There is a plethora of information and an impressive display of aircraft at the museum. The volunteer staff have a great deal of knowledge are are very friendly. I have to say that since I have been to other museums (Pima in Tuscon & the Smithson in DC) I cannot say this is the best I have experienced. I know that this is a great collection for our location so I am rating it 5 stars. Very interesting & informative for all ages ..... I loved it!

There's a plethora of information available as you walk through the museum. Almost every aircraft has some interesting details about it. It was cool to see some Star Wars models. They even had a model of the inside of the ISS station. You could also get on a flight simulator that costs about 10 bucks. Great place to bring the kids to do their activities. They had paper airplanes and paper rockets 🚀. Overall, fun place to visit 5/5.

Excellent air museum although it is on the smaller side. Other than 2 outdoor planes the museum is entirely contained in 1 massive aircraft hanger. Every plane and helicopter in the public area are expertly maintained and look fantastic for their age. A museum floor map is available although the museum is pretty easy to navigate without it, especially with the detailed information panels near every big exhibit.

I went to the museum or specifically for the candle light concert, that was happening inside hangar 2 of the airfield museum.I find it very clean and lovely.We were able to see part of the museum and airplane's.It was very clean, warm and well maintained.I definitely find it interesting and I would definitely visit the museum Only.Great experience overall.

We attended a concert called "Candlelight: A Tribute to Taylor Swift at Wings Over the Rockies Air Museum". The venue was super unique. We had a chance to visit the museum before the concert. Great hangar showcasing various aircraft. The live musical performance was magical, the musicians were extremely talented. All the candles made it exceptional.

I went here on a Thursday and really did not have to wait due to purchasing the tickets through City Pass. Additionally, they gave me an additional 10% discount on all gift shop items with purchasing tickets through City Pass.The Museum rhas many different variations of planes and models that were cool to view. If you fully immerse yourself in the experience, it should take about 2 hours to complete.Overall, I would I highly recommend to everyone to visit as it was a great learning experience.Great Job! Wings Over the Rockies Air & Space Museum.

What an amazing performance! If you get the chance, absolutely go! My wife is a cellist and I’m a bassist and as musicians, we loved the talent every member of the quartet brought to the table. They all had their own features and their own moments they took the lead. It was all impeccable! Great intros and humor from the quartet members, the phenomenal acoustics of the airplane hangar, and the delicate ambiance of the candlelight made this an experience to remember. We loved it!

I’ve been coming here since I was a kid after moving up to Colorado from Atlanta Georgia I always liked coming here and seeing the old airplanes and other aircraft that they have here I noticed when I was here on the 23rd of September of this year that this place has changed significantly since I was here ten years ago and that it looks a lot better than when I first started coming here back in the early 2000s and what I mean by that statement is that back then I noticed that the building had a more run down look to it unlike now where it looks more modern but also that was back in the early 2000s the place had been abandoned by the U.S. Air Force a little over 10 years prior I also noticed that some things were missing like the astronaut hanging from the ceiling and the glider that looked like a giant bird I also noticed that the museum is only in one of the two hangars I don’t understand why they didn’t have it in both and build a rectangular building down the center of both buildings connecting them and having an even bigger museum but whatever it doesn’t matter the flight simulator was incredible other than the 12 dollars it cost to ride it the x wing was really cool to see back when I first started coming here I remember there was an older lady who was at the gift shop I don’t remember her name but i always remember her being very friendly with me and my mom And while on that subject the gift shop back then had much better stuff unlike when I went this past time where it looked like it was full of just regular generic stuff you would see at just about any gift shop the only thing that looked appealing to me was the die cast hot wings planes I even bought one of the die cast planes I ended up getting the space shuttle but I guess you don’t go to museums for the gift shops but for the exhibits other than that it was a good experience I bought a. Membership so I’m definitely planning on returning hopefully with my two younger brothers who have never been here before but I know they would enjoy it just as much as I do this place honestly made me remember how much I love aviation

My Dad is a big plane guy, so we drove to Denver to check out the Wings Over the Rockies display.They have a great assortment of planes. My dad thoroughly enjoyed it.Self-guided tour, so we could spend as much time as we wanted with each plane.Parking was easy.In the hangar next door is a wonderful lunch spot and an easy walk.

It was an incredible experience. I attended a private event. It was an excellent venue! All the staff was great. Everyone was engaging and knowledgeable. I saw display of items I had only seen in private collections before. I would make it a point to visit.

What a great exhibit. I'm only giving 4 stars because the mezzanine wasn't open so I could look down on the F-14. My first love. There were several planes we hadn't seen before and a good variety oof fighters, bombers, experimental. And it wasn't really crowded during the week so it was easy to take pictures. The staff was very informative. Easy parking.

