for her to spend a day wondering around. She does like that. The children museum is the suck. Seriously worthless if you ask me.

Any fairs, rodeos, carnivals what ever going on with in about 1-2 hours from Denver or in Denver area? I think she is right on the edge of being old enough to go shooting with a 22 and am thinking of picking one up for her. Only 130 bucks at the base. But not actually certain how much she would like it.

Are you familiar with Jump Street? It's an indoor trampoline park. My brother in law used to manage one of them before going back to school. Definitely worth a look, any kid would love it.

Also more simple things like swimming pools, ice rinks, roller rinks (thinking of things my 5 year old daughter likes)

There is the railroad museum in Golden that seems to be popular with the kiddos.

I like that, kid is an absolute klutz though. Seriously, she has trouble walking on dry ground in tennis shoes with out falling down.

Kind of far away (Pueblo), but this place is GREAT! Good place to spend a winter day with the grandkids.
