Top Restaurants in Denver

If you're planning to take photos, I recommend going when the aquarium first opens at 10 AM. The lighting is great and it’s less crowded for those perfect shots!

Check out the feeding times for the sharks and rays. It's a super cool experience, and you won't want to miss it. They can get packed, so look at the schedule ahead!

Bring a water bottle! The inside can get a bit stuffy, and it's nice to stay hydrated while wandering around. Plus, it saves you a few bucks on drinks

Grab a combo ticket for the aquarium and the restaurant. It’s a bit cheaper than buying them separately, and you won't have to rush between the two!

My advice is to make reservations if you can, especially on weekends. We had to wait a long time to get a table, and I wish I had planned ahead to avoid standing around.

Oh, and don’t skip the dessert! The chocolate cake was a highlight for me. I think sharing is the way to go again since it’s pretty rich, unless you have a sweet tooth – then go for it!

If you're going for the unique game meats, I suggest sharing a couple of platters with friends. That way you get to taste more without blowing your budget on a huge meal. Trust me, the portions are generous!

Definitely try to arrive around 5 PM if you can. I found it much less crowded that early, and the staff seemed more relaxed and attentive. Plus, you can enjoy a more peaceful dinner!
