Lakewood, CO – Best Western Denver Southwest
Sometimes you don’t even have to leave the hotel on a dinosaur trip to see something great! I don’t know how the Best Western in Lakewood got permission from corporate to dino-theme their hotel, but it looks fantastic!

The easiest choice was the National Museum of Nature and...

The National Dinosaur museum is a very kid-friendly...
