Shopping
One of Colorado’s newest outdoor malls, and it’s close by! It is in the “newer” and beautiful part of Aurora. Very kid friendly.
Southlands

The other mall that is close to the home. This mall is a little hood and in the “badder” part of Aurora... but it’s got some good stores and is an indoor mall.

Town Center at Aurora
14200 E Alameda AveThe other mall that is close to the home. This mall is a little hood and in the “badder” part of Aurora... but it’s got some good stores and is an indoor mall.
This has been the classic nicer mall to go to the last 15 years. It is indoor, more white collared and classy, and has a great selection of stores and a ton of good restaurants around the mall.

Bars/ Adult entertainment
Anywhere downtown attracts people in their 20’s and 30’s. Starts at Lodo’s or Viewhouse and go from there! Otherwise, here are a couple good recommendations.
I love that it’s got the fun downtown vibe, without the cluster of downtown.
One of the newest bars around, plus an arcade full of throwback games. Super popular place!

I love that this is the same concept as the downtown view house... but it attracts more people in their 30’s and 40’s than downtown. It doesn’t get all crazy and nuts like downtown... but it is still a ton of fun! Great patio set up! Families by day, nightclub/ bar scene by night.

One of the closer, shorter, beautiful mountain hikes.
You can see snow year round at the glacier. It can be a bit rocky, so wear good shoes, but overall a short and easy hike.
Kids may need to be watched carefully with the rocks.
