Intensive FAQs

Housing and Rentals

There are many hotels and rental options within a few miles of NAPA Denver.

  • Airbnb
  • Check out this list of Airbnb properties which have been favorites of other NAPA families! While we do not have affiliations with all Airbnb rentals, it is worthwhile to let them know you are a NAPA family as they may be willing to provide a discount or additional accessible features in regards to your stay.
  • WaterWalk
  • The Water Walk apartment/hotel building is right across the parking lot from NAPA Denver. This is by far the most convenient place to stay! Walk to NAPA and rock your therapy sessions. Then head back to your home away from home and lounge in the outdoor living area or get your workout on in the fitness center. With multiple room options, including one and two-bedroombedroom suites, ask for the NAPA rate when booking.
  • Holiday Inn Hotel and Suites – Denver Tech Center
  • For families who don’t need as much space still desire amenities, this is your place! About half a mile away from NAPA, this hotel has studios and one-bedroom suites. In your down time enjoy the indoor pool and hot tub. This hotel also has a full restaurant onsite and is conveniently located right behind Starbucks (Trust us, this will become really important during your intensive!)
  • Ronald McDonald House Aurora
  • Located roughly 40 minutes away, RMDH can support NAPA families that need a little extra help to make an intensive possible. 30 Days before your Intensive starts your Intensive Coordinator can refer you at your request. After you are notified, this form has been submitted, follow up with RMDH to verify your eligibility and confirm availability.

Do we need a rental car?

NAPA Denver is within walking distance of several shops and restaurants. However, Denver’s public transit is extremely limited, and the city’s many attractions are spread throughout the metropolitan area. This being said, we do recommend you rent a car for your stay. There are many rental options available at DIA. If you need to rent a wheelchair accessible vehicle, check out unitedaccess.com/rental.

Siblings

Sessions run smoother when both the parents and therapists can focus on the patient at hand. If you must bring siblings, they may wait in the parent lounge with a parent. We ask you keep them off the therapy equipment and refrain from using toys as tempting as our open gym setting is.
If you would prefer not to bring siblings to sessions, KidsTown is a reputable drop-in daycare in the area and both the Paker and Smoky Hill locations are within driving distance. Both locations are approximately a 15–20-minute drive from NAPA.

  • Lowry Beer Garden – 7577 E Academy Blvd, Denver, CO 80230

Just for fun weekend ideas

    This is possibly the coolest playground you’ll ever play on – and your kids will probably love it too! Large platform swings, tons of water features, and areas for kids of all ages make this a must-do attraction. Bonus, it’s only 1.2 miles from NAPA!
  • Denver City Park
    Denver City Park is home to the Denver Zoo, the Denver Museum of Nature and Science, and an awesome playground. If you’re going to hit up the museum, check the website and see if there is a “low-sensory event” when you’re in town. Periodically, the museum opens only for families with disabilities providing extra accommodations.
  • Englewood/Bellview Children’s Park
    A favorite summer spot! The Park has several playgrounds, petting zoo, and a train ride. Bring a picnic lunch and spend the day lounging (or practicing your Home Exercise Program) on the many large grassy areas! Don’t forget a swimsuit and water shoes to play in the creek.
  • Red Tail Hawk Inclusive Park
    This playground has something for everyone! There are switch-enabled musical instruments sprinkled throughout the variety of swings (including a wheelchair swing), slides, and ziplines. There are several sunshades for a break from the sun and, in warmer months, the splash pad gives everyone a fun place to cool off!
  • Pro Sports
    The only thing the people of Denver love more than craft beer is pro sports. Grab some team gear and catch a game! You have plenty to choose from – the Rockies (baseball), Broncos (football), Avalanche (hockey), Mammoth (lacrosse), Rapids (soccer), and Nuggets (basketball) all call Denver home.
