    Four Mile Historic Park - Bright Nights on August 27, 2025

    We just moved to the area and were looking for something to do. I found out Denver has many free…read moreevents. So, this is the first one we attended. I brought my 16, 5, 2 and NB. They greeted us immediately and gave us a map of the property. We had fun walking around and checking out the animals and historic buildings on site. It is wild this place is right in the middle of a neighborhood. The only issue we had was parking because we the lot is full you're out of options.

    Wow, my yesterday's visit to this historic park was so mesmerizing. It's because of their annual…read more(?) "Bright Nights" (originally a lantern festival.) It is said that they unveil a brand new theme each year and this year's theme appears to be focused on some Eastern cultures such as cherry blossom and bamboo forest with pandas. Not that I have been to many lights shows and yet I must say that I have never seen anything quite like this as far as my recollection is accurate. In its 12-acre land, the installations of lantern lights are everywhere. After 8:30pm or so when it's dark, the illuminations from the lanterns are glowing brighter than Las Vegas' illuminations (LOL - why am I comparing this to Las Vegas!!) According to the park's website, some of the sculptures are 23-foot tall (such as the cherry blossom gate.) It's currently open from Wednesday through Sunday until October 5th. And last night's was one of the adult-only nights where you must be 21+ to enter (I believe the next and last such night is Sept 17th. And this writing is as of late August of 2025.) I am already curious as to what the next year's theme is going to be. There is a centralized bar, some food vendors, a stage where a performer performs, and a DJ booth. Great for family time, girls' night or date night. Helpful staff were working tirelessly to assist all visitors. Although about 1,300 tickets were sold last night, it was never super jammed packed. There is still time to visit this enchanting light show. Not only for the locals but definitely one of the must-visit attractions for out-of-staters as well.

    Don't ask me why this was the #1 thing I really wanted to see during my first trip to Denver of my…read morelife! Blucifer is just such a wild sculpture and has such a morbid history around it (Blucifer literally killed the artist when a piece of it that the artist was installing fell and punctured him right in his femoral artery). It's truly so odd in both placement and vibe. You can't miss it as you leave the Denver airport, you will always pass by it. It's located essentially in the middle giant island of a highway up on a hill. It's a whole royal blue colored mustang horse rearing up on its hind legs with red eyes that shine red at all hours of the day. Truly a devil horse LOL! It's definitely a sight to see, but I'm disappointed in the fact that you can't get close to it. There's no pathway to drive up close to it like a tourist stop and like I mentioned, with its located in the middle of a highway, there is really no option to pull off to the side to stop and check it out, so it also feels a bit impossible to appreciate it and take a good picture of it! Given how excited I was to see it for myself, this was a huge bummer that I had been anticipating being able to get close to it, but ultimately falling very very short of that. Still such a sight to behold though!

    This 32 foot tall horse guards the entrance to Denver International Airport. A bright blue with…read moreglowing neon eyes, ain't nobody going to mess with this place! And yes, his nickname is "Blucifer" and - no kidding - he killed the artist. Yes, in 2006, a huge portion of the sculpture fell and injured the sculptor. There is no stopping or standing or parking on Peña Boulevard. There is no parking nearby. Getting to this statue is a PITA. The local cops will definitely try to move you along. If they could just have some sort of "15 minute parking only" nearby, that would be awesome. [Review 18980 overall - 80 in Colorado - 2504 of 2022.]

There are several bars and a nice restaurant on-site. I was upgraded to the executive suite and it was very spacious and comfortable. It included 1.5 baths, 1 bedroom and living room with dining area! There was also a standalone tub and a spacious shower. I was concerned that the metro being right outside the living room area would be noisy but I didn't hear it at all! The check in was easy with dedicated line for Bonvoy elite members. The staff were nice and efficient. Would definitely stay again!

About a 5-minute walk to check-in/luggage drop area. -Note for cat owners: There's a lot of hiding spots for cats, so if you have an early flight, set aside extra time to herd them out. Luckily, one of our cats hid in the bathroom the entire time and the other has decent recall and would come out of underneath the bed when called.
