Denver is more than skiing and hiking, though those are great activities to try while you’re in town. The mind-bending Santa Fe art experience “Meow Wolf” has installed a psychedelic ride called “Kaleidoscape” at Elitch Gardens Theme and Water Park as a precursor to a permanent $50 million “Meow Wolf” installation to come in 2021.
