There are endless ways to have some family-friendly fun in Denver, from taking free tours to checking out world-class museums and historical attractions.

Most of the larger attractions provide sensory-friendly experiences where they lower ambient sound and lighting while trained staff help make sensory-sensitive guests feel welcome and comfortable. In fact, Denver Zoo Conservation Alliance was the first zoo in Colorado to earn the Certified Autism Center designation.
