I go all the time.
So many things to do....
Red Rocks, yes, yes, yes. Get there early so you don't have to hike a mile up to it that includes almost a 500 foot ascent. Red Rocks is a park, check it out and hit the Amphitheater museum below it. (Also a great shelter for incoming rain or hail that time of year.)
Hit the nice little town of Golden.
Drive up to Bolder, an even nicer Burg.
Continue North to Rocky Mountain National Park. Hike the 4 lakes trail. Incredible.
Try to work in a day or two in Colorado Springs. Visit the US Olympic Training Center and the Air Force Academy. Drive to the top of Pikes Peak.
