This place can get very busy, so try not to go when you're on the verge of hangry. The line tends to move along pretty quickly, however.

RTD - light rail and buses, Lyft, Uber
Denver has great public transportation. The RTD light rail can take you to many of the Denver Metro areas. The Lakewood-Wadsworth light rail station is about a 4 minute drive. Once there, the W line can take you down to Union Station in Downtown Denver or you can select from the many other lines to head wherever you'd like. Find additional info here: https://www.rtd-denver.com/
Lyft and Uber are also convenient ways to get around the city. They are usually available within a few minutes and can easily get you from point A to B. We frequently use Lyft and have no complaints as of yet.

Drink lots of water! Prepare for quickly changing weather.
- The humidity level is quite low in our beautiful state and it is easy to get dehydrated. Ensure you pack along extra water for trips or bring a reusable water bottle.
- Bring along sunscreen, wear layers, and grab an umbrella. Although Colorado gets over 300 days of sunshine per year, we do tend to have our random showers that seem to come out of nowhere.
