I wish there was an option for 0 stars. This review is for the inside of the Complex, the outside is beautiful and very fun. The inside is an absolute joke.It costs $7.50 for a parent to go into the “usage” area so you can make sure your kid is safe. ($8.50 if you’re a non resident.) Just to watch and observe they charge you. If you don’t pay, you’re required to sit in a section about 30 feet away where it is very hard to see if your kid is safe.If you want to use the trampolines, that is an additional charge, and the parent will also have to pay to WATCH your child.Save your money and stay outside. It was no wonder the place was a ghost town inside.

Love the Mac! The pool and play space is awesome but the they ca get incredibly crowded as they don’t monitor the amount of kids in those spaces. They also charge adults full price for admission to the play space which is ridiculous since it’s just the kids in there.

I would give this place 100 if it had little water park open till 5pmWe just got at 3.50pm and kids got wet" they shut of timers at 4pm😞😞Keep it open till at least 5!!

It’s $60 for 2 resident kids to jump and adults have to pay and physically be on the trampoline with their kid. The teenagers working here are inconsistent, rude, and rarely know how to enforce policy. The rules seem to change every time based on the awareness of whoever is working. You can pay $80 at Sky Zone for a summer pass where you can go every single day- or $60 for one single day here. It’s a no brainerThe pool is freezing at all hours and times of year. This place is way overrated

Very nice complex and the programs offered and fun and age appropriate. I only wish there were more programs for really young kids and older teens! The pool is very nice and there’s an indoor playground for young kids.

My grandson does soccer practice here every Saturday. The facilities is very clean, excellent equipment, and activities areas.

So much fun! The pool is great and the play space is awesome! Indoor soccer fields are always great in the winter too!

This place is amazing! They have inside pool with water slide, trampoline area, kids area, soccer field and more. Staff was super helpful and the one lifeguard was so nice. She ended up being in the trampoline area as well and was again so polite and friendly (and just a beautiful woman). Cannot thank you all enough for the warm welcome being the first time there. Will definitely see you all again. Keep up the great work and positive vibes.

This place has free wifi and is a great time for the kids. The front desk staff is always friendly and the gym is clean and the indoor soccer field is in great shape. Our dojo rents the space for testing every so often and it is fantastic!

We love coming here to play, swim, jump on the trampoline, and we had my daughters birthday here as well as going to plan our sons party next year at the MAC. The front desk staff is always friendly to us and everyone that walked in, and being especially friendly with the younger kiddos! The vending machines take your money sometimes but that isn’t the fault of this place, more so the vending company.

There's so much to do and see at this amazing facility. Great for kids and adults alike, the ammenities are sure to please. The outdoor playground is unlike any we've ever been to before. We enjoy splashing around in the spray area and hiking the incline. The indoor play area, fields, and pools are just as wonderful. The MAC is an enjoyable place for both locals and tourists.

This place is amazing! Two indoor fields, a large play area for children, and a good pool setup. Outside looks even more amazing, we can't wait for summer!

We went to this place on a field trip for my son's school. It's really a bit of a drive cuz it's in Castle Rock , but I'm definitely going back to try out the Ziplines! The staff was awesome and the place is really cool for kids of all ages! Swimming pool was warm and they have a very entertaining jungle gym ! No food except vending machines. Golf simulator and weights too.

CLEAN CLEAN CLEANCompared to other places they keep this place organized and clean.I definitely recommend this place. The children had a blast. The splash pad was well worth it!

Fun but a money grab. Everything costs here, pay for it with HOA dues to pay to get in to pay to use the trampolines but first pay for the socks to get on the trampoline... all while the city complains they need money for police and fire.... On and on and on... To money grubby but ok if you're on desperate need of something to do.

I've been to Denver several times but this place was a first and I really loved it! The rocks are dramatic and cast beautiful shadows. We followed the trail to the overlook, which is an easy walk on gravel, and we took lots of pictures. There's a house along the way that appears to be a historic site but it wasn't open, it would have been fun to have visited the inside. The area is supposed to be especially beautiful in the snow with the white as a lovely contrast to the red rocks and also in the spring with green against the red.

This park was not crowded at all. We saw a large number of wild flowers and a few deers. The top view is from the Carpenter trail. Dogs are not allowed here, so keep your furry babies at home.

Really enjoyed my first visit to Roxborough state park! As most people know, it is a $10 fee to enter Colorado state parks. I went early September, and had no issues with lines entering the park. Nice visitor center with a great, spacious picnic area with a large awning. Restrooms are located inside the visitor center. Hiked the popular Fountain Valley trail and boy did I regret going mid-day! This trail is HOT. The high was 82° and I was drenched in sweat. Minimal shade, with lots of direct sunlight. Hiker beware! Looking forward to returning once fall temps are here to stay!

Roxborough State Park is a gem for both casual strollers and nature enthusiasts. The park boasts easy access trails that are perfect for a leisurely walk or a more vigorous hike. You'll find plenty of shaded benches along the way, offering restful spots to sit and enjoy the surroundings. The staff is incredibly helpful, ensuring a pleasant visit for everyone. Kids will love picking up an explorer backpack at the visitor center, adding an extra layer of fun to their adventure. Don't forget to pack water and snacks for a lovely picnic amidst the beautiful scenery. For a stunning vantage point, be sure to visit Lyons Lookout—it's an absolute must-see!

The Roxborough State Park is incredible - lots of trail options, short and long, easy and difficult. The views of the rock formations and Denver in the background get better the higher you go. The gates open at 7AM - I got there early and was almost the only one on the trails. It does get busy quickly, though. A park pass is required, but it can be purchased at the entrance. It's going to be my new go-to park for hiking and trail running.

My husband and I went here yesterday to end 2022 off right! It was our first time coming here and the park is so close to Denver! It's beautiful and you get to see plenty of red sandstone rock formations. We also saw some deer in the distance and plenty of wildlife trails.The hikes are all relatively short but you can combine them to get more mileage. We will definitely be coming back here and are excited to try out the other hikes. Might come with our snowshoes after the next storm and see if we can use them.

Southwest Denver’s secret gem. Beautiful hikes for seasoned hikers or short easy ones—great for visiting friends/family, who aren’t used to the altitude, to experience.Be aware that pets are not allowed in the park.

It's such a beautiful little retreat in Colorado! We love hiking the trails and just being out in nature with no cell service. This place has to be the cleanest state park we've been to. There are no dogs allowed , so keep that in mind. There is a dog day just outside the entrance if needed.

Really beautiful place to hike around. Was amazing to be in nature and see lots of wildlife. There was a beautiful picnic area near the trail heads so you can have a nice lunch break after or before hiking. Will definitely be visiting again.

Hidden gem of a state park. $10 per vehicle entrance fee unless you have a state park membership, and we'll worth it. Several excellent trails of varying difficulty and elevation change. Several trails are kid friendly. The only restrooms and facilities are at the visitor center so plan ahead.Highly recommend.

Wonderful little park to visit on sunny days. If you plan on arriving in the summer. Plan on arriving early to ensure you don’t have to wait to get into the park with its limited capacity.There is a bathroom on the grounds but it’s a traditional outdoor bathroom so don’t expect a 5 star hotel.Well worth the walk and the view of you get a chance to visit!

We did the Fountain Valley loop trail and it was very easy steady incline in some parts. Beautiful views, lots of pretty wild flowers, and well maintained trail. There was a pretty long wait to get into the park but it was very worth it.

Beautiful rock formations. Peaceful. Easy walk. No bikes allowed which is great. No need to keep an eye for somebody coming down the corner while you're enjoying the walk. Clean and well maintained. Totally recommended!

This is a great state park. It is similar to Red Rocks or Garden of the Gods and had similar rock formations formed in the same way. This park is very protected and they do a nice job encouraging people to leave no travel, stay in the trails and preserve the beautiful environment. There are some nice picnic tables on the visitors center patio to enjoy a picnic. There is no off trail use permitted in many parts of the park. Additionally pets are not allowed in the park. This park has some excellent hiking and views of the rock formations. Every time I have been it has been less crowded than Red rocks or Garden of the Gods however in the summer months I think it is a very highly used park so you may have to wait to get in. Parking lots are small. The visitors center has some very nice and informative displays. The fountain valley loop is a great trail for families and begining hikers. There is a board near the visitors center that displays the conditions of each trail. There are some historical buildings along the fountain valley loop that are cool to see. Great state park!!

This park is awesome! Lots of easy to moderate trails with views of the red rocks. We saw wildflowers, wildlife and the historic home on the property is interesting.

Definitively a gem. Way better than Red Rock as less people and trails are excellent. Make sure to stop by visitors center to get familiar with the park and get plenty of water.

Roxborough state park is a hidden gems near the upcoming sterling ranch area. This is only 15-20 minutes drive from Littleton area. The drive to the state park is amazing. The flora and fauna in this state park is different from other parks becauof the unique micro climate. If you are lucky enough, you may see some wildlife here. Highly recommend this state park for hikes.

A great experience! Not too far from Denver, but far enough so you feel that you’re out of the city. The park amenities are so well organized! At the beginning of the trails they have a sign that indicates trail conditions and a sunscreen dispenser, both of which I thought were extremely cool and I’ve never seen either before. They have a nice display of how long different items that are commonly littered take to decompose, a flower garden, and fun little exhibits about the geology and nature in the park (which are fun for kids and adults). Can’t wait to go back

Absolutely gorgeous! The fountain valley loop trail is scenic and walkable. A great place to sightsee red rocks without all the noise pollution that the other places in the Denver metro area get. Beware of snakes though. I saw a snake curled up by the side of the tall grass and was thankful to the dad walking in front of me for warning me. This is also the place to bring plenty of sun protection. Your hat / buff will save your poor scalp from the incessant sun exposure. I have such a soft spot for meadows and plains so getting to see the tall grass gently sway in the wind was delightful. This is the perfect time to visit because you know that in about two weeks when summer hits, everything is going to turn brown from the overbearing sunlight.

What a lovely park with a nice relatively easy hike. Was on my way to Red Rocks when I was encouraged to go here instead. Glad I did’

This park is a gym. It's fun to hike in both the summer and the winter. In the winter the trails are still very well used even shortly after a snow. You don't need snowshoes because of so much use. Some of the trails go up the mountain and some go parallel to the mountain and both have unique views. I would recommend giving this Park a shot if you have a little time.

Beautiful place for a hike! We were able to see some wildlife as well, we ran into a deer, a turkey and a light rain blew in a cooling breeze.

Really beautiful path to walk and cool little museum type place to check out for free. I was so amazed at the beauty of the mountains and trees, that were going back in the morning. There's a $10 fee to get in per car though. Not bad. We brought our 2 small kids of course, and they were just intrigued by the beauty. Def recommend!

My favorite place to hike in tri county, super close to home yet it still feels secluded from civilization and natural. Their team does a really nice job making the visitor center feel inviting, and they have drinks, maps, guides & snacks for purchase. The trails and all open areas are really well maintained and you can feel how special this place is to everyone that works there. Trail options for all ages and levels of strenuousnessSo beautiful!

A friend recommended this for our first hike while in Colorado. It did not disappoint! Beautiful scenery, wildlife and moderately easy trails.

A favorite place.The rock formations are so beautiful, wildflowers can be found all around in June especially along Carpenters peak trail. Watch out for prairie rattlesnakes like this one right on the trail. I almost stepped on it. Gonna be getting myself some solid boots after this experience.Orange agoseris, asters, daisies, chiming bells, western wallflower, golden banner, silvery lupine, fendler’s waterleaf, britton’s skullcap, Blue flax, sidebells penstemon, blue mist penstemon, sulphur flower, western salsify, wild roses all in bloom this June.

Roxborough state park continues to be an amazing park. It's beautiful, well maintained, peaceful, and the main hiking loop is great for all ages. We had a group ranging from small children up to in their sixties. We all enjoyed the hike. Good parking, friendly visitor center, and chances to see lots of wildlife! We appreciated the wildlife log in the visitor center to see what we might be in store for seeing that day.

Went to Roxborough with friends we were visiting & loved it!! On the west side of Denver so very easy access & they had a park pass so we got in free but the entrance fee is very reasonable & the park is day use only. Very clean & welcoming Visitor Center & the park rangers were very friendly & helpful. There's about 15 miles of trails they are well maintained & marked lots of great views & we enjoyed a 3 mile hike on a beautiful I highly recommend this state park!!

Very nice place for trails, they have good trails with different difficulty levelFood and picnic areas are so cool, you can do outings with huge crowds here. Can accommodate hundredsPlan early so that you can cover all trails and trekking funThey have good facilities for families especially like restrooms, food, picnic areas and lake areas.

Beautiful hike, there are many trails to choose from most are easy to moderate, one strenuous hike. Great place for hikers of all ages. Nice visitors center and restrooms.

This State Park gets two stars for several reasons. 1. They need to make sure maps stops trying to take them through the residential neighborhood up by arrowhead golf club. It's a private gated and guarded community, and the security is rude. So even when asking how to get to the trails in the park on maps is saying go through the neighborhood.....they'll tell you it's private property and you're not allowed there...The park is literally public land.2. Which brings me to my next reason. Roxborough is full of snotty people who think they own the state park themselves. It's rather unappealing even to be around this area. So when you finally do find the road to the park which by the way it's past the fire station. There are no signs for a long time, super not helpful... 3. You find it finally and boom... apparently, this massive space only has enough parking for 100 vehicles. So even at 9:30am we had to wait 30 minutes before someone else left in order to get in. Maybe if they spent a little money on the road repairs and another parking lot, it would be much nicer. So beware parking is a nightmare. 4. The welcome center was very boring.The upside to this park is that it is very easy to navigate once inside. Luckily, it's one road to the trails because they have no signs. When you're there they have daily visits to the old homestead and the staff working it was very nice.Very kid friendly. Great for jogging strollers, but don't take your cheap Walmart stroller, nothing against them. They just aren't going to make it. Trail starts paved and then goes to packed dirt, but they have a lot of washed-out spots. Also, don't bother with wagons. The ruts will be an issue. You need big off road rubber tires. Not plastic crappy wheels. Take waterproof shoes, lots of bug spray, and sunscreen. You'll see golden eagles, mountain lions, black bears, a few deer, and maybe occasionally a moose. Lots of snakes. Mostly bullsnakes, but they do have a large amount of prarie rattlesnakes.Tons of poison ivy and poison oak, like an insane amount, so stay on the trail and don't let your kids wonder.There are plenty of seating areas along the trails.No pets.

Cool space. Love the way it's built like an old town with streets, etc. They have a cool permanent stage by forth street, next to H&M with live music and a selfie wall. The DJ playing was awesome!!! Go check this place out.

Pancake Breakfast with Santa was so much fun. The decorations were great. Santa and Mrs Claus were great, though they needed a throne or some kind of seat.

This is one of the best outlet malls! They’ve got just a little bit of everything! It’s especially a great place to shop when there’s really beautiful weather.

Great experience! So many different stores. Basically an outdoor mall. Great views to take pictures definitely kid friendly

We've always good experiences here. Yes some of the stores have great deals and some not so much. Don't blame the mall for that though. The mall itself is great. They do events and stuff for the holidays. They handled covid well. Kid friendly.

I like the fact that most of the premium outlets are there... I went there on the weekend of August... It wasn't too crowded but I didn't necessarily find any jaw dropping deals but the deals were just usual and okish...

Great shops and places to eat. Nice open shopping area. Plus this establishment also does entertainment on the weekend.

Great weather, plenty of shops. I wish there was more options of places to eat on the outlet grounds, but it’s very limited and the food isn’t very fresh. I can’t wait to the holiday so they dress it up with pretty lights and garland and red velvet ribbons, it’s a site to see

Great outlet mall with great shopping options. I was surprised to see just how dog friendly they are. We had left our pet in the car but quickly realized how welcoming they were of dogs and brought him along with us while we shopped. I was bummed to see Vanheusen closed, but they still have great options there.

Great July 4th deals! And just a great overall shopping experience!Plenty of spaces in the car park you'll never struggle to find a spot.The layout of the outlet is great easy and convenient. Especially if you want to get the full experience and walk past every store.

Not to many stores open but the ones that still were are nice to shop good prices.4 stars for the Nike store and the interesting game board store!

Went to the outlet mall today, as I had been in the past, and I had a good experience. The fact that it's an outdoor mall is great! As you have a great view of all the shops, and there's a lot of seating to choose from. The shops itself have a lot of variety, as there's a lot of stores you can go into. Overall, I have had a good experience here today, and I'd recommend coming.

Good selection of stores and cute set up. Map was not updated for the location of Adidas store.

Really enjoyed the activities they had for the kids at this Outlet. Idk if it was only because it was back to school event. But it kept my kids entertained while I continued to shop. As for the shopping the stores didn’t have very good sales. Except for a Adidas they had some great sales! All the other stores I went into were priced like going into a regular mall. Not to mention the selection and sizes were not available for my kid. Really disappointing. Overall it made up for it with the free activities they had going on for the kids back to school.

Visited multiple shops. Columbia, Wood Shark trading co, Crocs, Zumiez, Volcom, and others. had this amazing Korean truck with chicken on a tick, and chicken dumplings . I wasn’t on my phone so I didn’t take any pics. beautiful Easter weekend 🤍

Walked into a very pleasant experience. Staff was very helpful. I found what I needed in mere minutes much faster than I expected. They did not have two of the jeans that I wanted. However they ordered them online while I was there. Delivery should be in a couple of days. All in all very pleasant.

Such a nice atmosphere for an outlet. The people are amazing and wanted to help. I loved the Columbia store and ended up going back a little while after.They do a great job with upkeep of the area. The bathrooms were clean. The sidewalks had almost no trash. Overall a great place to go burn a couple hours

This is our go to shopping location for black Friday every year. You'll definitely end up buying something for sure. The parking is almost full here during that period but you will still manage to find a spot. It has all the shops you like and I think it's definitely worth driving all the way south of Denver to get here.

Nice choice of stores, clean and maintained. However, they need more restaurants/pubs and food options. The food court is closed, and a waste of a very nice big area. Some tables outside to sit at would be a nice addition to sit and rest at.

We found some excellent deals! Extra kudos to Under Armour for giving a 10% military discount on top of 50% off everything in the store. The line was long, but moving quickly.

There are so many designer brands to choose from and so many options and deals! We have a good time shopping because of the variety. Parking was easy to find, unlike other outlets.

My daughter and I went on one of their free days and had an amazing time. I grew up in Littleton but have never actually been to this location though I have visited the Denver location on several occasions. I must say I think I prefer this location now! It's easy to get to, laid back, tranquil and stunningly beautiful. I particularly enjoyed seeing all of the edible plants worked into arrangements, including kale, cabbages, and a wide variety of herbs. I especially appreciated the kindness of the staff toward the younger crowd. Everyone I encountered was very pleasant, understanding and patient. We can't wait to come back!

Fantastic stop for people who love gardens, local history, and horticulture! We have a membership and have already been a couple times this year, and to the main botanic gardens location. Staff always very helpful.Would highly recommend, especially when the butterfly house is in season!

We had a wonderful time visiting Botanic Gardens Chatfield Farm in Littleton! The house with antique items was a delightful experience, and being able to interact with adorable farm animals up close was a real treat. The volunteers' dedication and friendly nature made the visit even more enjoyable, as they happily answered all our questions. The Butterfly House was a highlight too, with well-cared-for butterflies and beautiful plants adding to the magical ambiance. There is plenty of space for kids to run around and play and even a dedicated kids area. There is so many neat things to find along the way we find more every time we come. Highly recommended for a lovely day out!

Absolutely gorgeous and peaceful. Affordable to visit (especially if you are a member at the botanical gardens- it's included in your membership). I am excited to visit during the other seasons. Truly amazing what they have made possible with this land! Also- loved the butterfly pavilion. So cool.

As a wedding photographer, I LOVE this place. SO many great spaces for photos, plenty of flexibility options for couples when it comes to their ceremony + reception spaces, and I love that they're continuing to focus on sustainable initiatives.

The corn maze was so much fun!!! Not easy, but super fun! The floral scenery was beautiful and the staff was super friendly offering to assist with anything. The corn maze had a super cool festival of food and games with a children’s maze too. Worth the trip for sure!

Denver Botanic Gardens was more of a historic sight than bountiful flowers and plants and such, much different than the one downtown. I believe it was between seasons when we went 2 days ago (May 2nd, 2023).About a 1.5 mile loop, saw a field of open space with Prarie Dogs, was about 50+ of them in this field running around enjoying life, pretty cool to witness from a distance.Pictures of the house is from when German settlers came and picked that spot for their farm which apparently still feeds a few thousand people. Beautiful day to just spend outside learning something new. If you've never been, worth a visit if in the area. Cost is $7.00 if you're a vet, I think 10 for citizens.

Great place to come with the family, or without, to enjoy the amazing plants/trees/foliage! If you feel like it, you can probably learn something. A special shout out to Elyas who was friendly, knowledgeable, and pointed us in the right direction. Thank you for a great day!

Went for the first time for the lavender festival. The lavender had no smell. The grounds are very pretty and some cute picture spots. It's just not as big as some other botanic gardens that I've been to.

We'll have to plan our next visit for a time when it's in bloom however today was still pretty and relaxing. Lots of walking paths, shady places to relax, a small kid's playscape, some animals, and clean restrooms.

I had been wanting to visit this garden for quite a while, and I wasn't disappointed. When I got there, the first thing that occurred to me was how necessary this little oasis from the city was. You hear all the sounds of nature while your eyes are full of bright, vivid flowers in the intriguingly-designed layout. I let my eyes guide me around the garden encouraged by my curiosity. I discovered the garden of irises and lavender, which I can't wait to visit later in the season. Then there was branch-constructed maze that made me feel like a kid again. I wondered over to the native plants and the survival garden, which inspired me for my garden. I stumbled upon a trail that led me to the children's play area with a tree house followed by the stables and barns. There's a little bit of history here to teach kids what life was like when the farm was established. I could go on and on, but I think you should see it for yourself. I'll be back for sure to see the gardens in other seasons.

Simply wonderful! Butterfly garden, indigenous gardens, and farm run by veterans and volunteers. Lots of walking, would make a great outdoor event space. Large scale sculpture by Patrick Dougherty.

We spent over two hours leisurely exploring the grounds of this beautiful, pastoral setting. Lots of manicured grounds, walking paths, and old buildings filled a very enjoyable afternoon.

We visited probably a little too early in the spring, so the entire place looked barren. Thankfully, our tickets were free; otherwise, we would have regretted purchasing them. The highlight of our visit was seeing the pig. It was a cutie. 🐖

Lovely gardens around the entrance and the historical farm house. Great butterfly Pavillion. Beautiful plants inside and plenty of butterflies to see. Loved the lavender field. Would be fun to come back for their lavender festival to compare all the flower types.. It was hot and stormy so we didn't go beyond that area, Reasonably priced.

Lovely gardens near Chatfield Reservoir. The fall colors were fantastic, in October 2023, and the unusually warm weather made for an easy stroll through the corn maze. Met other, friendly people there and saw a wedding venue in a nice corner (wedding was the day before). Looks like a great place to host events, too, for family or work

Absolutely beautiful and a perfect place for a girls day out! I also was able to walk around safely without shoes and ground for hours. Loved it, I can't wait to share it with friends!!!

Absolutely beautiful and relaxing place to spend the day! I was impressed with all of the features and the atmosphere. Though maybe October is not the most ideal time to experience gardens in colorado the remaining living plant life was so beautiful and well cared for! The pumpkin patch was also amazing! The best selection of ornamental gourds and pumpkins! Definitely go if the opportunity presents itself!

Well kept gardens, but would recommend visiting end of May/early June, flowers are not quite in full swing, but still incredible as always. 15% of iris are blooming, but are usually all in bloom by early June. They are just now planting the pots and many plants have buds but haven’t popped yet!

Wow in my own back yard. The gardens are incredible. So many influences that are amazing. Even the gift store is incredible.The attention to every detail is incredible. It’s so serene it’s medicinal with every breath.And there’s classes available on many subjects.

We went on a perfect weather day. The corn maze had a long and short option. We did both and it probably took us less than an hour at a leisurely pace. Look for and take a pic of the treasure chest in the longer maze to win a candy at the exit!After, we went on a free (they accept tips) tractor ride that loops around a section of the property. The area is beautiful and scenic. Even though we went in the off season, there were still plenty of beautiful flowers. The butterfly exhibit was closed until May, we went in October.

Went to pick up pumpkin at their pumpkin patch. Great pumpkins. Corn maze was fun to escape from. Lots of food trucks, drinks and snow cones. It's a great event for family with kids to hangout and have fun. Lots of activities for kids.I got here at 9:10am and there was a long line for parking.

I went on Earth day which was a free day at the gardens. It was a lovely space to walk around, although most of the buildings were closed and I think it was a little early in the spring for most plants to be blooming. They had a lot of different stations and activities for kids set up though and there were a variety of farm animals out and about.There are different parts of the gardens, I walked around a path which took me to the far end of the gardens which is part of their Deer Creek Natural Area. There weren’t a lot of people around that part, but it was a great spot to observe wildlife! I brought my binoculars and saw different kinds of birds, ducks, prairie dogs, and some deer tracks in the dirt.

I loved the place..lots of parking across from the building..I enjoyed walking there, lots of displaysThe gift shop was great..lots of beautiful things 🌳🌲🥀🌾🏵️🌻🪻🪴

We love this place. It’s mellow and quiet. Although they did make some changes by the barn and Silo that we thought they shouldn’t have, we still like this place very much. They took away some of the old animal stalls, and other things that show how old the place is. Wish they would keep with the old and authentic.In the summer you can see many hummingbirds by the yurt. Also by the silo.There’s a pond in the back that they now have a fountain, it would be nice if they would have some picnic tables( but they don’t) so bring a picnic blanket if you like water to sit by. By the other house on the east side of the property, they have some animals that kids love to pet. They also have massive vegetable gardens.We have never come in the winter, we’ve only been there spring through fall, but have never been disappointed .

Could not love this place more. A cute little farm by Chatfield Reservoir. We recently went during the holiday lights and it was great!! They had local artisans, hot cocoa, and the best caramel apples!!

This place is awesome! There is a historic farm house & other historic farm buildings— & of course, gardens galore!The bird watching was seriously awesome— I even got winked at by a young owl cuddling its mother.It was a relaxing time for the whole family & I cannot wait to go back.

This is a gem and never crowded. The small butterfly house allows close up accessible butterfly encounters and the farm and grounds are just charming. Good place for a picnic or a walk.

My son and daughter-in-law held their wedding there. The venue was spectacular. The fall colors and late season flowers augmented this wonderful event.

"An enchanting experience that truly encapsulates the magic of the holiday season! The Denver Botanic Gardens Chatfield Farms Walk of Lights is a mesmerizing display that transports you into a wonderland of dazzling lights and festive cheer. From the moment you enter, you're immersed in a breathtaking symphony of colors and artistic light installations that captivate the imagination.The attention to detail in every display is simply stunning - from the twinkling archways to the magnificent illuminated sculptures, each step feels like a journey through a fairy tale.

Very boring. No signs, no information andI was so disappointedLuckily my friend had a discount so we only payed $2 …id be really mad if I had paid $12Too overpriced for nothingThe volunteers were loving

Beautiful flowers Iris and the butterflies were great as well. In the butterfly pavilion there were very knowledgeable attendants. We had timed tickets, they keep it from getting crowded. We will return, to see other flowers.

Chatfield Botanic Gardens is an adventure. It has a lot of green. It has a pavilion with not only different kinds of butterflies but also many beautiful plants. The Gardens also has nice views of a creek and old houses now museums. Be prepared with a bottle of water because there is not a place to buy water or food inside the botanic gardens.

My family and I had a great time at the park. The staff was very nice and helpful. We got a snack from the snack bar and the kids had a great time.There are a few suggestions and a couple things to note. The bathrooms aren't always open. When we got there we noticed the men and women's bathroom were locked. This caused a line to form and a few small delays.The view is beautiful (especially the mountains!) However, other than that it is a very simple park. There is limited shade and the trails were either overgrown or too short.I think this is a nice stop to bring your kids and your family for a nice quick dip in the water. There are plenty of activities for the lakes for sure. This is a great place to cool off!

Gorgeous state park not too far from the Denver area. Decided to go camping here and it was a fantastic experience. Liked the campsites (be sure to have a reservation to get one,) the amenities, the lake where you can boat or paddle board, warm and cold water, cool wildlife, and great people and staff. We did have a blast camping in this stage park. The entrances are also very convenient from both the highways nearby. It is probably one of my favorite state parks I have ever been to. Highly recommend this state park!

Beautiful !!! The mountains and the lake were gorgeous!! The Host was so friendly too!Loved Loved all the trails to walk and the Trailer parking was spaced out very well !! I didn't get to fish, but looked great!!Many attractions nearby also.

This park has a lot to offer!! Open spaces, swim beach, picnic areas, fishing and other water sports just to name a few. Also has paved walking paths that pretty much circle the whole reservoir. It's approximately 13 miles around. Also has access to other trails not associated with the park.

July 2023 water at swim beach was high. Beach was clean and people were nice and respectful..well minus the random speaker blaring Mexican music at a deafening volume. Parking is not an issue if you arrive before noon on a weekend. There is only a bank of port-a-potties and there is no drinking fountains or rinse showers which is super frustrating.

Tons of people here during the summer months. Long lines just to get in the park. A lot of fun activities like horseback riding, hot air ballooning, swimming, boating, camping, hiking, biking and so much more. Get there early and start have fun.

This is a good place to relax with family.The water is not that clear but kids don't seem to be bothered by it.There are some picnic areas with tables( Find a spot not close to trash/portable toilet as it can be smelly)It will be best to have a picnic blanket and a cooler as you can then actually relax near the water.I wish the mountains were the same side as the lake so it will give the best sunset. (They are in opposite directions)There is an entrance fee of $10 per car that you can get from a self-serve station.I did not use the restroom as they have only portable toilets.The beach is dog friendly. (There is an off leach area for dogs that I did not try as my puppy is not fully vaccinated yet)

Gorgeous place with lots to do! I’ve been twice - once bringing my own flotation devices and the other to rent. The rentals are fairly easy but parking fills up fast. The thing with that too is that you gain access to a much smaller portion of the water area. Once you cross the road (I’m unsure if you can bring the rentals there with you), that’s where you’ll find much more open water. There were boaters out past the trees, and mostly kayakers and paddle boarders navigating the water submerged trees. Lots of Lilly pads and birds around. Definitely bring bug spray! What a treat this place is! I hope to be back often

All the years I've lived in Denver and Chatfield has been 10 minutes from my house.. I never knew how much fun the camping there would be. What I love about it is you get that camping feel but you're still so close to the city. Very clean campsites super friendly staff. Lots of trails to walk on lots of water to play in. Just a super fun time. Definitely be coming back.

