Top 10 Hidden Gems in Denver You Must Explore

SHARE:

You might think you know Denver inside out. The city’s famous spots like Red Rocks and the Denver Art Museum draw huge crowds, but we found that there was so much more to explore off the tourist trail.

Denver holds some amazing surprises away from the popular attractions. An old air force hangar now houses remarkable aircraft collections. A unique cannabis church showcases stunning psychedelic art. A historic trolley takes visitors on scenic rides along the South Platte River. The peaceful 700-acre Chatfield Farms welcomes nature lovers with its beautiful wildflower meadows. The RiNo Art District bursts with vibrant street art around every corner.

The city’s true spirit shines through these hidden spots – from diverse cultural galleries to charming local bookstores. These places may not appear in typical tourist guides, but they make Denver truly special.

The International Church of Cannabis: A Psychedelic Sanctuary

The rainbow-streaked sanctuary of the International Church of Cannabis stands out among rows of simple houses in Denver’s Washington Park neighborhood. This 113-year-old building grabs your attention with silver galaxies and bright, happy-face planets spray-painted across its front doors and arched windows.

History and Architecture of the Church

The church’s red-brick towers and blocky turrets hide a fascinating story. Built as a Lutheran church in the early 1900s, the building later became Mount Calvary Apostolic Church. Steve Berke and his parents bought the property in July 2015 and planned to turn it into apartments. After what Berke calls “stupid, fantastical conversations” with friends, they decided to keep it as a church. The International Church of Cannabis opened its doors on April 20, 2017 – the unofficial pothead’s holiday – thanks to $40,000 raised through Indiegogo for repairs.

The church serves as Elevationism’s headquarters, a spiritual movement believing cannabis can speed up and deepen someone’s spiritual trip. Steve Berke, the co-founder, says Elevationism has just one rule: treat others how you’d like to be treated. Most members use it alongside their existing faith rather than replacing it.

Immersive Art Experiences

Colors explode around you as you step inside, making the space extraordinary. Spanish artist Okuda San Miguel painted the entire interior in six days without any sketches or plans. His psychedelic vision shows massive creatures with beaks, wings, and sparkling eyeballs in bright patterns of red, blue, and green geometric prisms. Two dream-like giants sit cross-legged at the back wall, lost in meditation.

Kenny Scharf, an American artist, added his touch with graffiti-inspired murals on the building’s exterior. These artists turned a regular church into one of Denver’s most eye-catching spaces.

Visitors love “BEYOND,” a 360-degree laser light show that starts with a seven-minute guided meditation and leads into a 30-minute psychedelic light experience set to classic rock-and-roll. The lights match perfectly with the ceiling mural’s 3D mapping to create an amazing visual display.

Visiting Tips and Etiquette

You can visit the church any day of the year. It’s open from 12pm-8pm Friday through Monday and 4pm-8pm Tuesday through Thursday. Adult tickets cost $25, student tickets are $20, and children under 12 pay $10

Regular hours are family-friendly and smoke-free. The church holds ritual services once or twice weekly for cannabis consumption. Members light their cannabis from the same candle during these ceremonies and say the Elevationist meditation. To join in, you must:

  • Be at least 21 years old
  • Show ID at the door
  • Fill out an online form confirming cannabis as a “spiritual sacrament” in your life
  • Bring your own cannabis (it’s BYOC – no buying or selling allowed)

The ground floor features vintage arcade games, ping pong tables, and a gift shop selling souvenirs and “High Priestess” T-shirts.

This psychedelic sanctuary boasts a five-star TripAdvisor rating and offers meditation classes, pop-up markets, and a unique experience in Denver.

Linger Eatuary: Dining in a Former Mortuary

Denver’s hidden gems never cease to amaze, from spiritual enlightenment to state-of-the-art cuisine. A neon sign sits atop a historic brick building in the LoHi neighborhood that reads “Linger Eatuaries” – a clever play on words that gives a hint of this restaurant’s unusual background.

The Building’s Fascinating History

The structure began its life as Olinger Mortuaries in 1890 and handled half of Denver’s funerals. Buffalo Bill Cody became the building’s most famous “guest” when his body stayed here for six months in 1917 while Colorado and Wyoming debated his final resting place.

Chef/owner Justin Cucci welcomed the building’s dark history when he bought the property in 2011. The iconic rooftop sign’s transformation from “Olinger Mortuaries” to “Linger Eatuaries” needed just two tweaks – darkening the “O” and slightly changing “mortuaries”.

