COLORADO For Culture Lovers & Creative Types Colorado cities’ wealth of cultural options cater to couples seeking enriching date nights. Art aficionados in Denver won’t want to miss the world-class exhibitions at the Denver Art Museum , including the 2024’s “Biophilia: Nature Reimagined,” or the kaleidoscopic art immersion of Meow Wolf . Looking for less of a time commitment? MCA Denver is a smaller, contemporary-art museum that still packs a punch. Bonus: Take in the fantastic city views from the rooftop cafe. Theater enthusiasts can catch live musicals, comedies and dramas at the Colorado Springs Fine Arts Center at Colorado College , the Longmont Theatre Company and Pueblo’s Steel City Theatre Company . The Lincoln Center in Fort Collins presents everything from Aztec dance fusion to Beethoven and pop music under the same roof as an art gallery with rotating exhibitions. Boulder’s Dairy Arts Center presents art-house cinema each month, in addition to dance, theater, exhibitions and classes. For a one-of-a-kind adventure when in Denver and Colorado Springs, take a short detour to an Art-o-Mat location. These repurposed cigarette-vending machines dispense miniature, one-of-a-kind art pieces created by local artists. It’s an opportunity to explore diverse communities and neighborhoods while supporting the local art scene. All Colorado cities are prime spots for taking in live music — with many outrageously scenic concert spots that performers regularly prioritize on their tours, as well as intimate and historical venues that get you up close to your rock ‘n’ roll idols. Colorado Ballet CAR-FREE TRAVEL You don’t need a car to experience the boundless wonders of Colorado when buses, shuttles, light rails, trains, and ride-and bike-shares are easily found. So kick back, play a card game or watch a movie as glorious mountainscapes pass you by. Colorado.com/Carless FROM TOP: CHAD CHISHOLM; JONATHAN PHILLIPS Meow Wolf Denver COLORADO . COM 107