I camped here for the 1st time with my son's 6th grade class. Wow was I impressed! It was definitely "city camping" but the trails were great, paddle boarding was a blast and a must do! The park ranger was super friendly and very knowledgeable.

This state park is extensive and has lots of walking trails, horesback riding and picnic areas. The trails however are not properly marked so you may end up getting a big confused. There are a lot of benches surrounding the area to sit and relax so that is indeed a plus. A simple, unassuming state park in the area!

Really pretty and very open. I will say that the line to get in was kind of slow and it was suuuper busy first thing in the morning but, because it's so big it was still easy to find a fishing spot around 10am. I will say because of the boats and the amount of people swimming in non-designated swim areas fishing was harder. Had people next to us that knew we were fishing and they threw a football and ran right through my fishing line as I pulled it in. Guy almost stepped right on my hook. But hey, things happen and it wouldn't have been my fault - I warned them multiple times.Restrooms are by each of the parking lots and you'll want to bring some hand sanitizer.

We recently had the pleasure of staying at Chatfield State Park from August 6 to 20, 2023, and our experience was nothing short of delightful. Nestled in the picturesque landscape just outside of Denver, Chatfield State Park offers a serene retreat for nature enthusiasts and campers alike.Upon arrival the park staff were friendly, knowledgeable, and readily available to assist with any inquiries. Their commitment to maintaining the park's pristine condition and ensuring the satisfaction of campers was evident throughout our stay.We were in Loop D, site 166, a back-in site with full hook-ups on a concrete pad, complemented by a serene gravel sitting area with a fire pit and picnic table. The site was long and spacious, well-maintained, and provided easy access for our RV. There was plenty of room to park our Truck and car side-by-side in front of our 5th wheel with plenty of room away from the road. The site's layout allowed for a sense of privacy, with ample distance from neighboring campers. Allowing you to enjoy the view and nature around you.The amenities include clean restroom and shower facilities, a laundry facility, outdoor vending machines that have a variety of snacks and drinks for purchase, as well as firewood and waste stations. The park's well-maintained trails provided ample opportunities for hiking and biking, and the lake offered a tranquil setting for water activities such as boating, kayaking, and fishing.One of the highlights of our stay was the breathtaking natural beauty that surrounds Chatfield State Park. The sprawling landscapes covered with patches of beautiful yellow sunflowers, scenic trails, and the shimmering waters of Chatfield Reservoir create a postcard-worthy backdrop. Whether you're an avid photographer or simply seeking a peaceful environment to unwind, the park's beauty is sure to captivate.In conclusion, our two-week stay at Chatfield State Park was a rejuvenating experience. The combination of comfortable camping facilities, stunning natural surroundings, and a variety of recreational opportunities make this park a top choice for those seeking a tranquil retreat near Denver. Whether you're an avid camper or a first-timer, Chatfield State Park offers a perfect blend of relaxation and adventure.

The park is great! The reservation system not so. The res system is run by Aspira and there is often a busy tone. If you do get thru, to automation, they confirm the number you're calling from and put you in a queue to call you back. You'd be lucky if you get a call back in two and a half hours. Very difficult to make reservations at the Colorado State Parks. Those taking care of the camping spots are doing a better job than in the past. All the trash is getting picked up. The bathrooms are very clean as well. The staff at the camp office are very nice and helpful. Very helpful. They are the best. I love going to this park when I can get availability but it is just so hard to do so with a ridiculous reservation system and online often showing there's no availability when there is. Since they flooded the lake there's so much wonderful no wake zone for kayakers and stand up paddle borders. Lots to explore in the trees. Just watch out for the poison ivy in the trees.

Really great day at the "beach". Definitely feel like they could add some beach sand to make it more tolerable to walk or lay down on as it is mostly pebbles and dirt until you get to the very edge of the water. Overall, we had a good time.

Glamping here for most of the summer is advised. All of the loops are good, but many prefer A Loop because of its proximity to the marina. The boat rentals at the marina are expensive and restrictive. Regardless, there are lots of activities from hiking, paddleboarding, sailing, and kayaking from the outfitters around the marina. Check out the wildlife and sunsets if you visit.

I hadn't been here for over 20 years.Wasn't expecting a full transformation of everything around me. I was just surprised about the water level coming past the trees to the shore. In the days when I went there that was all usable space. Now all that space is taken away and full of people on paddle boards, paddling around in the trees. It's not that I don't mind that, it just seemed like all that space that I used to enjoy was just taken away. It just felt to me driving around this area that it kind of lost its serenity and became a water world.Chatfield is a beautiful state park If you enjoy paddle boating and boating. There's a good sized beach with food and restroom accommodations coming in from the west entrance giving you wonderful views. There's camping and model airplane flying right when you come in from the south entrance of the reservoir. The winding roads throughout Chatfield have plenty of benches and picnic tables to enjoy. There are two docks to put your boat in. The one dock from the west entrance is pretty basic, were you just ramp your boat into the water. The dock on the south side has plenty of area to dock your boat and storing it there is an option. The views from the top of the damn are amazing and peaceful with benches and picnic tables.There's also a very cool secluded area on the north side of the damn with walking trails and picnicking areas hidden within the trees. Bathrooms were available all across the reservoir. I do enjoy Chatfield and have been back several times already.Chatfield is definitely a great place for the family.

Great reservoir with multiple campground loops, swim beaches, dog parks and other amenities. Kayaking up the river was a very fun experience and I loved it.

Great place to paddle board. You can paddle through the trees. Gets crowded so go early or the lots will fill up. Great swim beach and camping as well.

One of the best, most accessible places to SUP in Colorado. I love it and usually go 2x a week as my schedule permits.

Boating at chatfield is amazing lots of birds and beautiful scenery.easy access for boats w lots of parking.friendly boat inspection and had a safety inspection passed w/flying colors

Been boating on Chatfield a few times, this was the first time I ventured around the lake on the paved path, nearly 11.5 miles if you're interested. I have to say it was quite nice! Very well maintained path suitable for walking, running, hiking, and biking, with plenty of restrooms for pitstops along the way. Just a relatively small section of dirt road on the east/ northeast side approaching the dam, nothing a cold on a bike could not handle. I will certainly return!

I have been here twice in the last couple of weeks along with my one of my best friends and her beautiful Golden Retriever named Shuggie.We like to go near sunset because the light in the park is so beautiful then, the mountains so magical - their grays and blues blending with the verdant green areas of the park.The open space here is more than abundant, dozens and dozens of open acres replete with trails and paths. Dogs love it and seem so happy and joyful to be roaming free.There are public restrooms and even a place to wash one's dog.

The park rangers here are a cancer to this parks environment, all they do is drive around all day in ac while driving past piles of ever increasing trash. The only reason they get out of their cars is to profile, stalk, and harass people like myself that have complained about the trash issue here so they are retaliating against me for speaking up about how this place is a trash heal. The rangers own living areas must be also filled with disgusting old trash, or they just care less about the park they manage than anything else in life. The rangers here are useless to this parks positive environment, they do nothing about the trash in the water and the beaches because they are obsessed with harassing peopleike me to prove they can be a cop instead of a ranger. I have almost a thousand photos of increasing trash at chatfield State Park beaches and water. If the rangers actually did their job instead of stalking me than this place wouldn't be a trash heal.

We camped 3 nights on C-loop in October. This park is very popular. All of the Full Hookup sites were booked. C-loop is electric only. Fill water tank at dump station as the water spigots in C-loop are designed to thwart use of a hose.Sites are spacious. Driveways curve alongside the loop rather through to the next loop.

We camped in D loop. The 50amp power was iffy at best. The water was just turned on, so it didn't work properly. We mentioned both to the office, and someone came and fixed the water but never the power. Other than that, it is a great park.

This was the first park I visited in Colorado, and it's worth a visit! I went in march about 4 days after it snowed, and got to see a bald eagle and lots of prairie dogs! This park has walking/biking trails, campground, and a field for flying RC planes and drones! Fantastic views of the mountains from anywhere in the park.

We got lucky and were greeted with this pretty rainbow over the park when we pulled in. Full campground and a nice 3 day/2 night stay overlooking the lake, quiet and clean throughout the entire campground and facilities. The grounds were maintained and checked on by staff but also were not intrusive to guests-you hardly would know they were there, very pleasant. We really enjoyed our stay!

Chatfield is a very nice state park! It offers a lot of different activities for a lot of different levels of athleticism and interests. We went there to stand up paddle board and kayak and found lots of different access points and calm coves to be in that weren't too choppy or out on the main lake in completely open water.The restroom facilities are clean and the park staff is super nice!

Our first time in their campgrounds and other than early May wet and cool weather had a great time. We never went to the offered facilities like showers and restrooms so cannot speak to those but full hookups even included dump station at your campsite, electric in 30, 50 and 110 and fresh water. Lots of wildlife and trails. A great experience.

If you have a state park pass, this is a great place to use it! Chatfield is not too far from Denver and is fairly easy to drive to. The park is really big but essentially a loop if you’re driving around. It’s a great place to swim (there are designated areas) and to do any type of water sport like kayaking and paddle boarding. It gets busy during weekends and holidays but is still fairly peaceful.

We walked and drove around Chatfield. It3a great place for seeing birds and just enjoying nature! It was quite windy but we were very excited to see a couple of Golden eagles. We will be back next time we are out west.

Great place to have a short quick hike and have fun in the ice during winter.

The drive was awesome. I was surprised at 50° temperature and lake Evergreen was frozen. Can't wait to see how it looks during spring, fall or summer.

Really nice path around half of the lake. Looks like they have fun water rentals. But it wasn't the right time of year to see what all they offered for lake fun.

Amazing day at the lake! People are mostly kind and considerate And the views are spectacular. Parks and rec Offers shuttle parking if the lot is full. You can rent paddle boards or kayaks and life vests.Only downside is there is no swim area.

If you want a cute easy walk or hike as my husband called it this just might be your place. It is definitely cooler walking along the lake in the tree side. At least in October. The path is easy to use. Lots of people and dogs. Lots of people fishing. The trees with their bright colors are so beautiful.

The restrooms in this area are horrible!! Not clean at all, toilet paper everywhere and not even hand sanitizer in these restrooms. Come prepared not to use these. Plenty of fishing to do and walking around the lake.

The north side of the walking path around the lake is closed due to construction. Otherwise it’s a lot of fun to walk around and even into downtown evergreen. They do have public restrooms near the boat house on the west side of the lake.

We had a fun day fishing. Even though no catch. But it was beautiful scenery.

Nice lake, trail goes around the whole lake. Takes about half to an hour to walk the whole trail. There’s a small rental shop for paddle boards and kayak. Parking lot available for guests.

Beautiful lake! You'll get great views from every part of the trail. Tons of people paddleboarding. There's construction going on, so take the upper lot exit and take a right. If you take the wrong turn you'll have to drive back another 10 minutes back to where you started.

Beautiful hike location. It’s about 2 miles around. If there are animals such as Elk in the area the will close the trail space. Paddle board rentals available and there were a lot of fishing going on. There are outdoor bathrooms open to the public.

A small lake in the Rocky Mountains valley. The view around this place is mind blowing. They have a nice trail around this lake and plenty of open space for your kids to enjoy and play around. If you like fishing i would definitely recommend this place. It’s a easy drive from Denver highly recommend. The only issue could be nice restaurants around this place, though they have one or two around but not too many options to go for. They have 18 hole golf course just beside the lake for golfers

Such a serene mountain lake to skate at during the winter (or just sip coffee indoors and enjoy the view). Really well maintained, with just the right amount of preserved wilderness and rustic charmIt may be only 20 minutes from the chaos and smog of Denver, yet you feel worlds away

Wow, this lake is stunningly beautiful. It has that perfect winter lake hockey vibe, the community can meet up here and hang out and play around with the good ol' frozen biscuit. Highly recommend, best lake to play hockey!

I like this lake. I have visited it many times. Every time it is special wonderful. You can fish here, go kayaking, have a picnic, hiking... In winter you can go ice skating.

We have been here in the winter for ice-skating on the lake, which we absolutely loved! They have skate rentals, and they even had things for us to hold if we didn’t want to fall. We also love coming in the summer because you can rent a canoe or a kayak. The double kayak is $40 an hour. Their staff is always so friendly and willing to help. And it’s just a beautiful view!

A beautiful scenery. Great place to go for a walk around the lake

This was such an incredible, accidentally beautiful experience. We wanted to go to Mount Evans, but were unable to book a visitor pass, since there was no network on the road. But then we met a woman and her daughter at ECHO Lake, and she suggested that we should go to Evergreen, which is a beautiful Alpine town. She actually grew up there, but now lives in Dallas. The route to this town is drop dead, gorgeous, and the houses on the way are simply unreal in their beauty. We had the perfect mix of weather between drizzle and sun peeking through the clouds.

Evergreen Lake is a beautiful alpine lake located in the heart of Evergreen. The trail around the perimeter is a perfect leisurely hike for an afternoon or evening.During the summer the lake itself tends to be pretty popping with kayakers and paddle boarders.

My fiancée and I were lucky enough to see Evergreen Lake in November after a light snow. This area was beautiful. We will be visiting Evergreen Lake again.

So many scratches on the viewing area that it was hard to take a picture or enjoy looking at the people inside. The scratches and scuffs really do need to be addressed I’m sure people don’t like it in their photos. It wasn’t very friendly more like an assembly line. Communication was definitely lacking. Although the experience was incredibly fun it was more money than just going skydiving to begin with.

I feel like a daredevil coming here!! It is such a thrilling experience, and I can't wait to come back! Chase was our flight commander, and he was super passionate about our safety and having fun!! We were in a group with young and not so young, all had a great time. I especially enjoyed watching the group after us doing insane tricks and can't wait to come back to learn how to do those. Thank you again for a wonderful visit!!Free parking, easy to find, not crowded, clean facility, easy to book, AMAZING EXPERIENCE!!

This was our first visit. My kids had loads of fun. The staff were really friendly and fun. Thanks Chase for making everyone feel comfortable and welcome. We'll definitely be back!

As a full figured lady I was rather scared, but Rita was awesome and helped me gain the confidence I needed to do it twice. They were very open to me going at a slower pace and the high fly was scary and fun all at the same time. I asked that they go slow with me and they did. They were excellent with my daughter (13) and she had a blast! Will go again!

Been here twice with family. Both times had a great time. Last time Sean was great with everyone, very funny and friendly. Overall the whole staff and all instructors are very friendly. I would definitely go again and take friends and family.

An awesome experience, with great vibe from the staff. Our instructor, Khai, was friendly and super knowledgeable. Definitely looking forward to future flights.

Really fun for our 3-15 yo kids. They love it. Lots of preparation for short rides but the kids were satisfied and it was fun to watch. The instructors are patient and considerate. Adults flee too and enjoyed it.

Worth doing!! Helpful staff,, Positive vibes, great facility, professional instuctors, AND TONS of fun for all ages. I'll come again.

We had the best time at iFly! Preston kept the experience high energy and made us laugh and smile the entire time. Definitely something we would do again!

This was our second time at this iFly. We got Khai as our instructor again. He was such a pleasure to work with. They are so personable and fantastic trainers. This was our son's fourth time at an iFly and Khai was able to teach him well. Khai was also working with an advanced student and it was fascinating to see him teach more advanced maneuvers. Would highly recommend! Make sure you pay extra for at least one high flight!

What a great time!!!!I will only fly here. The only wind tunnel that I've flown in and it will stay that way. The instructors are amazing and friendly.If you are working on your skydiving skills they will get you stable, it helps a great deal.( Ask for Kevin:)Also you can buy discounted price on tickets, you can purchase them after you fly as a return flight. Great deal!It's amazing what a a little wind can do😎🤘🤙

The best buisness I have ever been to hands down. the experience was amazing the service was also the friendliest service I've ever encountered every single employee was super nice my 3 year old loved his first flight experience and had it not been for the friendly staff the frightening experience could've gone the other way. I'll be recommending this place to as many people as I can especially all the kids 3 and over.

Chris is an amazing instructor! My family went together for our son's 8th birthday. Chris took great care of us from start to finish. We had so much fun flying, what an incredible feeling! This facility is very clean and we felt very safe. Highly recommend!

I truly cannot say enough good things about this tunnel. I have been flying in the tunnel about a year, and when I first started flying in Colorado in January I was still back flying. Today was my last day at the Denver tunnel before moving back to the east coast, and I’ve been signed off on all of level 3 and will begin head down once returning to NY.I’ve had the opportunity to coach with most of the staff, and each one of them has so much to offer in their teaching methods. I was so warmly welcomed into the community and quickly befriended by each of the staff member, and I certainly will be leaving a large part of my heart at this tunnel in Colorado. My time here has given me the opportunity to grow in tremendous ways, and has provided me with countless memories of laughter and the biggest smiles.Thank You so very much to each staff member. I cannot say enough positive things about what I will be taking away with me. I am so very grateful for the time I was able to spend here.

This facility has been open for quite a while, but the team here now is stellar. Super friendly, inviting, and knowledgeable. Everyone else that I saw in the building were all smiles during their visits. Great activity for all sorts of folks, plus extra fun to progress and learn more control.

The team here is amazing. They love their jobs (who wouldn't?) and it shows. They take such good care of our Girl Scout troops when they come for STEM activities too.

This was a lot of fun and a wonderful experience. The staff was helpful and friendly. They make sure you enjoy yourself.

Having so much fun learning how to fly while I learn AFF. The instructors have been super helpful on my journey. I'm gaining a lot of confidence in my second jump! I can't wait! I also can't way to share the experience with my kids now who are curious about my new hobby.

It's definitely worth a try. My kids love it, and I do it every year on their birthdays. Staff is super friendly and helpful 👌

The customer service is top notch. My daughter had a wonderful time with her instructor. The only negative is that the location must be an older one. It could use an update. The wind tunnels at other locations are much nicer / provide greater visibility.

The staff was super friendly and even allowed us to make last minute changes of fliers when my youngest decided they didn't want to take their last flight. This is such a fun experience! This facility is a little old as it was a prototype for all the other iFly facilities, but that does not make it any less fun! A great experience!

We had a small group of teenage girls who had a blast! The staff and instructors are fun and friendly. We had a lot of laughs. Great viewing area for parents or non flyers. We added the High fly option for an additional $20 per person and the girls said it was the best part! My only complaint would be it was a bit pricey coming in at $108 per person for less than an hour experience from start to finish. Other than that the girls loved it and especially taking pictures on the gear!

Fantastic! I never thought I would do anything like this. The staff were wonderful - very competent and professional. I felt safe (well, at least as safe as one can feel while lying on air).

Very cool place! Instructors are very well trained and it is obvious they love what they do! Took my son there for his 12th birthday. His instructor Khai was awesome! Very patient and made sure everyone was comfortable before stepping into the wind tunnel. Highly recommend for birthday parties, work functions, or just a place to go have some random fun at!

We went for a girl scout event and arrived a little early. We were told what room to go into. We went to the room and Catlyn told us that we could wait outside of the room. Shortly after two white females went into the room the interaction they had with Catyln seemed alot different. After we went back to room and we saw how well she interacted with them and ignored us completely. We saw how she had a full conversation with them and we didn't exist there. We felt very discriminated by her. She also doesn't seem to have the patience to deal with any kids. If it wouldn't have been for the instructors good attitude our experience would of been ruined.Edit: event happened 4/25/24 5pm-8:30, female leading Stem class was the one we were ignored by.

Chris was such a great instructor! We had so much fun and are looking forward to being able to go again. Instructions are explained very thoroughly and they walk us thru our flight experience. Everyone helped in one way or another and made the experience amazing.

This is a great mall with many shopping options and good restaurants. The mall is very clean and well laid out. They have many unique stores and vendors in the mall, like a Peloton store and a Tesla car dealership. The customer service at all stores were very friendly and helpful.

We love this mall! Found some great stuff and shoes and the food at the food court was good. So don’t mine coming back again when we are in town .

It’s awesome! Always clean. The food court is great and has many selections to choose from. The outdoor part of the mall is fabulous for my kids to run around and watch the fish. There is also an area that has artificial turf and about 10 or 12 seats available to sit and relax in the open air. Always like to come here and walk around and get ice cream!

Love the Tesla charging station right at exit. There is place to walk and stretch your legs. Tons of parking and a h8ge food court inside.

I love this mall very iconic. I was so excited once they were done with the construction being a native I've watched everywhere around this whole state grow. Go visit

Beautifully decorated, ready for the holidays. Parking was a challenge Friday evening. Most people were wearing masks. Lots of new stores that I've never heard of. The Apple store and Tesla are the most interesting to me. Go out and enjoy this beautiful "shopping resort". 😍

Super fun place expensive and very busy. It was Worth the $110 for two people. My son really enjoyed it. We did a walk in on Christmas eve. Lilly was so helpful and great. We got a little movie trailer at the end which was super funny to watch. Located at park meadows mall.

Even though malls are going the way of that of the Dodo Bird, this mall is still a prominent shopping destination filled with generally unique stores, and also a lot of big name brands from that of Bath and Body Works all the way to Nordstrom.In my recent experience with this shopping resort, I was met with a high-end experience in all of the stores I went into, even the Wetzel's Pretzels here was good. In spite of Wetzel's being arguably worse than Auntie Anne's.The Sportsfan shop here, in spite of rather discomforting prices, has an amazing array of sports team Memorabilia. They even had a plentiful amount of retro team Memorabilia (from that of the Seattle Supersonics and Boston Patriots, respectively). I ended up getting an authentic Colorado Avalanche Official Game Puck and also a Nuggets Snapback, both for only $33 at this establishment.Parking, at this shopping resort, was complex and also a plentiful enigma to get around, but we were actually able to find parking, as there were a lot of places to park on premises.Overall, this general experience was amazing at this particular establishment, and I, for certain will be returning the next time I am in the Denver area.

One of my favorite places to visit in Denver, it is a great place to stroll around and browse they have most all of the necessary department stores and a bunch of specialty stores as well. The area outside is beautiful and well lit and has quite a few very nice restaurants. There is also a traditional food court and random other places to eat scattered about the mall. Aside from the Christmas season it's never too crowded but still is a great place to people watch. If you are looking for a big traditional Mall with a very Colorado theme, I would definitely suggest visiting.

Great mall. It is full of store which is not the norms for malls. It’s clean and there is tons of shops inside and out. Love the deco of the wood cabin theam. It is very nice and just a good place to walk around

Clean, nicely decorated, all shops were open and clean. Very nice mall ample parking and great food court.

Great mall it’s not a extream luxury as cherry and there is not a outlet as castle rock. It’s a great mall to go. It’s the one that I always chose. And the best you have shake shack in the food court. Zara, north face, and more brands to see.

Lots of shops, a lot of variety of foods and a cute fountain in the middle. Had a hard time finding the bathrooms but they are at the end of the food court on the second level.

I visit Park Meadows Mall frequently to power walk. It's very clean and generally walker friendly.One concern about the mall is that two different kiosks selling skin care products on the first floor are very aggressive. The kiosk sellers approach shoppers with samples on a consistent basis. I noticed that most shoppers appear to be either irritated or confused. I feel the kiosk sellers' annoying behavior has only gotten worse.I actually witnessed a female shopper almost crash into a kiosk seller as the seller suddenly reached out to give a sample to another shopper. Therefore, kiosk sellers create a chaotic and unsafe environment as they approach random shoppers at any moment.I'm not aware that the other premier mall in Denver, the Cherry Creek Mall, has kiosk sellers who solicit customers.Even though most of the stores open at 10 am, I have walked around the mall before the stores open. Dillard's and JC Penney open at 11 am. On Sunday stores open at 11 am, except Dillard's opens at noon. Note that these are non-holiday hours.

Huge mall with a good variety of stores. Not an outlet mall. Super clean. We shopped at MAC, Hot Topic, and Attic Salt. We browsed at Coach and some store that sold all kinds of knickknacks, sundries, jewelry. Everyone was nice.

One of the best malls here in Colorado! Love this amazingly beautiful mall! It has a lot of stores with all of them being very tidy and clean. I really love going here when I can, especially the beautiful water fountain in the middle of the mall. Definitely recommend going here!

What a beautiful mall. This isn't your boring, run of the mill, shopping mall. It is intricately designed and decorated. The store selection is great, and there are a lot of food choices as well. There is plenty of parking to be had, both covered and not. The option of outdoor shops and indoor shops definitely gives you plenty of choices as well. Would love to go back next time we're in Denver.

It’s an awesome mall. Love this clean, modern, and gorgeous mall in Lone Tree. All the staff and security were friendly, HUGE dining hall (the food is great) , and has an awesome wide selection of stores to shop at! I will definitely recommend this mall to anyone!

Park meadows mall is a great example of what an indoor upscale mall is supposed to be, but is hard to find. I will drive several hours to shop here and get my retail therapy done in one in one location. I like the name brand food court options as well as the seemingly limitless options of sit down dining options surrounding the mall.

I love that I can bring my dog. Great for when it's 96 degrees out and smoke in the air. The mall itself is great. Wonderful selection of stores and all of them look clean and inviting. Hopefully, one day businesses there will accept Bitcoin as payment.

I LOVE this food court.The fire place is absolutely stunning.I was surprised to find it was not turned on today.It is a wonderful place to grab a bite to eat when shopping in the neighborhood.I really enjoy the atmosphere and the food is very good as well.

This is a really nice mall with an open, bright vibe. Clean restrooms and ample food choices.

Mall closes at 8:00. What the heck? Some stores close at 7. Half the parking is blocked off. What are they going to do when the holidays come? But the stores and the inside of the mall are nice.

This review is strictly from a hiking and outdoors perspective, not from a music perspective. We absolutely love this park, the hiking trails are nice and well maintained. The area is absolutely spectacular with not just the amphitheater, and surrounding area. The Red Rocks Amphitheater is also amazing, you have to climb the stairs at least once, it is harder than it looks. The trading post is also worth a stop. If you see one thing, explore the amphitheater. If you have more time try out some of the hiking trails for a more in depth and serene activity. Visiting after snow is also an amazing experience.

An amazing location with great acoustics. A great place for a concert but they also have events like films on the rocks and workout classes.The views are worth the climb of hundreds of stairs to the top. Even if you don't come for an event you can just come for views and hiking other days. There is also a full restaurant that is open to the public.The rows are nicely spaced so people can pass by you with out it being tight. Parking is a workout from were you park to the amphitheater. Be prepared for the climb.

I recently saw my first concert at Red Rocks Amphitheater, and it was amazing! The red rocks are stunning, and the acoustics are incredible. The sound of the music bounced off the rocks and filled the air, creating a truly immersive experience.I had never been to a concert at Red Rocks before, and I was blown away by the beauty of the venue. The amphitheater is nestled in the foothills of the Rocky Mountains, and the views of the surrounding landscape are simply breathtaking. The Denver skyline is also visible from the amphitheater, which adds to the overall beauty of the setting

Was visiting for the weekend and was taken here to see the snow. So pretty getting to see the contrast of the fresh snow on the red rocks and was a nice way to spend part of the day walking around the amphitheater in the snow.Haven't had a chance to visit for a show yet, but definitely recommend exploring in the snow if you have the opportunity to do so.

Wow what a venue. Was fortunate enough that my friend took me here when in the area. Just hiked area the place. Was a blast. What a unique venue. Loved that they allow you to check out the place during the day . The museum was a lot of fun so much cool stuff has gone down here over the years. Looking forward to coming back for a show.

What a beautiful location! We spent several hours there one afternoon.We first drove up to the Red Rocks Amphitheatre. It wasn’t busy, so we found plenty of parking in the upper north lot. There is some parking right by the Amphitheatre itself, but it is limited and you may just end up driving back down.The setting is wonderful. They were preparing for the Easter sunrise service, but you could still walk the area. We then toured the Visitor Center. It was interesting to see the number of performers who have made an appearance over the years.I wish I had thought about eating there since we arrived just after 12:30. The prices seemed reasonable for lunch, so we’ll have to try that another time.We then drove down to the Trading Post. It’s basically a gift shop. It also includes the Colorado Music Hall of Fame, but we didn’t look at that. The place had a nice variety of gifts, particularly clothing, but be prepared: it is expensive.From there we decided to hike the Trading Post Trail. The sign says it is 1.4 miles long, and it goes in a loop. It took us about 1 hour for us to complete it. The views are incredible along the trail, and I’d highly recommend it.A note about the trail. If you are facing the Trading Post and go to the left, the trail feels like a more gradual descent. If you go right, there are more steep steps. So you can decide how you want to finish the route if take the full loop.As for restrooms, we found a number of portable toilets. However, if you like a nicer restroom, we found them at the base of the stage, up by the Visitor Center and behind the Trading Post.Enjoy your trip to Red Rocks!

I had always wanted to go to Red Rocks for a concert, I just never understood what all the fuss was about. Now I fully understand. Red Rocks is an experience in itself. People get here super early and tailgate before doors open. There are multiple lots to park in (East lot being easiest walk to the gates). This is a venue where being in good shape will definitely benefit you with all the stairs, ramps, and high altitude. Getting here early is an absolute must especially in large groups. There are 70 rows, we arrived right when the first artist came out and were able to get seats in row 35, by time the second artist was on there were no more seats available. This is an absolute must for music lovers. Being submerged in the sea of people in the crowd felt unreal being there. The views, the acoustics, and the all around atmosphere at Red Rocks is unmatched. I will definalty be back in the future and only regret not making the trip sooner. Thank you Red Rocks for the most memorable Tuesday ever! I still get goosebumps thinking about it.

Bucket list checkJust this stunning and wonderful structure in the middle of these rocksThey have lots of food and drinks options at a reasonable price. The merchandise line was insane though.Be aware this place is not accessible so you will have to climb a lot of stairs regardless your age, condition or where you want to sit.Our concert was on hold for an hour, nothing to do, just wait. Their communication was great and precise.Absolutely amazing!

We go to a lot of shows and everyone who ever asked me if I have been to red rocks yet told me that I was going to love it. We absolutely did. It’s an amazing venue with an incredible history. We went to go see my friends in the Counting Crows open up for Santana. We had great weather both nights. The sound, lights, the staff and most of all the environment were all among the best we had ever experienced. Getting there is very challenging. Give yourself plenty of time to arrive as the traffic was very slow both days. Leaving there wasn’t so bad. It’s about a $30-$40 Uber from downtown Denver. Be prepared to do a lot of hiking. The venue is way up on a hill. Lots of ramps and stairs just to get to the amphitheater. Hundreds and hundreds, more to get from where we were in row 12 up to the top where the bathrooms, concessions and visitor center are. The visitor center is worth seeing, make sure you make the effort to go see the historical photos and chronological lists of shows and events held there for more than the last 100 years. It’s been used that way for thousands.