Went on a Monday. Plenty of volunteers there for information but almost no visitors. We took our time and read through all the displays as well as were able to really look at the aircraft. Gift shop is small but well stocked and there are several flight simulators which require payment. Mostly contains military aircraft but has a good smathering of others. Some really interesting planes here. You can easily spend several hours here.

An amazing place with planes throughout the history of mankind's time in the air! Lots of historical information throughout the museum. Fantastic staff! Extremely well-kept facility! I recommend giving yourself at least 3 hours to view and explore everything. Worth the cost! Great little beer garden with lots of food options next door!

Great place for kids and adults alike. Spend about 2 hrs, abundant parking with brewery and restaurant right next door. Great location, must visit with a lot of airplanes to see with weapons. Friendly helpful staff.

Wings Over the Rockies Air & Space Museum offers an unforgettable journey through aviation history.From a wide array of aircraft and engines to vintage communication systems and boiler plates, jet engines the museum showcases the evolution of flight with unparalleled depth. Visitors can immerse themselves in the past with hands-on experiences like cockpit simulations, making it an engaging and educational destination for aviation enthusiasts of all ages.A must-visit for anyone with a passion for flight and innovation.Entry Fee was $20.

This place is a wonderful tribute to our air force throughout the years. Coming from a military family, I appreciate the history lessons. If you enjoy reading through the exhibits, give yourself extra time.My first visit was early 2000s. Since then they have closed the steps that allowed access to view the cockpits. The gift shop has more trinkets for kids than anything else. Very few gifts that have to do with the museum or the air force.

Wings Over the Rockies Event Center provided the perfect backdrop for our recent event, and we couldn't be happier with the experience! From start to finish, the staff went above and beyond to ensure that every detail was taken care of, making the planning process a breeze. The venue itself is absolutely stunning, with its unique aviation theme adding a memorable touch to our event. The spacious layout allowed for seamless flow and accommodated our guests comfortably. Additionally, the amenities provided, from audiovisual equipment to catering services, were top-notch and contributed to the success of our event. We received nothing but positive feedback from our attendees, who were impressed by the venue's ambiance and professionalism. I highly recommend Wings Over the Rockies Event Center to anyone looking for a unique and memorable venue for their next event. Thank you to the entire team for making our event truly unforgettable!

Went to a candlelight concert here and it was such a cool experience! The venue is unique and the performance was amazing as well! You can walk around and see the museum part before getting seated for the actual concert. Very cool!

Having previously been stationed at Lowry AFB in 1992, this area is special. The whole area has been re-envisioned so well, and this museum doesn't disappoint. Nice collection of aircraft, well presented like many other aviation museums. Be sure to check out the mezzanine. Easy to miss and much to learn about.

Lots of information here. The history of the grounds is quite interesting in itself.There is a nice play area for little kids to entertain themselves with one parent, so presumably, the other parent can go learn and read. But better to leave the kids at home, though, unless they really love aircraft and are patient.

We LOVED this place. It was very reasonably priced, easy to purchase online tickets, easy to find and we had a blast exploring. While it’s not a huge museum, there was a lot to look at and a few options for VR experience and a couple ride experiences. My son was 16 so this is great for kids of all ages IMO

This place is awesome. We’ve been to the Air & Space museums in DC and this place does them justice. Lots of places to see including many used in WWII. Lots of volunteers to ask questions. Our kids were even invited to get close up and learn more about the MIG 23 MLD that was used to train US pilots to engage other countries crafts.

Excellent place to go with the family. This museum has a ton of aircraft to include some iconic platforms that are super neat to get close to. I recommend bringing snacks and water if you have kids, the place is huge and no real snack bar. Make sure you park in the museum parking and not the Extra Space Storage parking lot.

Great place to visit. There was a lot to do and learn. My husband is an aviation enthusiast and my daughter is getting into it. It wasn't very busy and the staff was very knowledgeable. Besides the VR stuff I think learning more about the Berlin drops was one of my favorite parts. Definitely worth the stop and we will be visiting again.

So great for everyone! The early aircraft here help you appreciate all the modern advances. I really appreciate that. They describe the basics of a jet engine, and principles such as left in a way that was really easy to understand. I felt like I left a Museum with new knowledge and not just a fun experience… but I did have lots of fun, too. The admission price was well worth it. The staff is friendly and the bathrooms were clean. Easy parking.

There's nothing terrible about this place. There are a few cool things to see, like parts of space craft and several different style planes and radios over the span of time. However, I wouldn't think it was worth close to $100 for my family to spend less than an hour here. We did do our own thing and not a guided tour, so maybe it's that. There's a children's section for ages 1-9. However, it wasn't well equipped or well kept. They also have a handful of starwars replicas that are cool.

