This place is super amazing they have several dozen water fountains that shoot water anywhere from a foot to 6 or 7 feet in the air It's very clean an well kept an security guards are present They have a live band on certain days I'm not sure which days they do but I would imagine that in the summer time they are there quite often They have this concrete wall thing that surrounds the water fountain area so that the parents or guardians can sit relax an keep an eye on the little ones while they play Many trees are also there for anyone that decides they don't wanna get wet but would like to stay cool The area is full of different restaurants an shops for those that wanna eat an buy souvenirs There were a quite a few people also an I can't imagine that it can get packed out there so jus a heads up Parking is kinda a issue you may have to park a little ways away an walk from your vehicle Overall I say this place is a great place for a date an family fun I definitely would return if I am back in Denver it a go to bucket list place
