Live Life in Denver

Denver offers a wonderful setting for older adults to hone wellness, explore culture, and build community—whether you enjoy botanical gardens, museums, scenic trails, or lifelong learning.

Begin with the Denver Botanic Gardens in the Cheesman Park neighborhood—a 24-acre oasis of paved walking paths, themed gardens, and a sensory garden designed with raised beds and gentle inclines for easier access. Mobility scooters and trams are available, and older adults receive discounted admission.

For arts and culture, the Denver Art Museum offers expansive galleries, docent-led tours, and access programs such as "Low Sensory Mornings" and “Just for Fun” guided visits tailored for cognitive or mobility considerations. 

Staying active is easy along Denver's scenic greenways—City Park, Sloan’s Lake, and the Platte River Trail all offer flat, paved paths for walking, wheelchair use, or slow cycling with Denver’s skyline or mountain views nearby. 

For guided learning and enrichment, the Osher Lifelong Learning Institute at the University of Denver (OLLI at DU) provides a wide range of non-credit courses for adults 50+, covering wellness, art, history, and more. No exams, no grades—just engagement and connection both in person across metro sites and online.

Creative older adults can discover the Art Students League of Denver, which offers non-degree art classes in mediums like painting and ceramics, all paced for hobbyists and older learners. 

For more engaging outings, the Denver Museum of Nature & Science and Denver Zoo offer gentle indoor environments and level, paved walks through exhibits and animal habitats; both venues offer senior discounts and accessible routes. 

Whether you're wandering tranquil gardens, absorbing local art, or joining a life-enhancing class, Denver supports older adults in living well—every walk, gallery visit, and lecture bringing new connection and purpose.