It’s a place to go when you are in Colorado.First and foremost, the wings at Wings Over Rockies left an indelible impression on my taste buds. The flavors were exquisite, and the perfect balance of seasoning made each bite a delightful revelation. I must commend your talented kitchen staff for their culinary expertise.Beyond the culinary delights, the atmosphere of your establishment is nothing short of remarkable. The attention to detail in the decor and layout creates an ambiance that is both inviting and comfortable. The knowledgeable and friendly staff further enhance the experience, providing excellent service that is second to none.Moreover, I was thoroughly impressed with the cleanliness and organization throughout the premises. From the entrance to the dining area, everything was immaculate, ensuring a pleasant environment that truly enhances the overall dining experience.Lastly, I would like to express my gratitude for the promptness and efficiency in arrangements. Despite the popularity of your establishment, the wait time was minimal, a testament to the excellent management skills of your team.All in all, Wings Over Rockies exceeded my expectations in every aspect. I highly recommend this extraordinary place to anyone seeking a memorable dining experience. Thank you for providing a haven for wing enthusiasts.

This was a calming, yet invigorating experience that kept me enchanted for the whole 60 minutes.If you enjoy Vivaldi's 4 Seasons at all, this unique candlelight concert in the Air & Space Museum does not disappoint!Be sure to arrive early enough to check out the museum. We were pleasantly surprised to see an X-wing fighter amidst the exhibits.TIPS:If sitting is a challenge, bring a cushion as the chairs are not comfortable.Be sure to arrive early, the concert starts at exactly 9:15, and the lights go out at that moment.

If you are visiting Denver Colorado this is a spot that you should visit, in the exhibition you will find many airplanes and helicopters that serve in different conflicts and we're honorably retired and brought here to tell the story of our country. The museum preserves the history of Lowry AFB's operations from 1938 to 1994 in its collections, archives, and research library.In 1994, theUnited States Air Forcetransferred Hangar 1 to a group of volunteers, who established Wings Over the Rockies Air and Space Museum. The Museum includes more than 182,000 square feet of hangar space and 50 aircraft dating from 1939 to 1990In 1997, the Colorado State Legislature passed House Bill 1269 that made Wings Over the Rockies Air and Space Museum Colorado's official air and space museum,

It's not as big as it used to be I guess but what they have in the one building is awesome. You can walk under a B-2 bonnet and get a picture with an F-14 Tomcat (my favorite plane of all time) and even an X-Wing from Star Wars. The flight simulator is worth it. My 12 year old daughter and I flew an F-18 out of Pearl Harbor and had a blast. Lots to see and do for people of all ages. Right now there is a special exhibit of Snoopy and the Red Baron. Very entertaining.

Not what you think. Very simple hanger of planes. Probably awesome for the plane and aerospace enthusiast but nothing else for others. My kids were excited at first but then it got boring really fast. The simulators had a 2 hour wait and cost extra and the ones that were on display were out of order. I do not recommend this place. We should have gone to the nature and science museum instead- more to see and do.

This place isn’t as big as Palm Springs or Pima, but the planes and helicopters on display are almost in flight condition, with all the cockpit avionics in place. My wife arrived on an open cockpit day, with the actual pilots of the planes talking about their experiences and answering questions.I’m only giving it 4 stars as the day we went has a drone competition running which felt like all the planes had been push back and squashed together to make space in the middle for it.The old control tower was also a disappointment as it was just an empty room, it felt light being in a studio apartment and the views we were sold of the mountains didn’t really exist.The B-1lancer was the star of the show and it’s nice there are two levels to view the planes from. The staff are really nice and the entire museum is indoors, so it’s a great place if the weather is bad. There is plenty of parking also. I just wish there was a bit more on display and the shops sold kits or models on the planes on display - which would have been a nice touch.

Great museum, it is gigantic! Set in an airplane hangar there are so many cool planes and aviation equipment to see and so much information on flight. It was really fascinating to see things like the rocket car that set the land speed record, a hydrogen bomb, an experimental space plane, and even a life sized x wing fighter from Star Wars. Sid highly recommended checking it out

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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,

We had a great time visiting the park & absolutely loved the nature center. The trails were well maintained, clean, and easy to navigate for my toddler. There are picnic areas with grills and lots of shaded seating. Beautiful wildlife was a major highlight for me. We saw red winged blackbirds a sweet fawn. We’ll definitely be coming back.

Our family enjoyed our visit to the Barr Lake state park. It is open from 5 am - 10 pm. We went around 12 pm and there was a considerable rush given the great weather that day in the month of February! Kids enjoyed the nature centre & activities there!There’s an archery range as well. Visitors may boat, fish, hike, bicycle, horseback ride,natural study, bird watch etc! There are picnic areas with tables and grills too. The full trail of the perimeter of the lake is 8.8 miles but there are shorter walks as well as easy trails.Overall, with 3 kids, aged 10, 7, 5, we enjoyed our day at the Barr Lake state park! Be sure to visit the nature center!

