THINGS TO DO ALL WEEKEND LONG
The following will be open throughout Labor Day Weekend, making it easy to plan your laid-back adventures in Aurora.
Visit the Colorado Freedom Memorial
The towering glass panels of the Colorado Freedom Memorial honor men and women who’ve given the ultimate sacrifice. However, it’s no ordinary military monument. The Colorado Freedom Memorial is the first American memorial dedicated to every Coloradoan killed or missing in action from the 1898 Spanish American War. The monument is situated within a four-acre park complete with green space and walking path for visitors. Located at 756 Telluride St. in Aurora, the outdoor Colorado Freedom Memorial is open from sunrise to sunset, and social distancing is required.
Reservoir Fun
Have one last beach day before the season comes to a close. Quincy, Aurora, and Cherry Creek Reservoirs are open for public use – just make sure you get there early! Many are on a first-come, first-serve basis. Enjoy the white sand beaches at Aurora Reservoir or try out paddle boarding at Cherry Creek State Park. All three of Aurora’s reservoirs are filled with fresh-water and home to dozens of local birds, fish, and other sea creatures.
