Mix biz with pleasure in naturalistic Broomfield
Just outside of Denver, Broomfield really gets this whole mixing business with pleasure thing. You’ll book your Broomfield vacation rental for the fab views, proximity to major mountains, and outdoor activities, but you can just as easily catch a flick, dine your heart out, or attend a major convention for work. It’s a mixed bag of everything fabulous, and it’s especially renowned for its tech sector and lively arts scene. The job market booms here too, and as such it’s a major draw for young families who want to be near the action without drowning in it.
Broomfield: a town for all ages
Truly a town for all ages, Broomfield doesn’t discriminate in its wide range of fun attractions. While kids dive into the waves at Water World, grownups may be more at ease exploring the vast parkland at Carolyn Holmberg Preserve at Rock Creek Farm. Or gather the troops and visit the Broomfield Depot Museum, which celebrates the area’s iconic railroad system while tracing its fascinating history. The Broomfield Veterans Memorial Museum showcases various military campaigns, while the Spirit of Flight Center is by far the community’s most impressive aviation museum.
Serenity now--or adventure, excitement, and killer views
If you’re all about serenity, Broomfield is the perfect space to lose yourself—fishing, picnicking, and strolling the regional lake parks are ideal activities in this peaceful space. Behemoth outlets and malls can easily fill a shopping junkie’s day, while area spas offer incredible Rocky Mountain views. Dive bars and gastro pubs provide fun opportunities to catch live music any night of the week. If you’re feeling far more adventurous, though, a balloon ride or an air tour gives you epic views of the entire landscape from the world’s most impressive vantage point.
