5.0 out of 5 stars The perfect guide for families vacationing in Colorado, June 12, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Colorado Family Adventure Guide (tm) (Paperback)

I checked out several books from the library, and found myself constantly referring back to this book. I am planning a family vacation for 12 adults and 15 children, and this book has been the one book that I would say was indispensible! Of all the books that I've used, the feature that this book has that none of the others have is that for everything possible, the prices for adults, seniors, children, and infants is included, along with what each attraction or park defines those categories (ages) to be. So, except for price increases that Ms. Kennedy couldn't know about, you have a close approximation to how much money you will be spending to do what you want to do. Also, the hours and phone numbers are included in nearly every case. I couldn't recommend this book highly enough! I ordered it from Amazon so that I would be able to take it with me!