Probably the best venue to catch a concert at. Really enjoyed the show I got to catch this year. I would recommend you go for an all day event. See you in Red Rocks at night is awesome. I was seated towards the front and the eighth row and the sound was great upfront so I can imagine that the sound in the back was just as good. Definitely a place that I would like to visit again

I’m not much of a concert goer, but coming here literally had me in tears it’s so beautiful. You can come in for free when no concerts or events are happening and we got lucky enough to come in on a beautiful day when the concert that evening was doing a free run through and got to experience the magnificence of this amphitheater.All I can say is, it was borderline life changing. I will go back to a formal event here and I don’t know if any other performance venue can ever compete with this place.Also, lots of great trails around that are amazing as well. A must see!

This venue is so beautiful and just an amazing experience. You can bring in sealed water bottles or sodas and small bags of snacks. I highly recommend bringing a poncho and a small blanket or cushion to sit on. The views and sound is amazing! We also saw baby raccoons near the entrance.

Beautiful! We got there early on a Sunday, like 9am, and we managed to get a spot at the top parking area. It was such a fun experience walking around, seeing the rock formations, and enjoying the morning. There was a large group working out there in the seating area of the amphitheater, which was neat. We walked the short trail that goes by the trading post and we also walked through the visitors center- it was small but really well done! Both our kids (11 and 8) enjoyed the experience, but they struggled a little on all the stairs as it warmed up! Overall, it was such a great excursion in Denver and I’m so happy we made time to check it out!

Most memorable concert ever! I've been to many venues and this by far was the best. Make sure you are able to walk up and down hills and stairs. Our seats were actually a lot closer to the stage, but we were happy sitting in general admission up top.

one of the most beautiful and incredible places I have ever visited in the United States. It has a wonderful view, is 20 minutes from Denver, easy access, has parking, trails, family atmosphere, great for going with friends, family or alone. Take your camera because I guarantee you will take great photos. the energy of the place is incredible. I highly recommend it 10/10

I went during the day to check it out. I wasn’t aware you could visit outside of an event until someone told me. I was there in late March on the day of the first concert of the season. It was a fun experience just to walk around and see what it’s all about! The scenery is amazing and it’s a great way to spend a bit of time, especially if the weather is nice.

Beautiful place to visit if you’re looking for something fun to do in Denver. Perfect place for hiking. I wasn’t prepared for all the steps or walking but I enjoyed it just the same. Gorgeous place for a photo shoot. There was a concert that night and I could only imagine it would be magical to see a concert here. There are several parking lots with plenty of parking as well.

Absolutely breathtaking experience. We visited Red Rock on a night where there was a huge concert. " String cheese??? Apparently this group is popular. Before the opening act there was a drone show and it was amazing!! Red Rock is beautiful , we didn't go into the amphitheatre but what we were able to see was great.

Always one of the greatest places to see and hear a concert! Still has a special place in my heart and life since 1979 when I experienced my first concert here. And 45 years later, it's still so very beautiful. If you have the opportunity to see a show, do it!

This place is pretty awesome. I stopped by during a visit to Denver as I was keen to see it. There was no show unfortunately (definitely a bucket list worthy venue to watch a concert for the future) but there are trails to explore in the area and also run up and down the steps that make up the amphitheater - that’s is a hard slog. The views are pretty spectacular from the top. There is a mini museum that focuses on the geology as well as the various music concerts that have taken place. Worth the visit.

Wow what a location. It's now on my bucket list of places to see a concert. With stunning views and fantastic trails for hiking. Really enjoyed watching the people exercising at the amphitheater. This place has had the the who's who in music play to the masses. Can't wait to go back.

The venue is stunning but there is considerable effort required to experience this beautiful venue. Firstly, elevation. The venue is over 6,000 feet in elevation. Professional athletes need time to acclimate and so will you. Multiple steps and ramps are required to get you to your seat. Stay hydrated, plan ahead, and take your time. Secondly, this is an uncovered outdoor venue. Be prepared. Check the weather, pack and dress accordingly. The seat space allocated on the bench is narrow. Bring a pad or blanket to sit on for comfort. Thirdly, enjoy yourself! You're at an amazing venue enjoying wonderful entertainment! This venue demands extra work, both physically and mentally, but it is worth it!

Red Rocks Park and Amphitheatre is a must-visit destination for anyone traveling to the Denver area. The natural beauty of the park is breathtaking, and the outdoor amphitheater is a unique and memorable experience. While the climb to the top can be challenging, the views are well worth the effort. Visitors should be aware that the park can get crowded during peak times, and food options are limited. However, the park's natural trails and scenic views make it a great destination for hiking and outdoor activities.

A must for any music lover or anyone who want to have a musical experience unlike any other.Get there early for a good parking spot if you are attending a show and be prepared to walk a bit. It was not hard to get in or out of there so don’t let the parking scare you off.You can go check it out without seeing a show, just check the website for times. Check out the music hall of fame inside the trading post! Very cool stuff!

Does it even need to be said?? Red Rocks is amazing. I'll never forget my first time visiting here, nor my first concert experience here. Amazing acoustics, there really isn't a bad seat in the house!Beware that if you are coming from lower elevation, there is a lot of walking involved, and the elevation is no joke! If you can park in the upper parking lot, there will be less uphill walking involved, but it may take a bit longer to exit after the show. Please come hydrated and take the steps slow. They will get your heart rate up more than you might think!I've seen several concerts here now and all were phenomenal! We have also attended a movie showing for Dune and it was the perfect setting and a lot of fun. People will come pretty early and tailgate/hang out in the parking lots, so feel free to do that before your show. Sometimes they have free sodas for Designated Drivers up at the top by the restaurants, which I've been grateful for!Food & drinks are pricey as usual, but have been tasty when we've gotten them. The attached restaurant is actually really good if you want dinner before your show!! (You can bring in unopened alcoholic drinks & snacks in a gallon Ziploc to most shows too, just FYI!) I'd recommend bringing a rain jacket or poncho as Morrison can get random weather, as well as a seat cushion or blankets since you will just be sitting on the hard wooden bench. I love that the incline means there is not usually anyone blocking your view!

Please don't visit Denver and not go to Red Rock Park. The rock formations, colors and the amphitheater is AMAZING!!! We walked around and was in awe of the splendor of God's work.Trust me, make some time to go and spend a few hours enjoying God's creation.We have decided we will come back, as they have great shows here. We have been told by locals we will never enjoy a show the same. The acoustics are wonderful!! They have a sunrise Easter service we were told is amazing and full.

Absolutely stunning mountain venue that’s medium in size. You feel nestled in between the two rocks and the view of the valley is amazing. There really is no other venue on earth like Red Rocks. It’s extremely special. ✨👌✨Cons:This venue is not ideal for those with walking issues. You will walk a lot on cement steps that are both large and small and will stand for many hours. If you have a broken leg, bad hips, a bad back, or any other alignments like that, please heal before attending a concert. It won’t be fun for you as the stairs are unavoidable.There is also very little coverage if the weather turns sour. It’s rain or shine, so plan accordingly and always bring a good rain jacket (no umbrellas allowed). I’ve stood at RR for 6 hours in the pouring rain and was absolutely soaking after the show. Not my favorite thing to do to be honest.Lastly, since the pandemic RR has become a lot more commercialized. It used to be a local venue and now it’s outnumber with tourists. Prices have skyrocketed and it’s now very crowded. Long gone are the days (2019 and before) when RR tickets used to be $40-$50 dollars and you could buy them the week of the event. Now tickets are on average $75-$150+ a piece and sell out instantly online. RIP old Red Rocks. You were fun while you lasted.

Red Rocks Park and Amphitheatre is my favorite place to go hiking. It's located in Morrison, Colorado nestled up against the Foothills in Jefferson County (Jeffco). The Red Rocks are amazing to see. The Amphitheatre is a nice size. They have parking at the top of the Amphitheatre and there is a lot of parking at the bottom of it as well.We normally take the hiking trail that is behind the trading post at the bottom of the Amphitheatre. It takes us about an hour to complete the loop.I highly recommend going here if you are into hiking.I've never seen a concert here yet but I have seen that it is listed in many articles as one of the Worlds top concert venues that performers love to perform at.

What a unique experience at the outdoor Red Rocks Park and Amphitheatre located about 15 miles away from Denver. It’s a picturesque hiking place and a popular concert venue. We happened to be there when Sean Smith and the Saints performed. Due to an early arrival, we had no trouble with parking but be prepared to walk up and down. There are stairs everywhere! There were many vendors offering beer, sodas and food. We grabbed tacos which were super bland and the raspberry (?!) sauce did not help at all in bringing any flavor. It was cold and we were not prepared for it. More experienced music enthusiasts brought hats, gloves, sitting cushions and even blankets. Hot tea or coffee would be more suitable than cold beer or sodas.

Just visiting from California. It is a beautiful place to visit and I can only imagine how much fun it would be to see a concert here. Everything we did was free. You could walk into the museum, which had pictures and plaques on the wall of all the music artists that have ever played there. There were hiking trails, and you could sit or exercise at the amphitheater and take it all in during the day. The views were beautiful whichever way you looked. Definitely would recommend visiting during the day or seeing a concert at night.

Such a gorgeous venue. Even without watching a show/concert, just visiting the park is worth the trip! The hall of fame and art exhibit was very interesting to walk through, and the scenery is unmatched. I recommend sitting towards the middle or back of the audience, as the overlook of Denver at night is beautiful, as well as the surrounding mountains!

It's probably one of the best places to see music in the world. Just be prepared for some exercise. It's nice that you can tailgate beforehand because it can take a long time to get into the parking area if you don't get there super early. Also, it takes forever to leave the parking lot, so don't expect to get anywhere very quickly.

Such an amazing place to visit and home around. The views were spectacular. There was parking nearby but it still required a bit of a hike to get to the amphitheater. We visited when there wasn't a concert or show, but you could tell that it would be an amazing place to see your favorite band.We also went hiking up Red Rocks Trail to Dalton's point to see the full moon rise over the city of Denver. It was a beautiful place. It's a good idea to bring headlamps if you're planning on night hiking. There was still some snow and ice on the trail and a few spots were a little slick. But the hike was amazing and we timed it just right to see the moon rise. It's a must see.

Truly a one of a kind venue. Rain wind and snow are frequent and when they aren’t the sun can be harsh. If you are here for a concert, there are multiple lots and it can be a hike to reach the venue. There are often free shuttles to the top so don’t get scammed if you’re not willing and able to hike.

Stunning venue in the most beautiful location possible! I can't say anything bad about this place. It was easy to park and get around, food and drink prices were reasonable. We went back in the morning to watch sunrise, 100s of people thought the same thing and were rewarded with a spectacular dawn.

While I was unable to attend a concert here, I am so glad I went out of my way to see this impressive venue. Red Rocks is absolutely a must see for anyone visiting Denver! Parking was simple and I was able to walk the paths into the amphitheater, taking photos along the way and even on the stage.The information available online was a bit confusing and I was concerned that it was going to be closed when I arrived at nearly 5PM, but it was not and does not appear to close to visitors during daylight hours.The restrooms at the visitors center were a welcome surprise and were well kept.

Amazing natural amphitheater with tremendous views of the landscape and geological features. The museum and the the grounds are truly amazing. If there's a band playing here that you love, this is the place to see them.And even if there's no band playing, it's worth the day trip just to check out the area.

Wow....I consider this to be one of the best venues in the US....lol...granted I have limited experience to actually state this. The venue itself is so special and beautiful. The sound was perfect (where we sat at least). Recommend bringing a light rain jacket as weather can be somewhat unpredictable. Decent food and drink vendor selection. The seating might be different from other concert venues, as each row consists simply of a single "bench" with seat numbers...so no clearly defined "edges" of your space. Overall, great venue!

We went in march and it was fun. Really cool to see it in person finally. Parking was kind of far from the entrance due to construction or snow or all of the above and it was quite a workout just to see the amphitheater. Definitely worth it at least once.

Absolutely outstanding location… the view is absolutely beautiful up there. But please know it’s not for the faint of heart walking up the auditorium stairs to get to the top. But when you are at the top the Visitors Center, stop there for the museum. The museum for the Amphitheater showcases the artists who have performed over the decades… great list of performers. The view is also great back there. And before you take your self off the mountain you have to stop at the shop on the way down… I can’t say it enough… the view the view the view… so good. And it doesn’t hurt to buy a souvenir to remember your trip.

Definitely a must-visit during a Denver trip. Never had the privilege of going to a concert here, but glad I finally got to visit the majestic amphitheatre against the backdrop of the gorgeous red rocks. Also enjoyed hiking the Trading Post trail. The 1.4 miles definitely felt like 3.1 miles, but it was a great way to start the day. 🥾

Absolutely lives up to the hype. Best concert venue I've ever been to. The acoustics are incredible and the venue is truly one of a kind. Highly recommend going at least once!

An experience. A must see on your visit to Denver. It's hard to describe the majesty of this place. You just have to see it. From the Native Americans who first discovered this natural amphitheater to the current visits, it's no wonder why it's a must see area near Denver, CO. A variety of parking available. Convenient bathrooms which are also accessible. There are restaurants there and siting areas as well. Drive with caution driving to this amphitheater. 5-stars!

My first visit to red rocks was AMAZING. The whole area is really beautiful. There are hiking trails you can enjoy during certain times, but I was on a whirlwind trip and I didn’t have the time to enjoy the area in that way. I was there for the Portugal. The man show. I got to watch the sunset at the venue as my friend and I enjoyed Teagan and Sara opening the show. The sound was great, the venue beautiful, and the facilities accessible and clean! The weather was perfect, the crowd was super fun and I had a blast watching the show. I brought a bleacher chair and went through extra check at security. They got me through very quickly and were very nice. In the bathroom line, an attendant came over and led people to the other bathrooms with high capacity and no lines. They really made sure everyone was informed and taken care of. 5/5 for the staff!

What is there to say about this iconic venue that hasn’t been said before? I came here to view the sunrise with a colleague and, having only seen photos, was excited to visit. I was blown away by the natural beauty and the perfect orientation to the east for an unforgettable sunrise experience! Note that if you are sensitive to the low oxygen, be weary of the long flights of stairs to climb to get up to the top of the amphitheater.I did not have a chance to see a concert here but will be back for one soon!

This gorgeous place was on my bucket list. I always wanted to come here for a concert but I didn't gte that experience the first time around. Fortunately, this place is breathtaking even in the winter. Don't hesitate to explore just because the weather isn't perfect. You won't regret it

Beautiful beautiful beautiful! But Just get ready to do some exercise, there is stairs if you park at the bottom, or you can park at the top and walk way more less and appreciated the view from top.About schedules: they close to the public by 4pm or earlier if there an Event, so be careful in planning to visit during the weekend, I’ll recommend to check online.Have fun! And keep it clean, and magical 🫶🏻

Fantastic place to visit for the park or to attend a concert.If going to a concert arrive early as the way in is limited as well as close parking. We had to park at the entrance which was about a 40 minute uphill walk. We chose to take a taxi ride to the top for about $10 each. Since we didn’t pay for parking it was a fair trade off. The walk back after the concert was easy enough.Restaurant, gift shop and small museum are on site and worth a checkin but the star is the Amphitheater and the park!

I'm so glad I had time while on a work trip to visit this place! It is amazing. The hike is manageable and the scenery is breathtaking. We spotted some deer while walking around. There are a couple of trails. Take water along if planning for a hike and do be aware of rattlesnakes. We didn't spot any, but you just never know. It is clean and well kept. The amphitheater is fantastic and there is a free museum all the way at the top that provides some history of the place and all of the performers and movies screened there. It was nostalgic looking through all that and I'd love to go there for a concert, seems amazing. There is also a water fountain at the top to fill your bottle.

Incredible experience. One point everyone put on their flashlights (no lighters anymore, I guess), and the place was magical! Every musician wants to play here, so they put on their BEST show.The climb isn't easy, no matter which way you enter. Lots of stairs and/or ramps that are steep. Most everyone stops along the way to catch their breath. Wear comfy shoes!If you only get to go once, spring for the first 15 rows. So, so worth it. If you get to go a lot, then you know that acoustics are great, so sitting up high still gives you a good experience.Rain and cold can happen any time, so bring a jacket. Seats are hard, so sitting on your jacket is a bonus.People fly in from all over the country to experience what is basically at our back door. (Colorado Springs is a 2 hr drive) So take advantage whenever you can. We stayed in downtown Denver and took the Union Station shuttle here. It was our first time doing this, and it really cut out all the stress of driving. Again, it's worth the cost for a special occasion.

Red Rocks Park and amphitheatre are a must see. It's free to enter in the morning when there are no events or if you want to hike the surrounding trails, you're more than able to. It was cool to see that they have a little rock n roll hall of Fame building nearby.We visited the amphitheatre on a Saturday morning and there are a lot of people that like to workout within the rows of steps there. Great people watching there. Great hiking trails that are free surrounding Red Rocks.

What a hell of an experience here. We came for the Turnpike Troubadour concert on 5/9. The acoustics were great and the views were incredible. Get there early so your Uber can take you to the very top or you'll be in for a hike that you may not be prepared for. Highly recommend this place for a concert.

A very beautiful venue! Wish we had more time & could have heard a concert here. So many legends have played here!We really enjoyed the museum. It had a lot of history on how it was built and all the performers that ever played there were displayed nicely! Lots of parking. The day we visited it was raining so our pictures were limited to the beauty that surrounds it. Super cool!

One of the best concert venues I have ever been to!! Beautiful. Stunning. Amazing acoustics. Perfect location and scenery. Went and saw Sublime with Rome and Cypress Hill back in April. Weather wasn’t the best but so worth it! Alcoholic drinks are $$$ and you’re allowed to smoke, if ya know what I mean. Open seating. People had blankets and everything. Be prepared to walk from the parking lots to the very top! It’s further than it looks 😅

finally got to experience this venue for my favorite band, the head and the heart. it was absolutely incredible! I wish I was able to get here earlier to see it with less people but I guess that means I have to come back. Only got distracted for a bit by the raccoon in the tree nearbyI would pay extra to get actual seats next time instead of general admission

Great place to clear mind and soul. The stairs walking up the shrine is little hard for people who’s not use to elevation but the spirits around you will help you get through it. Looks of little reads as you walk through the stairs of station of the cross. Great visit and nice overlooking view when you reach the top. You can even see downtown when clouds are clear. Quiet place and beautiful scenery. Pray and meditate.

The solemnity of this space will bring on a fair share of emotions, for me, on Thanksgiving Day, I chose express gratitude.I am grateful that truly quiet and meditative spaces still exist in our very connected world.After traveling up 70W to 40, as you wind around the road, you will see the long gated driveway. Travel up to the top and park in the lot by the entrance to the spring or the chapel.Climb up the stairs if you want to visit the shrine, or walk toward the bathrooms if you want to visit the spring, or walk over to the museum, garden, chapel, or gift shop (at the parking lot level).Honestly, it didn’t feel right taking pictures, this is a resting place for some and a memorial for others, so I am simply sharing pictures from the Meditation Walk, Museum, and Chapel.Blessings.

The trail up to the statue is amazing. Steps in tens so you can pray the rosary. Stations of the cross on the way up. The chapel and gift shop are gorgeous. Amazing views, absolute must visit

Amazing peaceful, beautiful retreat and pilgrimage site. I was most blessed to stay in the hermitage. Make sure to bring your own toiletries, but towels and sheets are provided. Also, paper and plastic serving wear is provided, but bring your own reusable utensils. The food tasted homemade and absolutely scrumptious, breakfast, lunch and dinner with tasty desserts! There were so many places to walk and pray, one can find serenity and peace here.

We joined the Shrine Chapel's congregation for Mass at 800 am on Sunday morning, just two days after watching the premiere of Cabrini on the big screen. It was a great service with a powerful message. My wife and I were both struck by the beauty of stained glass windows lining the walls of the building. Afterward, we climbed the staircase to check out the statue of Jesus and thoroughly enjoyed the views. Shout out to my wife, who braved the icy steps in a pair of heels. Afterward, we visited the Grotto Chapel, made a donation, and lit candles while sharing in a prayer. Finally, we sipped water from Cabrini's miracle spring and completed a lap in the Rosary garden. It was a great morning, and concluded a weekend honoring this great Saint and her good works. Everyone in Colorado, regardless of faith, should visit and enjoy this unique homage to Mother Cabrini.

This place is so beautiful. I bring friends from out of town all the time even if they’re not Catholic. You most likely won’t get service up there. But the drive is amazing and it’s super close to Denver. If you would like to buy a candle that you can light in the chapel, you do need to go inside of the Gift shop. The candles are five dollars for a smaller one. You can also pay a dollar to light a tea light candle inside the chapel as well. But the chapel is down below by the entry to the stairs of the statue.They are currently doing construction but there are no issues getting into the building. During the week there’s only one staff working and during the weekend there’s a couple more which makes it faster. We definitely recommend buying a candle and then going and lighting in the chapel. There’s so many things to see. If you’re willing to do the stairs it’s definitely a hike, you want to make sure that you take some water with you and wear good shoes. But the view is amazing. And of course, the statue at the top is worth it as well. This is just one of those places that you have to come and see there’s nothing that can describe in words. A little piece of Heaven on heart.

Absolutely beautiful! Such a peaceful holy place to be in.

This place was beautiful and felt good being there with my family. 67 yrs old didn’t stop my mom from walking 365 steps up.

Been twice in the last 2 weeks..something about this drive, and the visiting the gift shop. Feel a great sense of peace and inner joy. Definitely recommend this for your loved ones or just a day trip with you favorite person.

Very serene and spiritual place to go!

A beautiful place for prayer, and the home of a great patroness of Colorado.I love making small pilgrimages up here every so often to pray and reflect. Here’s a basic itinerary you can use!Typically, I will start by praying a Divine Mercy Chaplet as I walk down to the fountains that have the miraculous water. I drink the water and say a prayer to enter into Jesus’ Thirst. Then, I will pray the stations of the cross up to the Jesus statue. After some silence at the top, I will pray a rosary on the way back down the stairs and end with a prayer in the Chapel. If you can attend Mass while here, even better.Be sure to check out the gift shop and learn the history of Mother Cabrini and this holy site.

Beautiful pilgrimage experience. Grotto, rosary garden, stations of the cross, Divine Mercy statue and the 10 commandments all gave me a sense of renewed faith. It was like a Catholic buffet! All you should eat!

Loved it. Take water, sunscreen, and motivation. There is so much to do and see, and enjoy. Did not go into the church since they were having an event. Free, so take your friends and family.

My first time visiting and I was not disappointed. The views are beautiful from here where you can see gorgeous rolling hills with the plains and downtown Denver, DTC and chatfield lake. There are 390 steps from the parking lot to the statue. Definitely worth it! There is also a small chapel, museum, gift shop, and a couple small gardens. Not far into the mountain and it's definitely worth a visit!

The views from Lookout Mountain are really incredible! I came here with friends a few years ago while visiting Golden, CO & it was an awesome experience. The drive to the top is really beautiful, too!

One of the most beautiful public spots in all of Denver to watch the sunrise! Go see for yourself the beauty and grandeur that nature offers. All you have to do is stop, and look around you!

Lookout Mountain is always a nice place to take a hike with family and/or friends. You can also have a picnic or barbeque here, but check with park services beforehand. It is somewhat busy on weekends with many locals and travelers around. Every once and a while you may catch a nice car in the parking lot.

Views of mountains- snow capped, rocky, and prairie looking. Can see city views too. You can see as far as your eyes will let you. When we were there today, hang gliders soared over the clearings! We took a mountain road up and a mountain road down…..no comparison to the main highway. The views are breathtaking if you dare look out the windows to the sides. 😵. I did a lot of holding on and eyes closed!

Beautiful drive up to the Lookout. The views are free with little walking to get to. Highly recommend even if you have to go out of your way to see. There’s views all the way up and all the way down. Mind the bicyclists along the route.

Awesome escape from Denver to see Buffalo Bills grave and museum, along with some spectacular views!

This place is amazing. The views are outstanding! I'm so glad I came to this. Because it was on my way to the airport to go home. I already miss Colorado so much!

Great view onto the Eastern planes and Denver. Buffalo Bill's grave is also there. Very cool view of the twin mesas leading into the mountains.

RIP Buffalo Bill. You led an incredible life. While I can’t dig up the grave to confirm you’re buried in Colorado and not in Wyoming, the signs swear that you’re under a ton of concrete in this hallowed ground. The views are excellent. There’s a cute touristy store nearby that does their own fudge and serves ice cream. There was a small museum also, but that was closed when we were there.

Completely stunning. I drove up for sunset on a whim and it was one of the most awe inspiring things I've done in my life.

Beautiful spot at night to enjoy both nature and the stunning views of the cities from the mountains!

Came here to do some hiking. It was the beginning of March. We did find some signs to find some trailheads, we started down a few and then they turned to ice and nobody had yak tracks so we didn't get to go very far on any of the trails. It was a very pretty spot. There were some places to look out over the valley.

Oh, I think the major issue is that on the times that people actually had to be able to go see it and when people are vacation is typically the weekend I get that they rent it out for wedding venues, but Truly would love to be able to see it without actually having to miss work. The crowns are beautiful plenty of parking. Easy to get to.

One of the most beautiful and breath-taking views I have EVER seen! Absolutely gorgeous. Going up the mountain I certainly felt the difference in heart rate and breathing but upon stepping out of the car for fresh air it began to calm. The air feels softer here. The trail is amazing all the way around. Wonderful sights to see when the snow is melting down. The parking areas are small spaced but available every so often. Rest areas available quite frequent as well. Perfect place to watch the sunrise/sunset or enjoy a nice picnic in the outdoors.

Beautiful views of Colorado, even in the winter! Huge parkinglot and very nice gift shop that has just about any kind of souvenirs. Food items, snacks, and home made fudge. Women's restroom is inside but the men's is outside and seems to have been locked, so definitely hit up a restroom before coming here.

Wanted to get some fresh air to clear my head took this short drive from my place and went to the lookout mountain,I love the drive going up hill and down the hill overlooking the city Unfortunately it started raining so I didn't get to hike down the trails.theres the Buffalo bill museum once you get to the top and a gift shop.

Beautiful views of the city of Golden. You can see Coors Brewery as well. Interesting drive from Golden to the top. Windy and much colder than down in the city. Free parking, Buffalo Bill Grave and museum close by.

So beautiful up here and so peaceful

Breathtaking public space so close to Denver. You must visit!

I have had the pleasure of photographing several elopements now at Lookout Mountain, in all seasons of the year! Whether it's summer and sunny, or 10 degrees and snow covered, this is such a breathtaking place to say 'I do'! We are so fortunate to have such a beautiful spot just minutes from downtown Denver, with wide open mountain views, beautiful groves of trees, and wonderful hiking trails. If you are planning an intimate elopement, you can't go wrong here!

If you have an hour to spare, and you were visiting near Golden Colorado… You must go up here! It's not that far of a drive, just passed the Coors brewery, maybe about 20 minutes up… And you'll come across one hell of a view! Buffalo Bills museum, and him, and his wife's burial site. An awesome little store with numerous souvenirs to purchase, a delicious, buffalo burger joint, and really wholesome friendly staff. But you don't have to take my word for it… Get up there and check it out for yourself. Safe travels.

Always love going up here when I need to clear my mind. Was having a rough week and a ride up the mountain on the ninja was the boost I needed. It was a bit of a stormy day which made for some bmgood pictures.

Absolutely beautiful views. Worth the short switchback road to the top. Watch your speed as there are cyclists sharing the road.

Fantastic view, definitely worth the trip.

This was an excellent museum that contained the personal belongings of William Cody along with a vast display of posters for his various performances. The film of his life story was excellent and recently updated. The museum presented a balanced view of his extensive career and was very well laid out. Very educational for all ages. He was forward thinking pro-women’s rights and pro-native American rights. With his successes came failures which were accurately described. There is a lunch place and gift shop next door. The grave is beautifully preserved and of course the panoramic view from Lookout Mountain is amazing. There is a lot to absorb so give yourself time to really explore the exhibits.

What a wonderful walk back into history. The museum is a wonderful 1st class facility full of so much information. Then when you step outside, The view is stunningly Beautiful. It takes your breath away. And I don't mean High elevation 😁 wise. Between the observation deck looking down on Denver and being surrounded by the Mountains 🏔️. And if that's not enough, go to the restaurant and grab a Bison burger or a bowl of Bison chili, and finish that with some Ice cream. After you have enjoyed all of that, I then suggest walking into the awesome gift shop. Finally when you walk out of the gift shop take the small hike up to Buffalo Bills Gravesite.What a wonderful time we had.

My husband and I absolutely loved this place. We plan to come back on our next visit to Colorado. The exhibits and history were put together so well. The burial site is so peaceful and even more history. Great selection of tshirts and other memorabilia available in the gift shop. The burgers at the cafe were excellent. Only problem I experienced is that I inquired about purchasing one of the reusable bags and was told by the young man working that I had to spend $50 in order to get one. My purchase was less than that so no bag! Great experience overall.

Absolute gem in a beautiful mountaintop location! A well executed museum that has some really interesting artifacts related to Buffalo Bill Cody and the people who worked in his Wild West Show.

I was glad I finally made it up here with a friend who’d already been. We walked up from the lower parking. And the people before us paid it forward so my friend and I got in for free. We came in partway through the educational video and loved it, kudos to the museum for making it. The exhibits were neat too, I like sitting on the horse that moves, the jolt was surprising haha. I enjoyed my time here. You can visit the grave and not the museum, but I got something out of it. I also loved the gift shop. So many quirky things!

Really enjoyed our visit! You'll want to spend at least an hour looking through the exhibits - a lot of historical Buffalo Bill items. But would start with the short video presentation that nicely outlines his somewhat complex life. A very nice gift shop, packed with a lot of souvenir items, but at reasonable prices.

wow, an exciting place to visit if you like history. But it's atop lookout mountain, so beware the roads are narrow, very steep, twisty going up and down. And people on bicycles have the right of way. so you have to be careful. 5 mph is the limit. And it's chilly up there, even in August.

The gentleman who checked us in was very memorable, funny and sweet. He took a genuine interest in making sure me and my husband enjoyed ourselves.Don't skip the movie! It's only 20min and if full of wonderful information.There isna short walk to the grave site and it has beautiful views.

What a cool thing to stumble upon. I had no idea this was here, and saw the sign as we were driving up to the Georgetown Mines. So on the way back I had suggested a detour to stop and see one of the most famous wild west men to ever live. His story is super fascinating and they have alot of really great artifacts of his. I highly recommend the stop. The museum is only five dollars, and really something you can't pass up at that price. It is not huge, I think it took me about 20 min to see each exhibit and read the signs and stuff, it could have been longer if I had watched the movies. They also have a cool spot for the kids to dress up in wild west outfits and get pictures taken.

