Westminister

Westminster is a growing suburban community that offers a wide choice of
housing, excellent schools, and public facilities. The best features in
Westminster include the hundreds of recreational activities. A Great place to visit and to take a step back in time  Westminster as it was 100 years ago by visiting the Bowles House Museum. Or, drive by the Pillar of Fire building - a majestic neo-Romanesque-style building built in 1892. Both buildings, along with others in the area, are listed on the National Register of Historical Places. For a more modern view of Westminster, visit City Hall, where you can climb the 181 stairs to the top of the bell tower for a fabulous view of the entire metro area and the Rocky Mountains. (Please see the General Services front desk at City Hall for more information on climbing the bell tower. An adult must be present.) You can also tour the sculpture garden and other gardens located around the building. With direct access to major highways, Westminster's central location between Denver and Boulder puts it within easy reach of major business centers, retail centers, and a variety of entertainment and recreational facilities. Activities in Denver or Boulder are a 20-minute drive in either direction and the drive from Westminster to Denver International Airport takes approximately 30 minutes.

The list of entertaining things to do in Westminster is endless. There are movie theaters, recreation centers, golf courses, parks, open space trails, ice skating and roller skating, soccer, miniature golf, swimming, and hundreds of restaurants and retail stores. Westminster has everything you need for doing business and having fun.
