We are staying at the Stapleton Radisson and looking for a day outing--we arrive around 1030 and have all day. We can rent a car or perhaps a hotel shuttle to downtown--any recommendations for 3 adults? Thanks

Kate, What city, state is this in?????

denver, co..

It is a fairly short drive to downtown from the Radisson to Downtown, you can take a cab rather than rent a car for the day. Lodo is an area downtown filled with shops, galleries, bars, restaurants. The 16th street mall has the same as well. There is a free shuttle that runs the length of the mall. If the weather permits there is a number of fun places to eat outside. For sports fans the ESPN Zone is great place to watch the games.

Of Lodo or 16th St Mall, which would you choose?

You can do both easily. If you want some "world class shopping" you can go to Cherry Creek Mall also.

Kate, as Gretchen said you can do both, they are only a couple of blocks apart.
