Real Cool Colorado Places for Curious Kids

Rating:
Summary: Go to your local visitor's center
Review: If you live in Colorado, I would NOT buy this book. It has no unusual or unrecognized destinations. Any of the information in this book can be obtained at your local visitor's center. If you live out of Colorado, or if you just prefer to spend the money on a bound copy of visitor info, this book is fine. Be aware that the educational content is geared to older (pre-teen) levels. Also, this book covers all of Colorado, so these are not daytrip destinations. The authors have the right idea, but I would like to see them issue some regional guides, e.g. Denver/Boulder area, Western Slope, Southwest Colorado, Colorado Springs area, and include some out of the way and more intriguing trips.

Summary: Very Cool!
Review: This book is a great help in planning family vacations. It is easy to read and is very clear when describing activities/areas to visit/interesting info... It offers information about places that includes wildlife, nature, history, even questions that you and your child can try to answer as you visit these places.