Beautiful park! Loved the information center. Excellent interactive exhibitions for kids. Cool bird viewing station. Next time we are in Denver, we want to go back and spend more time.

We wwere not aware of this beautiful state park, we visited the park one fine evening on my way back from work place. Oh man ! I am glad that i took the decision to visit and i do not regret. The park has picnic spot, boating and fishing facilities, the trails around the lake are so relaxing and beautiful. I would highly recommend. Your pets will not be allowed on the trail so be aware of it and you can do camping, picnic, cycling, fishing.

It’s a big State Park, lots of trails. I would bring a bike next time :). One of the longest boardwalk I’ve been (great place to watch and listen for different kinds of birds). Be sure to bring a telescope coz’ they are tiny from far away. It’s quiet place except for the planes.If want to be on the water make sure you head out to where the boats go. Can bring your paddle boat. Place to fish. They got nice sand by the water it almost look like a beach but no waves.Great place to watch the sunset. I suggest you bring bug spray or else you will get bitten by mosquitoes and other flying bugs.

We went this weekend in time to see the change of colors in the leaves. Due to the time of year, much of the lake was dried out but there were plenty of areas to walk or even run around. It was very peaceful and the area was very well kept with just a few people there in the late afternoon. We will definitely be back to walk the entire area and enjoy the beautiful scenery.

Great State Park where Bald Eagles hang out in the Spring. Visitors Center has a wonderful nature area for kids to explore. The Park has a nice walking track around Barr Lake. Park is located on the outskirts of Denver Metro Area.

This place is a jem!! It's a nice day adventure place! You can fish, hike, picnic, go on the tour, birdwatch, or just sit and enjoy nature.

It's an enjoyable place to spend your day. Lots of wildlife to enjoy, walking trails, clean bathrooms, signs to help you identify what you are seeing, beautiful vistas, other activities that I didn't take advantage of today. Picnic areas. Restricted pet areas, boating, etc

Easy parking. Electric vehicle charging.Nice nature center with clean bathrooms.Lots of people picnicking.Did the 9 mile loop. Very flat. Sometime bugs when walking on the dam.Some views at parts. But pretty boring and long.We saw deer, cows, horses, prairie dogs and birds.Lots of people going a mile or so and turning around.

Today was a perfect day at the lake! Sunny and warm day, only very windy! Someone couldn't keep up with a chappie water on their kayak...I witness the first water rescue of the season! Great job Park Rangers!!! Fast, efficient, successful!!!

Excellent. No idea why we’ve NEVER been here before!! It was 20 minutes from our door on 470! What?! Such a beautiful place! I grew up in the mountains and love walking in the trees and that’s sometimes a hard order to fill in the DM. But here you can walk in the trees AND be wowed by the incredible views of the Rockies. The nature center is awesome! We went to use the loo before we set out around the lake and ended up staying for about 30 minutes looking at the displays and especially matching names to the birds of prey to their faces. We live on the eastern edge of the bowl in SE Aurora and we have so many falcons and hawks that we don’t know the names of. So note we do! Very cool! And the Trak Chair Program?! I mean, WOW. Just blew our minds. My MIL had a stroke and was in a wheelchair for years. So many places were not accessible for her electric chair or just not accessible to a chair at all. She would have LOVED this program and this place!! I think this is amazing and would love to see it in action. What a wonderful, amazing, inclusive thing to implement. Wonderful job!!We can’t wait to go back and explore more!

Beautiful park!Even the nature center is great.We enjoyed our time for sure!I recommend getting the keep Colorado wild pass with your vehicle registration(if you’re local) so you can get in the park for free!

Entry fee to the park is $10. We thought that we could drive around the lake by car, but there is no road there. Beautiful nature in the park, but there were a lot of mosquitoes. The trails are not paved, we were with a small baby , we were not able to walk along the trails because it is not comfortable to walk there with a stroller.

I have been going to Barr Lake for around about 10 years now, even volunteering there momentarily. The park has many wonderful trails, allowing you to see tons of nature. They have many great events run by such a great community. I've done archery, taken countless pictures, and just love Barr Lake. If you are a local that has not gone, you need to. And if you are a visitor here in Brighton it is a wonderful place to take a break. Well worth a day pass. And for anyone who frequents the yearly is a great option as well. Thank you so much Barr Lake.

Beautiful walk and scenery. Part of this is a Wildlife sanctuary, so dogs can only go right after the bridge. Bald Eagles are nesting in the area! If you walk around the lake 1 time, it's the same as hiking a 14er, but on flat ground, pretty cool! Very clean and well kept.

This place is absolutely amazing. I have been the host here for three weeks and wow I love it here. There is so much to see and learn.

Very well kept up park. They were in the middle of some maintenance when we went. The lady at the Visitor Center was very helpful and kind. Most of the path around the lake allows dogs. There are signs showing where it is permitted.

