It's hard enough to shop when you have kids in tow. Not at Colorado Mills in Denver, where they'll be well entertained. There's a carousel in the food court, glow-in-the-dark miniature golf, Woodward Skate Park and a play area. And don't forget Jillian's entertainment complex and the movie theaters. 303-384-3000.
