I'd have to agree with Casa Bonita being a tourist trap. I used to love it as a kid growing up -- never understood why my parents dreaded it. Once I went as an adult, I decided to never go back. Obviously any resident of Colorado knows how awful the food it. It's extremely dirty there and it's definitely easy to spend a lot of money there between the arcade, old time photos and all the other "goodies" you can spend money on. I agree with the Aquarium as well. Took my kids there last summer because they'd never been and I wasn't sure about what had changed since they were bought and rebranded. Way overpriced for a place you can walk through in half an hour. I'd rather go spend that kind of money at the Denver Zoo and be able to spend at least half a day there.
