5 Things You Must Do In Aurora

Aurora Car Rentals

Aurora seems to be  a popular name for a town in the U.S., but this is the one located in the mountains and fresh air of Colorado. A seasoned culture and sights to see give this place a personality all it's own.

1. Follow the spotlights- down to the Aurora Fox Arts Center for live theatre, children’s theatre classes, Shakespeare for teens, workshops in stage combat and more in an elegant, old style cinema building. And if you’ve never sung along to ‘Moby Dick, the Musical’ what are you waiting for!

2. Search- Find the100 items in the city’s public art collection – some are obvious street sculptures, but there are others a little more hidden away. Go to the web site http://www.auroragov.org/stellent/groups/public/documents/article-publication/021796.pdf  for a map of their sites. Will you have the stamina to find them all?

3. Enjoy Great Music- During the summer months take a picnic to the park for the Banks in Harmony concerts. Music from pop, country and western and calypso to swing bands and for some reason you get a free balloon. What more could you ask for! Details from the Chamber of Commerce.

4. Go back in time- Travel back a 100 years on the Silver Plume Railroad Excursion. It will take you to historic Georgetown for shopping and sightseeing.

5. See the Thomas F.Gilligan House- Built in Spanish mission style as a show home for electrical appliances. 15,000 people toured the house when it opened. It is now a residential health care facility.