The building’s past life shows up everywhere inside. An antique church pew serves as the host stand. Guests get their water in repurposed formaldehyde bottles. The main dining room sits where hearses once loaded bodies. The kitchen now occupies the old embalming room, and the upstairs bar used to be the viewing room.

Menu Highlights and Global Cuisine

Linger’s menu takes guests on a worldwide culinary experience with small plates that showcase global regions. The sharing-style menu lets diners explore flavors from around the world:

  • Asian-inspired standouts: 5-spice pork belly bao buns, satay lettuce wraps, Korean fried chicken buns
  • Global favorites: Wagyu sliders, Filipino spring rolls, pad Thai
  • Plant-based options: Impossible sliders and wok-charred edamame for vegan diners

Linger belongs to Justin Cucci’s Edible Beats restaurant group (along with Root Down and El Five) and shows a steadfast dedication to sustainability and ethical sourcing. The restaurant serves dinner every night and offers brunch Friday through Sunday. The rooftop happy hour runs weekdays from 4-6 PM.

Rooftop Views of Denver

The spectacular rooftop area might be the best reason to visit this hidden gem. Denver’s best outdoor dining spots consistently include this deck. Guests can enjoy amazing panoramic views of downtown Denver’s skyline.

Bar-V stands as the rooftop’s centerpiece – a 1975 GMC RV turned into a working bar. This vintage vehicle fits perfectly with the restaurant’s whimsical, slightly macabre atmosphere. A converted food truck serves as the outdoor kitchen.

The giant milk can structure of Little Man Ice Cream Company next door creates another perfect view from this elevated spot. The rooftop becomes incredibly popular during Denver’s beautiful spring and summer months, so calling ahead early in the season is a smart move.

This former mortuary keeps drawing crowds looking for something unique in Denver’s dining scene. The mix of creative décor, globally-inspired cuisine, and breathtaking city views makes Linger truly a destination worth dying for – figuratively speaking, of course.

Williams & Graham: Denver’s Secret Speakeasy

A seemingly ordinary bookstore in Denver’s Highland neighborhood hides one of the city’s best-kept secrets. Williams & Graham isn’t your typical bar – a moving bookshelf serves as a gateway to another time.

Finding the Hidden Entrance

The experience starts in a small bookshop complete with an old-fashioned cash register and shelves of books. The staff checks your ID and takes your coat after you share your name. A green light lights up above a bookshelf, and once it goes dark, the shelf swings open to reveal a hidden bar. This secret passage leads you to an intimate space with just seven tables. The exclusive setting makes any wait worthwhile.

The entrance ritual adds to the magic for newcomers. Wait times often stretch to two hours on busy nights. Getting there early makes sense. The experience that awaits makes the wait worth every minute.

Craft Cocktail Specialties

Williams & Graham built its reputation on exceptional drinks. The bar’s menu features unique creations from their talented team and over 60 classic cocktails with recipes dating back 200 years.

Their impressive collection boasts more than 500 spirits from around the world. The selection ranges from familiar labels to hard-to-find bottles and special editions. Each guest receives a welcome cocktail that changes nightly based on the bartenders’ inspiration.

Bartenders here excel at creating drinks tailored to your taste, mood and priorities. This skill combined with their deep knowledge helped Williams & Graham earn spots on the World’s Top 50 Bar list and win Top Cocktail Bar in the US twice.

Prohibition-Era Atmosphere

Walking inside transports you to the 1920s. Soft lighting bathes the space, casting gentle shadows on red walls and stamped-tin ceilings. The glow reminds you of street lamps on a quiet night.

Cozy seating fills both the bar area and small booths. Conversations mix with laughter, ice clinking, and cocktail shakers to create a natural symphony that elevates the mood.

Sean Kenyon comes from a family of bar owners and knows how to set the perfect mood. His focus on genuine hospitality makes guests feel like part of the staff’s extended family. This welcoming spirit explains why people don’t mind waiting hours to get in.

The bar welcomes guests daily from 5pm until 1am. You can book online, but many guests prefer the authentic speakeasy experience of waiting their turn to step through the bookcase.

The Museum of Miniatures, Dolls, and Toys

The Denver Museum of Miniatures, Dolls and Toys (DMMDT) sits quietly in Lakewood, protecting childhood memories like no other place in the city. This unique museum has been Denver’s trusted keeper of childhood treasures since 1981.

