What to do in Denver for a few days?

I have a 5 year old and a 1 year old and we are going to Denver for a few days. What is there to do? We have been to the Butterfly Pavilion, Natural History Museum, Children's Museum, Denver Zoo. Is there anything else to do? Botanical Gardens... for kids? Trains? What else? Is Elitches open?

Colorado's Ocean Journey

Colorado's Ocean Journey is a world-class aquarium that takes visitors on two journeys following two rivers that both start 12,000 feet above sea level. On one side, visitors follow the Colorado River through red rock canyons and flash floods on its way to the Sea of Cortez. On the other side, visitors twist through tropical rain forests following the Kampar River through the mountains of Sumatra on their way to a coral reef filled with sharks and colorful fish

Denver Art Museum has what is considered to be the finest collection of American Indian art works in the world covering all tribes, as well as 30,000 other art objects in seven curatorial departments. The museum celebrated its 100th Anniversary in 1993 with newly remodeled Asian, Pre-Columbian and Spanish Colonial galleries and renovated African and Oceanic galleries. It is the largest art museum between Kansas City and the West Coast.