OK place for a bike ride, about 9 miles around, a fairly level gravel path. Breaks my heart the irrigation company destroying wildlife habitat and shaded trail areas by taking out virtually every tree along shoreline for a long stretch.

Such a gem of a park! Went here after dropping folks off at the airport and I wanted a break from the traffic. Beautiful party and education center with a lake, dam and lake trail. When the weather is warm I'm sure it's busy with boaters and fishing. But since it was cold and mid March I just got to share my walk with the birds and squirrels. The nesting eagle pair was the real highlight. And something I haven't seen before: trail accessible wheelchairs that can be reserved. Not paved trails for city wheelchairs, but motorized off-road style for folks to access the dirt trail. Great park!

A nice place to spend some time. Great views, a serene lake, and a lot of peace, it was quiet and fairly empty.Lots of walking trails and grounds to explore. I got in for free with my state park pass but usually it’s 10 dollars to enter.

Overall, Barr Lake is a great spot for paddleboarding, offering beautiful scenery and a peaceful environment. It's a great place to go.bird watching

Barr Lake is a great state park for gentle hiking and bird watching. We spotted Hawks and even a bald eagle!It's so nice experiencing such a serene park without driving too far out of the city.

Though the pavilion isn't very large, it is thoughtfully designed, ensuring an enjoyable visit without feeling overwhelming. The on-site gift shop is charming and offers a range of cute, butterfly-themed souvenirs to remember your visit. Overall, it is a lovely spot for a family outing or a peaceful solo visit.

Loved going here enough to join and get a family membership. Definitely worth the price. Takes the pressure off trying to make the most of a trip and let you do things more leisurely pace for young children.On our last visit our grandchildren wanted to move pretty quickly through the spider and invertebrate sections to the butterfly area. We almost walked into a man standing in the walkway holding his hand out. A beautiful butterfly had landed on his hand and he was showing it to us.So much to learn there and a play area at the end with slides and other exhibits plus presentations makes this a sure to go to place.

I expected - and received a fabulous view of butterflies in a greenhouse setting. They were gorgeous! I did not expect the aquatic exhibit and it was a pleasant surprise. It was also fun to hold Rosie, the tarantula. We were a party of 6 ranging in ages from 10 to 77 and a good time was had by all.

Beautiful place! It was a fun time for the whole family to learn about bugs.We got to hold a tarantula while learning about the species. There was a whole room dedicated to different kinds of beetles and even an aquatics space.Best part by FAR was stepping into the butterfly room. So many kinds just flying around makes you feel like you're in a fairytale.It was worth the cost and time it took to get there driving from a different city.

The butterfly pavilion exceeded all our expectations!The pavilion itself was beautifully designed, with lush greenery and vibrant flowers that created the perfect atmosphere for the butterflies to thrive.We were greeted by a kaleidoscope of colors as the butterflies gracefully fluttered around us. This is a magical place that offers a peaceful escape from the outside world. I highly recommend visiting this gem of nature's beauty.

Butterfly Pavilion was a must stop in our Colorado trip. It was a relaxing way to start the day. We were there when they opened so there were no crowds. There were plenty of parking. The staff were very friendly. Kids will surely love the experience.I thought that I would only see butterflies, but they had more than that. They had other exhibits to enjoy as well. I saw some kids unafraid enjoying the tarantula, but it wasn't my cup of tea.It was just a relaxing experience. Just sit down, observe, and enjoy the beauty of nature around you. Butterflies, with its vibrant colors, fly all around you. Flowering plants and other tropical plants decorated the pavilion.

This was a really cool experience, but it's a little small for the admission fee. I don't mind supporting their mission, though. It was fun to see the various interesting insects (not just butterflies!), hold Rosie the tarantula, pet the horseshoe crabs, and even learn about shrimp and coral.Of course the butterfly pavilion portion was the highlight. We were able to wander around and observe in wonder all the beautiful, delicate creatures around us. It was quite serene. Sweet to see the kids too.

Great place to visit but a bit small for the admission fee ($15 per adult). We were happy to find that beyond butterflies there were also small exhibits of other insects as well as some sea creatures. That being said both exhibits were quite small and the butterflies were the star of the show. The butterfly area took up the majority of the floor space and it was great fun to see a wide variety of butterflies thriving despite still freezing weather outside. There were tons of families with small children and it seemed to be a great place to bring kids as there were several interactive exhibits as well as a sizeable play area. Overall I think the pavilion is worth a visit for anyone but especially those with small children.

My kids enjoyed this a lot. The customer service is outstanding!! They were so kind! They were able to help me with a mix up on a membership and went above and beyond. Highly recommend!!