Notable Collections

The museum brings together three amazing collections that weave a captivating story:

  • Miniatures – World-renowned artisans have created stunning pieces from wood, ivory, silver, and gold. Many talented artists featured here hold prestigious International Guild of Miniature Artisans (I.G.M.A.) Fellow titles, including Mary McGrath, Pete Acquisto, Sue Resseguie, Noel Thomas, and Pat Thomas.
  • Dolls – Miss Yokohama stands as the collection’s crown jewel. This Colorado Japanese Friendship Doll from 1927 reaches 81cm tall and features human hair and inset glass eyes, representing Yokohama, Japan beautifully.
  • Toys – The sort of thing I love about this section is how it captures nostalgia from the late 19th century through today. You’ll find everything from handmade Depression-era toys to 8-bit Nintendo systems, showing American culture’s evolution across a century.

The museum houses more than 20,000 objects dating back to 1680, and each visit reveals new treasures.

Special Exhibits

The Fall Show leads the museum’s event calendar with five exciting days of classes, banquets, family programs, and a bustling sales room. March brings the Little Show, where dealers showcase their work alongside door prizes and workshops.

Seasonal exhibits highlight different collection pieces year-round. Winter celebrations feature holiday-themed miniatures and pop-up shops selling local artists’ creations. The museum team sometimes takes their shows to local libraries, hosting spooky Victorian literature readings.

Family-Friendly Activities

This pocket-sized museum delights kids with:

The museum runs regular workshops where families create their own miniatures. Previous projects range from mini-tiki bars to birthday scenes and holiday decorations. Kids can enjoy vintage Nintendo consoles during special “game time” events. The first floor’s hands-on dollhouse and second floor’s Lego play area never fail to excite young visitors.

Families can visit seven days a week. The museum welcomes visitors from 12pm-8pm Friday through Monday and 4pm-8pm Tuesday through Thursday. Free guided tours come with paid admission every third Friday, and private tours need just a quick call ahead.

The museum’s role as a 501(c)(3) organization goes beyond displaying items – they protect and share these childhood treasures to inspire future generations.

RiNo Art District’s Hidden Murals

Colorful murals and vibrant street art now cover the walls of old warehouses in the River North Art District, just north of downtown Denver. Stories unfold at every corner of this creative hub where street artists have turned industrial spaces into stunning works of art.

Self-Guided Mural Tour Routes

RiNo Art District’s website features an interactive map that shows where to find recent murals in the area. Visitors can plan their own walking tours based on what interests them most:

  • Track down all works by their favorite artists
  • Explore specific areas when time runs short
  • Map out driving routes to see more artwork

The Denver Graffiti Tour offers a more structured two-hour walking experience through the district. Guides share stories about the art’s historical, political, and social significance. These tours happen every Saturday and Sunday morning throughout the year. The tour ends at Denver Central Market where guests can grab food and drinks.

Notable Artists and Works

Local talents share wall space with national and international artists throughout the district. Some remarkable pieces include:

Reverberations by Damon Soule and Justin Lovato shows mesmerizing concentric circles in geometric patterns against an otherworldly backdrop on Larimer between 25th and 26th streets.

Larimer Boy and Girl by Jeremy Burns cleverly uses building architecture – the image changes depending on your viewing angle.

Love This City murals by Pat Milbery celebrate Denver Arts Week, with one piece located at Broadway and Arapahoe.

Best Photography Spots

“Art Alley” sits between 26th and 27th near Larimer and Walnut Streets. This spot packs an amazing collection of murals perfect for photos. Another stunning collection lives in the alley parallel to Larimer between 30th and 31st streets.

Photo tips: Wide-angle lenses work best for large murals in tight spaces. Watch your lighting and wear simple clothes that won’t distract from the colorful art.

Seasonal Art Events

Denver Walls (previously known as CRUSH WALLS) stands as Colorado’s biggest urban art festival. Each year, this event brings art from galleries to streets, with over 80 murals created during the festival. Artists from around the world transform the neighborhood while people enjoy special activities and promotions.

First Friday Art Walk lights up the district monthly from 5:30-9:30pm. Food trucks roll in, galleries open their doors, and workshops showcase Denver’s creative community.

Fifty Shades of Blue at the Denver Float Center

Time stands still at this water-filled oasis of peace. Denver Float Center gives you a unique Mile High experience that happens just 10 inches off the ground in total darkness and silence.

The Science of Sensory Deprivation

The float tanks hold 1,000 gallons of water mixed with Epsom salt. This creates a solution so dense that anyone can float without effort. Neuroscientist John C. Lilly started this practice in the 1950s. He found that removing external stimuli had remarkable effects on the mind and body.