Awesome place to visit if you’re into the history of the Wild West! The museum was very informative and Buffalo Bill’s grave is a short but beautiful walk nearby. For only $5, this museum offers so much. A cafe is also located next to the museum but I didn’t visit it this time around. The surrounding landscape is epic and there is plenty of parking! Be sure to visit Lookout Mountain Park nearby for some added views and adventure!

Small and informative, awesome stop if you’re in golden. It can oversee the town but make sure to watch the 20 min video. It’s crazy to think buffalo bill did all this a little over a 100 years ago.

Lookout Mountain is a nice trip. The views are great. The museum is inexpensive and the grave is nearby.

This was a fun quick stop! The view is very beautiful! It was free to walk up and see his grave! It was a small walk up hill so everyone should be able to do that without problems. The store is like any other tourist trap… all the same and overpriced. But Definitely beautiful! RIP Brother Bill!

Great display! And very informative. However, I was a little upset that the gift shop and cafe will be closing soon as politics always dictate. SAD!

I was here for my birthday. They have the most amazing view. And so much information on Buffalo Bill and his life. They have a movie you can watch at any time during your visit. And you can dress up like a cowboy or girl.

A lot of fun! It was a beautiful drive up the mountain and a great view! In the museum, there was a lot of cool info on Buffalo Bill and his life and impact. Lots of really cool artifacts and the video was cool! The kid area was well done and would be great for kids of all ages.

Definitely make this stop while you're driving over Lookout mountain on the Lariat loop! A very short walk to the ornate gravesite of the famous Buffalo Bill - includes scenic views from the parking lot, informative signs, and a full gift shop with a small cafe that serves some food and beverages! There is an option to walk on trails that connect to Lookout Mountain Park as well.

A Great museum to learn about the wild wild West. Buffalo 🦬 Bill was one tough dude and a great friend to the American Indians. And way before I was born he brought his show to my hometown in Alabama. It must have been something to see. Buffalo Bills museum is a must see if you love the old West. 🦬🦬🦬

Didn’t know anything going in, and while the museum is small it packed a lot of information in and I learned a lot. On top of that, amazing views from lookout mountain and a fun gift shop as well. A worthy tourist spot even though the whole process probably takes 45 minutes at most.

Great views from the top of the mountain. No wonder Buffalo Bill wanted this to be his resting place. Very well kept, clean and well lit, signage throughout. Short walk up the hill to the grave. Nice gift shop with great gift ideas and handmade items. A small cafe. A great museum with a great story. I would highly recommend?

Look out mountain and Buffalo Bills Grave and Museum Golden ColoradoMuseum is Free:THE FIRST WEDNESDAY OF EACH MONTH, NOVEMBER THROUGH APRIL!There’s plenty to see and doAn extensive museum, the grave site, picnic area, trails and buffalo view are great.The gift shop is really cool too.If you like the Old West the Buffalo Bills Museum is a great one. I’ve also been to the one in LeClare Iowa.

Beautiful view ❤️ 🤩The museum isn’t expensive and very educational! They have a little gift shop and snack bar as well. It is also very peaceful to just sit outside for a little while seating was available behind the museum. Very family friendly!

We were going to take some hiking lookout mountain trails but we stopped here first and we walked up. It's a small walk up a hill and you see Buffalo Bill's grave and you find out a little bit about him and who he was what he did. There is a quaint little shop at the bottom of the hill that we really enjoy going through. Bought some stuff there. It is a museum but it wasn't opened at that time so we didn't go in there, but did we walk around the area? And we're saw some pretty good lookout spots. Very nice. Without the museum I took about 45 minutes to walk around and look at everything

Lived out here for almost 37 years, and have never been up here to see this place. There’s not much to look at it. We went on a Saturday and it wasn’t busy at all. There’s a mini food court and a museum that you have to pay to go into. Overall, it was a quick trip that we stayed for less than a 30 mins to look at.

Really awesome. A must for anybody like likes history or the old west. The drive up was fun, awesome views, gift shop, grave and the exhibits are amazing. Very affordable to get in and I spent several hours here. Best 5 bucks I've spent in a while.

I absolutely loved this place....well kept...people were friendly... The museum was outstanding....the gentleman at the door was so happy and friendly....i would highly recommend this place

Really enjoyed the Buffalo Bill Museum free day! I went in with minimal knowledge about this man (My companion laughed at me for thinking it was going to be about the NFL… 😂). Loved learning about this cool guy. Would recommend to anyone!

What a treasure to find. Wonderful museum, grill, and gift shop. The view is spectacular! Highly recommend this special place.

We would have liked this place more if the museum didn't close at 5PM. The grounds were good and the grave was a lot of info. It's a beautiful place to go visit.

Gorgeous and clean shopping center. There are many food options as well as shave ice and froyo. There is a fun water feature that my kids turned into a splash pad, I'm not sure if that's what it's for bc no other children were running through it. There was also a beautiful fire pit surrounded with a dozen chairs to sit,relax and warm up. I wish there were a few more clothing shopping stores available

We found this great restaurant to dine once we landed in Denver! It was our 1st place to visit and well worth it! The portions were large and the food was good!

I have been going to Southlands since about 2008! I have watched it grow and change! I love this shopping center! It's got such a great atmosphere for walking and shopping and a really great selection of stores. It's really big so you'll have to choose to walk the outdoor shopping mall or drive to the outlying big stores such as Wal-Mart, Sam's Club or Best Buy. One of the best parts of Southlands is that they also have events and they turn their main gathering place in front of the movie theater into a skating rink during winter months!

It has some great shops and restaurants but seems to have a high tenant turnover so don’t get too attached to a place.

I went in here for camera film cartridges, and I was 8 months pregnant. I couldn't get anyone to tell me where I might look for the cartridges. When I did find them, I went to check out, not realizing they only had one line. So I got into one with the sign that said checkout. I was then looked at like I was an idiot and the cashier at the desk told his other coworker on the desk, "Do these people in line first they were in line." I'm sorry, but that's not okay. Don't have a sign over the checkout when you want people to check out at customer service. Keep in mind there was NO sign saying this, so I didn't know. VERY rude male staff if you're a woman. The lady who checked me out was very nice, but my goodness. I won't be back to this location again.

This is a great outdoor mall that has a little of everything! It has a theatre, lots of cafes and restaurants, clothing stores, a Barnes and Noble, and specialty shops. It is a fantastic place to go on a beautiful day to grab some ice cream or a coffee and just wander around.

Favorite mall in the area! Great setup with some of my favorite shops (The Local, Savory Spice, Barnes & Noble, etc.). The Dine-In AMC Theatre here is wonderful as well! Beautiful place to stroll around when the weather is nice (outdoor mall).

Very nice beautiful area with many things to do. Wide variety of stores to choose from and they have a spray park for kids as well free of charge. Lights are hung up for the night that make the street ways nice for walking around.

Always love visiting the Southlands area. Kept very clean and inviting. The shops are great. Make sure to stop by the Savory Spice Shop, you won't be disappointed and will find some amazing things. And Chris and his team will take good care of you.

This is a great outdoor mall. I like to walk around here and pop into the different stores. A wide variety of stores are available to meet most needs. The flowers they put up during the spring and summer are beautiful. The ice skating rink during the winter is a fun family stop. The place is always clean and kept neat.

For an outdoor mall, this place is not very pedestrian friendly. Notably, the bathrooms are up the stairs in a sketchy back alley. They have no ramp or automatic door opener. Not sure how this is ADA compliant. It’s not easy for a mom with an infant and toddler to get around either. This place could put more stop signs in at cross walks along the mall too. Blazing hot in the summer too. Could use more shade.

My friend took me to dinner at Red Lobster for my birthday. I wanted lobster but it was $46.00 & I couldn't let my friend pay that much.

I came in with 9 of my friends and our servers Caleb and Tanner were fantastic! They gave us tons of drink refills and were always there if we needed something. It was one of my friends birthday and the manager Amber personally came up to the table and wished us a happy birthday. She was so friendly and considerate and she gave us a free dessert. She made me feel extremely welcomed and I will definitely be coming back.

I always enjoy visiting Southlands. During the summer the splash pad is a hit. My family loves to visit the movies, then sit on the lawn area and let the little ones run around. In the winter the ice rink is a big hit. Lots of great shops, clean area and variety of places to eat.

Upscale, nice, safe place to shop. With a wonderful courtyard with fountains for kids to play in. They also have free concerts on Thursday nights throughout the summer! Great place to spend an afternoon!

Staying open during a winter storm warning when literally every other shopping center delayed or closed within the area is crazy.Roads are awful. But glad to know making money is worth more than employees lives.

Outdoor mall… well if you want to call it that. Most stores have gone out of business. It once was a great place with lots of store options however that time has come and gone. A breakfast place closed down after one year of being there. Also there has been an empty space where a GREAT bar (McCabes Irish pub) once was located- empty for years now… sad to see such a nice outdoor mall go to waste when it comes to shopping and fun.

Very nice place to go for lunch or dinner or ice cream! Everything was put together with a great purpose! This place is very safe and well lit! Plenty of parking and so many places for doing shopping!

All new buildings it seems. Drive in was uncluttered this time of the day on Sunday. Sam’s Walmart buffalo wings . Good traffic in and out is my best point.

Lots of interesting things to do and enjoy. it down the street from my house you can get all your shopping done in one area. different places to enjoy your meals the movie theater is clean and worthy.in the middle of the square they have the water fountains for the kids to run through and at night it's a nice little place for live music.It's definitely worth the time and energy to come here and relax but that being said at the same time many other people also want the same thing so be ready for some crazy traffic on different days it varies also the parking can be a challenge.

The taiyaki here is made fresh and is very good, they have Nutella and red bean flavor (though they have fun out of red bean before). The place has a nice vibe though and the staff was very friendly.

Went to Chili's and had the worst server ever...he was very forgetful. His name was Mason. We put in an appetizer order and I asked him about it twice. The 2nd time he was like what appetizer so I told him and he said oh I forgot...He didn't remember drink orders so it wasn't a pleasant experience. I still tipped him 20% and will just write another review on Yelp. The food, once we got it, was good.

Christmas at our mall is special. The ice skating ring is so nice, with music playing and everyone so cheerful.

If you want to enjoy beaches in Denver, aurora reservoir is one of the few options we have. It is located in the outskirts of Arapahoe County and easily accessible. The beaches are reasonably clean and you can boat swim and fish with your family and friends. Plenty of parking, restrooms and picnic spots for you to enjoy the weekends. Remember, this is not a state park so you have to buy entry tickets for 15 dollars in the weekends. Definitely recommend

My favorite place to hike and fish close to home, always clean bathrooms and trails, the rangers and staff make you feel welcome and the most amazing they will move out of the trails making sure you and your dog are safe. They take always time to answer and educate yourself about this beautiful place in Colorado.

Great place to catch some sun. They have a beach area. You can rent paddle boards or kayaks per hour. Kayaks are $20 an hour. The time flys so keep track of your time on the water. Lots of parking. Definitely highly recommend this location to chill with family or friends. Come check it out to cool off.

Beautiful fake beach… when you miss the California beach … nice sitting areas parking was good

Busy on July 4th weekend. Water appears clean. Swimming area is small and crowded but a separate lap swimming area was available. Lifeguards were on duty. $10/vehicle to enter. Kayaks/paddle boards available to rent. Electric motor boats only. Dogs allowed on grassy area only (not on sand). Families bring tents and grills as well as speakers so expect dueling soundtracks. Bathrooms are gross but not terrible (not the worse that I’ve seen at a public beach) and only foot showers available.

An incredible reservoir/beach/park that has everything you need for a great weekend beach visit (for Colorado). A purchased day pass or season pass is required to get in, but the season pass is very well priced for a whole year of access to this body of water! Went last week with our dog to learn the area and it was a great time not even getting in the water at all. This weekend we went out early to go paddle boarding/kayaking and the experience was next to none. Beautiful calm blue water and great views of Colorado that stretches for miles completes the experience of a great boating session! I anticipate many more visits here as this small little area packs a lot of fun!

I love this lake!! Been coming here since I was a little girl. Water is way cleaner than other lakes I know... it gets full but fun ambient

Aurora reservoir is good picnic place.. it has multiple picnic tables, grills.. people celebrate birthday at this place.. water is clean, lifeguards are on duty.. entry fee for non residents is 10 dollars.. restrooms are available and are maintained.. showers are available inside.. parking is adequate.. you can rent kayaks and boats..

Poor experience all around and will not come back. Came with a few friends and our dog. Our dog wasn’t allowed anywhere near the beach or water. No music, no drinks and you aren’t even allowed to float on an inner tube in the lake. Theres a swim beach that is so small you are shoulder to shoulder with all the toddlers swimming, was not a relaxing lake day at ALL. They make you get out of the water every 30 minutes for 15 minutes. Rangers are everywhere. State park pass doesn’t cover so had to pay $15, biggest waste of money for an hour at the park. Early closure as well.

Really nice place for family picnics, you are gonna have very great moments

I had a great time with my family. There is a beach with lifeguards. Children's playground, places for cooking meat. Everything is clean and tidy

Nice open areas clean picnic areas, room to walk, ride bikes , walk your dog or sit under a shady tree

Wow! This place was beautiful! Other than the hefty $15 entry fee, it was perfect! Brought the Kayak and SUP boards out! Nice sandy beach with room on the weekend!

Fun sandy beach for a summer swim. Water in July was a little cool but perfectly swimmable. There's a playground for little ones and separated shallow wading area, swimming lanes, and boat area.

The reservoir is a staple in the community. I was a little surprised to see that they raised the weekend price to 15$ instead of the standard 10$ no matter the day. regardless we took our paddle board, our kayaks, canoes and dog to the beach. Dogs are allowed as long as they stay on the opposite side of the white fence ( not on the actual beach) but it’s still pretty close to the water line where we were swimming/using the water products. There is many people on the water using kayaks and canoes, the same rules stand that only electric motors are allowed , nothing with gas or chemicals like that. Good to know that they continue to care for the well being of the water quality. The quality of the bathrooms were also quite nice. Very clean and multiples stalls available. Very nice place to spend the day with family and friends.

+ Clean?+ Spacious+ Water Quality+ Volleyball- Small Swimming Area- New Limited Weekend HoursThe popular volleyball and grill area is dirty and usually crowded, but there are plenty of bathroom stalls there. The workaround for the crowding is to set up at the lower level where there is less space and no restrooms, but more space and a cleaner area to be in. The cleaner area is closer to the swamps so there are more mosquitoes 🦟 but that's probably the biggest trade-off. I don't mind walking to the restrooms.

Swim area is tiny, maybe 24ft in width. 15 minute "safety briefs" that force people out of the water are too frequent. You have 5+ lifeguards to split shifts. Come on. Otherwise, decent area. Bring lots of water.

Great place to get out on the water close to town. The beach is fun, lots of picnic areas, a rental shop, and restrooms.

A definite respet from the daily grind. Quiet and quant during the week. Lively and happening on weekends. The lake is amazing... especially without motorized boats... a very tranquil experience paddle boarding. Great picnic places and a beautiful walking trail around the lake.

The stunning lake boasts crystal clear water free from gas motors, making it the perfect spot to catch a glimpse of a giant rainbow trout. With two state fish records already under its belt, it's only a matter of time before this becomes a gold medal fishing spot. The eight-mile loop surrounding the lake offers breathtaking views of the natural surroundings and a plethora of wildlife sightings. Keep an eye out for deer, antelope, coyotes, snakes, bald eagles, and a variety of fascinating water birds that call this area home. Each moment spent exploring this beautiful landscape is sure to be unforgettable.

As a native of Colorado, surprisingly, I've never been here. I came out for a birthday party and was pleasantly surprised by the amount of open space on the beach and throughout the park. There was plenty of parking, paved ramps leading to the beach, and not too many people swimming in the dedicated swimming area. The restrooms were clean, and so was the beach. There were several lifeguards on deck. You can also rent shaded gazebos for parties and whatnot.

Absolutely the best place to go!! It wasn't crowded at all. The water levels where low but what can you expect when there hasn't been any rain. The beach was clean and there was life guards and park rangers on duty. Everyone was having a good time.Glad I found this place.

I liked the lake it's self and the park don't like that you can't have at least a Lil bit of music and you can't have alcohol. Those 2 things sucked. You couldn't even turn on the music just off of your phone and phone its self are not loud but we got asked to shut it off

Really fun summer swimming. This was as close as we could get to a beach this year. Besides no waves and the smell of an ocean the kids still had a blast. There is fishing, boating as well. Life guards are on duty as well as recreation and park police. Very well kept. Just live it there. Recommended for travelers and locals.

Absolutely beautiful! Very serene and tranquil.

Just OK, You can only enjoy the lake until 6PM! For summer?? And no alcohol is allowed.. For summer?! So, No fun and no time to have fun If you get a later than desired start to your day. An employee let me know there are more changes to come. So if you want to have fun and enjoy your summer, go somewhere else,..You did this to yourself aurora reservoir

A wonderful beach has everything for fun with children and family

Wonderful art museum!. Buildings are modern and beautiful. The staff are extremely friendly and helpful. They have a large collection of both modern and historic artwork and exhibits are very interesting. They also have a parking garage which is conveniently located and made it easy to access the museum. They have two restaurants on site. We went to the more causal cafe to get a snack and food/drinks were good. There is a lot to see so plan to spend at least several hours here.

Fantastic building design and fantastic artwork!I thought 2.5hrs was enough but nope. Current Desert Rider exhibition is a whole movement I knew nothing about and walked away amazed. Need to come back to see the two floors I missed including Keith Hearing’s final piece. Highly recommend.

Massive, *phenomenal* museum!!Like Disney for art lovers - I didn't even have time to explore the whole thing in an afternoon...Awesome mix of classics and contemporary.Beautiful building itself, and I *love* the forward-facing acknowledgement of the indigenous peoples who first were on the landAdmission was free on the day I happened by, and there was also a huge pow-wow taking place - serendipity!

7 levels of art awesomeness! Constant changing exhibits, fantastic historical pieces, and the coolest building design layout! Even if art isn't necessarily your thing, you need this experience in your life! A MUST GO!

What a great experience - we could have spent all day here!My 17 year old daughter and I visited here on a Saturday morning in July 2024. We got there just after opening at 10:00 am and we felt as though we had the whole place to ourselves.We were pleasantly surprised to see work by Monet, Manet, Van Gogh and Degas, among others. I paid a reasonable $22 entry while she (and anyone 18 and under) got in for free.We definitely need to return with more time to devote to exploring all of the exhibits as one could easily spend an entire day enjoying the museum.

Pretty good overall. I was impressed with the variety of artwork and pleasantly surprised. I think it's a disservice to the Indigenous Arts of North America exhibit and artists that recorded video and audio to accompany their pieces with the museum's poor placement of being next to the hallway where every visitor talks loudly in groups and passing by. I couldn't hear the video/audio recording because visitors voices echoed and elevated in volume.

I had so much fun at the museum the other day with my fam. Honestly, I’ve only had good experiences at the art museum and have really great memories of when we saw the Monet exhibit a few years back. I remember it being a great night out with my hubby and we LOVED the beautiful paintings. I think they have a ton of new artwork! I was blown away by all the amazing art!

Amazing art museum. One of the best I’ve been to. They have a great variety of art with a couple of statement pieces. They have original Van Gogh and Monet! I would highly recommend this to everyone and you can find something that interest you even if you aren’t an art lover.

First time visiting the Denver Art Museum, last weekend.It's 20 to get in if you're a non member and 16 if you are a student.The museum is in 2 adjoining buildings. There were many artist exhibits as we enjoyed the Asian along with the Latin American rooms. Definitely worth checking out if you are in the Denver area.

Fantastic experience, wonderful opportunity to view the city from the outdoor patios, lots to choose from in the gift shop. The curation of art themes was well thought out and kept my attention and curiosity going throughout the museum. Two and a half hours to see Classic Art. World class! My favorite was the Benjamin West painting of Queen Charlotte.

This museum was far more substantial than I expected of Denver! The special exhibit “Biophilia” was stunning - get it in before it leaves! The whole museum though was lovely, it’s huge, and you really could spend the whole day here (we sure did). The layout is period and location focused, which means each floor really did feel like a new experience. There are lots of kids corners and places for the busy bodies to let out some energy, which meant there weren’t many antsy kids running around. We spent about 3 hours going through everything, and could’ve lingered even longer.Pro tip: get the Denver City Pass if you are doing a downtown day. It’s good for 7 days once activated, and we did the art museum, aquarium, and museum of science. It gives you a 3 for 2 discount and was really easy to use.

I always enjoy coming here. The museum is huge and I feel like every time I come I see something new. If you come there is a parking garage next door that you have to pay to use. Overall I recommend coming here it is a fun time.

What a great museum! Awesome exhibitions. They were also having a printmaking event where you could watch and talk to artists making prints using different methods. Would definitely come back for a second look.

Absolutely breathtaking! The Denver Art Museum is an amazing collection of some of the most interesting and eclectic art pieces. The setup is open and spacious and inviting and I think they've been a wonderful job. I thoroughly enjoyed myself! I highly recommend it, and especially on the many free days that are offered each year

Spectacular collection and well curated! Each floor and room had a distinct purpose and feel. Excellent collections of American Western art and Native art pre-colonial to the present.

My visit to the Denver Art Museum was a cultural journey I won't forget! The diverse art collection is truly captivating.Tip: Check their website for special exhibitions and parking info. The Hamilton Building's architecture alone is worth the visit. An artistic treasure in the heart of Denver! 🎨🏛️We were late and I had to leave for my flight. The attendant lady at the counter was such a sweet that she refunded our fees as we are not going to spend much time here.

Large and well kept museum. Very knowledgeable staff that answered any questions we had. I was so honored to see the Doré painting in person. Every floor is fun and different. The scenic view up top is also lovely. A must see in Denver!

The Denver Art Museum is a great stop to make when visiting Denver. There is definitely a lot to see and you could easily spend hours looking at the art and history in both of their buildings. Excellent place for art lovers and children. Added bonus to their main art is the special exhibits that they have, like for this month’s exhibits, the Soul of Black Folks by Amoako Boafo and All Stars from the Phillips Collection. And as an added bonus, if it’s of interest to you, just a few blocks away from the museum is Denver’s Capitol Hill.

We visited the art museum on a Free Day Sunday and it was slightly crowded but what a great way to promote art to the next generation by simply offering free admission. There are 2 buildings so, give yourself enough time to browse through every floor. It is so worth it! They have a massive collection of the old and thrcurrent. My favorite would be the Asian artifacts and also the collection of Impressionism. I wish i had given us more time to get through every floor but we only got there 3 hours before closing. Would definitely go again just to see the rest of its collection. We parked across the street from the Museum and it was a short walk to get to the ticketing booth. The building itself is beautiful and unique. Thoroughly enjoyed my day there.

From the amazing architecture and the art itself. This museum is huge in the museum there is a total of 7 floors worth of art to look at. All being from different cultures and points in history. I've only come here because of field trips. The roof top view was definitely the best part. You'd get a good view of downtown Denver. Overall the museum is not over crowded and it's definitely free for people under 18 but that gift shop ain't though. 10/10 would recommend

Wonderful art museum for a reasonable price and helpful staff. The wide range of arts and exhibits will cater to any aficionado. The balcony on the top floor is awesome as well - great way to see the mountains and the capitol building! Could easily spend a few hours here as there are two buildings full of art.

Tolle Ausstellungen im architektonisch interessanten Gebäude. Empfehlenswerter Museumsladen! Einzige Enttäuschung: das Museumscafé, wo man seinen Kaffee aus dem Pappbecher und das Gebäck von der Serviette konsumieren muss....Hier könnte man mit überschaubarer Investition aufrüsten und den Saal in einen gemütlichen Ort mit angenehmer Atmosphäre verwandeln.(Translated by Google)Great exhibitions in the architecturally interesting building. Recommended museum shop! The only disappointment: the museum café, where you have to drink your coffee from a paper cup and the pastries from a napkin... Here you could upgrade with a manageable investment and transform the hall into a cozy place with a pleasant atmosphere.

We had a wonderful experience at the art museum. There are two buildings and seven floors in one building. Tons to look at, suited to different people's interests. We bought tickets in advance and entered quickly during the week. We parked in a paid lot across the street. The Biophilia exhibit was incredible!

So much to see and do for a very affordable ticket price! The Denver Art Museum is a large collection of a wide variety of artistic pieces from around the world. There's something for everyone spread out across multiple floors in two different buildings. You can spend several hours here and not see it all in one trip. The rotating and special exhibits are always unique as well and worth the extra few dollars to see.

Such a great experience and we got to go one one of their many free days (offered sporadically throughout the year)! Beautiful collection, everyone was super friendly and helpful. They even gave us a quarter to put our stuff in one of their bag lockers and trusted us to return the quarter when we left (which we did). Just overall a nice experience.

this museum was huge! we spent a few hours here but easily would’ve spent all day if we had the time. the range of art is exquisite and leaves you wanting to explore every floor. they offer good activities as well. there are lockers for your things as well, and front desk was nice enough to lend us a quarter for it :)

We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves at the Art Museum. We went on a free day so not everything was available but that didn't matter! There was plenty to enjoy. There's so many interactive stations throughout the museum to explore hands-on for all ages. There were short 10 minute lectures/discussions in various parts of the museum for guests to enjoy. We listened to several of these. It made for a great Homeschool day for us.

7 floors of art in a modern building whose architecture is designed to provide beautiful views of Denver. There was too much to see in one day, so I went back the next day, despite the added cost of paying for a second day because I thought the value was worth it.I loved that an entire floor was comprised of current artists indigenous to the US and Canada. These pieces reacted to the history of colonization and coped with finding self in modern day. The art ranged from sculptures to paintings, from realism to abstract. I've rarely seen art museums with this kind of collection.However, I was disappointed that in order to get to that floor, most visitors would pass through an exhibit on Native American art from hundreds of years ago. This exhibit made no mention of how the museum obtained the art, nor how the museum was currently working with Native Americans to either return the art to their community, or to ensure they were displaying it properly.Additionally, on another floor, a Qu'ran was displayed opened. While I've often seen Bibles displayed that way, this could be disrespectful, given that the majority of Americans know little about Islam. There was not enough context provided here about why it was open, how it was obtained, and whether the museum was working with anyone from the Muslim community about appropriate ways to display.The top floor has marvelous local art and also balconies with marvelous views of the city.The rotating exhibits were fascinating and well worth the extra cost.

So much to see. It took three trips to get through everything. They offer free days throughout the year. Our last visit, a free day, was full of cultural experiences. A lot of fun. Wheelchair accessible.

This is one of the most amazing art museums I've ever been to, I love the mix of items beyond just paintings. The free days are a great option and it wasn't too crowded during the Tuesday night free day. The biophilia exhibit is especially cool but I love the totem poles, furniture exhibits, modern art and more!

The Denver Art Museum has quite an impressive collection! The museum itself is two buildings joined by a skywalk bridge. The smaller building had two temporary exhibits, one which explored Biophilia in art, fashion, and architecture. The larger building had an eclectic collection of European, American, Indigenous American art throughout the ages. The Indigenous American exhibits were great, but I really wish they also had artifacts from the Caribbean. All in all, it was wonderful to spend an entire afternoon exploring the entire museum!

WAY bigger than it seems! We spent 4 hours here just going through every single room and floor! Loved it!!! Definitely recommend only using the middle elevator in the main building btw. Very very cool! Art exhibit in and of itself!

Wow! Great Experience!! One of my favourite art museums in the US. 6 floors of different of art, from many different artists and times. 101% recommended to check. Building is amazing! Make sure to check all the amazing views from all the different of windows. Will come back in a few years!

The Denver Art Museum is a cultural gem that truly captivates visitors. Spanning two buildings, its architectural presence is impressive, offering a dynamic space for art exploration. With three and seven floors respectively, the museum hosts a diverse collection that spans continents and cultures. From the rich artistic heritage of Asia to thought-provoking exhibits on Black art, the museum provides a comprehensive and enriching experience. Navigating through the various floors feels like embarking on a visual journey, each exhibit offering a unique perspective. Whether you're an art enthusiast or a casual visitor, the Denver Art Museum is unquestionably worth the visit, promising a tapestry of artistic expression that transcends boundaries.

Beautiful exhibits of different kinds of art eras...Asian, European, and many others.Some interactive activities for kids but not much, just a few small ones. Wish there had been more hands-on fun things for children. Apart from that we all enjoyed it.The windows overlooking the city and its monuments were also beautiful.

I usually don't enjoy art museums, but still spent 3-4 hours here. I think if you want to absorb everything, it can easily take a whole day.Public parking space next to the building was $16/day.Entry price was $22/person ($18 if you live in CO)Favorite part was the Biophilia (Nature Reimagined).We enjoyed this museum because the attendees were all very respectful and gave us space to appreciate the displays. Clean, quiet and affordable.

The Denver Art Museum was an amazing experience . Approaching the museum, we witnessed a massive elephant statue. It left me with chills. My wife and I were introduced to a live T Rex. When we entered the building, it was just awe-inspiring. I was enthralled with the Vasily Konovalenko gem exhibit. Such exquisite attention to detail. My favorite was the prehistoric exhibit. There was a vantage point where we could view the massive dinosaur skeletons above. There was so much to intake, i wish we had another day. The Denver Art Museum was truly an enjoyable experience.

It's hard to compare to the art museums of New York City or Washington DC, but the Denver Art Museum does well to boast a collection that begs one to return again and again to greet familiar friends and to search out and discover new ones. I am always so happy coming here, but then again, I'm kind of a big dork for art, so I'm sure that helps 😄

My parents and I spent the afternoon touring the Denver Art Museum and had a fantastic experience. From the architecture of the museum to the views of downtown and the Rocky Mountains, the space is inviting and inclusive. We were able to borrow a museum wheelchair for my mom to access the museum while my dad took advantage of the portable seating. The galleries featured extensively artwork of native and local artists while adding to a more traditional collection. I appreciated the care that went into curating the exhibits too. My mom especially enjoyed the textiles. You can definitely spend an afternoon, an entire day, or days exploring all that the museum has to offer. I know I will be back during my next adventure in Denver to take in even more!

The galleries are beautiful no matter what your preferences and art style. Parking was easy. Prices reasonable. Multiple buildings, floors and art styles. Loved it.

Highly recommended museum. Huge museum with two buildings. I spent four hours and could have spent the entire day. From traditional art to contemporary art, there’s something for everybody at this museum and the collections are impressive.

DAM is a great place to experience art exhibits. Staff and volunteers are always friendly and helpful. Facilities are clean and well maintained. Bonus that the Cultural Center Complex Garage has phase 2 EV charging on the 3rd level. Charging is included in the reasonable price of the parking fee.

