Best Mom And Son Date Ideas In Denver
By Katherine Bostick
There's nothing quite like a "mama's boy" who really knows what Mom would enjoy for a special Mother's Day outing.
Skip the flowers and chocolates, instead take in a stage play, go to a concert or a take a walk through nature. Really switch things up with dinner instead of brunch.

If flowers are one of Mom's passions, then take her to a spot that will delight her senses on your mother and son date on Mother's Day. The
Denver Botanic Gardens on York Street is 24 acres filled with plants from around the world. The Laura Smith Porter Plains Garden showcases plants that thrive in our state while providing color and texture. You'll find ornamental gardens, shade gardens, water gardens and international gardens. It's a wonderful place to stroll and reminiscence with Mom.
Jax Fish House offers some of the best seafood in Boulder. It doesn't open until 4 p.m. so make it a light lunch and really enjoy an early dinner. Treat Mom to chowders, steamed mussels, clams, and other delicious seafood. You can make reservations or belly up to the bar for some oysters and drinks with Mom. The menu changes with fishing season so be sure to check out the specials of the day.
