Colorado's Ocean Journey
This exciting attraction houses more than 15,000 fish, mammals and plants in two imaginative river journeys. The Colorado River flows into the same ocean as the Kampar River in Sumatra - on opposite sides of the globe. Both rivers start at 36,600m (12,000ft) above sea level and reach the Pacific Ocean through completely different ecosystems. Visitors can follow the journeys of both rivers in this enormous world-class exhibition, part aquarium, part zoo and part theme park.

Colorado State Capitol
Built in 1908, in the domed classical style, Colorado State Capitol embodies the confident civic pride of the young America at the turn of the century. The brilliant dome gleams with 24-carat gold leaf, outdone only by the unique rose-colored Colorado onyx wainscoting inside.

Molly Brown House Museum
The spacious, three-storey Molly Brown House Museum was built in 1890 and sold to the Browns in 1894, for US$30,000. Now restored to its original splendour of draped velvet, lace, polished wood and rich carved furniture, the house affords not only a glimpse into the opulent lifestyle of Victorian Denver's upper-middle class but also brings to life one of the most exuberant characters of the Denver gold rush.