We took advantage of the extended hours on Tuesday and visited in the evening - this was a great time to visit as it wasn't very busy. We thought there was a nice variety in the collections displayed - many styles of art were represented. We enjoyed everything we saw, but especially liked the Biophilia exhibit. I would definitely visit again!

I have visited this lovely house more than once. This time I took a docent tour, which lasted just about an hour. They also offer self-guided tours. The tour was educational and interesting. They have a really good gift shop in the carriage house. Parking is on the street and a little challenging but possible within a block or two.

Loved the tour! Bought tickets in advance for a tour of the house and life of Molly Brown. Guide was amazing and clearly passionate about the Brown family. Would highly recommend. There are some cute shops a couple streets over so you can easily spend an afternoon in the area and grab lunch.They also had some unique gift store items. Got a really cute pair of tea cup earrings.

It’s been years since I visited the Molly Brown House. My granddaughter recently went with her school and wanted to share the experience with me. 💝. Such a beautiful house with lovely antiques & stained glass windows among all the history! What a great time. I rediscovered the history of Molly Brown and was reminded of how instrumental she was in promoting women’s rights. She was a good person and humanitarian that traveled all over the world. Of course there’s also information regarding her voyage on the Titanic & information on survivors of the Titanic. As a lover of history, I had a great time! Whether or not you’ve already been there, you should go again…and take someone with you! Great gift shop in the carriage house as well!

Nice people and friendly people you see smiles everywhere nice antiques in the house nice to hear the history of the house like it cause is related to the titanic this museum is a lot of talk about it. You can explore the house on your own or with a group. Have nice experiences when I go. I have been going every year to see it since I move to Colorado in 1998. Will recommend to go see it.

The Molly Brown House Museum is a lovely place to go if you are in Denver. The house is bigger than it looks and everything is kept nice and orderly. The displays and interior overall contain a combination of original and restored segments that leave the house almost exactly as it was when it was first built.My sister and I took the 1 hour tour so we could hear more about Margaret Brown, the former owner of the house and survivor of the titanic. It was nice to hear about someone with such a long and wonderful history and walking through the house gave us a great feeling of what kind of people lived in it.I'm not one for too much history compared to my sister, but even I thoroughly enjoyed the time we spent inside. The house is beautiful and the little blurbs of information regarding everything in it is very useful.We thought we would spend about an hour here but ended up staying for four. It was an amazing experience and I hope to bring the rest of my family to come see it next time we visit.

We got free tickets to explore on our own through our library. I believe 7 county libraries participate. There are some really interesting artifacts to see. All the workers are knowledgeable and can answer questions. There are qr codes for self guided audio tours. Lots of text to read about different rooms. On the top floor there are laminated cards with questions about historical documents to test your critical thinking. Flip the card over for answers.The kitchen gadgets and one of the first washing machines were cool to see.Very limited handicap access. It's a residential street, so there's no handicapped parking either.They don't have a parking lot. Street parking is very limited. Across the street parking is reserved for different businesses with the risk of tiring, so plan to arrive early and walk. Inside there are also lots of stairs to access 4 floors. They are still doing timed entry tickets.

This is such a fun historical place to visit! The staff and guides are very knowledgeable and friendly. They do have self guided tours and guided tours that will explain everything to you. The museum has two fantastic guides that are available to answer all your questions plus booklets, and information guides that explain lots of interesting information. We went on three floors plus in the basement. There’s a wonderful documentary about Molly Brown.

I love the Titanic so this place was a MUST when I visited Denver. The house is really pretty, I was impressed by all the little details it had. I took so many pictures and a few videos but I couldn't get enough of the experience. I wish I had a house decorated like that haha. They have a little gift shop with a lot of cool stuff, I obviously got a bunch of cool things. Totally recommend if you're a fan.

I loved this place! There was so much to see and read, I really liked how they had a box of optional reading in all of the rooms, and that the reading was geared towards different levels of reading/interest. I could have spent 2 hours here, easily, but my buddy had ants in his pants so I took pics of everything I wanted to read and read it on our long drive home! I loved the gift shop, the tickets were easy to purchase, the directions and expectations were clear, and the staff were friendly and knowledgeable!

This museum was fun, informative and gave good insight into a distinct time in Denver's history and one of its upper class socialites. The tour took about an hour, even with us listening to the prerecorded information about each room. It is a quick little museum but worth the trip.

I love when places offer a college student discount!! Molly Browns house self guided tour was good although I think more interaction with the house itself might help. They had boxes with information and items you could touch and a listening tour where your phone would talk you through things but it didn’t suit how I like to see museums. Other then that everything was great and I like the very unique items in the gift shop.

We were excited to see this museum in our Google maps. It does not disappoint. The care and detail of the restoration was amazing. There is a great self guided tour and staff members who are willing to answer any questions. I highly recommend this as a tour stop in Denver.

A piece of history to experience by viewing the inside of a famous rich figure’s home. Most Items in home are not original but I think the museum does a great job in having antiques that replicate what the brown family would have owned. I believe the piano is original.

Our tour guide was outstanding. She was congenial, intelligent, fun loving, and a great knowledgeable guide. The tour is the way to go, for sure. And there is time to explore on your own when the tour is complete.The museum itself is a peek into a bygone era. It’s amazing. Everything is well preserved and well presented. You’re allowed to take pictures (without flash).This place is a treasure.Definitely a highlight.

Rather boring. The Lady did cool stuff but the house is basically a house with her old things. She was rich and used the money for fun and to help people.

Molly Brown is interesting because of the Titanic, but there is much more to her than that. The house has been mostly restored. The upper servants floor unfortunately is mostly a modern meeting space. It would be much more interesting if it were fully restored to show the full servants' quarters and spaces. All of the furnishings are period correct. Some actually belonged to the Browns. The staff is very knowledgeable and helpful. There are small information stations throughout the house. The very back room has an excellent, full display of the history and restoration of the house. Parking: This is in the old Capital Hill district, originally pre car. There are no garages for the houses. Street parking only, and it is still a residential area.

Really awesome to be able to walk through at your own pace. They had it all decorated up for Christmas! The guides are very informative. Only bad thing is parking. There is only street parking available, so plan on getting early hoping you get lucky or planning on walking a bit.

This place is stunning. It's like stepping back in time. Everything displayed in the home is fascinating. If you're in the area with about an hour to burn, 🔥 one up and step back in time. See the polar bear rug. it's the coolest thing that caught my eye.

Opted for a guided tour and spent roughly an hour inside. The museum is fairly interesting but it is also small. There was a notable amount of people walking around the place, so half of my pictures and a part of the tour have been interrupted by the onlookers that haven’t purchased the tickets walking around and talking loudly. I guess it’s a norm of any museum, but given the narrow passages and small rooms, it caused a bit of inconvenience.The tour ends rather abruptly after the short in front of the digital picture of Titanic on the third floor which looks like a hodgepodge of everything. I was surprised that there were no related items whatsoever since this is the main reason why the museum attracts many people.The tour doesn’t cover bedrooms which deserve attention and offer a lot of items to see. Many other items are not mentioned/covered whatsoever while the tour guide and other staff member were very knowledgeable about them. I wonder why so many interesting details have been omitted completely. It would have made the tour even more interesting.Parking is very scarce around the museum. We got lucky to find a spot nearby but it must be an ordeal when there are more visitors coming. In general, this place is worth visiting, but I wouldn’t have come there again.

It’s a beautiful house with a lot of history. I was a bit disappointed I didn’t get to see ghost cat but it’s a reason to return. The tour guide seemed very knowledgeable and welcoming. The gift shop has a lot of cute items including ghost cat shirts for sale.

A fabulous museum dedicated to an amazing woman.It feels like you have stepped back in time when you walk in. You can opt for a self guided tour or tour guide. We opted for self guided.There was lots of information of Molly Brown and her family. It was great to see and feel like it had been left just as she had left it.Very much worth a visit.The staff were friendly and helpful.

While on a mission to discover things about Denver, I came across the Molly Brown House Museum. You should opt to take the guided tour because there is so much intriguing information available, including a bit on the Titanic. She was such a humanitarian as well as philanthropist. Per the tour guide, the house contains only about 15% original items but... they found photos that enabled them to renovate the house and take it back to 1910. You have to go around to the back to the Carriage House to purchase your ticket. There is the cutest gift shop there and the young ladies staffing it were wonderful.

Well, I had taken a ghost tour with friends the night before and this house was one of the stops. The facts about Margaret and just what type of person she was inspired me to purchase a ticket for the 9am tour the next day. I was the only early bird so I had a private tour with Val. She was amazing and answered all my questions, never minding the constant interruption with…you guessed it…more questions. The home is just as interesting and wonderful as it’s namesake. Please do yourself a favor and step back in time for a moment and learn about one of the most fascinating humans I’ve ever heard of! Happy touring!

I loved the guided tour given by Hanna. The house is beautiful. I loved learning more about the home, Margaret Brown, her family, life, and legacy.

Had the best volunteer lady at the door ever! She knew so much about the Molly Brown House. It was absolute pleasure spending the time talking with her. I unfortunately don’t remember her name, she was blond and Roughly in her 50’s. So much information on a woman that survived the titanic, fought for woman rights to vote. Helped set up homes for others. Information about mining too. Fabulous pieces of art. Which some of them really need to tell you the story about where they came from. They are beautiful and even more powerful showcasing the beauty of different cultures and strength of love through the arts.

If you really want to know who Margaret Brown was then a trip to the museum is worth the stop when visiting Denver. I definitely learned the movie The Unsinkable Molly Brown was not a true depiction of who she was and all that she did to help and support people. A lot of great information can be read on your own or you can choose to have a guided tour. Whatever your choice you will be inspired by her life.

I loved this museum! The tour guide was very knowledgeable and had special insights into the history of the family, house, and area. If you are in Denver, I would definitely recommend this tour. I have added a picture of the tour guide (& me) and a few pictures of the house.

Props to the staff and volunteers, you can tell they have passion in the history of not only the museum, but Colorado overall. The information on how everything was renovated over the years was helpful to get an idea how each home owner utilized each room after JJ and Margaret Brown. My personal favorite room was the bathroom because it managed to have all essentials under compact spacing.

Denver Botanic Gardens is one of the most beautiful gardens I have been to! The gardens are stunning, unique and very well maintained throughout the year. The staff and volunteers are extremely kind and helpful. They also have delicious food and drinks that you can enjoy inside the garden. I also highly recommend the Halloween and Holiday light shows they have in the fall and winter. A lovely place to visit anytime of year!

Amazing place to spend the day. So many different areas with unique plants, flowers, and displays. While most are outdoors, there's several indoor areas if you want to get out the sun.Nice combination of using both floral and water gardens. The different gardens are Gardens of the West, International Gardens, Ornamental Gardens, Shady Gardens, and Water Gardens.You can easily spend a few hours just walking between the different gardens. Regardless of preference, age, physical ability, there's plenty to see here. The gardens are so large, there was never any crowded areas.

This is always a pleasant place to visit when in town. We recently enjoyed a picnic in the gardens while listening to a variety of musicians. Take a stroll through the creative and colorful garden arrangements or catch a concert there when you are able. Make sure to tour both inside and out spaces and grab a bite at a cafe should you have time. They also hav3 wonderful light shows in the winter and educational events as well. Have visited now for over 40 years and we are never disappointed.

This is a wonderful place to visit with the family, a first date or just to get out of the house. Has wonderful and exotic plant life. As well as different bug species and types. There are so many attractions inside and out for adults and kids. Also has a library where you can purchase books. Families and kids would love it here.

We were delighted and we can safely say that you will be too. There are a variety of different gardens which provide great ideas for novice and expert gardeners. It was also fun to find all 8 Spirit Animals plus the additional mini sprit which I will challenge you to find. So there are a total of 9 Spirit Animals. It began to rain and there was adequate place for everyone to find cover. So rain or shine you will be an amazing time

We came in early spring so there were not too many blooms. The tropical plants were amazing. The science pyramid was good for kids. The landscaping is beautiful. I especially enjoyed the moongates and their description. It was very picturesque even without everything in bloom

The Denver Botanic Gardens was a great place to visit - even in the winter when not much is growing. They accept reciprocal memberships from other gardens across the country as well. The conservatory was a great retreat for warmth and to experience beautifully blooming plants. The art galleries were a nice addition as well. Artfully running streams and other water features masked the sounds of the surrounding city. The gift shop is also top notch!

An absolute overload of beauty! These gardens bring such joy and wonder to visitors of all ages. With plenty of corners and unique spaces, it’s easy to find peace and tranquility even with lots of people. It’s all so extraordinary that I can’t have any one favorite part.

Peaceful morning amongst a wide variety of plants, flowers and creatures. Nice outing for all ages. We spent 2 hours here. Sat at various benches throughout the grounds to ensure we took time to enjoy. Visited all the buildings too. Highly recommend this reasonably priced garden and gift shop.

The gardens are gorgeous! There were quite a bit of people when we visited, but it didn’t feel crowded. There were a lot of shades and places that were cooler in the middle of July. The gift shop has a unique collection of merchandise to choose from. The staff in the ticket booth and the gift shops are super nice too. Would recommend to visit!

Art and plants blend into this special place. Various exhibition halls related to natural plants, whether indoors or outdoors, are amazing everywhere. The arched-back tropical plant pavilion makes people feel like they are in the tropical rainforest of Southeast Asia. The orchids in the orchid pavilion are so beautiful and unforgettable.

These gardens are absolutely beautiful and always so well taken care of. It’s neat coming here throughout the seasons and watching all the changes. Today’s visit brought fresh blooms, springtime green, and cloudy skies. A perfect combination 🌷🌿🌥️

The Denver botanical gardens is an excellent way to spend the day in Denver! They are a self paced gardens that kids can freely traverse and adults can admire the beautiful landscapes created! It is easy to navigate and we greatly enjoyed touring the various gardens! Highly suggest it if you’re looking for an off the beaten path attraction to spend a beautiful Colorado day!

I absolutely love Denver Botanic Gardens! The architecture in the park combined with the different plants and flowers is stunning. It is one of my favorite places to photograph in Denver. They have several different wedding spots, and are true pros at helping you set everything up for the day! If you love plants, color and landscape design this is a great place for your wedding!

Such a beautiful, peaceful place to stroll around! We came here around 10:30am and it was already bustling. There's plenty of free parking and if you bought a ticket online, you can skip the ticket booth. We enjoyed seeing the different flowers, the Japanese pavilion and the bonsai trees. Absolutely a gem of a place and you can really feel the love and care poured into these gardens. Highly recommend a visit!

The gardens are really beautiful, you can definitely spend a lot of time here but you can also see everything within an hour and a half if you’ve got other things to do in the city. They have a cafe on site that you can visit, I didn’t try it because the line was super long. There were a couple of areas closed off since they’re renovating, but there was still plenty to see.There’s also a learning building that is interactive and more geared towards kids, so I think it’s a great place to bring kiddos.The gift shop has a lot of cool items as well!

Wow what a beautiful place! Friendly and welcoming staff! The gardens are broken up into different areas. There’s so much to see the water lilies were definitely my favorite! absolutely beautiful. You Can probably go through all of the gardens with leisure walk in about 2 1/2 to 3 hours. We didn’t make it indoors.

The gardens are nicely laid out with a wide variety of ecosystems represented. My favorite was the water gardens. They are already in the process of setting up the Holiday lighting in the garden. Bistro dining was a good option, but prepare for long lines at lunch time.

Denver Botanic Gardens was on our “things to do” in Denver. Such a beautiful and peaceful space. I have special love for orchids! 😍It was a great experience to see an abundance of beautiful flowers and plants from all over the world. You can easily spend hours exploring the gardens.There was Ghosts in the Gardens - Open Air Scare for Halloween celebration. 🎃 Pretty cool.Loved the history in the Japanese Garden, seeing the Bonsai trees was magical.We went on a weekday so parking was not an issue.We enjoy visiting botanical gardens all over the world and this one didn’t disappoint!

Love visiting whenever I get the chance. I took a stroll recently with visiting family and had a wonderful time. The selection of flowers and plants is amazing and so diverse. There's always so much to look at. I usually take about 3 hours in the gardens but you could easily go through it in a little more than an hour.It was crowded when I last visited but you could only tell in the cafe and other indoor areas. Its never too bad though. The whole place is super clean and all the workers are nice and helpful. I would definitely recommend it to anyone in the area

I am new to Denver and just recently been able to visit the Denver Botanic Gardens. Once during the fall event and again during the Christmas lights. I love that they sell tickets for time slots so you are able to enjoy the gardens without the huge crowds but purchase early because they sale out quickly but all is totally worth it. I went during the day for fall and the fall colors were on fire. Night time for the Christmas lights was absolutely gorgeous! There is a free parking garage. Staff is amazingly friendly and promise a good time. I highly recommend a visit!

I Was invited by one of my friends and the experience is amazing. This place is filled with plants from all over the world.The Spheres is a beautiful place! The outside is so interesting to look at and the inside is filled with plants.I definitely recommend coming here and looking around, it’s a great way to spend an hour.

It was so wonderful to spend the day enjoying so many beautiful plants, art and sculptures the botanic had to offer. For me the bonsai tree garden was especially peaceful and awe inspiring. There were a lot of people but still areas where you almost feel alone. The rainforest exhibit was really neat and even had a few plants that had fruit on them(not to eat of course) 😁. Great family atmosphere with an area that is made specifically for kids

It’s magical! Living in Colorado, we don’t see much greenery with our climate. I feel like I’m in another universe walking through the garden. The indoor treehouse was my favorite part! I had this childlike wonder experience. It was the perfect setting for gorgeous photos and to really feel grounded to our world.

Truly an amazing garden that you can tell has had lots of love put into it. I especially appreciated the greenhouses and the wide variety of healthy, exotic, and tropical plants! Amazing library nearby, too!

Denver Botanic Gardens is one of my favorite locations to visit and photograph in Denver. Its expansive, diverse, and simply lovely grounds provide a plethora of beautiful corners to enjoy & photograph. I have photographed here for weddings and sessions and it remains one of my favorite areas because of how stunning and unique the gardens are, especially the Woodland Mosaic, which is an incredible small ceremony location. Not to mention, all the staff are really friendly, super helpful, and a joy to work with. I cannot wait to visit again soon!

Outstanding botanic garden. Awesome collection of bonsai. Free parking bit it can be difficult to get a spot. Reciprocal with AHS is for only 2 people so we had to pay for the others in our party but it was worth it. Plenty of shady areas and clean bathrooms. Great experience.

Very excited to see the spirit guide sculptures. The tulips are in full bloom and it was great. Love the smells that come from the blossoming flowers. As always, great staff that help you along the way. Love this place. Will definitely go again.

My visit to the Denver Botanic Gardens was incredibly inspiring. The gardens are beautifully maintained, and the variety of plants is impressive. I particularly enjoyed the water lilies and vibrant flowers, which create picturesque views. This place offers tranquility and a chance to enjoy nature. I highly recommend visiting these gardens any time of the year. It's the perfect spot for walks, photos, and simply relaxing.

Beautiful botanical garden with lots of variety in landscapes and types of flora. Visited in mid March so wasn't as impressive as I'm sure it must be later in the spring summer and fall. Great way to spend a few relaxing hours outside on a nice afternoon. Plenty of benches strewn about to sit an relax a bit also.

A must see! If you're going to do one thing while visiting Denver, you should do the Botanic Gardens. The gardens are incredible and the landscapes, architecture, artwork, and grounds are amazing. We spent two hours here on a hot crowded day and left feeling refreshed and inspired. Definitely the best botanic gardens I've visited.

We went on Mother’s Day so it was incredibly busy from the parking lot to the door, as expected. However, we received some attitude from the front desk for not being residents or members, even though we had prepaid for tickets online (and had it pulled up on our phones ready to be read an scanned).But the moment we were in the gardens it was an incredibly relaxing and lovely experience, and we spent well over an hour there as well.

Carpool and plan to park a few blocks away! All lots were full but there was no line for tickets at the entrance. It was definitely a packed Saturday inside but it was a wonderful day and perfect weather- wear sunscreen and bring extra! We had a great lunch at Offshoots while there. We will come on a weekday next time to avoid some of the crowds.

Spent 3 hours in this pleasant place. It is large with many places to relax & take in its beauty. Both places for sun and shade (including buildings). Appreciated the drink stations to refill our personal containers.Good selection of various garden styles, including the roof garden. Gleaned many ideas for my own Colorado garden. Recommend visits throughout the year so you can enjoy the different bloom seasons.Could do without the 'spirit guides'. They seemed gaudy, creepy, & out of place. Really liked the terrariums in the park & wished they could be purchased in the gift shop.

I'm a big fan of Denver Botanic Gardens. Love it so much, I became a member. The gardens are, of course, amazing. But I love the conservatory. Take your time and just spend the day walking the gardens and seeing everything they have to offer. You can rest of two different restaurants, both with delicious food. The gift shop is great and if you enjoy art, they are galleries that rotate different exhibits. You won't be disappointed.

We really enjoyed this place as a family. We signed up for advance tickets for a free day with free parking. There is a children's garden on the same side as the parking garage, and it has a little creek flowing through it. The children are welcomed to play in this replica stream for as long as they would like. There is a greenhouse and a conservatory in the main garden. A cafe in the main area serves snacks, drinks, and coffee.

DBG never gets old. I love the art almost as much as the gardens...haven't been disappointed by an installation yet. With countless favorite individual plants to focus on, I still find myself walking down a quiet path just for the ambience. Thank you for all the years / seasons of enjoyment.

Such a beautiful garden with much to see. It was well kept and clean. A very nice place to go take a walk about and learn about the different plants. There’s a nicely sized pond in which you can also see fish. Would recommend for a casual stroll, date, or family outing…..just an all around nice time.

I’m glad that I made this part of my Denver trip. The person who sold me my ticket recommended looking at the art galleries upstairs and that ended up being one of my favorite parts, but of course it had all of the things: Lily pads, bonsai, flowers, meandering paths. Fully recommend, great value for $15.75.

Beautiful area. Really loved the tropical plants. That was my favorite exhibition. Really well put together area of plants. Nice and spacious really like the pyramid in the middle it's also very interactive inside.

Nice walking paths and quiet benches to sit down. Tulips galore when I visited and the red bud trees were loaded with blossoms. The pond with all the frogs singing was surrounded by laughing kids, they loved the frogs. At the Offshoots Café I had the signature breakfast sandwich and a cappuccino, fast friendly service and freshly made.

Wow. Just wow.We first went to the one in Chattfield… boring boring… then went to this one! Just wow. What an amazing and well maintained place with beautiful plants, flowers, bonsais, wildlife…. Just perfect….. the tropical forest was the most astonishing ever!

My favourite place I visited in Denver!I live near the world-famous Butchart Gardens in Canada, and the Denver Botanic Garden truly gave it a run for its money.I visited on Memorial Day and the irises were in full bloom - just gorgeous. I was also amazed at just how many plants, paths, and gardens they squeezed into the site. It truly doesn’t look that big on a map but I spent 3 hours there trying to see everything.The indoor area was really neat and while it was small, it was dense with lots of interesting plants. I also loved the side with the French canopy and the Victorian garden.I loved that even though it was a busy day, it never felt particularly crowded. There were lots of paths to choose from and plenty of seating areas - including tons in the shade.I’d love to visit it during another season - it will definitely be on my list if I visit Denver again!

Very impressive (as the building was meant to be). Our docent was amazingly knowledgeable about the building history, materials, government procedures, and minutiae related to state government. She patiently educated along the way a couple of twenty-something tour participants on basic civics which those of us who were older had learned in school and through life experience.The Senate chamber was closed for renovation, and the former Supreme Court chamber was visible through windows but not available for entry. The House chamber was open for the group to enter, sit, photograph, and learn through our docent's discussion.We want up to the dome (99 steps!) for the amazing 360-degree view of the Capitol Hill area. Couldn't go out to the exterior gallery at that level due to the snow-caused slippery footing (safety concern). The "attic" museum within the roof level was fascinating and very informative about Colorado state history and the Capitol construction. Well worth the 30+ steps to get there from the third floor, and the time spent to take a close look at the exhibits.In short, a place that everyone should visit when in Denver! Highly recommended; a must-see.

Not to be missed place when visiting Denver. It’s open to public on workdays 8-5. you can wonder around or better to join a tour on top of an hour

A really beautiful building. We did a self-guided tour and explored the basement to the exhibit area in the top floor that included a miniature of the building. They have guided tours that start at 11:00 AM.There's a marker on the front steps designating exactly 1 mile above sea level.

When we went, there were hourly tours offered for free. Definitely worth doing a tour since there is a lot of neat history they share about the building, politics and the state. The view from the dome is breathtaking!

If you want to know something more about the history of the Centennial State and its institutions, this building is a good place. Its golden dome, symbol of the mining that led to the settlement of the area, makes this place one of the most iconic buildings in Colorado.You can enter on weekdays and see the Colorado House of Representatives and Senate chambers, as well as the Rotunda interior. The dome can be visited, but you have to go on a tour with the guide, which is free.On the west side stairs, you have the Mile High marker on one of the steps.

A great place to learn about the Colorado government and history! It is a beautiful building and the people we saw working were very patient and friendly with our little kids walking around!

We had a wonderful time on our guided free tour. There is no need to sign up ahead of time unless you have large groups. Just go to the tour desk on top of the hour, and you'll be given a space. You go through the entire building, touching on all the major information for the building and state history. Be prepared: it's absolutely breathtaking architecture and opulent detail. Pictures do no justice. It is under construction. There is paid parking on local streets. 2 hour maximum at $2/hr on the meters. The tour has many stairs but also an elevator for those who need it.

You need to go with the tour where you will learn few things about Colorado. The best part of tour is going up the base of dome and able to walk around veranda (balcony). View from that spot in amazing. I've been to other state Capitol tour and did not have access like this.

It is undoubtedly one of the iconic buildings in Denver that has a gold bell-shaped dome. One of the stairs leading to capitol is exactly at 5,280 feet (or 1 mile) above the sea level, which makes it even more exciting. Free tours are available for the visitors but we weren't able to get one as they were closed due to new year's eve.

Beautiful building with interesting history. Make sure you do the tour - it is free and well worth while and takes you up to the Dome for panoramic views of the city. They go every hour so easy to factor into your visit.

Stunning architecture created of gold, brass, pink onyx and oak. Our tour guide, Mike was friendly and extremely informative. No air conditioning so we appreciated the rest stops along the walk up to the dome. The views were spectacular! Highly recommend this free tour. A highlight of our time in Denver.

I like to wander off and see some of the historical and government buildings in each city I visit. This building and its surroundings are beautiful. I wish I had planned ahead and entered the building for a tour. However, it is worth to see the exterior, either way. It really stands out in the area. Easy to walk to from the bustling 16th street if you don't mind a good walk. There are sidewalks and pedestrian crosswalks. Many food and drink options nearby.

Great, informative free tour! Our tour guide was knowledgeable, interesting and funny. We saw many areas of the building including the beautiful dome at the top. The views from outside the dome are breathtaking. They also do dome-only tours if you're mostly just interested in that part. I also recommend visiting the mile-high marker on the steps outside. Be warned, though, there is no AC, so it can get quite warm in the summer!

I was there on a weekend and the building was closed. I have to tell this is one of the best Capitol buildings in the country. But it is very very unfortunate to see so many homeless people around the park just out side the Capitol building I really wish the issue will be taken care of.

The tour was such a great experience. Bob the tour guide was amazing. I learned some new information and learning some history about Colorado was pretty dope. Of course the dome was one of the best parts. The view is amazing.

Beautiful architectural marvel, filled with artwork and historical artifacts. I recommend the tour, especially since it’s the only way to go up to the dome and experience one of the best views of Denver and the surrounding area. The tour takes roughly 45 minutes, get ready to learn a lot about the best State in the country and also to walk up lots of stairs!

This tour was free occurring on the hour. The tour was not crowded and was interesting to see the senate and house of the state capitol. The optional dome experience at the end of the tour was worth the around 90 some stairs to see a museum and aerial view of Denver as you get to walk on the balcony of the dome. There is a video you can watch in addition to the tour which provides interesting details adding to the overview given on the tour. The Mint(also a free tour) is a 10 to 15 minute walk from the capitol, if you want to visit both sites in the same day, and the art museum is about a 5 to 10 minute walk from the capitol. The Civic Center Park and Lincoln Veterans Memorial Park are between the sites making for a pleasant walk between the sites.

Visited during summer 2022. Recommended. I like to visit State Capitol building around the states.

The state capital is open to visitors during work hours. however, there doesn't seem to be much going on in the building. It is a beautiful building though, so you should check it out if you happen to be in the area.

A wonderful - if tiring - experience. We had a great tour guide who walked us through the building pointing out interesting details, and was kind enough to give us time to catch our breath between flights of stairs.Most notably we toured the Congressional & Senate chambers, and were allowed out onto the wrap-around walkway below the dome.Be aware, there are a LOT of stairs. While there are elevators, you’ll need to climb some stairs to get to the dome.All in all, a great FREE site to tour while in Denver.

My husband and I had a blast exploring the capitol building in downtown Denver. Both the House and Senate were in session, so the place was brimming with staff members. It was really cool to be there and learn about the state's history. There was also a museum at the very top which made for a nice surprise. 📜

Delightful landmark destination. We never made it inside and still loved our visit. Had to see the mile high step on the front of the steps overlooking Civic Center Park. Amazing views from the top of the stairs. Easy to see the Rockies from the top, framing the City Courthouse (?). Would love to see this again in summer bloom!

Loved this tour! This building is amazing. From the rose onyx walls, to the hand carved doors, and the chandeliers this is a must see. The tour is free and takes 60 minutes. You get to go to the dome and walk 360°s around the outside. The views are incredible. Be warned, there are 100 stairs to climb to complete the tour. Our guide was very friendly, knowledgeable, and entertaining. I highly recommend this tour.

We didn't have time to do the guided tour so we did the self-guided tour. I normally don't look at buildings like this but someone in our party wanted to go see this building. It was very interesting. The architect sure was interesting to see the self-guided tour gave us some historical background. Neither of the congress was in session but there was a airspace thing going on so it was very crowded in there. But you could still get to see all the different rooms the stairs you might want to try and find the parking lot that you're going to use before you get there cuz that was a little confusing

Very impressive and beautiful building, with public access to the major chambers (not sure if that is the correct word). Take the stairs all the way up the attic for the historic perspectives.

Great variety of restaurants and shopping. Be sure to ride the free buses up and down to get around. Union Station at the north end is great too! This Christmas season, there was an AMAZING lighted tree that was FREE and really fun (see videos attached). The only down side is there are quite a few panhandlers and others that may not make it very family friendly after about 6PM. Still, even they were pretty peaceful and didn't cause trouble.

