Let’s go to the movies! With so many watching everything on a small screen nowadays, fewer people are going to the movies to experience the big screen. However, there is something special about sitting in a darkened theatre and munching on buttery popcorn. When the lights go down, the film begins to flicker and the high-quality audio surrounds you, you’re transported to another world. [Read more…] about 11 Movies Available!

Indoor Play Areas for Kids Around Denver
When the kiddos are bored or the weather is being uncooperative (too hot or too cold) you may be looking for a place for them to play. This list of indoor play areas around Denver should come in handy.
I’ve included all sorts of activities, some free and some with an admission fee. For some of the pricier attractions, I noted if there’s a Groupon available (and you should always check Groupon yourself for those not marked, as new Groupons pop up from time to time). Also keep in mind memberships are a great way to save big.
This list is by no means comprehensive as there are a gazillion spots across the metro area. A few spots have closed in the last year, others are still to re-open. Know of something that should be in the list? Just email laura@milehighonthecheap.com. [Read more…] about Indoor Play Areas for Kids Around Denver