Nice place to hangout for a while and check out the butterflies. Also have a terrestrial room with various large beetles, some spiders; and a room with some coral, shrimp and a few variety of crabs. Neat place

Lovely place! It feels magical to be in the butterfly exhibit. The sea-creature section has baby horseshoe crabs, which are downright adorable . There’s a place to pet (adult) horseshoe crabs, along with starfish and a few other creatures. It’s cool to see a whole institution specifically about invertebrates! 100% would come back. It would be great for a date or if you have a few hours to kill nearby.

This may be one of my new favorite places to go ❤️. Several different species of beetles, bugs, spiders and of course the butterflies. The pavilion itself was a sight to see, hundreds of butterflies flying across your path and hiding in the trees. The staff was super informative about all the different species.

The butterfly pavilion is such an amazing experience to enjoy for children as well as adults! The educational activities they offer as well as the amazing features such as the butterfly room. Would absolutely recommend!🦋

Came here for my one year wedding anniversary. Perfect for anyone who isn’t afraid of butterflies. They have a bunch of tarantula exhibits including “Rosie” and some other bugs. Cute atmosphere.

Enjoyed our visit on a Sunday at 2pm at 68 degrees (perfect temp) we were in the area after a United States baton twirling association competition and wanted to spend time at a good place. Hold Rosie the Tarantula see some other species a few tanks with fish.Not as big as I thought and not as many butterflies as I thought either but still a good place.I’ve heard the butterflies land on you but we seen one person that had a butterfly on her hand (the two big white butterflies) but they don’t land on you. She had a white shirt with flowers on it. FYIThere are a few benches to sit but people were sitting in them and didn’t move to let others sit.Gift shop prices are outrageousWe were there for 1.5 hours and that was good enough.First and only experience but that was good enough :)

Wonderful place to hang out. Awesome place to rest and enjoy the colorful flappers around you. Walk around for few minutes and be seated to enjoy them flying around you. You could be lucky if the butterflies sit on you.Got some other caged insects and few aquarium displays on the side. You can enjoy the tarantula crawling on you hand.Online reservation and ticketing is preferable compared to walk-in. We did not have issues with walk-in tickets either.

A beautiful spot to view beautiful invertebrates and hear some fascinating stories about them. There is a hatching area near the entrance and if you are patient enough you’ll see some emerge and spread their wings. My favorite is the yoga classes a on Saturday morning. There is nothing like stretching into a pose and having two beautiful butterflies dance over your head. Ellen, the teacher, is a delight, the class is for beginners to try and advanced to deepen their technique, and the laughter section at the end is just amazing! A cute gift store, fantastic staff and much parking.

🦋 The Butterflies of Course... They are Beautiful & Big - So Many Different Colors This place is Amazing! The Butterfly Garden is Therapeutic 🦋 There is much more than Butterflies offered here, there is a Wide Range of Tarantulas on Display & Rosie you can Actually hold and Touch. There are Crab and Starfish you can pet. There's So Much Excitement and Interesting things packed into this little building you won't be Disappointed. FYI Field Trips are usually happening during the week, so it's an excess of kids before 1pm.

Gorgeous place. Flowers are in full bloom. Butterflies were set free and it was beautiful. Many different butterflies. Love the insects too. Got a chance to hold Rosie the tarantula. That line was full of kids but it went by fast. Will definitely go again.

Weekends are usually very busy even first thing in the morning . If your able to go on a weekday I would definitely recommend it.The butterfly area is large with many pathways. The butterflies have feeders and live plants all throughout giving you a chance to see them even if there's a lot of people. There is also a butterfly release that you can watch the handlers bring in newly emerged butterflies. It is quite warm and humid so be prepared to loose a layer in there.The indoor playground is clean and easy to see your kids with a small area for babies and toddlers.

We spent Mother's Day at the Butterfly Pavillion. We had a lot of fun especially in the Butterfly room. I also got to hold Rosie the Tarantula. Our 2 year old loved the play room.

We were surrounded by butterflies. There is an enclosed walking area with feeders for close experiences. There are bug and fish exhibits on your way to the pavilion and those were fun. And a gift shop with cute bug themed items.

Easy place to navigate through. It includes a small aquarium where can touch starfish and crabs. The insect area you are able to hold the trantula. I think this place is suited for younger kids but all are welcomed. It didn’t take us long to view everything. I would recommend it is a fun activity for the kids.

My fiancée surprised me with 2 tickets. We were very excited to come and see all the cool creatures they have. The amount of butterflies is awesome you will see all kinds. I also bought her a framed monarch from the store. I highly recommend going here for some relaxation and great views.

The main attraction for sure is the butterfly room. But don’t miss out on the other exhibits! It was cool to hold a tarantula and see some other bugs. Also the urchins wearing hats? Adorable.Pretty affordable and lots of discount options (AAA member, Westminster resident, adventure pass, etc.). Would say an hour and a half to see it all if you’re taking the time to read and immerse yourself. It’s a small museum but unique and the staff are super friendly and knowledgeable.

