Part of the Metropolitan Denver Area, Westminster has a central location between two Colorado hubs, Denver and Boulder, and is only a 30-minute drive away from Denver International Airport. The Butterfly Pavilion and Insect Center is a major Westminster attraction, offering an opportunity to watch the interaction of more than 1,200 free-flying butterflies in a tropical conservatory. Another ideal family attraction is the Westminster Promenade, as it features a lake, hiking and biking trails, playgrounds and outdoor restaurants. To learn about Westminster's culture, visit the Bowles House Museum, which takes visitors on a digital walk through the city's past. Also, enjoy visual performances and concert series offered by the North Metro Arts Alliance throughout the year. Held every Thursday, the Bradburn Village Farmers' Market is a Westminster tradition, featuring fresh produce, organic products and over 25 food vendors. And for more shopping opportunities, do not miss Westminster Mall, boasting over 140 stores, unique boutiques and well-known department stores.
