Top 3 Things to do in Arvada

Motto: “We dream big – and deliver”

1. Explore rare and vintage cars at the Cussler Museum

The Cussler museum has an extensive collection of old cars dating from 1906 to 1965. Owner Clive Cussler began buying and fixing up cars as a teenager, and as he wrote coffee table books about vintage cars he was able to save up enough to open the museum to show off his collection. The museum is open Monday through Thursday during the summer months.

2. Visit the Apex Center

The Apex is the perfect place for a family, especially those with younger kids. Inside contains an enormous water park, including slides, waterfalls, and a beach. If you’re not feeling up for swimming, the Apex also has a rock climbing wall, ice rinks, a gymnasium, and classes. Arvada residents receive discounted rates on admissions and classes.

3. Play Archery Dodgeball at Archery Games Denver

For an action-packed experience, head over to Archery Games, located just east of Olde Town. Their indoor venue combines the rules of dodgeball with bows and foam-tipped arrows. Each session starts with an introduction to shooting the bow, making it popular for those with no prior archery experience. Archery Dodgeball is ages 7+, but Archery Games also offers Nerf Wars on Sundays for ages 6+.
