2. The Great Sand Dunes National Park:

National Parks have always been a must in Colorado, one of our favorites allows for some kid friendly activities that are sure to be a hit.

The Great Sand Dunes National Park is an amazing location to keep everyone in the family busy. With sandboarding, sand sledding, castle making and swimming, this location has so much to do. The minimum age is three and up for this hot spot. Located in Alamosa, the southern most end of Colorado, this area is a little warmer than most.
