When you are planning a Colorado travel adventure with the kids, you’ll find great sightseeing, attractions, and activities in the towns and cities all over the state.
The biggest metropolitan areas in Colorado line the Front Range. These cities include Denver, Colorado Springs, Boulder, Pueblo, and Fort Collins.
The western third of the state is home to Grand Junction and Durango, Colorado. If you are traveling with your kids on the eastern prairies of Colorado, you can visit Sterling and, along the Arkansas River Valley in southeastern Colorado, La Junta and Lamar.
Some of Colorado’s most visited cities are really small towns of the central mountains. Famous ski towns like Aspen, Steamboat Springs, and Vail come easily to mind, but local favorites like Glenwood Springs and Leadville also offer traveling families plenty of fun at a more realistic price.
