Situated on the growing Denver–Boulder corridor, Westminster is easily accessed from either metropolitan area.

​

The Butterfly Pavilion is a lush conservatory home to 1,600 free-flying butterflies, including the brilliant blue morpho and a giant endangered species from Australia. The pavilion is one of the area's most popular family attractions.

 

Those with kids in tow can also play a round at Adventure Golf & Raceway, or discover excellent hiking, camping, kayaking, fishing and wildlife watching at the town's Stanley Lake Regional Park. Stanley Lake, the Denver metro area's third-largest reservoir, is stocked regularly with walleye, bass and trout and offer opportunities to spot bald eagles, raptors, coyotes, red foxes, burrowing owls and mule deer.

​

While new structures have been built throughout Westminster, the town's history is carefully preserved at the Westminster History Center (open Wednesdays from 10am to 4pm or by appointment).