The whole place is under construction. Still able to access the restaurants and stores off the street but the sheer amount of fencing and dirt kinda takes the funbuzz out of the feel of what was a festival lively hopping place. It’ll be great when it’s done, for sure, but what’s that timeline? Months? Year? More? Bummer.

We visited this place because we read that it was built by architect Pei, but to be honest it is not super impressive, and doesn’t look that interesting. Just a regular mall. In the front of the building, on the little square, there are tons of shady homeless, who make the visit very displeasing. Not that it’s the mall’s problem though…

16th Street Mall is very much like Nicollet Mall, downtown Minneapolis. Food, pedestrians, drinks, shopping and more.I am not a fan that you cannot sit down anywhere, unless you pay. You have to go to a restaurant. Almost all outdoor Mall seating is gone to try and curb the homelessness and drug problems. The seating that is there is like a trap. I wasn't even sitting down when I had a security guard approach me telling me I needed to leave. Ok, sure. Why? And, I did.I didn't mention that all I was doing was putting my gloves in my bag.I'll keep going back when I am craving Caribou Coffee, Sam's or amazing Pho.

They have the pavers started on block 2 , so it's progress. There's lots of construction on the blocks for the 16th st mall project, but you can still access all the shops, and parking was never easy anyways but theres a couple parking garages that are reasonable one on stout and one on champa. The free ride drives along 15th and 17th instead of 16th while under construction. 15th to go west or north and 17th to go south or east. There's bus stops along the roads. Sam's is great to eat at but my favorite is the Blessed BBQ on welton it's fantastic, he's got the best brisket Ive ever ate. Ikes sandwich shop is awesome too on Curtis. Just be careful of traffic and construction going on. It's gonna get better down there, one block at a time. But support the shops that decided to tough it out thru the construction. They are troopers.

Unfortunately this area is under reconstruction... It's not worth getting there... Empty stores, closed restaurants and homeless people everywhere... What was a super attractive/fun walk became a temporary disaster…

Always a fun time on the strip. Excellent selection of restaurants, bars, etc. The views are very good. The 16th st mall really gives you a different feel and angle to see most of the city.

Other than the fact that the whole 16th Street Mall has been under construction or renovation for the last couple years it is generally a nice part of Denver with numerous shops, restaurants, and things to do. Once it is done with it's revival I'm sure it will go back to having the same chill laid back feel it had before or at least I hope so

Area is under reconstruction and many homeless are moving in this area. There are some malls without shops.

Went down, going to see the parade of lights, however the crowds were so bad we couldn't get anywhere near the parade route. Did have a good time though got some nice pictures and went into the Brown Palace where I used to work, and took some pictures of the beautiful chandelier.

OK, bear in mind that renovations are still underway, but if you're able to tolerate the construction fencing, you will still find many places to visit. It has promise.

Definitely not the place to visit. Maybe the locals might know something but I don’t understand what is the appeal. Street looks totally empty, mostly homeless people, construction everywhere, a few bars, restaurants, retail stores and that’s it. I don’t understand why when I put in the top places to visit on google search, every website recommends this place as the top location to visit. Absolutely not the image I would like tourists to remember of Denver.

Had a great time walking and seeing all the cool buildings and trying different food spots. Very friendly and chill people!

The 16th Street Mall is a rather interesting study in modern retail mall space. Management obviously invests heavily in keeping the property clean & curb appeal high.However, at the same time, there is signage --but very clean & well maintained signage-- for stores which are no longer present in the mall.All of the restaurants we visited were very clean & appeared well managed.There are several smaller, non-chain stores which offer interesting merchandise -- definitely worth a look inside.Also, mall security is very visible & doing a great job of addressing potential problems before they can fester into nasty situations.All in all, a nice area to relax & spend some time.

I used to really enjoy this street Mall but it's so torn up, smelly and noisy it's not convenient to go shopping there. Too many undesirable people in the narrow areas of the torn up street.I hope the shops survive the construction to make it a better place.

The 16th Street Mall area in downtown Denver is still not back to where it's was at 3 years after Covid. This area was really great and still can be, but there are a bunch of empty storefronts and lots of homeless wandering around the neighborhood. Something needs to change......

It’s a trash hole and a pedestrian nightmare. Has been since construction started 5 years ago. I feel terrible for all the businesses trapped in chainlink fences and the smell of urine. Go somewhere else for fun.

2023-Dec. Lots of construction going on. Lots of stores have closed. There are lots of less unfortunate people living in the streets walking around, but they don't bother you. The free mall ride detoured through adjacent streets due to the construction. See photos for detour map.

Unfortunately, in the middle of a major renovation and construction through 2025. Until then, it's a bit tough to get around and do things.

Overall pretty okay area worth visiting. Lots of restaurant and bar options. Also several stores to shop with an outside mall like area. Convenient busses that are free run up and down the street making it very easy to get around. Lots of street performers in the evenings and night are entertaining and fun.However, there is a large homeless population in Denver and many of them are on this street due to all of the tourist. Also there is a lot of trash all over the sidewalks and roads in general. Overall, worth a visit to experience the great food options and performances.

There's easy access to both food and shopping, along with some street performers! Really awesome during holidays and seasonal events, and there's a bus ride to get around quickly, or if you're just tired. Overall atmosphere is pretty calming!

I want to love Union Station, but unfortunately, it feels like it's overrun by homeless people. I absolutely want people to have a warm place to be, but there has to be a better solution. Denver really needs to address its drug and homeless problem. Please do better, Denver. Please take better care of your citizens.

OMGOMGOMGosh! So beautiful!! And old, antique, and unique!!! The tabletop shuffleboard!! The wonderfully clean, antique couches, buffet tables, lights and lamps!! (Definitely a difference!! The security was so nice, and SOOO helpful to everyone. I sat there and watched them for 2 hours.

Denver Union Station is such a beautiful and historic landmark. I love the interior design and furniture. We appreciated the information booth lady who helped us decide what to do in the downtown area. We also enjoyed the unique offerings of the coffee shop inside the station. There was a unique waffle vendor inside as well with delicious waffle options - we tried the churro one which was awesome.

Very cool place. It's actually a train station that offers so much more. Some small boutique shops, a couple of bars, and a couple restaurants. A big common area in the middle with plush seating and shuffleboard. And there is a hotel attached to it. Definitely worth a stop as it's in the heart of downtown and walking distance from Coors field and tons of shops and bar/restaurants.

Our Hotel room was amazing, and we got free perks within Union station like coffee and ice cream vouchers. Immediatly surrounding and some even connected to the station are fantastic dining options. Pretty clean compared to Seattle right now, I'll tell ya that. Loved it, I'll be back!

I love Union Station. If you go to other major metro/transit stations outside of the NE USA, they are dilapidated, grungy, and dangerous. I moved from Houston and their central metro hub was a joke. Denver's however is very well put together. The bus station is very nice, the transit platform is great, and the dining areas around are super cool. Most of the time I feel safe. Yes, there are some homeless down in the bus area and around Union station but they don't harm anyone 99% of the time. In addition, there's usually plenty of security so that helps. Plus I enjoy that it's a center spot for most of the city.

Love this place and the history. BUT the interior is completely under construction at the moment. Can't wait to see how it turns out.

Colors field is a very nice baseball park. Easy access in downtown with lots of parking options available. They are card only inside and have lots of vendors to choose from for food. Someone is always available to help out if you need to find something. Decently accessible but lacking more elevators for those who need them. Have always had a good time here!

First time at Coors field and was not disappointed! Seats are comfortable and plenty of leg room for a 6 foot person. Food was great..team store was clean and organized. ♿️ parking was great with plenty of spots and greatly appreciated located in lot A/B for those that need it. Be aware if you have not been there that levels 200's and 100's are on the same level for some. Signs are posted everywhere though which was great. Leaving the stadium they really control traffic well so your not sitting forever! As a disabled veteran and was there with 2 other veterans, appreciated the "hats off" in between the inning! Thank you for that honor to stand with my fellow veterans! Overall, great first experience and will definitely be back for more games.

I bought last minute tickets for my son and myself to see the Yanks play the Rockies. Ended up sitting in the second row. We had a great time. This isn't the fault of the Rockies of course, as it's mandated league wide, but the addition of the netting is quite distracting. I understand it's due to an increase in fan injuries. Most likely due to fans spending too much time on their phones and not enough time watching the game. Just something I noticed.Other than that we had a great time. Top: go online ahead of time and purchase a parking pass. I bought one for $21 at a parking garage less than . 5 miles away. One less thing to worry about.

Beautiful baseball stadium in downtown Denver. This stadium is a few blocks away from Union Station and easy to walk to. So many restaurants and bars nearby for a drink or two before or after the game. This stadium has some awesome views of the mountains off in the distance. A great selection of food to choose from, we tried several things from tacos, brats and the fried dough; everything was delicious!

I have to give it 5 stars. For its impressive size and cool architecture. And. Most importantly. As a big guy. I was fairly comfortable in the seats with sufficient legroom. The food selection was decent. But I’ve seen stadiums with better options. Lines weren’t terrible though.We paid for parking in Lot A. It was well organized to get you to your parking spot. Walk in to stadiums was 10 minutes from the back of Lot A.

An okay stadium. There's only one large screen for the stadium, so if you're sitting up top, forget about knowing what's going on, or seeing a replay, up close. Getting in wasn't too bad of a wait. The security folks were nice, as everyone was entering/exiting. The stadium was constructed in such a way that the majority of the stadium is in the sun while only the area near third base is in the shade -- PRO TIP: get tickets on the third base side if you want to be in the shade!!!

I really enjoyed my first game at Coors field. It was awesome! The seats in section 120 were great. We got lucky and the Rockies won the game and we also came during fan appreciation day and saw an amazing display of fireworks.I wish they didn’t stop serving on the 7th inning. It’s up to people to make their adult decisions and choose to drink or not.

Despite being a baseball fan for almost 2 decades (2004) and Yankees being my favorite team since then, I never actually went to a baseball game in my life until last week. Despite the Dodgers and Angels being close to me, I never had the courage to actually attend a baseball game. So I decided to go to Coors Field while visiting Denver(for the first time as well) and I'm glad I did. It was a blast. It was a bit of a headache trying to find my seat, but I eventually found it. Friendly staff. Friendly people sitting next to me. Great game too! Rockies almost rallying on the bottom of the 9th was a great way to end the game. Much better to watch the game in person than TV that's for sure.Unforgettable experience. I would attend again.

Very nice Stadium in Downtown Denver. Only wish we had a more competitive baseball team like the one that took us to the World Series years ago. The owner doesn't really seem to want to make the investment 😕

First time here, and what an AWESOME place. Great Happy Hour at the Jack Daniels lounge on the roof, and by far, the FRIENDLIEST staff in any space, ever! Shout out to Freddy and Rooftop Randy - they were two of the best people I've ever met, and really makes the day at the park a blast. 😃

Really a beautiful stadium that matches the architecture of downtown Denver. Very easy to navigate to your seats. Good views of the action from anywhere in the park. The afternoon sun can be intense if seated in the east stands. Lots of good food options that are not wildly over priced.Go Rockies!

😃 Great Experience and first time at Coors Field. We shared that with security team and they educated us on visiting the visitors information booth to get our kids certificates to commemorate their first time attending a Rockies game! Very nice added touch for the boys.🏟️ We were in section 138, along the 3rd base line (visitors dugout), great seats IN THE SHADE, and in this stadium you are closer to the field which was nice.⚠️ Food Allergies: As I share in many reviews my boys have sever food allergies and spouse gluten free. They have a gluten friendly stand alone kiosk behind section 139-140, which had many gluten free food and beverage options. I also found the G-Que BBQ kiosk (section 331). The brisket as of now has no allergens without bun. So this could be a great option for those looking for a great meal. Also the Macho Nachos were gluten free. I’m sure there is more info if you search but this what we ordered.🥃 Found a Jack Daniels bar but otherwise that was the extent of whiskey, so I appropriately ordered a Coors Light.👀 Check out my IG for more 🥃 news, insight, pairings and other fun related content.✅ if this was helpful, please 👍🏼, and Follow for more.

We came to the game on 7/1 to watch the Rockies play the St. Louis Cardinals. This was Nolan Arenado’s first game back in Colorado so it was nice to see him receive a well deserved ovation. This was only my second time here but I really love this ballpark. It is extremely well done and comes off as classic without being gimmicky.The game day staff were extremely nice and helped assist us with questions. A fan behind us brought a towel to dry off his seat from an earlier rain shower and he let us use it as well. Even though we were dressed out for the Cardinals we had fun interactions with Rockies fans and everyone seemed happy to be at the ballpark.We sat in the lower part of the upper deck behind home plate and I thought they were great seats. The seats along the first base line receive quite a bit of evening sun but they also have views of the mountains. Some concession stands offer a kids meal for $5 which is great for families. You can also bring in unopened non-alcoholic drinks which I would highly recommend. We caught a street vendor outside but there is also a 7-Eleven store on Blake street towards downtown nearby.We walked up and down the 16th street pedestrian mall before and after the game to our downtown hotel. There are homeless people but we never felt unsafe despite the late hour. Coors Field is a great baseball stadium and a must see for anyone visiting Denver.

The Rockies played against the Braves during our stay in Denver. We've never been to a baseball game and we tough it would be a fun night. And it was! It's a really nice stadium with beautiful views over the Rocky Mountains. There was a good vibe and a nice bar close to our seats. We had a very good time eventough they didn't win the game.

Coors Field is a true gem among ballparks. Ranked at #13 on my professional stadium tour, it comfortably earns a spot in my top 5. Despite being only 28 years old, it exudes the charm of an old-time ballpark. Everywhere you turn, you'll find nods to Rockies history, and the views are equally breathtaking. Coors Field excels in areas where other stadiums often fall short; the food is both delicious and reasonably priced, ensuring that enjoying dinner at the game won't break the bank. Plus, the free parking lot shuttle is a fantastic perk. Although parking comes at a cost, having a shuttle option is perfect for those who prefer not to walk or have children in tow. All in all, Coors Field is a treasure in Denver that deserves a visit from both diehard baseball fans and casual enthusiasts alike.

One of the most beautiful stadiums in all of major league baseball. Very conveniently located in downtown Denver and easy to get to whether you’re downtown or coming off of the interstate. Lots of great food, craft, beer, and incredible Colorado weather to watch a baseball game. The backdrop over the scoreboard and to the west is an incredible view of the Colorado mountains. This is especially awesome for a summer early evening game to watch the sunset. Very family oriented stadium and an overall great time.

Parked in lot B, not that bad of a walk. Dead center view bleacher style seats in this area. Not bad got a little sore after sitting for a while. The food and drinks is why it didn't get more stars. Hot dog bond fell apart and it was opening day. Draft beers were all foamy. Carnitas nachos were probably the best thing we had but we're salty. Pretzel bites hard. They should have their own draft beer made for the Baseball Club. Should have more selections of other kind of beers. We were entertained with the game

We came to a ballgame on 5/10. The ballpark is pretty cool and you can get $3 dollar beer in the right field upper deck bar which was a steal and a great place to pregame. You also get a good view. We purchased tickets in the Club section and were extremely disappointed. The club section is still stuck in the 90s and not the worth it and there were a lot less food choices. Do nit buy these tickets if you are visiting from out of town. You've been warned.

Absolutely loved this field! By far, one of the most beautiful in the MLB! Not a bad view in the house, but do walk around it to take it all in. Food was good too, not crazy overpriced. Great time!

Colors Field is a standout destination for sports enthusiasts, boasting an architectural design that is nothing short of spectacular. The stadium's sleek, modern lines and impressive structural details make it a visual delight. Whether you're admiring the exterior or exploring the interior spaces, the design ingenuity is evident at every turn.The culinary offerings at Colors Field are equally impressive. With a diverse range of food options, from gourmet snacks to hearty meals, there's something to satisfy every palate. The quality and variety of the food make it a highlight of any visit.Adding to the experience is the incredibly friendly and enthusiastic crowd. The fans at Colors Field create a vibrant, welcoming atmosphere that enhances the overall enjoyment of the game.However, the organization running the product on the field leaves much to be desired. Despite the beautiful setting and superb amenities, the management's inefficiency often detracts from what could be an otherwise perfect experience.Overall, Colors Field delivers an excellent time for visitors, thanks to its remarkable architecture, delicious food, and wonderful crowd. With better organization, it could truly be a top-tier venue.

One of the best field tours me and my wife have done.We decided to go to the tour during our trip to DEN.Grab tickets the day of on a Wednesday, off season.Highly recommended to due during the week, we had a group tour but we’re the only ones on it.Ended up being a private tour with Phil, the lead tour from Coors field for the last 17yrs.Learned a lot about the stadium, the team, the infrastructure and the staff.Tour takes you throughout the stadium, including the visitors dugout, legacy suites, restaurants, outfield rooftop section and home plate on field photo.Great value for the cost, set us back only ~$30 per ticket.Highly recommended.

Took a tour of the field. Highly recommend. Super interesting (and I'm not a big baseball fan). Our guide was really well informed. He had plenty of history and fun-facts about the stadium as well as other stadiums. We got to see areas that aren't ordinarily available like the players locker room. Got to walk on the field.

I've been to a lot of baseball stadiums, with my faves being Wrigley, of course, because I'm a Cubs fan, and Great American Ballpark because I'm a fan of the city of Cincinnati. This was my first visit to Coors Field. It appears to be a smaller venue than GAB, but there's a lot to recommend. Ticket prices were relatively reasonable, and concessions were good quality and again reasonably priced. Still, for two people, it was a $300 outing with just basic fare. They lose a star for parking. Public parking is a fifteen minute walk from the park, and not cheap. They run shuttles, but it's still pretty inconvenient. In the current climate, people say that you go to Coors Field to see the opponent. We're going to see the Reds and the Cubs later this year. After this first visit, we'll know the layout better, and might even root for the Rockies eventually.

This was an awesome stadium to visit! Had a great time and a great view from seats. Rockies won! Lots of good choices for food. Great fireworks display after the game!

I went on the 4th of July and got to sit on the field during the fire work show and that was a cool experience but when they were letting us all off the field they made us walk in a huge group of drunk and high people which was very uncomfortable. But besides that it was pretty cool the Rockies won against the Brewers who are one of the top teams in our division and we were one of the lowest so that was really fun and cool as well. Overall thought it was a nice experience and I would definitely do it again just maybe without all of the people that made it a bit uncomfortable.

Nice atmosphere but team hasn’t been great over the last few years. Good food and drink options. The surround area around Coors Field is nice, filled with lots of food and drink options.

I don't care where it is in the US. I'm going to the ballpark. This park isn't extravagant, but it is a nice park situated in downtown Denver. We went and watched the Rockies win, and for me, any day with baseball is a great day. Tickets weren't crazy. They actually have some of the cheaper side of concessions I've seen at parks. So it's worth the time to go enjoy a base ball game. It is America's pastime after all.

First time visiting Colorado. I came to Coors field to watch my Dodgers play. It is a beautiful stadium. It was very easy to Uber into and out of the stadium all 3 days we were there. Decent variety of food and drinks and prices were slightly cheaper than at dodger stadium. Let's go Dodgers!

First time visit to Coors Field! Frito Lay was kind enough to treat employees to a Rockies game. It's so cool that it's downtown, and the architecture has an old fashioned ballpark look and feel. Reminds me of the old Texas Rangers ballpark.Speaking of the Rangers, they got smart and built an indoor stadium, due to the heat. We didn't last long on a brutal Sunday afternoon in the sun. Denver is getting hotter and hotter, and ticket sales will suffer. With that being said, this park is awesome! Great selection of food and beer! Not sure about other stuff, because beer. They even have a Smashburger up top!I highly recommend watching a game here, just not on a summer afternoon unless you know you're in the shade.

Stopped by for a night game while visiting Denver. The fans were very welcoming and the atmosphere was laid back. Tickets were very affordable especially for being right down first base line! Outdoorsy outfield was a nice touch too.

Going to see the Rockies game, once a year. My daughter loves playgrounds there, sometimes we are not even making to our seats. Coors Field got bigger variety of food and drink choices compared to other stadiums. I liked Burned Ends at the Smokehouse, also they got really tasty baked beans!

Easy parking, impressive stadium. Prices are a tad high but that’s to be expected. Definitely wear and bring sunscreen!!!! The heat is brutal! The variety of food is awesome 👍🏼 we had a really good time!

Beautiful field and stadium and first Rockies game. They won!! We had great seats and got to see an awesome sunset. Nice cold beer and yummy snacks. Every employee we encountered was extremely nice and outgoing. We will be back.

I've been to 60% of the MLB ballparks and this is one of the nicest. Tons of cool nooks and sightlines to explore. Bike lanes to and from the ballpark. Lots of good bars and rooftop patios to visit within walking distance.

Very nice field! Beautiful area and the weather was nice. However it was an afternoon game in June and got pretty warm because we were right in the sun with no shade. Still good time just 4 stars because lack of shade in seating area.

This is a beautiful ballpark located in downtown Denver. It has some spectacular views. If you connote third deck row 20 all the seats up there are purple marking the mile high seats. They have wonderful views of the mountains. Also there is a great selection of food here. So much food options there was too many for me to try and not enough time to try them all. I have to say if you haven’t already try the Colorado rocky mountain oysters. They are not bad at all. You have to try them at least once.

Really great baseball stadium, going on almost 30 years old, still one of the best I’ve been to. Love the downtown location, and was able to walk from nearby hotel. I got great seats this time, for a reasonable amount, so was great to watch the game from this spot. Food selections look plentiful and easy to access.

I love baseball and enjoying a game in Colorado is best case when you visit Coors field. I was able to find parking even with the broncos game partaking nearby. I had very reasonable seats and food once inside the stadium. Rockies fans were absolutely amazing even with my Padres gear on visiting as a spectator. The stadium was super clean and very walkable. I’d highly recommend checking out this stadium for a ballgame if you love baseball.

This baseball field was so nice but what I loved the most is how open it is. There is even a playground for children and recommend if u go to a game to go up to the rooftop level.

What a great day for baseball, the Rockies versus Phillies and the Rockies won. Food was good. The game was great time with the family. Awesome. Can’t wait to go back again. We arrived early so that we can get a good parking spot and we did.

What a blast! Love it when there's a win at Coors Field! Great family fun and the environment that is created I'd something straight out of a traditional old school style baseball game that your grandparents used to tell you about!

Baseball stadium prices so....that sucks but a very beautiful stadium. Too bad ownership doesn't spend money on players and try for a World Series. Not sure how fans continue with this trash organization but....at least the stadium is incredible.Rockies are one reason Utah should NOT have an MLB team. They won't spend money and we don't need another glorified farm team like the Rockies; 'sup Angels, A's,

It's been a few years since we have been to this zoo. Not much has changed. But, there are a lot of closed exhibits because they are making some cool looking updates. I can't wait to see the kangaroo exhibit. After 5 it is $5. It's a fair price since it seems most of the animals are hiding away.

Very nice zoo. Great size. Not too large to walk in a few hours. Love the tiger walk overhead. The tropical house is one of the nicest I have seen. Elephant information was short but good. We were impressed with how they treat the elephants. Lots of little information booths that were in service. We have a new membership, so we will be back.

They really like to trap you in the elephant and monkey exhibits so you can't find your way out but overall it's a fine zoo. The short and sweet elephant show was great with lots of conservation info and Jake (the elephant) did such a good job! You can tell the employees really care, for example an orangutan mommy had just given birth and they had a zookeeper there explaining everything and keeping order so all guests could see the baby. I also really liked their animal hospital and that you can observe procedures, very unique and awesome experience if something is going on. The only thing I'd wish was for more big cats :)

This is such a great zoo, we went during a colder day in late November. The inside buildings alone took us a while not to mention many great larger animals as well. As we were leaving they started turning on the lights for a separate event. We had a great time and got some good pictures and videos.

The Denver Zoo is a must see attraction. I've been here many times and it never gets old. The kids love it. The zoo is always updating or changing the exhibits. It's a nice place to get your steps in and it's surrounded by great restaurants. The zoo lights are always amazing to see.

Went during the week during February. Wasn’t too cold but a lot of the animals were inside, but did get to see almost all of them. Some construction going on which is probably best to do during winter months. Great experience. Clean zoo.

We had a wonderful time at the Denver zoo. They have a great variety of animals and exhibits. They had enough benches spread out for my family to take breaks which was nice. My favorites are the seal lions, otters, hippo, elephants & reptile house.I love the new signs in Spanish and English and the signs have ways to help the animals with real world actions like avoiding products with palm oil and being an environmental activist.

The zoo was really nice! I went on a day when the weather wasn't that great (which is my fault) so a lot of the animals were kind of hiding and what not. They have a good selection of animals which for the most part look super content. They have some parts under construction and the birds were all taken if for their own safety, so O feel like I didn't get the full experience, but I would love to go back and a day where everything is normal and it's nice out.

our first time experiencing the Denver Zoo light show. the glasses at check in are fun! optional spiked drink options also fun! there are zoo employees on the path & they're quite helpful & friendly. there are buildings you can go in to warm up. so many interesting zoo creatures that you can see while the others are resting. we will go again! do yourself a favor & go w fun young friends we did :)

The Denver Zoo is a fantastic place to visit! With its wide variety of animals and beautiful exhibits, it offers a memorable experience for visitors of all ages. The zoo's commitment to conservation and education is evident in their efforts to provide a comfortable and natural habitat for the animals, as well as informative signage and interactive displays. The staff is knowledgeable and friendly, and there are plenty of opportunities for up-close encounters with the animals. Overall, the Denver Zoo is a must-visit attraction for animal lovers and families alike.

This is a really fun, large, and clean zoo. They have a wide variety of animals and exhibits. Being quite large, it does require a lot of walking, so wear comfortable shoes and be prepared to take breaks if you come with very young children. It was also quite hot the day we went, and while there is some shade around the zoo, you may want to prepare by bringing water and sun protection. The elephant exhibit was especially impressive. We really enjoyed this zoo and would definitely recommend it for families and anyone who enjoys seeing animals!

We hadn’t been to the Denver zoo in a few years and I was so impressed with the transformation that has taken place. They have redeveloped multiple areas of the park to better accommodate animals and allow for close up viewing. Several areas are under reconstruction and I’m excited to see what is coming next! We had special sightings of a baby mandrill, wallabies being trained, an elephant presentation, and a baby sloth from right underneath. All staff were friendly and informative and seem to really care.

My family travels to aquariums and zoos every chance we get. This is by far one of the BEST zoos we have visited. It is clear that the employees have a deep concern for the animals, the environment, and for conservation. They were happy to speak to all of the visitors and answers questions and offer information about the exhibits.There was much care given to ensure the safety of the animals, which included taking them off of display if it was in the animal’s best interest. This was actively communicated to the visitors through Keepers Notes.If an animal was not in it’s normal location, this was also communicated. Absolutely LOVED this zoo and highly recommend visiting it.

100% recommend! This is a great zoo, lots to see and do, plenty of refreshment options including adult beverages. Animals appear to be well taken care of. We were really impressed and look forward to going back. Parking was easy too.

Beautiful zoo! My toddler & I had a long layover in Denver on our way to NOLA & we decided to visit the Denver Zoo. It was very clean & well kept. My son's favorite exhibit was the penguins, they have an adorable set up. My favorite were the elephants, I've never seen so many elephants in one zoo.As recommended by the website, we ordered our tickets online, the tickets were sent to my email. We scanned the tickets & were able to enjoy the zoo quickly. I would definitely go back again! Due to the layover, we only saw maybe half of the Denver Zoo.

This was such a cool place. It was a beautiful day and all the animals were out and active. We especially loved the elephant area as they were filing and cleaning their feet. The employee working that area gave us a great education on the Denver Zoo elephants, their habits and training. Excellent!

The Denver Zoo is a must do for all animal lovers living in or visiting the Denver area. You'll love the accessibility of the exhibits. The animals enjoy generous space to enjoy their natural habitats where humans have multiple vantages with ample viewing space. We recently went on a particularly busy day but never felt crowded. The staff was friendly and knowledgeable. A few attractions you will want to prioritize are the recently opened Down Under exhibit (I'm intentionally not sharing to much here because I don't want to spoil the pleasant surprise that awaits you), the Siberian Tiger, the Orangutan (who gave us a great show), and the elephants. I can't wait to hear your thoughts.Side note - the frozen strawberry lemonade is wonderfully refreshing and available directly beyond the entrance.

This was my first visit to the zoo other than Zoo Lights. It was easy to move around and it looks like they have some great improvements coming. We had an entry time in the morning so a lot of the animals were just lying around but as the day went on, they were more active. The hospital was so impressive. The prices were reasonable. My only complaint was we wanted to just get some drinks with ice but had to wait in the long line. It would be nice if they had a beverage line only since there was a place with a cash register and beverage machine that were not being used. Otherwise, everything was amazing.

We had a great time here. This zoo is much better than the Birmingham Zoo. I would rate the zoo five star, but several exhibits are closed for renovations. The elephant show was great. We were able to see one tiger. The other one was sleeping on a platform and only partially visible. We saw some lions, seals and sea lions. Our time was limited, so we did not see much else. If you need to leave and return the same day, then you can get your hand stamped and not have to pay to come back in on the same day.

The zoo was awesome. Was $5 bucks and a lot of walking so wear your walking shoes and if your knee hurts like mines bring a cane. But other then that it was awesome. We all had fun and don’t mind coming back soon

So much stuff closed and under construction. Very underwhelming. I understand the need for expansion and growth but when half of the zoo seems inaccessible and you spend the other half looking for animals that aren't in their exhibit because they were moved but there's no signs stating so...eh.... Definitely child have been handled better to set better expectations going in. Needs work in that department.

If one has a SNAP card, Admission is only $1, up to 10 admissions - a way better deal than the $24 now being charged. Incredible that is costs that much - way more than when I was a kid. But then, the DZ has upgraded its exhibits and facilities through the decades.A few animal exhibits were empty, such as bears, seals and others.Still, it's a nice facility with good informational signs and exotic animals that seem to do well at high elevation.

A lovely zoo, and clearly on the way to bigger things. The elephant enclosure is very impressive, the largest I've seen outside of Dan Diego. What they have now seems small for a city the size of Denver, but multiple construction projects are underway. The staff were friendly, informed, and engaged. More detailed maps throughout would be a nice touch, as we missed things and had to backtrack because the main map gave the impression of a simple loop that was not a match for how things felt while walking. Even with poor weather it was a great day out and I would visit again in the future.

Had a great time here with my wife and family. Definitely recommend to visit if you are in the area , lots of animals to see and enjoy . There is alot to see , expect to be there for more than a few hours to truly enjoy and experience everything. The staff is supper friendly and knowledgeable. Your going to have to do alot of walking, so bring comfy shoes and if it's a hot day bring your water bottle they got place you can fill it up . Food is mid and pricey, but when your hungry anything and everything tastes good . Bring some sun screen too to protect yourself from those harmful sun rays . I had a great time petting the stingrays and feeding the birds . They have a little train too that you can take your kids on. Lots to see and enjoy . Throughout the day they have little shows where you can learn about the animals , very fun to watch . Hope you enjoy your time there .

