     Casa Bonita in Denver, CO

    While the girls and I were visited family in Colorado we took the kids to Casa Bonita’s in Denver.  Renelle, Eric, the girls, and I met up with our other family members at Casa Bonita (my parents, Uncle Rick, Aunt Mary Ann, Laurel, and Erik).  I remember going to Casa Bonita’s when I was in Junior High, but our girls have never been to the restaurant.  It is about what I remembered!  It is a unique adventure if you have kids.  You don’t necessarily go for the fine dining, but the entertainment is fun for the kids.  The girls thought it was AWESOME!

    Casa Bonita is Mexican food with a lot of fun kid activities:

    • 30 Foot Waterfall
    • Cliff Divers go off the waterfall every few minutes
    • Stage Shows – rescuing the princess
    • Musicians
    • Arcade
    • Black Bart’s Hideout
    • Stalagmite Caves
    • Jail
    • Pinata
    • Pinata fun for the kids
    • And more activities!

    If you are looking for a fun place to check out in Denver with the kids this may be a good spot.  The food is okay, but you really go for the atmosphere as much as the meal.

    Black Bart’s Hideout was NOT a favorite of the girls.  I have one that really doesn’t like being scared nor does she like skeletons so this was one area she was not a fan of in Casa Bonita.

    Uncle Eric and Aunt Renelle bought some arcade tokens.  The girls really don’t go to the arcade so this was an extra special treat.  They had a grand time on this game stomping on the “spiders”!