It was pretty good most of the kids were well-behaved. There were a couple kids running in the butterfly area. And this one family who thought they were the only people there. Leaving their huge stroller wherever they wanted add pushing their way. That place is so small no stroller should be allowed at all.I really appreciate it the RV parking except regular cars were parked in the few spots that were available. I don't know if people are just stupid or if they're rude. Plenty of parking.

Super friendly employees... super fun. Specially Rosie and Goldie the tarantulas. We saw the Butterfly release which was pretty cool. The lady who did the release was very knowledgeable.

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 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.

A cool museum touch activities for children wonderful loft penthouse for little children. A lot of local history

A really well-done history museum with interesting displays and a clear narrative. And there are lots of old-school interactive elements that are great for kids. (I liked the one where you divert water to where it needs to go.)The "Duality" gallery curated by Gregg Deal is really amazing - contemporary works by indigenous artists. Definitely a must-see. Then for kids, there is a treehouse play area up in the tower that's a lot of fun and had great views.

I have performed twice in the theater of this museum and it's amazing! Beautiful place. All the piano players that had the chance to play the piano here are really lucky. Probably one of the best if not the best piano in the area.

A hidden gem that has thoughtfully curated cultural exhibits, a film series, as well as a great historic overview of the area. Also - an awesome kid area/ "treehouse" on the top floor with an incredible view of the front range mountains. Reasonably priced ($5 - 8/adults). Not to be missed. 👍Photos below from "Duality" - a contemporary Native America Arts exhibit (1/27/23).

Great place to take young children. The permanent exhibit does a very nice job explaining local history. The Ruckus Rodeo art exhibit by Fred Grooms, was a very nice surprise. We spent 20 minutes looking at the art exhibit, alone.

Nice museum with good exhibits! The lego exhibit on display now is interactive and great for all ages. The builds are unique and there's even a scavenger hunt!

The 2013 flood photo exhibit was really disappointing. The museum neglected to include any pictures of LPD in this exhibit. LPD put in many hours assisting not only the Longmont community, but the surrounding communities as well.

This is a neat small city museum. Half of the space is used for auditorium, classrooms and office. I found an interesting picture is their history section. Looks like Yoda was here before!!!

This is my 4th visit and maybe my favorite art exhibition—AgriCULTURE. It’s inventive and thoughtful. You are guaranteed to learn something every visit to this community resource.

What a really cool camp called Surviving in the West. Z learned how to make a fire (with bow drill, flint and matches), shelter, spear making, crawdaddy fishing, made a drum, made yarn out of Alpaca, made root beer, ice cream and butter. Also met new and old friends.Now I know he can survive in the wild or go on the show Survivor. 😂 #survival #camping

This thoroughly modern museum and cultural center provides an engaging multi-media look at life on the high plains, just 35 miles north of Denver. It covers all bases, from the Plains indigenous people, the agricultural boom of the 19th to mid- 20th centuries and the role of factories and railroad. The challenges faced by Hispanic/Latino residents and workers, WW1 and WW2 are acknowledged, along with local “low-riders.” A knowledgeable local staff and archives are on-site to assist. COVID safety was observed (as of Aug. 2021)

Great brewery with great staff. The beers were expensive, but the smoked lager was awesome. The guy air frying the French fries was also great. Definitely a cool place to check out.

Top notch brewery!Beers are fantastic, service is off the hook!Seriously a great place to enjoy a few drinks.We’ve enjoyed a selection of their brews from afar and became a bigger fan after paying them a visit.Great merch and a great selection to go!

Whether you are inside or outside in the huge garden area, the vibes at left hand are always good.This past Monday we had a awesome bartender who gave us all kinds of tidbits. We could tell he cared about the beer he was pouring and the stuff he drank!The juniper pale ale was spot on

From the Beer Garden to the main bar this place is impressive! The Beer Garden was charming— outdoor seating, corn hole, space to play, and good tunes. That bar had a combination of drafts (maybe 7 choices?), non alcoholic beverages, and gluten free options. The main bar was super cozy. They had 30+ drafts in there! I'd highly recommend this place!

Delicious Beer and awesome staff. They allow dogs which is amazing and they have a large lawn area that is not far from the main taproom. We come for the IPAs but always end up getting a delicious stout as well. Also the Irish guy behind the bar is super cute. I think his name might be Cody.

Great atmosphere with friendly and knowledgable staff. Their beer selection is decently sized and there’s something for everyone to enjoy! Stumbled across it and ended up staying for Wednesday night trivia. A great time!

This Brewery made unbelievable nice beer and the service was amazing and friendly. I have a good time with my family.

