What are three of the most unique ways for groups to experience Denver’s history?
-
Denver Inside and Out Tour: A scavenger hunt is a great way to see downtown Denver and Inside and Out does a great job. The company breaks groups up into teams, each of which has to use clues to solve some of Denver’s biggest crimes. As they are walking around town, the company places actors in period dress along the way, and they act out street theater scenes, helping to shed light on the infamous, historic sequences of events. It is a great team-building activity.
-
Banjo Billy’s Bus Tour: The Banjo Billy’s Bus Tour is really fun and a totally unique way to see Denver. After loading into the bus, which is filled with a couch, saddles and recliners for meeting delegates to sit in, a guide takes the group to various places around town, all the while explaining history, infamous stories of crime and Denver ghost tales. To mix it up a bit, passengers get to vote on what places they’d like to hear and stories they’d like told. This is another fun team-building option and is perfect for a group of up to 25 people.
- D & F Clock Tower: The D & F Clock Tower was built in 1911 as the tallest building west of the Mississippi (measuring 393 feet) and the site of the Daniels & Fisher Department Store until the early ’50s. For the next 20 years, the clock tower fell into disrepair, but today has been refurbished to its original splendor and welcomes groups for private events with incredible views of the city.
