There is, however, no left-luggage desk or locker facility of its own anywhere at the station, so you need a plan for your bags before you arrive.

Getting to and from the station

RTD operates six rail lines from Denver Union Station, including the A Line to the airport and other regional lines to Westminster, RidgeGate Parkway, Wheat Ridge, Eastlake, and Golden.

Nearby attractions and their bag rules

Coors Field's bag policy is strict, and Union Station is the most convenient light rail stop for getting there, served by the A, B, C, E, G and W lines. It allows only soft-sided, single-pocket bags 16 inches by 16 inches by 8 inches or smaller, and prohibits backpacks or multi-pocket bags.

Ball Arena is stricter still, prohibiting bags, handbags, backpacks, briefcases and luggage entirely—only small clutches, wristlets or bum bags up to 4 by 6 by 1.5 inches get through, with the Ball Arena/Elitch Gardens light rail stop reached by the D, E, H and W lines.

Closer to the station, the Museum of Contemporary Art Denver is a three-minute walk, the Dairy Block micro-district sits two blocks away, and Confluence Park lies three blocks west, all reachable on foot. The Colorado State Capitol is roughly 1.25 miles on foot. None of these carry their own storage restrictions, but the station's lack of a left-luggage desk makes sorting out your bag before you set out the sensible move.