It’s super spread out, a great place to get steps. Some animal enclosures were small and I came on a holiday so the crowds were thick—some animals appeared stressed. They had an impressive collection of venomous snakes which were very visible.

Fun first time at the Denver Zoo. The exhibits that were open were great. Penguins put on a show for us. They were so active and funny. Monkeys were the next big hit. As of early April 2024 there is a lot of construction going on in the zoo for new exhibits. There were several areas with no animals available. Still a great experience! We caught a flamingo trying to escape.

If I could I would give this place 3.5 stars. This place is cool and lots of animals. Not too crowded inside. But the parking is really bad. It has a parking lot but took us 20 minutes to find parking. It’s expensive but has some nice things like the one dollar pressed Pennies. But machine 3 just took my dollar and I couldn’t get it back! I am really mad because every dollar counts. But the other ones worked. Overall nice place.

I enjoyed going to the zoo and spending time with my family. I do think that there should be some sort of mobilized carts for people who are not able to walk the full length of the park. As much as I enjoyed the animals I always say that availability for them.

Bought tickets online ahead of time (as recommended) for Memorial Day Weekend. It took us a solid 15 minutes to find parking, and it ended up being a decent walk from the entrance, so keep that in mind as you’re not supposed to show up more than 30 minutes after your entry reservation time (it might be easier on a non-holiday weekend.)Controversial opinion, but I actually preferred this zoo over the San Diego and Omaha Zoos. There was plenty of shady trees over the walking paths, so I didn’t feel like I was going to get heatstroke (unlike Omaha Zoo). It was actually pleasantly laid out and easy to navigate.As soon as you walk in, you get to see penguins and lions. There’s even viewing places to see the larger animals up close. We also enjoyed the tiger exhibit as Victor the tiger was very vocal that day. I love how they have volunteers that are knowledgeable about the animals stationed at different exhibits that are friendly and chat with you about the species but also the specific animal’s history.Otters are my favorite and I do wish their enclosure wasn’t so small, but this was a really great experience overall. Lots of benches throughout and a great value for the ticket price, especially compared to other museums in Denver. Plenty of families appeared to have brought their own food, and the weather was perfect for picnicking on the tables outside. It seemed clean, well-kept, and a great place to spend the day or bring your family.

We really enjoyed our day at the Denver Zoo. Arrived around 11 and it took the entire day to see everything. Admission was reasonable. We appreciated that this zoo has indoor and outdoor viewing for most a-list animals so even on chilly days, there's a protected place to experience the zoo.

Best zoo experience of my life! Me and my partner went for my birthday and we saw basically everything! The animals all seemed so happy in their exhibits. I loved feeding the stingrays and the lorikeets, and the wild dogs were beautiful! Left with a plush of one myself. I absolutely want to make this a yearly experience!

I went to the Zoo on a Monday morning with a friend from my college years. It was a beautiful, mild day in May and we had so much fun walking around together and enjoying the animals and learning about them. There were so many educational opportunities and it was clear that the Zoo staff cared deeply for the animals. There’s a lot of evidence of enrichment happening and the animals are never forced to perform.

I hadn't been to the Denver zoo in over 30 years..... It was incredible to go back and see how everything has been completely updated. It was literally a whole New world with all the new exhibits and habitats. We had the early bird pass to get in at 8:00 before everybody else came in.... This is highly recommended to beat the crowds. Plenty to do for all ages.... It is definitely a place you can go learn about many many animals. I enjoyed the elephant exhibit.... It was quite large. The tigers also have a pretty incredible habitat. The reptile exhibit was great. They also have lots of random things to do around the park..... activities.... classes other stuff also. There is a barbecue place on premises that sell some pretty good barbecue highly recommended also. Stop by the gift shop on the way out and grab some pretty cool things.... I grabbed a flamingo cup it's awesome 🥰🥰🥰🥰

The Denver Zoo was a very cool experience. The staff was very knowledgeable and friendly. There were several exhibit performances with interaction with the animals. We arrived at 10 am and left at 3:30. We were able to see all available exhibits and enjoy watching without feeling rushed. There is plenty going on, including activities that keep young children entertained the whole time. In the morning, the animals were more lively and moving around. As it got warmer in the afternoon, it was a bit more difficult to get a good look. I would definitely recommend going on a cooler day with cloud coverage. This was our first time going to this Zoo and we'll definitely do it again. The gift shop is great and affordable.

It was a perfect Spring day for the zoo. It wasn't very busy either. There were quite a few enclosures under construction but the animals that were out were super active. We had a minor first aid need and Tim took very good care of us. I had no idea the zoo had a little doctor office setting for first aid!

Such an amazing time. Highly recommend.We went on a Saturday and although it was a little busy it was still a fun experience. The animals seem taken care of well and the environments are pretty neat.We did the general admission and felt like it was worth the money and time. We didn’t eat food there due to dietary restrictions we have but it looks like there’s plenty of spots to eat and relax.Oh and use their app on your phone. It has the map and the event times for them feeding certain animals or showing them off. Pretty cool.Looking forward to getting a membership there.

Well, you should know that I love visiting zoos. This one, founded in 1896, is stellar. Best exhibits penguins, giraffes, and elephants. Do not miss the Down Under exhibit where you can walk amongst the wallabies. Plenty of shade and lots of places for food and to sit and rest. Great for family fun.

Absolutely amazing! Plenty of animals to see even though there is construction happening. Tigers ... we were able to catch Viktor's feeding Viktor and Nikita are absolutely beautiful as well as the other animals. Take the time to see the animals towards the back around the construction area. If you don't like to wander there are maps available. Parking lot is usually full but there is more parking along the park side, not too far of a walk. Gift shop has great souvenirs.

It is Awesome!! If you a photographer looking to build your portfolio or just find something to photograph, I highly recommend the zoo. You can get awesome photos and learn lots of cool things about the animals.It’s very family oriented and well kept. They are constantly adding improvements and making it a safer and better place for our community.

Feeding the stingrays is the best past. It costs $3 to get in and $2 per piece of food, which is frozen shrimp or fish. They are so sweet. The grizzly bear is a favorite. I love her. It's a really big zoo. There's so many animals to see. Timed entry is required. There's a lot of free parking.

We got in at 10am, left around 430. We were able to walk the full zoo and see a few of their presentations.Out of the 5 zoos I've visited this is probably the best maintained. Also really like the layout, basically a circle, making it easy to keep track of where you've been and where to go next.

The Denver Zoo is a can't miss experience! They've really done an incredible job of creating an accessible park while prioritizing animal welfare. There are plenty of nature play areas for children and places to picnic with your family or simply sit and relax near their animals. The animal care staff and education team are all friendly and willing to answer any questions you may have. There are several flex exhibits, so occasionally the signage may not quite match the animal you see - but this is well worth it when you realize it means that animals such as the elephants and rhinos are getting healthy opportunities to experience different environments.Note that tickets have a timed entry, so plan ahead!

It was a fun time for all! My mama hadn't been in over 20 years, so it was nice to have her join along. We enjoined all the animal exhibits! The animals are so amazing and beautiful to watch! The kids enjoyed the animal carousel as well. Parking wasn't bad, and the gift shop had a variety of animal stuffies, which was a plus. It was a great day, and I recommend to all of any age.

The Zoo was mainly cool because me and my boyfriend’s humerus imagination giving the animals we did see voices and personalities…. lol. We went initially for my almost 3 year old because he really is into exotic animals… unfortunately we walked through the entire place and was not able to see very many animals at all… Gorillas, tigers, lions, bears(the main beautiful beasts) were all nowhere to be found…. But we were still thankful for the ones we did get to see… like the turtles… the flamingos (behind glass) & the giraffes. I really did expect more from the Denver zoo especially in the early to late afternoon.. 🫤

Great zoo, and we greatly appreciated the EARLY morning hours during the heatwave! It was awesome to show up at 7:30 A.M. and still have all the animals out and about!!...only negative was that they had no paper maps, and taking a picture of the map can only get you so far. But when it was all said and done it was a great morning!!

Had a great time here. They had a good selection of animals and the whole zoo is mostly a giant loop so its easy to navigate. You do have to get your tickets ahead of time. Did that online and they just scanned the barcode when you go through the gates.

Long time visitors of the Denver Zoo both as native kids ourselves, and with our own familyNew baby orangutan was cool. All the animals were in open, active areas. There is a massive upgrade/expansion project underway in early 2024. The animal hospital is amazing and is setup to allow visitors to observe patient care. We come every year to support our local zoo and will for years to come

We enjoyed going to zoo's so we stopped here for the afternoon. It was a lot of construction at the zoo so some of the places that said a particular animal was going to be was not there. Maybe we missed the signs that said they're not there at this place, but we are following the map that we were given so that was a little confusing. The bathrooms that we did use were very clean and tidy. There was a couple places open to get some food. Very nice for the animals. We did the zoo in an afternoon but you could easily spend a day here looking. Because we do enjoy zoos. We have a zoo pass for our local zoo. It was disappointed that they were not part of the reciprocity for other zoos. You need to purchase your tickets from a kiosk or before you go. There was no one there to actually purchase tickets from

The Denver Zoo is incredible! I loved visiting the exhibits and was pleasantly surprised with the botany in the surrounding enclosures. Absolutely gorgeous flowers and functional greenery.We spent 2.5-3 hours at the zoo without feeling rushed.I recommend getting the Denver Zoo exclusive beer at certain kiosks too!

Had a great experience with the little one over the weekend. Unfortunately there seem to have been a lot of closed exhibits or exhibits that were under construction. We will have to revisit in the future when my son is a little older and maybe be able to give better review. But for now what is available to the public was very entertaining. Still recommend checking out the Denver Zoo for yourself and creating memories with your family.

Brought my grandfather here after some convincing him to get out of the house after my grandma died. He’s been very isolated so I thought the science museum would be a fun family outing. I even surprise bought tickets to the Egypt exhibit. My grandfather was super tickled pink when I brought him here. The first place I brought him was the Egypt exhibit. He LOVED it!!! He was so excited about the exhibit, consistently pulling me over to the exhibit in Egypt he was looking at. He would talk about it and give me little facts he knew. He overall had a fantastic time. We went through almost every exhibit but the planetarium. It was worth every single penny to see my grandpa smile the way he did in such a long time. It was very educational to both of us. If you want something super cool and learn, come here. There is also tons of stuff for kids to adults to do. Their exhibits are super educational and so much to see and look at. If I lived in Denver I’d definitely come back more to see the planetarium and other new exhibits this place offered.

So many things to see and do! I recommend reviewing a map ahead of time to prioritize the exhibits. We spent 4 hours here and we could have easily stayed a few more. Our highlights were the dinosaur fossils and poison exhibit. There is a cafe on site and tables inside if you bring lunch. On weekdays, be prepared for many school groups.Pros-- the depth and variety of the exhibits were wonderful. Many exhibits had staff or volunteers with carts with hands on learning. Those folks were so good about answering questions, especially from kids. Parking was abundant and free.Cons-- there were areas that were not handicap friendly, specifically with elevators that were very slow or not working.

This is a pretty nice museum. There is a ton of taxidermy though which takes up a lot of real estate, and I'd rather see other things. The dinosaur area is pretty neat, and their temporary guitar exhibit was cool! I'd say this museum is worth a visit.

Honestly, five stars is not enough for the value of this museum. It is so packed with great exhibits that it really requires multiple trips to appreciate fully. Great for families. Dinosaurs, mummies, wildlife, gems and minerals, theaters for films, and much more. Something for everyone. I keep going back and always see things I missed the time before. Don't try to see it all in one visit-impossible. But if you only have one opportunity to see it, plan for several hours.

Denver Museum of Nature and Science is a must-visit attraction for anyone visiting or living in the area. With fascinating exhibits, educational content, and engaging activities, it offers a memorable experience for visitors of all ages. From dinosaurs to space exploration, the museum covers a wide range of scientific topics, providing a perfect blend of entertainment and learning. Don't miss out on this enriching and enjoyable destination!

We came here for a summer vacation from Frisco TX. And we are happy that we went to the museum. The museum is very engaging, informative, and big for all ages. We almost spent 4-5 hours in the museum and also went to the planetary science movie, which is around 25 minutes and it was amazing. And if you talk about price, it’s not that pricey and worth to visiting. Totally recommended 👍🏻

The staff at this museum are helpful and accommodating. They are the nicest folks. I was walking across downtown Denver with a large backpack when I stopped in, and the security staff helped me secure the pack safely so I could enjoy the museum. The front desk staff were also up front about the different types of discount admission available. The museum content is world class.

Cannot wait to go back! My daughter and I went on a FREE day and yes it was crowded but not to a point that I wouldn’t do it again. Stunning Dinosaur Exhibit and watching the Archaeological Work in action was fascinating. We saw the Living Color exhibit and we both had so much fun. Lots of interaction for all age and ability groups. We had to leave and missed the other exhibit but again, we both can’t wait to go back.

A Treasure Trove of Wonder!I recently spent a fascinating day exploring the Denver Museum of Nature & Science, and I was thoroughly impressed! This incredible institution is a must-visit destination for anyone curious about the natural world and the wonders of science.The museum's vast collections and exhibits are meticulously curated, showcasing an astonishing array of artifacts, specimens, and interactive displays. From ancient dinosaur fossils to cutting-edge scientific discoveries, the scope of the museum's offerings is truly breathtaking.Highlights of my visit included:- The awe-inspiring dinosaur exhibit, featuring a towering T. rex skeleton and a stunning Triceratops fossil- The beautifully designed Gems and Minerals gallery, showcasing a dazzling array of precious stones and crystals- The interactive Science Zone, where visitors of all ages can engage in hands-on experiments and activities- The captivating exhibit on the history of Colorado's indigenous peoples, offering a poignant and thought-provoking look at the region's rich cultural heritageThe museum's commitment to education and community engagement is evident throughout, with plenty of resources and activities available for visitors of all ages. The staff is friendly, knowledgeable, and enthusiastic, eager to share their expertise and inspire a love of learning.In short, the Denver Museum of Nature & Science is a treasure trove of wonder, a place where curiosity and discovery come alive. Whether you're a science enthusiast, a nature lover, or simply looking for a fun and educational experience, this museum is a must-visit destination.

This place was probably the best natural history museums I have ever been to - not only are they conducting amazing research and supporting learning but the layout and accessibility of this museum is some of the best I have ever experienced. The mineral and animal specimens were showcased in wide dome-shaped areas that made you feel like you were transported to another side of the planet. The time, energy, and effort put into the beauty of these landscapes was nothing short of impecable. I’m not usually someone who can spend all day at at museum but my partner and I spent 7 HOURS (all-day) at this place taking in every inch of it and speaking with the amazing volunteers who were so knowledgeable and kind. If you’re ever in Denver and you or someone you know loves nature & science definitely give this place a visit!

We take our toddlers a few times a month, and they love running around the different exhibits. The Discover Zone is usually our final stop (they usually get wet w the water table), but the Space area is top notch. The planetarium is a nice treat. Very thoughtfully curated Museum to stimulate learning.

They have free days so make sure to check their website for those days. You can reserve timed tickets online to ensure you get a spot, but it wasn’t packed when I went.The museum exhibits are on three stories, but there is also a fourth floor that gives access to a balcony with a great view of the Denver skyline.There’s a great gem and mineral exhibit with a lot of things found here in Colorado.A lot of things are geared towards children, but it’s interesting for adults and would be a nice date night.

Went on a whim because we had a few hours to kill. We have a reciprocal pass from our local museum so that was awesome (we were going either way). Tons of energy and kids there when we went. Was so great to see everyone so happy. For our 3 year old it was perfect. (Let her walk a ton and get tired). For us adults not a ton of different things compared to other science museums in big cities except for the huge rock collection they have on the first floor. Overall very easy to get in and out and free parking (can’t say the same for Dallas)

Firstly set aside 3+ hours to see this monstrosity of education and growth. See I always recommend getting the City pass so you can stroll in and get your QR code scanned and proceed to be amazed. So many exhibits and collections to see. Would come back. The temporary showroom I saw was “BUGS” I really enjoyed the planetarium. Gift shop is great and workers were smiley and helpful.

Great place to visit with family and alone. Kids loved it, 3 floor full off beautiful artifacts. Kids loved that health and science part and my favorite is wild animals. They have an amazing gem stones with lots to history attached to it. Took almost 4 hours to complete the whole thing ( without special event ). Free parking open and garage they even had free EV charging stations. A must place to visit.

Went to the museum on free museum day, and although it was busy, it was a great experience. It's right across the street from a city bus, so it's pretty easy to get to. There are elevators, if you are in a wheelchair, and escalators if you prefer that. However, the dining situation is a tad bit confusing. Overall, it's a really interesting place to visit.

We had a fun time at DMNS exploring the exhibits about dinosaurs and mummies and the kids played in the Discovery Zone. The kids, ages 7 and 10, got a kick out of riding the escalators and seeing how they work from the display on the side. Cleaning sand and dirt off of "fossils" in the Prehistoric Journey (dinosaurs and early mammals) exhibit was a big hit for them. Plus, we got a family membership today, so many more visits are on the agenda.

This museum is very informative and large. I recommend buying tickets in advance for easy access, but it is not required. There is so much to see and do. I would plan a whole day to see this entire museum. We had a great time.

This museum is full of history, science and great interesting pieces. My favorite was def the dinosaur area since I grew up loving them. They even have a sight where the excavate new fossils! It’s super cool to check out. There’s several floors and it takes about 2-3 hours to see everything so take your time!

Great exhibits that will take you many trips to truly see them all. They honored Juneteenth by letting everyone in for free and having booths, activities, and information pertaining to the day. Parking is free in their lot but fills up quickly. They have general admissions and memberships with perks.

We were vacationing with our 5-year old in Denver. After visiting the Children’s Museum the day before, we were pleasantly surprised to find the Denver Museum of Nature & Science was MORE fun and engaging for kids. This was the opposite of a “don’t touch” museum. There were so many exhibits for her to engage with and things to do. (And lots of fascinating information and exhibits for parents, too.) Absolutely a great family-friendly museum to visit. We used CityPass tickets to make our museum visit even more affordable.

I loved coming here as a kid and I still enjoy it as an adult. If you have kids or just like science definitely come here. You can spend hours in here and there is so much to do. Definitely check it out if you have the chance!

This place is massive, with so many cool exhibits to explore. My husband and I had a great time checking out the animals from Australia, the mummies, and the dinosaurs. 🦖

Denver's Museum of Nature and Science is truly exceptional! From captivating exhibits on outer space, flora, and fauna to immersive journeys through Ancient Egypt, complete with fascinating mummies, and thrilling encounters with dinosaurs and prehistoric earth, this museum has redefined the very essence of what a museum should be. I never imagined a museum could be this cool and engaging! A must-visit for anyone seeking an awe-inspiring adventure in history and science.

First time visiting Denver, and my family and I loved it! Three floors of interactive fun, with some exhibits you have to pay extra for. Did not get a chance to go into the gift shop, but we'll be back for the other exhibits like the planetarium and orca exhibit. My kids had fun, they have areas for small kids and areas for bigger kids.Recommendation: There should be an employee in the Astrotots area as there should only be babies in that area, not kids over 3 years old as they like to run through and ruin the fun for the littles.

Having been to a lot of natural history museums, I can say this was one of the best. An outstanding multi-floor exhibit covering the history of life on Earth was the highlight for me, and they have a new exhibit called “Teen Rex” where you can watch scientists working on uncovering the fossilized bones of a juvenile T Rex! We were there for about 3 hours and could have stayed for many more.

Full day experience and guaranteed to have kids sleeping on the ride home lol! So many things to do and see! There are many exhibits and they are always adding new experiences! You can bring your own food which helps with cost if you have a big party. They also have a cafe if you prefer to not pack food. If you have an EBT card you can get up to 10 tickets at $1 each, you just need to purchase tickets in advance on their website and they don’t make you feel any type of way for using the discount. It’s a great summer activity and with some planning you can keep expenses fairly low with HUGE results of happiness and education! Parking is fairly easy if you come early and bring a water bottle- there are places to refill. It is a great experience for all ages! We had a big group from age 6 up to grandparents 65+.

It's always such a treat coming to the Museum! Plenty to explore along with rotating temporary exhibits and films to enjoy. Plus, I've been loving their new pork bao buns!

Pretty great museum. There are a lot of cool things to see and a huge variety as well. The place is definitely kid oriented with tons of stuff to keep them entertained, but it is fun for adults as well. I especially liked the space area and the Colorado geology section as well. Tickets are a bit pricey but not terrible.

My husband and I went here for a date day and it was a lot of fun to learn new things about Colorado, animals, the world and lots of dinosaurs! The prehistoric journey was one of our favorite areas to explore in the museum. Can be very busy (parking can take a little bit of time if you arrive in the middle of the day) but still super worth it!

Seriously so cool! It's even better than I remember as a kid. We spent hours there trying to see it all. My only wish was that the Egyptian exhibit was bigger (Egypt is my favorite!)

Dinosaurs won't disappoint . Minerals are fantastic . Stuffed animals almost as good as Tring . Free parking!But best bit is cafe. Cheap actually nutritious food. Salad bar $12 per lb big choice.

Came here for the first time in 8 years I repeat 8 years. I came here to see the traveling orcas exhibit and was not disappointed. I thought it was something I would get through quickly but ended up staying a little over an hour. It definitely was nice and quiet in there compared to the rest of the museum which was a bonus. As a lover of ocean life and scuba diving this was probably one of my favorite traveling exhibits other than the pirate one from 2011. The rest of the museum was fine I could tell some things had changed like the space exhibit wasn’t the same anymore and the mural in the imax theater was gone. There were kids running everywhere which was slightly frustrating since I came by myself and I just wanted to enjoy it without the commotion.

What an amazing place to explore and learn. Multiple visits are required to see it all. There was everything from rocks to mummies. We also saw an i max movie. Much space and planet exhibits that were entertaining as well as educational.

Great place for the whole family, plan on like 4 to 6 hrs, unless you have a membership. Had a great time from 10am tol 3pm. There was food available, we packed our own lunch and got drinks there. Staff was very nice and helpful, and the "color" exhibit was covered in the price of a general admission ticket. Would recomend to everyone, and will come by again if in Denver.

Amazing! Incredible Gemstone and Mineral exhibit! Also enjoyed Wildlife and the Egyptian Mummy exhibit. To see animals preserved and gifted from over 100 years ago along with the minerals and stones speak to the importance of history preservation. Mummies 2400;2900 years ago- unreal. Thank you so much!

Located in the heart of Denver, this Museum is a must visit for the curious minds. The Museum offers Planetarium, IMAX, extensive collection with detailed explanation along with interactive learning. One would need a whole day to completely explore the Museum to get the most out of it. The museum also offers free days. The cafeteria also has good food and drinks that you can enjoy. It was really a day well spent.

This place was great. The only reason I have it four stars is the parking. Traffic was horrible but of course it was free day. It's probably not like that in a normal day. That being said, free day is a great way for families struggling with money to see some good educational exhibits. Each area on display was very detailed and had great history lessons to go with it. It highly recommend a visit

Customer service has been great every time. My partner and I did the membership to visit often and it’s already paid for itself with only a few visits. Plus we haven’t seen everything yet. Friday evenings are a great time to go as it’s quiet. Excited for the upcoming poison exhibit as well as the orcas before they leave.

Took the kids for 'free day' on Juneteenth and though it was pretty crowded it was still very nice. Free stroller rental helped carry heavy bags & kids. Staff have a friendly approach & are very helpful. Not a long wait for elevators (strollers not allowed on escalators). Favorite area is hard to pick as there are several good ones. My kids love this place. We'll definitely be back for another visit (& not just on 'free days & nights'). 😉

Wish we'd know how big this place was before we went! We could easily have spent the entire day there! The dinosaur exhibit and special Poison exhibit were our favorites. Mummy exhibit was also great. Gem exhibit was good but could be improved by listing what the different gems are used for. Overall, a great experience! Loved the free water station as well.

I took my kids it was only $1 each to go with my EBT card. Totally fun. They always have good learning exhibits. We didn't have to wait in line. We went around 3pm. They close at 5 so not enough time to do it all. Next time we will go earlier. Love that they had lockers. It was so cold that we had our coats but didn't want to carry them so we used a locker. Also the gift shop is always fun. A little pricey on things though. But all in all a great time.

It’s a cool place to bring kids to, there is a lot to see and fun immersive activities to engage in throughout the whole place.I would’ve liked to see a bit more STEAM related stuff, like at OMSI (Oregon Museum of Science and Industry).I was a bit shocked to see so much taxidermy animals, at times it felt excessive and jarring, especially when you see the large animals, the baby animals and multiples of the same animal, and it’s just a lot of animals. Don’t take a shot every time I typed the word animals. It’s a bit intense— Vegans Beware! lolI guess I just didn’t know what to expect. It was still a neat experience but not sure if I would go again unless I’m chaperoning for a field trip.

We spent an afternoon visiting the Denver Museum of Science and Nature. The dinosaur exhibit, the space exhibit, and the mineral exhibit were highlights for my young children. We paid for the orca exhibit, but that largely was a flop, and our kids got bored (they go to a lot of museums and are easily entertained). It's a solid half day experience, and if you have a family, I recommend just sticking with the core exhibits. Also, if you are a member at an ASTC member museum you can get in free. Parking is free but they must have trouble with car break ins based on the signage around the lot and the fact there are several worn down neighborhoods nearby.

This is a cool spot for kids and adults. Lots of amazing details to learn about human, nature, earth and our history. The museum spans over four huge floors. My favorite areas were space and planets. I experience how astronauts operate in the ISS, smelled the air of some of our solar system planets. The mummies were another interesting section, covering the process of mummification and recent technologies revealing more about mummies.Colorado being hotspot for dinosaur fossils, there’s a large section displaying recovered bones and structures. There’s a window to the curving and recovery laboratory where we saw staff drill the bones out of the soil.We walked around rest of the sections that appeared decent to me. The food in cafeteria was so disappointing. The pizza had no real taste, cheese was blend. Was really hoping them to serve decent food since there’s so much foot traffic.Museum is pretty clean. Staff around to help. Parking is free in the lot. During peak time might need to wait few minutes to find an empty spot.

What an exceptional park! Because this park isn’t too big, you can really get to know it in no time. The Eldorado Canyon trail is hard work, but worth all the climbing and miles. Be prepared for the trail conditions and you’ll have a great time. Vault toilets are clean but so stinky here. The visitors center has clear bathrooms and a cute gift shop.

One of the Better State Parks in the Denver area. The road is a little rough going through Eldorado Springs. So, be careful if you have just a normal low clearance vehicle. The trails are very easy to navigate. Nice views of Downtown Denver (on a clear enough day) if you get far enough in. Maybe around the 4 or 5 mile mark.

El Dorado Canyon State Park is an amazing get away close to the front range. It's a climbers haven and has an amazing river that runs right through the middle of it. The park can get packed very quickly so you should be prepared to show up early as the parking spaces are dispersed and it can be hard to find a spot at your exact desired location at times. My favorite hike is the Rattlesnake Gulch Trail. It takes you through the forest and up to the continental divide outlook which has amazing views towards the mountains and great views towards the front range as well. You can also see the train that runs up on the ridge from this trail which is pretty neat to see in person! One word of caution, there was one visit we had where 4 cars were broken into so just as with all parks, don't leave your valuables in your car! Enjoy this beautiful park and all it has to offer... especially after a fresh snow where the snowflakes cling to the forest and mountains!

This park is absolutely beautiful. Parking seems to be a hassle. A lot of folks park outside of the park (not in the little town the park is in - you’ll get towed). You need reservations starting halfway through May to be able to drive in. I was lucky and got in immediately. Seeing the rock climbers was awesome. There were some trail closures to protect some of the wildlife, so check with the rangers or other park personnel to verify where you can go. I couldn’t complain about anything. Again, it was absolutely beautiful when I went. The flowers in the meadows of the open space next to the park were blooming. You have multiple vista points. Fowler trail is completely flat (the end gets a little rocky though) but you have some great views from it. I went on to travel up Goshawk Trail as well. I saw some folks on horseback, I saw some deer, I saw flowers. It was just a very peaceful time! I will definitely be visiting again!

Gorgeous state park - whitewater flowing down through the canyon. I saw families enjoying the area and a fly fisherman. I hiked the Rattlesnake Gulch trail, which had spectacular views.They have a large visitor center, but I didn’t have time to visit the building. The ranger was very helpful and friendly.Spotted wild turkeys and mule deer.

The park is so beautiful, we did picnic there in the visitor place. But the thing is the road is kinda bumpy. Maybe if they fix it it will be more greatPeople go hike, climb also walking around the park. It’s really recommended to visit with family and friends.

The place near to the the Denver and really nice trail. Rock climbers are here to get better views from the top of the rock!Creek passing through the park is really nice place.Picnic area at the visitor center is enough for a happy family! One can pick up favourite food with them and have a nice picnic.

Such a beautiful state park with some amazing views. I did the rattlesnake gulch trail which is almost 3.75 miles out and back. The continental divide overlook at the top extremely beautiful. Well marked trails with important information. Can’t wait to visit again during summer/fall!

What a beautiful park! I am in love with Colorado Because of hidden places like this. You drive a road that almost feels like you are going back in time through the cutest little town but you still don’t see the grandness of the park until you go around the bend and see the majestic boulders, the frozen river, the beautiful mountains, trails for all ages, etc. if you are looking for peace this is the place to find it. Just a few mins from the city of Boulder in what feels like a world away.

I have been to a lot of national parks and this one is by far in my top 10. The staff at the entrance is really nice and will direct you if need be. There are a lot of rock climbing paths, trails, visitors center and more. The views are amazing as you can see from my photos. They do offer kid style maps and ways to learn the park. As well as a drinking fountain outdoors that comes straight from the river. If you want some cool’s facts is Eldorado springs is famous for their water that has these exact mountains on the logo. Pick up a bottle of water from the local gas station the next time you visit.

Great park to see. We went for a picnic with friends. Nice picnic area by stream. There are also trails to hike and climbing.

Beautiful park with amazing trails. We did the rattlesnake gulch trail to the continental divide lookout. Cool to watch the climbers too. You’ll likely need a timed entry parks pass through Colorado State Park so plan ahead.

An absolutely beautiful state park! Make sure you make a reservation as you can't get into the park without it, but once you are in it is gorgeous! With the drive in along the river, we did the Rattlesnake Gulch Trail up to the Continental Divide Overlook and it was perfect! A good amount of elevation gain but not too tough. Highly recommend, it was a beautiful park!

