Everyone loves a surprise, or even something that is just different from the norm. Let's face it, you can get the normal everyday routine back home. Why would you travel all over the world seeking more of the same? No, when you go on your vacation or your travels, you want to stumble upon something new and exciting, something that you have never heard of, seen, done, or experienced before. Variety is, after all, the spice of life, and we all want a spicy life. If you are looking for the strange and unusual, look no further than the borders of the intriguing and mysterious city of Denver Colorado.

The Other Denver: Oh, Colorado has the normal average attractions for the vacation traveler who needs no more than that. There are plenty of amusement parks, museums, and usual vacation stuff that you are used to. Nevertheless, there is another side of Denver that most people never stumble upon. It is simply referred to as "The Other Denver." Let us take a look at an average night in the other Denver.

A Meal and a Mystery: Your evening would start out with Dinner, of course, at the Adams Mystery Playhouse. However, this is not your usual steak and potatoes establishment with nice waiters. One of the staff may just be a bloodthirsty killer! The Adams Mystery Playhouse is an interactive restaurant/theatre. You come and sit down with the actors and enjoy a real meal with fine cuisine. During the meal, however, you become involved as a mystery of one sort or another unfolds before you. You can sit there and watch, as you enjoy your tasty meal, or you can actually get involved and attempt to solve the mystery. This is truly a night of food and fun, with a heaping side order of adventure!

Run Away from the Runway: Then, after that enjoyable experience, you can delve into an even darker side of Denver by taking a trip to the airport. Of course, no one would expect there to be anything unusual at an airport that is until you go to the underground base. This is a long massive hallway that is decorated with artistically painted murals. Of course, this is very unusual art, as it tends to lean a bit towards the darker side of the human muse. The wall is covered with hundreds of murals, paintings of such subject matter as dead bodies in coffins, a burning city, a massive German soldier in a gas mask, and more. This sight truly is art, but it takes an individual with a strong resolve to see it as so.

The Haunted Park: This is just the beginning. Denver has long been a hotspot for the strange and unusual, such as the Cheesman Park. This area is considered to be Denver's most haunted area. There have also been numerous alien sightings there. To top it all off, the park is built upon the cemetery where the original citizens of Detroit are buried. This is a perfect spot for a spooky midnight outing.

When you are finished with your old school vacations to average beaches in average destinations and are ready for a peak below the surface, head to Denver Colorado and visit the 'Other Denver.'
