Would like suggestions on things to do with children in the city? Have a day to spend here, moderate priced is fine, kids are full of energy, varied interests

The Children's Museum of Denver, Denver Zoo, Denver Museum of Nature and Science, Downtown Aquarium, Denver Botanic Gardens, Washington Park, Tea at The Brown Palace Hotel & Spa in Denver (I used to love doing this with my grandma). All these places have great programs for kids. The Children's Museum might be a bit young for them but the Aquarium is always a hit with any age.

Go to the Children's Museum of Denver, downtown Denver, right off the highway, or for the older child, spend some time at the Denver Downtown Aquarium. You might also want to check out the Denver Mint (though not as fun for kids)
Mentioned in this answer:
The best activities are outdoors.
1. Run around Red Rocks Park and Amphitheatre
2. Rent bikes and ride up the Cherry Creek Trail
3. Check out the Alpine Slide at Heritage Square
or.. the Downtown Aquarium is nice.
Mentioned in this answer:
Would avoid the Aquarium. It's a hot mess of visitor, especially in the summer.
If they like to ride bikes, the family can rent B-cycles to bike around town on.
Someone mentioned Liks Ice Cream and I second that. Best ice cream place in Denver. Gets busy and stays busy, especially when the weather is nice, but worth the wait.
Any of the parks in town are great.
