Can you share your ideal day-trip itinerary for someone visiting Aurora for the first time? What are the must-see attractions and hidden gems you would recommend?

Parent Kid Addition: Head to Stanley Market Place! Grab some breakfast to go at Denver Biscuit Co. or Rosenberg Bagels. Walk around back and sit at one of the tables at LuBirds Light inclusive playground. Eat and let the kids play! After, head to one of the rec centers and go for a little swim. Eat lunch at Golden Flame Hot Wings and then head over to Hampden Run Park to play. Get a babysitter for the night and Uber to Launch Pad Brewery. Grab a beer and whatever local food truck is available.

Aurora is home to a thriving culinary scene. When dining out in Aurora, what are some of your favorite restaurants or eateries that you would recommend to visitors looking to experience the local cuisine?

For Breakfast: French Press-love their breakfast burrito
For Coffee: Lucy Coffee or Milly's Community Cafe. 
For Lunch: Lucky Bird or Tacos El Metate. 
For Dinner: Try Pearl of Siam, a hidden gem. The owners are amazing, and the food is so good! Then, check out BB.Q Chicken and Mason's Dumpling!

Shopping is often a highlight of travel experiences. Where are some of your favorite spots to shop for unique, locally-made goods or one-of-a-kind finds in Aurora?

Try Rocket Fizz Candy Shop on Havana Street and Mainstreet Boutique in Southlands! 

Aurora is surrounded by stunning natural landscapes. Do you have a favorite outdoor activity or park in Aurora that you would recommend to travelers seeking outdoor adventures?

Definitely visit Red Tail Hawk Park. It includes one inclusive playground, trails, and even a hidden playground! Of course, I recommend camping, playing, swimming, and hanging at Cherry Creek State Park, too.
