Adult Day Trips: Let Us Do the Driving
It’s like a field trip without the school. You can have all the fun of going on adventures, seeing friends, and making new ones without the stress of grades. You could even learn something new at the Lee Maxwell Washing Machine Museum in Eaton or during the Denver mob tour without having to worry about a pop quiz. The City of Westminster is proud to offer adult day trips as part of recreation programming. These trips are open to adults of all ages whether or not they live in Westminster, and they allow you the chance to explore Colorado without the hassle of planning the trip and making the drive yourself.