Your body experiences Restricted Environmental Stimulation Technique (R.E.S.T.) inside the tank. Your brain shifts from normal Beta waves to Alpha waves, which occur between sleep and wakefulness. It then moves to Theta waves, bringing deep relaxation. Your brain usually spends 90% of its activity calculating movement and gravity. This freedom lets it focus on deeper processes.

Health Benefits of Floating

The benefits go well beyond relaxation:

  • Physical relief: Eases pain from injuries, sore muscles, and chronic conditions like fibromyalgia and arthritis
  • Mental clarity: Reduces blood pressure, stress hormones, and helps you sleep better
  • Athletic performance: Recovery happens up to 4 times faster than bed rest by removing lactate, cortisone, and adrenaline

Studies at the Laureate Institute for Brain Research show that floating helps people connect with internal body signals – called “interoceptive awareness”. The Navy SEAL training facility uses these tanks to speed up learning. They’ve cut foreign language training from six months to six weeks.

First-Timer’s Guide

Skip caffeine before your session. The float center will give you a private suite with a shower and everything you need – ear plugs, vinegar solution for ears, and petroleum jelly for cuts.

Take a shower first, then step into the tank and ease back. Each session runs 90 minutes. This gives your body time to reach complete R.E.S.T.. You might feel some body jolts as you relax deeper – that’s perfectly normal.

A warm shower and hydration should follow your float. Most people feel weightless for hours afterward. They sleep better that night and stay focused for days.

The tanks have plenty of space, so even people with severe claustrophobia feel comfortable. The water runs through filtration systems between each use, keeping everything clean and safe.

Denver Trolley Along the South Platte River

Take a step back in time aboard Denver’s last remaining trolley. This nostalgic ride along the South Platte River shows the city from a completely different view.

Historical Significance

Denver’s rail system was once massive with tracks stretching over 250 miles across the city and 40 miles of high-speed lines connecting to Golden and Boulder. Thousands of riders used this network daily until 1950. Cars and busses eventually replaced the trolley service. The Denver Trolley now stands as a preserved piece of this history and gives visitors a window into transit’s golden age.

The attraction runs on a section of the original trolley paths where Route 84 operated. RTD’s West Corridor light rail to Lakewood and Golden now follows this historic route. Car No. 25, which sparked this preservation effort, remains the last completely intact electric railway car from Denver’s original fleet of more than 250 vehicles.

Scenic Route Highlights

The trolley starts its 25-minute round trip from Confluence Park behind REI. Passengers experience a true “Breezer” – the nickname given to these open-air trolley cars that Denver residents once used for their daily commute.

Key stops include:

  • Downtown Aquarium
  • Children’s Museum of Denver
  • Views of Broncos Stadium at Mile High

The South Platte Greenway route showcases Denver’s skyline and river landscape. This relaxed ride offers a unique alternative to regular sightseeing.

Operating Schedule and Tickets

The 2025 season runs from May 22 through August 11. Service operates Thursday through Monday with no service on Tuesday and Wednesday. Trolleys run from 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM and leave every 30 minutes from Confluence Park. The final trip starts at 5:00 PM.

Ticket prices are simple:

  • Adults (13 and older): $7
  • Children (4-12): $3
  • Children under 4: Free

Football fans can use the special game-day shuttle service. Trolleys run from REI at Confluence Park to Broncos Stadium every 10 minutes. Service starts two hours before kickoff until game time. Return trips begin during the fourth quarter and run until 45 minutes after the game ends. Game-day rides cost $10 per person.

Passengers can buy tickets online or at the trolley before their ride.

The Secret Jail Cell at Coors Field

Most baseball fans at Coors Field enjoy the game from their seats. But a few end up in rooms they never knew existed – and wish they hadn’t discovered. These small spaces rank among Denver’s most unusual hidden spots, though you wouldn’t want a personal tour.

Why It Exists

The stadium has what officials call “holding rooms” where fans who break the rules cool off. Security takes troublemakers to these temporary detention areas until Denver police show up to move them to real jail. The doors don’t have locks, but detainees can’t leave because they’re handcuffed to a bar.

Metal benches make up most of the sparse interior, and that’s by design. The bare-bones setup should make anyone think twice about causing trouble. Anyone who spends time there “will definitely think twice about returning”.

