15 Best Things To Do in Aurora, Colorado

Picture of Aurora, Colorado

About Aurora, Colorado


While its neighboring cities, Lakewood and Denver, have substantially modernized, Aurora has retained its small-town charm, making it the perfect destination for visitors who want to enjoy a town-like wholesomeness in a big city.

The Morrison Nature Center in the city showcases a wide array of Colorado’s natural aspects, including local costumes and field guides. Plus, there are birdwatching stations and feeding platforms for visitors who might be interested in getting closer to the local animals.

On the flip side, Aurora also has a number of human-made attractions, such as the Southlands Lifestyle Center, which is perfect for retail therapy with its plentiful shops and eateries.

On the whole, the city’s development - from start to now - is preserved and on display in the Aurora History Museum, which is an ode to the city’s eclectic artifacts and historical relics.