Had a beautiful day out on Fowler today. If you are a rock climber, scrambling and free climbing meca paradise.

Absolutely breathtaking views and a mix of hiking trails for all skill levels. A MUST to add to your National Parks bucket list!

We have hiked here many times throughout the years. The hike is moderate to semi difficult. One needs to hike beyond the old hotel area. To the scenic overlook. A nice place to take a much needed rest and have lunch.We saw a deer on the path on the way down. Our first time in all these years.One area has been closed off last Summer and again this Summer.The river area at the bottom is a lovely area to sit and place your tired feet into the cold running water.

Wow. Just wow.Did not expect the beauty of this place. Variety of trails, but even if you simply drive through, it's worth it. Roaring, bubbly river, deep canyon, amazing views.

Beautiful views from the hiking trails. The stream running through the canyon adds soothing sounds to the ambiance of nature in the lower areas of the park, cool breezes and mountain air all with the faint scent of pine along the trails make this a worthy hiking destination. The trails are well laid out, however trail markers are a bit sparse if it's your first visit. Take a pic or a paper map, it at least use your favorite hiking app if you're not familiar with the trails in this park.PSA: The road through Eldorado Springs is a pothole heavy gravel road, so travel carefully. The speed limit is 10mph, however if you travel the road that quickly, it could be a mistake, especially if you don't drive a high ground clearance vehicle.

This is a well-kept state park with gorgeous views, several trail options, and well-marked trails.

We got the state parks free added on to our car registration this year, and are working on visiting them! This is a worthy visit! Beautiful views all around. Hiking trails range from easy to fairly difficult. Weather kept us from staying as long as we wanted, but we will be back.

Gorgeous park - great for hiking, biking, and rock climbing - or watching rock climbing for those of us who are less adventurous! Dog-friendly - just need to keep the pups leashed. Restrooms are available. The streamside trail and Fowler trail are fairly easy, but can be rocky in spots. Parking is very limited. May - Sep timed reservations are required (see park website for details). In the Fall traffic can still be heavy on the weekends, so I would recommend arriving before 10am, or you may not be allowed to enter. No parking in the town of El Dorado Springs except for residents. There are also other trails just outside the park as well. The paved road ends just as you enter town and get close to the park entrance (Oct 2023), so be careful of large dips in the road (not recommended for cars low to the ground).

A beautiful unique place to hike, contemplate, climb, breath and enjoy nature in so many ways. Pets are allowed. Please be respectful and always pick after your dog so we can all keep bringing our beautiful angels with us. Friendly people. Beautiful park with breathtaking views.

Breathtaking park, very well maintained with rest/picnic areas, climbing areas, and public restrooms. In the weekend, parking reservation are needed but I was easily able to get mine the night before. The park has several trails and I chose the Eldorado canyon trail. At 7am on a Sunday morning I had it all to myself. The first mile is a somewhat challenging 800 ft gain, and than there are a relatively mild 1.75 miles. The last 0.75 miles decline 600 ft to a beautiful creek, which totally worth the hike, but remember that thereafter you have a 600ft climb included in a 3.5 miles hiking back. Each direction took me about 2 hrs of walking. I cannot wait to go back and take additional trails!

A little overcrowded when I went, but a nice place to see and hike.

Gorgeous mountains. Absolutely breathtaking.

Intermediate level; for beginners hike may seem intimidating as the incline begins pretty quickly from the trailhead, but keep going! The views are totally worth it. We took the Chautauqua trail-Flatiron 2/3 hike up and the Bluebird-Baird trail down. Enjoy the hike!

This an amazing place with orange brown big rocks around. It’s very nice for hiking as well. This is most amazing place for photography and beautiful landscapes ♥️🤩😍

This trail kicked my butt. Visiting from the east coast and not used to the elevation. Also, there are some ABSOLUTELY TERRIFYING parts of this trail that the locals cross with ease. My husband and I were looking at parts of the trails that look like the left overs of a massive rock slide and not a trail at all. Haha still beautiful and very rewarding to finish. If you hike a lot maybe you won't have as hard of a time as I did! The actual flatiron itself and not the trail....yeah that's never gonna happen. I'm convinced people from Colorado have goat legs.

Absolutely breathtaking! I am an avid hiker but I'm typically on the Appalachian trail. This was the most beautiful thing that I've ever seen in my life lol. If I didn't have the proof that I was actually here I feel like I look photoshopped in these photos, that's how unreal and beautiful everything is.

Cool mountains with a nice field and restaurants at the base.

Bring water. Don't under estimate these hikes 😭

This so far have been one of the most beautiful hiking that I have ever done in Colorado is super beautiful at the top and it’s wild at least when I went 😂 probably because a tree felt !!!

A great view and hike, hiking up to mallory cave can be a bit challenging, as you’ll be climbing almost 1000 feet, still a great hike, make sure to check out the atmospheric center too!

Always beautiful in any season but my favorite is seeing them covered with snow!

Awesome, simple hike, for beginners. Especially if you are new to the area. Parking can be an issue and if you are hiking on a weekend or a holiday it can be crowded. Overall it is a great experience and will definitely give you a break from the pretentious City life in Boulder!

I've hiked this place in winter and summer and it's just as amazing either way. There are different trails with different difficulty and their is a general store for a few more supplies but make sure to bring lots of water.

Lots of parking on Baseline road. Park lot fills up fast. Still some snow on trails so wear hiking shoes vs sneakers. So close to CU campus.

Breathtaking Flatirons area is a must when visiting Boulder. Beautiful views, hiking trails of different difficulty levels. Wear good shoes, bring water, lease your dogs. Be aware that you are at high altitude! Paid parking lot is available, but there are few spots, parking could get complicated.

We were told the Bear Canyon trail was the most known Boulder beginner hike. We brought our toddlers to do it with us! We went on a weekday and it was not busy.Definitely a kid-friendly hiking experience, but a bit too much on the hills at the end. We ended up carrying them for about 1/3 of the way.Gorgeous views - absolutely beautiful! The pictures I got were only with a smartphone camera.We also saw a mid-size bull snake, a doe, cows, a plethora of birds and butterflies. The bugs were manageable without bug spray. Lots of plant species, flowers, rock specimens and natural landscape to observe if you're into natural history. A few little streams along the trail, and several shady spots to take a water break.We did not see public restrooms or a place to get maps of the trail prior. We were able to download it to our phone before coming. Overall, an easy hike without kids and better suited for kids 6+ if you are doing the whole loop.

This park sits at the foot of the Flatirons and therefore is the perfect place to get a closer look at them and the Boulder area from a high vantage point. The park is actually in a residential area in Boulder and not far from U of CO. There’s not a lot of parking and it tends to be pretty busy so finding a spot can be challenging. Suggest you go at a non-peak time such as a morning or on a weekday. We did not explore the park fully. We basically just walked up the first incline to the initial “landing”. That’s a fairly steep walk on its own and plenty high enough to get a good view of everything. The trails go further up and around the Flatirons so you’ll definitely get your exercise in if you continue! This isn’t really a park for hanging out, relaxing or picnicking…it’s for walking/hiking/exercising, etc. So if you come for the views like we did, it can be a quick in and out.

I'm a creative based out of Denver and this is one of my favorite locations to shoot proposals in. The park is always clean and the views are unmatched. I really like how you can go easy or really advanced on the hiking trails. If you are looking for a great hike or something to do while in Boulder this is perfect for that. If you are someone looking to ask another person the most important question in your life this is a place I fully can recommend and it won't disappoint. Make sure you go at sunrise or sunset to avoid large crowds of people as the park is amazing and a lot of people like to go during certain times.-Lemar

At Chautauqua Park and took the Royal Arch trail. A holiday weekend and the hike took us 5 hours to complete. Normal time is 3 to 3.5 hours to complete. It was beautiful day but just a little to crowded for us. Lots of dogs and lots of hikers equals log-jams and numerous points during the hike. But I'm not mad at anyone or anything crowded trails is a wonderful problem to have living in Colorado. I would recommend this park and it's many trails to all. The views are amazing and skill levels of all can hike a trail here. I can't wait to get back up, just maybe not during a holiday weekend next time.

Been coming to Chautauqua for almost 30 years. Love the trails and have stayed in the cabins probably 7 or 8 times over the years. Cute cabins with all the amenities minus a TV which is actually a blessing. Easy access to all the trails and 5 minutes to the walking outdoor mall on Pearl Street. Not far from Estes Park/Rocky Mountain National Park. Boulder is a beautiful place with a great vibe which the wife and family love.

By far one of the best hikes in Boulder, you can easily spend all day here hiking and climbing up to the flatirons. There are several different trails for different levels and scenery. There are a couple of spots with picnic tables and restrooms. It gets alot colder at the top so I recommend bringing a jacket, it was also extremely icy in spots where you would just slide and could easily fall so be cautious!!

Our group of 4 did the route up to Royal Arch in the middle of April. This was a slightly technical hike, with a few spots you need to scramble up or down rocks to continue up the trail. We were happy to be in hiking boots and using trekking poles, but plenty of folks on the trail were in sneakers and not using poles, so it's fine for a casual outing. Some spots are a little slippery, but caution is all that's needed.This hike is beautiful from start to finish! We started in the meadow, then the landscape shifted to evergreen woods with ample stone formations, interesting lichens, local spring ephemeral wildflowers, and underbrush growing in. We didn't see many bird varieties beyond a few magpies, but we did spot some mule deer, and most importantly, a Colorado chipmunk! There was still snow on the ground in places.The arch itself is breathtaking, offering a sweeping vista that looks out across Boulder, with a great view of CU. Well worth the effort!

Beautiful park with access to hikes with great views of the flatirons and Royal Arch! Plenty of fun spaces and open fields for kids to play in as well!Gift shop/coffee shop is cute and reasonably priced as well.

Great local hiking spot. I went on a weekday, so it wasn't as busy as it usually gets. That was super nice! The Forrest Ranger came to greet me and asked if I had any questions and showed me their new map! And off I went! Check out the pics!

Stopped here for a hike and a picnic lunch. Parking was difficult as there was a wedding and a CU football home game in town. We were happy to find that there were a couple electric vehicle chargers on-site. Great water station and facility for the pups too!

Beautiful place to see the Flatirons. We did not know what to expect so, no hiking shoes but the path was not bad and the trails are marked clearly. We did somehow encounter a few rough spots as we got to higher elevation due to the snowfall from a few days before. The blue trail especially, was a little rough and muddy. But when you do make it to the top, the view is breathless... no pun intended... 😆It is worth taking the time to visit this park If you want beautiful photos and catch some wildlife.Our family thoroughly enjoyed our hike that afternoon.

This area was recommended to me as a good place to hike. It was very crowded on a sunny weekend at the end of March, but the hike was great! Still some snow and a lot of mud, but it was very scenic and enjoyable, especially with the great weather.

Great hiking and plenty of options. The trails are labeled for difficulty and the overlap so it’s easy to change. Not super difficult and a decent amount of shade and breezes. Pretty views overlooking the city as well as the mountains.

The hiking here is fantastic and has easy to challenging terrain, beautiful flowers, and grand views. We arrived early on a cool morning and grabbed the last close-in parking spot ($2.50/hr -- There is a free shuttle and parking though.) Remember to bring a picnic lunch, sufficient water, sun screen and a bear whistle. Yes, bears are seen occasionally 🐻. After your hike, you will want to pull a blanket out of your car and sit under the trees until your parking expires to soak up every last moment of mountain sunshine. Be alert to your watch however because City of Boulder parking cops walk around continuously checking license plates for violators. It's a popular park and there is a steady stream of cars looking to grab your spot when you leave. We found 3 hours allows for a good hike and picnic/rest time. Enjoy!

Wow. Such a beautiful place with incredible vistas and hikes. Can't wait to come back. The staff at the ranger station were cheerful and helpful. Loved my time here.

Beautiful trailhead and park! Definitely have to try it at least once. The trails are quite steep but definitely worth the effort!

Third time at this park and hiking the Royal Arch Trail. Always a great hike that’s challenging but not too difficult. Wasn’t overly crowded at all for a beautiful Saturday morning (went on Sept. 9th, 2023).

Chautauqua never disappoints! Just get there early for the good parking...hiked up to the Royal Arch on a cloudy almost foggy day and it was pure magic... the cell pic doesn't do it justice

Is breathe taking boulder mountain. Today was a perfect day for the hike to the Royal Arch..Took a bunch of pictures and talked to a bunch of nice people along the way.Well, we took our time snack, enjoy nature and pictures. Is a steep hike, but everyone can do it. Do suggest a pair of good hiking shoes because the trail is rocky.We felt like coming down hill a lot of impact on the feet.Bring a good amount of water or some hydration pack, and protein drinks are a good start. We also brought coconut water.

This park is one of those where you can go relax, get a picnic time, or just hike around. Amazing place to relieve all day stress and revive. The Faltirons around gives you plenty of options to hike. Never had issue with parking spots. Plenty of parking area around.

Amazing park, with tons of trails for any difficulty and distance. Parking is moderately challenging, be prepared for a search during busy times.

Fantastic park! Stunning mountains and lush trees make this hike a must have experience! It was too cold for me to really discover everything this area has to offer but will return in the spring to see just how gorgeous this place gets! (Update: IT’S WAY BETTER IN THE SPRING! True Colorado experience!)

The trails and park were so fantastic, but I was blown away by my post hike fuel up at The Dining Hall. Great community at this park a

Beautiful as usual. And as usual it was quite busy even at 6:30 am. A small parking lot near the ranger station was almost full.

This is a small campus separated by urban sprawl. We were here for a conference. We had to either drive or wait for a bus to visit the other end of the school.Some of the facilities are very new. These are nice. Other facilities, like the dorm we were housed in, had windows that wouldn't open and lacked air conditioning.We explored quite a bit of the campus. The lake and 100+ year old buildings in the vicinity are worth visiting.We saw shows in the arena. Unfortunately, during the summer, this building is not air conditioned. It was stiflingly hot.

One of the most beautiful campuses I have visited. Spectacular landscape with mountains on the side, and the buildings are uniquely colored due to locally sourced limestone. Highly recommend for few hours to be spent here to anyone passing by Boulder.

We were there for freshman move in and the made it pretty smooth and easy

It's a small campus, but pretty beautiful

Beautiful campus!Spent time here in the summer. See the photos.They have a space exhibit at old main, a planetarium, an observatory, and many other things to see and do.The buildings all share a unified stone and red tile them on the roof.They also do walking tours.

The stately, majestic campus of one of the great universities of the American West. I must admit that I'm a little biased toward Colorado Boulder, having grown up in the Colorado front range region, but returning to this campus, I am even more impressed by its magnificence and its sprawling beauty than I was when I was younger. The campus is a wonderful, lively place to wander around and explore, seeing a variety of new sites ranging from a scale model of the solar system to a lovely little prairie like area that has carrots growing in it. This is a place that feels constantly surprising, and it's never boring when you are walking through it, yet the campus feels remarkably unified. Despite the differences in when the buildings were constructed, they all feel cohesive, and they all have that specific reddish-brown stone color that glows in the mountain sunlight, making the campus look both like a site for true learning and comprehension and a distinctly Colorado place that could not exist anywhere else. I highly recommend coming here if you are in the area, and if you are considering going to the University of Colorado Boulder, I guarantee you that you will enjoy your time at this campus.

Our son is a student at CU Boulder and we couldn't be more happy with his decision to be a buff. A fantastic academic institution with a diverse student population and (in my opinion) the prettiest campus in the world. Absolutely love the place!

Surrounded by mountains and greenery, an awesome place to get your degree from!! Wintery days are gloomy but the mountains compensate for those once snow starts. The temp in peak winter (Feb-March) drops to as low as -25 degree C (-13 F). The spring brings a new life to the place and the beauty gets enhanced by blooming flowers all around.

Boulder, Colorado was a place I wanted to visit at least once, and I knew that real estate would be expensive due to the large number of IT companies, which meant it would be safe.The University of Boulder, located there, was also a place I actually longed to visit. Unfortunately, the weather was not ideal, but we drove through the campus, which had a very nice atmosphere. There were many fashionable stores around the school.

Beautiful Place, weather can be moody.Best coffee on campus is at the Laughing Goat, Norlin Library

I cannot personally attest to the academics here, but the campus was beautiful. I have two mates that go here, and they seem to really enjoy it if that counts for anything. The Front Range gets over 300 days of sun per year, and that is reflected in the red tile roofs and solar panels gracing them, very progressive of Colorado-Boulder. Worth a visit if in the area or hoping to enroll in the university, though one should note that it's a good distance away from Denver International Airport, and transportation should be arranged if you would like to make decent timing there since using public transport includes taking several busses and transfers.

This was my second visit to Pearl St. and we loved it both times. There's honestly too many places to visit in one day. This outdoor shopping mall is nothing like I've been to in the Midwest (what I'm used to). The shops have something for everyone in them. The various bookstores and toy stores were my favorite. I especially enjoyed the Trident Booksellers and Cafe. Having the option to get my favorite drink and explore a unique bookstore is my favorite way to spend any day.

Very cool place. A must visit while in Boulder. Lots of shops and restaurant options. We enjoyed strolling at night or during the day.

Along with the University of Colorado, the Pearl Street Mall are the main attractions within the city of Boulder. There is lots of shopping and great restaurants along the Pearl Street thoroughfare, which is mainly a pedestrian only street. The amount of history associated with this area of town is also very neat as well. This is a must visit attraction!

This is the beautiful historic downtown of Boulder. There are lots of shops and restaurants along a very walkable and accessible street closed to traffic. It's spotlessly clean and beautifully maintained. The historic buildings are gorgeous and very interesting. I highly recommend visiting!

Great outdoor walking mall with all sorts of shops, restaurants, and bars. Loved the Ruthie's specialty grilled cheese sandwiches.When we visited, the public restroom on the mall was out of order and closed but less than 1/2 block down we could use the easily accessible courthouse restrooms.

Our 1st time visiting Colorado so we wanted to explore and ended up at Pearl Street Mall. A few blocks of shops, restaurants, boutiques, Cafes, Gelato, Ice Cream & more. Such a nice walkway full of beautiful flower beds, plenty of benches... a peaceful feeling.We had lunch at Pasta Jay's which was delicious! Then went on walking and shopping around at different stores, made a stop at Capital One Cafe for a nice latte, then off for ice cream... simply an amazing day here for us, so we're happy to have found it.

The Pearl Street Mall is one of my favorite places to visit whenever I'm in Boulder! I love that it's not only a place for shopping and eating, but also entertainment and play! Boulder does an amazing job keeping it clean - and the flower beds well maintained. There are fun, one off, places for the kids to play and "get the wiggles out". Next time, I definitely want to let my kiddos play at the splash pad! I was very excited to introduce my kids to the Boulder Bookstore, and I am SO happy they loved it as much as I do!!

This pedestrian area that covers 4 to 5 blocks in Boulder is an absolutely must do during your visit. It is full of various shops, eateries and bars, and simply a delight to walk through and soak up the atmosphere. Has an upscale feel and not just low brow souvenir shops. I’m not sure if my pictures really do it justice, but it is really a very pleasant, attractive area to pass some time. Probably would be a great place to people watch as well. There is paid street parking nearby. I would recommend parking somewhere near 11th St. The mall extends to 15th St. on the far end.

Such a fun place to shop and explore. Tons of variety in both, something for everyone. Options to shop local, as well as the big name brands Nice, wide area between storefronts to accommodate the masses of people, even outdoor dining areas roped off from the passerby’s. It was beautifully landscaped. There was enjoyable street performers. It’s a wonderful place to spend a few hours and stroll, shop, people watch, eat or drink.

A great place for anyone and everyone to have a wonderful time, to shop, enjoy great food and ice cream, walk around and relax. 100's of stores with 20+ eateries (including 5+ ice cream/gelato shops), 20+ clothing and 10+ accessories, art museums etc.The ambience was also quite nice and we all loved just walking around and seeing the mountains and other shops in the Mall. The list of shops can be found at

Open concept mall(i.e. not like a traditional mall where all the shops are inside an enclosed giant building). The mall gives a vintage vibe with some exciting art performances. I bought postcards from Art Source International. The mall also has a public restroom which is virtually absent everywhere else in the town.

Pretty pretty downtown! We liked the street mall concept and the light live music that was being played by wonderful artists. We will visit this place again!

Give or take the university, this is probably the most famous site in Boulder, and rightly so. There is not much I can add to the mythology that has gathered around this mall, other than to say it demands to be seen for itself. Pictures are great but they do not do it justice. This mall is meant to be experienced the beauty and elegance of it, the lively and whimsical atmosphere that contains the spirit of the city of Boulder better than any other place, is not in any individual store or statue or statue or mural, regardless of how colorfully splashy and vibrant those places and sites might be, but in the experience of wandering through the street, exploring, allowing your mind to be overtaken by the symphony of impressions and sensations produced by such a place. Make sure to note even the little intricacies, such as the crosswalks that look like rushing rivers flowing over smooth rocks, capturing the outdoorsy and adventurous essence of Boulder.

Coolest part about this area are the street performances. Saw the Zip Code guy and he’s one of a kind. He know every zip code in North America, Europe, and most of Asia. Insane craft and dedication to memorizing all of them.The other performance we saw was from Sam Malcom. Very very good comedian. Gets the crowd involved and we had a great time watching both of them.

While I was enjoying a magnificent coffee drink from Falafel King, I was lucky to witness the sweet train that goes by every few minutes. The Pearl Street Mall is always such a delight and you’ll never have the same experience twice. There’s always something going on to entertain the throng, such as music, dance, kitty train, etc. A great way to spend your day!

Nice touristy spot with lots of name brand shops, nice upscale and quick eats places. Beautiful old buildings, especially the Boulder Theater with its art deco ceramic tile facade. Great bookstore and small unique shops like Into The Wind and Liberty Puzzles.

Fun street to walk down full of food, dessert and shopping options.

What a wonderful area. Tons of shops, everything you could possibly want. Plus, many restaurants of all different types. There were a lot of people there, but the size of the area, handles it very well. Plenty of security with the police strolling around with everyone, hardly notice they were there, but comfortable they were! We loved this whole area! Oh, and lots of parking garages and lots all around, that are free on the weekend! Cheers

We made it. This is one of the most beautiful street malls I have ever visited. And no matter how great everything is, there are always mountains in the background to make it better.

What a fun place to walk around and shop. I also love the beautiful mall surroundings...

Enjoyed this outdoor space with tons of shops and restaurants. It's worth a visit if you're in Boulder. It's not bargain shopping, but it's fun. Also great for people watching.

Was rather pressed for time so really didn't spend time on the mall. Went to Illegal Pete's for lunch. (Disappointing), and went into Postino across the street to get a menu. Went on a nice hike starting at the western end of Pearl Street.

Lived in the area for a long time & just came back on vacation after 5 years. Pearl Street has definitely changed a lot! What used to be all cool little shops are now all common chain-franchises that you see literally everywhere else! All the Bar / restaurants are all really good! That is, if you don't mind spending a lot!.. The parking situation is terrible now! Apparently, you need to download some stupid app to park anywhere. And there are NOT a lot of signs that express this! So, you end up with a ticket if you're not in the know & park somewhere with NO sign!.. Plus, everything opens late & closes very early now! So keep it on a schedule!.. Kind of sucks & we were over it pretty quick.

Pearl Street Mall is an excellent place to visit in Boulder! The pedestrian-friendly street is lined with a variety of unique shops, restaurants, and cafes. The atmosphere is vibrant and lively, with street performers adding to the charm. It's a perfect spot for a leisurely stroll, shopping, or grabbing a bite to eat. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Boulder!

Great outlets and Great food. You have to experience it. This was low season though. Not a lot of crowd. Only the best places were open. But it's a great street to walk by and enjoy the enthusiasm

Nice place to dine, shop, and stroll. Live music and street performers added a great deal to the positive atmosphere. Well kept, lots of flowers and wall art.

Boulder is such a quirky, hippy, dippy, little college town so if that's your vibe, they are your tribe! Pearl Street is such a staple and a must visit to get the Boulder experience. Eclectic shops, eateries, food trucks. Brazil Fest performs here, very late summer time frame as do other performers and creative outfits. I definitely appreciate the shout out to the LGBTQ on the pedestrian walk as featured in my clip. :)

Hadn't been here in forever. Nice way to cool down before heading to a concert.

On this occasion I only give it 3 stars because I didn't find what I was looking for and it was very disorganized. I couldn't find the shoes in my size, there were only very large sizes and in the wrong boxes. It said 6 or 7 and when you took out the shoe it was 11 or 10. They need to have more order in the sizes of the shoes. more small sizes please

After all the horrible experiences I've had here and recently hearing some things from others, I had to post this. I stopped going here a few years ago because of security profiling people who don't dress "normal". It was a constant problem when I was in highschool, even though my group of friends and I were straight A students that never got into any sort of trouble. We were honestly the most straight edge, boring group around. And it was every single time we went. One incident I can recall very well is waiting with one friend for the others to show up. We waited on the bench and one other friend arrived. No sooner had we simply stood up and said hello before a security guard came over and yelled at us for "standing in a large intimidating group." We said we were waiting for another friend and he actually said that we'd have to sit back down on the bench or we'd have to leave. And things like this happened to us every single time we went to this place. We couldn't even stand quietly outside the theater and wait for our movie to start without being harassed about why we were there and when our movie was starting, even though there were many "normal" dressed people nearby actually screaming and running around. It was ridiculous. I had other friends and past boyfriends that would refuse to go here with our group because of this treatment. It continued even way after I went to college. The only time I wasn't yelled at, harassed, or followed around stores like I was a criminal by security was when I was with my mom or my one "normal dressed" friend. I've never received treatment like this at any other mall or actually any other place I've ever been to. I would never go back and I shudder to think of all the money I used to spend here. It's not even that good of a mall and definitely not worth it when there are better ones out there that don't treat people horribly just because they wear black and have piercings. So yeah, if you dress alternatively in any way, I don't recommend this place. And even if you don't... I still don't recommend it because literally every other mall is better anyways.

This apartment complex is great! The have common rooms in the floor for entertaining and private rooms for you to use your computer at. The pool is wonderful with the waterfall and great size, too! It's heated. So, it's a pleasant experience. The staff still hasn't decided what the ideal temperature should be. We say 85%. But others say, it should be lower. It's too hot. But for us, 76- 80% doesn't do it. The apartments are beautifully done!

I love coming here and now that its Christmas time it will be even more magical 🥰😍

It has lots of places to shop. It's out of my path so I definitely don't come here often. But when I do I find what I need.Parking is a bit of a hassle. There are a few lots here and there. But then you have to find your way back to the shops you came for.If you have mobility issues this may not be your first choice in shopping centers.But if you have time and get around with ease your bed option is to park in the larger lot and walk to your location.

Nice shopping center with a wonderful play area for the kiddos and a really cool splash pad. Lots of nice shops and restaurants, plus lots of shade! Parallel parking a bit problematic for a Ford F150 as it barely fits in the painted lines but it's such s nice shopping center to walk around so I don't mind parking a bit further away when I find a spot my pickup fits in easily. Definitely recommend The Orchard Town Center!

First, this is an outdoor mall, not a traditional enclosed mall, so weather is a factor. I like Orchard Town Center. It is a large complex containing the whole spectrum of retail outlets. Restaurants, retail, professional, and outdoor spaces. We don't live in walking distance but I'm sure those who do utilize this campus regularly. Driving through is a bit of a PITA but there is plenty of parking, just be prepared to walk. There are still some empty storefronts here, so new tenants are always a possibility. We've been here numerous times and have never dealt with any hooligans or rough situations and the campus is kept clean and neat. The coolest part is the live music/events that take place here. The area around the facility is still building up, so I'm sure it will get used more in the future but for now, we love coming here.

So family friendly! We love the splash pad in the summer and the playground is always a hit. But have you visited the family bathrooms? Amazing! Nursing room, changing table, small area with wall toys. Quiet, spacious, and super clean! Just what we needed for the kids and babies!

Two hours for over priced pizza, and I live less than 10 min away. Don't even bother with this place. NEVER ordering again, and I hope no one else does either.

Great place to walk around just sightseeing, but tons of shops and restaurants to explore.

I love the newly remodeled area. I enjoy that the malls are going away and being replaced with these walk outside and shop.

We were going to paint at the pottery place and my keys slipped down a giant pothole, and I thought they were lost forever. The sweetest man named Aaron came to the rescue and got my keys out for me! He was so nice and helpful! Thanks, Aaron for going above and beyond!

I enjoy this area!! They did a great job with places for the kids, the summer concerts, and the variety of shoe and restaurants is wonderful. I really enjoy it during Christmas with the lights and decorations.

It was amazing! We did Whimsy paint and sip. So much fun!!

The Orchard has everything you need. Great place for a date, for family activities, and for solo "retail therapy" :) Nice restaurants, excellent major retailers and fun concerts and events year-round. It's very walkable and doesn't feel like a mall, it's more like a Disneyland of retail. I'm from L.A. and would compare it to The Grove in the 3rd & Fairfax area. Stop and enjoy the outdoor fireplaces! It's a pretty magical place at the Holiday Season as well, with beautiful Christmas trees and decorations, not to mention a lovely Hannukah display. The property is clean and well-managed, and there are increasingly more local businesses in the center, which is nice to see. My only complaint is that the streets are a bit narrow and very circuitous, which is really annoying. I feel like I'm gong in circles if I drive around too much. Certain shops can also be difficult to find because of that. That said, there's ample parking. Pay a visit!

Love shopping 🛍 here! Penny's and Macy's are great. There is plenty of free parking .

Tons of varieties of different stores ones I haven’t seen in forever everything from hot topic to just Rustic. The outside area with a lit fireplace for you to get warm by also very cute. All the metal work done very clean a very nice place to go walk around plenty of places to sit and talk. The parking is great. Definitely good for a date night especially since AMC theater is also right there.

!!!!OFF BROADWAY SHOES!!!!!!Worst customer service in my life!!!!!!! Go there to get shoes for my kids and they ask to go to the restroom. Was told by an employee they would grab the key then meet us back there. After a few minutes she comes back and says someone is using it and we could wait. We did, for 10 minutes. My kids are actually crying they need to go soo bad. A store worker comes out of the bathroom and says they are closed and we couldn’t use them as they close in an hour. Her name is Aspen, I tell her they have been waiting and if they could use go real quick, with attitude she says nope they cant go and we can leave. I have never seen this lack of customer service and will be never returning. The folks at Famous Footwear Nextdoor were amazing and will be getting my business now on.

Forever 21 is a great store good sales good prices swim suits and cover ups are super cute Many other stores to visit and get a great deal on Visit today outdoor Super Mall nice for the whole family

Was going to come by for the market but they had 3 different delivery and brinks trucks blocking numerous handicap spaces even saw an officer drive right on by. Will save my money and go somewhere considerate