Famous Incidents

These holding cells have seen their share of memorable cases:

  • Two men made headlines in August 2023 when Jefferson Gonzales-Merida, 23, and Carlos Rivelo-Paiz, 21, jumped onto the field. They wanted photos with Atlanta Braves star Ronald Acuña Jr. but ended up knocking him down.
  • A fan tackled Dinger, the Rockies’ mascot (someone in a triceratops costume), back in April that year. Security quickly detained him.
  • Another fan tried running across the field but didn’t get far. A fellow spectator tackled him before security arrived.

Each person faced trespassing and disturbing the peace charges.

How to Spot It During Your Visit

Security keeps these holding rooms out of public view. You might find security areas near the lower concourse levels. Denver has laws against field invasions at Mile High Stadium but nothing specific about Coors Field. The potential risks remain serious for anyone who crosses that line.

This hidden side of Coors Field shows a different face of Denver – a part of this famous ballpark that most visitors should hope they never see firsthand.

Cheesman Park’s Haunted History

Thousands of forgotten souls rest beneath the well-manicured lawns of Cheesman Park. This popular Denver destination ranks among the city’s most haunted spots. Joggers and picnickers spread their blankets here cheerfully, unaware they’re relaxing on top of a massive unmarked grave.

The Cemetery Conversion Story

Mount Prospect Cemetery opened in 1858 on 160 acres of Denver land and served as the city’s first cemetery. The cemetery fell into disrepair by the 1880s, prompting the city to change it into parkland. Congress gave permission for the conversion in 1890 and families had 90 days to move their deceased loved ones.

The nightmare began in 1893. Undertaker E.P. McGovern secured a contract to move the remaining bodies for $1.90 each. Rather than handling relocations with respect, McGovern created a horrific scene. He dismembered bodies and split remains among multiple child-sized coffins to boost his profits.

City officials canceled McGovern’s contract once the scandal came to light. Yet they made an astounding decision – they removed the headstones and built the park anyway, leaving approximately 2,000-3,000 bodies still buried underneath.

Reported Paranormal Activities

Cheesman Park visitors often encounter ghostly phenomena:

  • Shadowy figures drift between trees at dusk, especially children who play and vanish as darkness falls
  • Wailing sounds and disembodied voices pierce the night air
  • Visitors feel watched or followed even in an empty park

A woman in white roams the paths aimlessly, as if searching for her disturbed grave. Human remains surface during construction projects. Workers found four intact skeletons near the park pavilion in 2010.

Best Times for Ghost Hunting

Paranormal activity peaks in October, and several companies run specialized ghost tours. Magpie Paranormal leads two-hour walking tours on weekends before Halloween. Visitors use EMF detectors after dark to find electromagnetic fluctuations tied to spiritual energy.

Full moonlight reveals outlines of former graves. Ghost hunters who want to experience the park’s spooky side can join guided investigations. Expert guides lead groups through dark paths while sharing stories about the land’s grim history.

The Denver Money Museum’s $30 Million Display

The Denver Money Museum stands out from other attractions by giving away free money to its visitors. You’ll find this hidden gem at the Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City’s Denver Branch, where visitors get a unique close-up look at money.

What You’ll See Inside

A massive wall of $100 bills totaling $30 million steals the show. The Federal Reserve created this impressive display for just $7,000-$8,000 by printing the money themselves. Many visitors stand amazed before the historic currency collection, which includes a genuine $100,000 bill—the largest denomination that ever spread through U.S. history.

The museum showcases the rise of U.S. currency with bills dating back to 1775. The exhibits let visitors explore the payments system and learn how the Federal Reserve maintains a healthy economy. This museum draws around 60,000 people each year, making it the most visited money museum in the Federal Reserve System.

Interactive Exhibits

The museum goes beyond regular displays with hands-on activities. Visitors can touch and smell real currency at the redesigned counterfeit exhibit to learn detection methods. A popular touchscreen station lets kids and adults design their own money and put their picture on it.

The museum features these interactive elements:

  • Money personality quiz
  • Budget, saving, and credit fitness interactive walls
  • Job and income displays

Visitors can download an app that serves as a self-guided tour, available in both adult and kid versions. Creative minds stay busy at tables stocked with supplies to make rubbings and design custom currency.

Free Souvenir Money Bags

The highlight of this Denver treasure comes at the end—each visitor receives a free bag of shredded money. These souvenir bags contain about $165 worth of currency unfit for circulation. The money becomes compost if not used for souvenirs, making these takeaways educational and eco-friendly.

The museum website shows it’s closed until further notice. Visitors can check their online exhibitions to learn about currency worldwide. The museum will remain free to visit once it reopens.
