In need of anniversary ideas in Colorado? Colorado is famous for its stunning natural vistas and outdoor areas, which facilitate all kinds of adventures—from hiking to rock climbing to snowboarding, and much more! And even if you’re not outdoorsy, Colorado is a fantastic place to spend your anniversary, because there’s so much to do in this scenic state.
No matter your budget, the date when your anniversary falls, or your and your partner’s other priorities and preferences, there are sure to be tons of anniversary ideas in Colorado that’ll work for you—and at least a few of the ideas on this list will provide some great inspo, even if they don’t end up being your final pick.
As you read and contemplate the potential location of your celebrations, remember that Peerspace is the internet’s largest marketplace for renting venues and other kinds of spaces by the hour—which also makes it the best platform for discovering venues and more in Colorado (and beyond) to make your anniversary celebrations extra special. We’ll highlight some examples of anniversary-appropriate Peerspaces throughout the state as we share our suggestions for the best anniversary ideas in Colorado!
1. See the impressive collections at the Denver Art Museum
The Denver Art Museum is especially well known for its collections of Native American and Asian art. However, you can also find art from around the world at this world-class museum. It’s certainly one of the best museums in the state, if not the country! Take a look at the museum’s calendar for upcoming events like lectures and performances to see if anything on offer appeals to you.
2. Plan an anniversary party at a Peerspace venue in Colorado
We already mentioned that Peerspace is the most effective way to streamline your search for the perfect venue. That’s why using a Peerspace venue as the location for a fabulous anniversary party with friends, family, and loved ones is one of our top anniversary ideas in Colorado (or anywhere, frankly!).
Here are some great examples of Peerspaces in Colorado. They should give you an idea of what the state has to offer when it comes to venues:
- This clubhouse in Denver with a skyline view (pictured above) is an amazing deal at just $110 per hour. It also offers numerous amenities: a TV, kitchen necessities like oven/sink/minifridge, games like ping pong and shuffleboard, and even a real fireplace. It’s a cozy oasis for you and your anniversary party guests!
- This A-frame mountain cabin in Salida is another space with fantastic views, this time of the mountains rather than the city of Denver. It’s a classic cabin that is surrounded by aspen trees and, in winter, snow-capped mountains. The home has a kitchen, dining area, full bathroom, wood stove, and a second-story bedroom with a king bed, as well as space for up to 36 people in its 500 square feet.
- This chic event space in Colorado Springs is located near the world-famous Garden of the Gods, but it has lots more to offer than its proximity to a famous landmark.
Search Peerspace for yourself to customize your search results according to your exact specifications using the platform’s array of intuitive yet detailed filters.
3. Take your partner apple picking
If the season is right, then a trip to go apple picking is an amazingly romantic anniversary idea in Colorado. Find an orchard near you that offers pick-your-own apples and go visit! For example, here are some recommended orchards if you live in the northern part of the state.
4. See 7,000 bug specimens at the May Natural History Museum in Colorado Springs
Of course, not everyone will be fascinated by bugs, but those who are will appreciate the May Natural History Museum’s collection. It includes one of the world’s largest private displays of tropical bugs.

5. Go hiking in the Rocky Mountains
If you and your partner enjoy outdoorsy adventures, visit the Rocky Mountains for an opportunity to experience breathtaking natural vistas as well as the possibility of seeing elk, moose, bighorn sheep, and other majestic wildlife.
6. And stay at the Stonebrook Resort on Fall River while you’re there
The Stonebrook Resort on Fall River is widely known as a perfectly romantic getaway for couples in nature, featuring private outdoor hot tubs looking out over Fall River as well as hiking trails that connect directly to nearby Rocky Mountain National Park.
7. Or in bad weather, try indoor rock climbing
Since Colorado residents are known for their love of athletic activities, both indoors and out, you probably have a rock climbing gym near you (especially if you live in a big city like Denver). Alternatively, you could look for bouldering gyms—this is a style of rock climbing that’s focused on challenging horizontal climbing, rather than the standard vertical climbing most people are familiar with.
8. Try a tasting at Stranahan’s Whiskey Distillery and Cocktail Bar in Denver
You might expect a distillery to offer whiskey tastings, but what about whiskey and chocolate tastings? That’s a level of decadence worthy of an anniversary celebration!
9. Explore the stunning Yampa River Botanic Park
Especially if you live nearby in Northwest Colorado, visiting the six-acre Yampa River Botanic Park is sure to make your anniversary an extra special occasion. It contains more than 40 gardens as well as ponds, berms, and much more.
10. Experience adrenaline rushes at Glenwood Caverns Adventure Park
Especially in the summer, some couples find that a trip to a theme park is a fun way to celebrate a big milestone like an anniversary—it’ll bring back fond memories of childhood roller coaster rides and carnival food. Glenwood Caverns Adventure Park offers all that, plus the status of being the country’s only mountaintop theme park, which means amazing views on top of the screams and thrills of exciting rides.
11. See a show at Red Rocks Park and Amphitheatre
Also known more simply as Red Rocks, this open-air amphitheater ten miles southwest of Denver is located among a jaw-dropping set of natural rock formations, creating an otherworldly ambiance that enhances whatever performance you see at this venue. Check out their upcoming schedule on their website.
12. Explore the River North Art District (RiNo) in Denver
It’s worth visiting Denver simply to explore the city’s River North Art District, also known as RiNo (in honor of the whimsical name, it even has a rhino as its official logo). This neighborhood’s former warehouses and factories have been revamped for businesses like breweries, jazz bars, restaurants, art galleries, art studios, museums, and even more. Additional businesses you’ll find here include winemaking, small-scale coffee roasting, outdoor gear production, and furniture making. And there’s colorful street art to be found on practically every block of RiNo!

13. Go shopping at the biggest comic book store in the United States
Were you aware that Denver was home to the country’s largest comic book store? Mile High Comics is a 45,000-square-foot warehouse with an estimated 10 million comics on sale. In addition to comics, they also sell toys and an eclectic assortment of other items. While you’re here, make sure to head upstairs to see the owner’s collection of Pueblo and southwestern art on display.
14. Visit one of the best hot springs in Colorado
Colorado is home to a total of 93 thermal sites, 30 of which also have surrounding hot springs facilities that make them true destinations. To help you decide which to visit, these are Travel + Leisure’s top eight picks for Colorado hot springs.
15. Look at real 90s zines at the Denver Zine Library
If you’re looking for something to do that’s not only free, but that also scratches that 90s nostalgia itch, head to the Denver Zine Library to look through their collection of over 20,000 alternative/indie zines. You can find the zine library in the Bob Ragland Branch of the Denver Public Library. While you’re there, you’re allowed to check out up to five zines at a time, allowing you to bring home some of the nostalgia for yourself.
16. Find a scenic outdoor event venue on Peerspace where you and your partner can have a luxurious picnic
