Mother’s Day comes around every May. It’s a time to celebrate your mom, your wife, or perhaps yourself. If you’re in Denver or planning a trip there with Mom, there are plenty of things to do to celebrate her and all she does.
Think about what she likes when plotting out your Mother’s Day celebration. Does she hate crowds? Love bottomless mimosas? Relish the great outdoors? Curate the perfect day from our list below of top things to do in Denver and the surrounding area this Mother’s Day.
Musical Experience
Many moms love the chance to spend a day out and about in Denver! Looking for something more unique than a dinner this Mother’s Day? If your mom or spouse likes listening to music, a concert is a great way to weave in an experience you can all enjoy.
The Colorado Symphony Orchestra is perfect for classy moms who enjoy listening to music. More than a regular concert, the symphony orchestra provides an artistic, cultural experience that is sure to make for a lasting memory. This Mother’s Day, check out Brahms Symphony No. 3 with different times all weekend, or book another date with an event you know she’ll love.
Delicious Meal
While a concert or event provides a special night out, some moms prefer a sweet meal with the family. There are so many incredible restaurants in the Denver area, and you can’t go wrong with dinner, brunch, or lunch no matter what neighborhood you’re in. We recommend booking in advance, as popular spots tend to fill up quickly on Mother’s Day.
Le French Bakery and Cafe is a gourmet, Parisian-style bistro Mom is sure to love for their exceptional French lunch, dinner, and brunch menus. On Mother’s Day, Sunday, they are open for brunch, and you’ll want to make a reservation. Check their website for hours other days of the week.
Cooking Class
Some moms appreciate a good experience, and a cooking class is a great chance for foodie moms to learn a new recipe while spending time with their family. Alternatively, if Mom is always the one making meals for the family, you may want to consider taking her out to eat this Mother’s Day instead for a chance to be treated. That said, a cooking class can make for a great gift for any mom who loves cooking and learning more about cooking, baking, and cocktail techniques.
Cook Street is a unique venue that offers tons of cooking classes to choose from. Book her a one-night class, a series of classes, or the Mother’s Day brunch event. During brunch, she can participate or sit back and relax while the family takes charge.
Relaxing Facials
Moms love a rare chance to be pampered! Book her a massage, manicure, or hair appointment if she loves relaxing beauty treatments. One of our favorite recommendations is to gift her a certificate for a facial or, better yet, go with her to get facials together. It will feel refreshing and renew her skin, all while brightening her day.

Wine Night
Some moms love a good wine night out with their loved ones! It gives them a chance to unwind and sip on a fine wine. Give her a bottle of her favorite red, take her out to dinner, or find a wine bar that suits her style. Another option to consider is a day at a vineyard, sipping on wine in the sunshine.
Bookcliff Vineyards, with a winery and tasting room located just a short trip away in Boulder, makes for the perfect day trip this Mother’s Day. Enjoy wine and dinner in the tasting room, and consider signing Mom up for their wine club if she’s a real aficionado.

Gemstone Jewelry
Gemstone jewelry is gorgeous, with a wide array of colorful options, and it also holds special meanings. For example, each month is associated with a different birthstone. Get Mom a gift with her own birthstone or those of her children for a sentimental gift she’ll cherish.
Personalized Jewelry
Personalized jewelry, which may include selecting your choice of colorful gemstones, is another way to give Mom a meaningful gift. Shop engravable styles to give her something with a memorable message, or pick out charms that speak to her style and values. While she’s sure to appreciate any piece of stunning jewelry, a personal touch goes a long way.
A Sweet Card
To top off your jewelry gift, we recommend personalizing it with a card. You may want to make the card by hand and incorporate your gift somehow, or you may want to pick one out just for her. While moms love sparkly diamonds, they also love sweet sentiments that remind them of how much you care.