Left Hand Brewing is an outstanding brewery in Longmont CO. I have tried a few of their stouts that are distributed by me. When I found myself in Longmont I jumped at the chance to try out the brewery. As expected, they have more variety at the brewery and it always tastes a little better fresh off the line. On my stope they had: a pils, Juicy hazy IPA, a strong ESB, fruited sour, Belgian tripel, barrel aged Belgian Tripel, milk stout on CO2 and nitro, peanut butter milk stout on CO2 and nitro, Russian imperial stout, Russian double imperial stout, winter warmer nitro, wheat nitro, porter nitro, mango hibiscus Belgian white nitro, 2 different blondes on nitro, lager, IPA, lemon shandy, Double imperial milk stout, and double imperial peanut butter milk stout. They also carry a variety of kombucha, cider, tasty seltzers, cocktails, and NA options.Left Hand has great beer tenders. They are cheerful and happy to give recommendations. The brewery has several places to sit inside, outside, or belly up to the bar. They have a food truck dishing great eats. They also host several activities. I really enjoyed my experience and the beer here and stopped a couple times on my trip, you should put Left Hand on your list.

Great place, great selection of beers. These folks have around 10 types of stouts both on nitro and CO2. Definitely worth another visit.

May have a national handprint but the trip to where it all happens explains why it’s national. Amazing that after winning GABF 2022 that there’s seat at the tap, hospitality and a atmosphere that no one is resting on its laurels or hops. Favorite start with Dry Irish Stout.

My friend wanted to try a beer at this Brewery for a while and since we were layover 24 hours why not?Upon arrival, you had to wait for hostess to open the door as they're accepting only a certain capacity of customers at a time. The gentleman up front was extremely nice! We decided to sit outside as Colorado weather was perfect for outdoor seating.Menu's are through scan code so perfect. They offer a variety of beers on tap to pick from as well as can ones. I decided to go with a flight of beer which includes 4 samples. I picked Good Juju (if you love Ginger then this is your type of beer, loved it!), White Russian (if you're a fan White Russian cocktail then flavors are on point and it will be your perfect beer), Milk Stout (it felt like a triple double espresso; if you're a coffee lover then this beer it's just for you) and Raspberry Milk Stout (my second favorite - loved it!).We asked for food options and the waiter mentioned they had an agreement with two restaurants. Options were either Mexican or BBQ and off course we went with BBQ. Delivery time was extremely fast and their BBQ especially their Ribs and Briskett were to die for!Super knowledgeable employees, extremely clean establishment, free parking in the front lot of the brewing, and best of all upon check in through Yelp you get a free pint of beer of your choice with what's available on the tap options.Highly recommended!

Fantastic beers with a full board of limited releases at the taproot. They have several heated outdoor shelters for cold weather enjoyment. Awesome brewery!

We had a family visit to The Left Hand Brewing Company yesterday in Longmont, Colorado. What a great experience it turned out to be. We sampled several of the stouts as well as a few others. We bought a pack of White Russians to take home. Bartender was very welcoming and helpful in choosing some of the beers. A great treat to visit for all beer lovers. Nice little fire-pit outside too.

Great brewery. Lots of unique brews. Canned cocktails for non-beer drinkers. Indoor and outdoor seating. Outdoor patio has a fire pit. Outdoor beer garden hosts musical guests; some events are free. Nice gift store with Left Hand products and handmade art crafts.

Stopped there on a bike ride without a wallet, but with my phone on me. Unfortunately, they don't accept pay-by-phone-tap. So no beer today. @Lefthand team, maybe that would be a great upgrade for your taproom?

If you get the chance take the brewery tour... its fantastic. I've been on several brewery tours across the country. This is in the top 3. Especially if you are a microbrew nerd and like to talk beer. Everyone there is very knowledgeable about the process and the final product.The tasting room has a great atmosphere. Almost reminds me of "Cheers" where everyone knows your name even if you are from out of town. We checked in at the bar for the tour and we started chatting with the guy at the end of the bar.

Some of the stouts where good. The ones with an adjunct, such as the French Toast had a very "fake" taste. The other beers where subpar. The staff didn't seem to like their jobs. The bartenders where short with you and I ran into a grey haired individual that was rather rude, I'm assuming he works there. Overall not a good experience and don't see a need to go back.

Lefthand Brewery is an absolute gem! It's not just about their fantastic brews; the atmosphere is incredibly family-friendly and welcoming. They truly embrace and celebrate our diverse and vibrant community. It's the perfect spot to enjoy great beer while feeling at home with people from all walks of life. Highly recommended!

If you know anything about Colorado Beer then you should know about Left Hand. Their Nitro Milk Stout is a classic.I recommend visiting this taproom if you're into beer and wanna visit one of the Colorado OGs!Great options for indoor and outdoor seating!

Beers were...OK & decent, guess. I sat inside at the bar to get a tasting & it was very stuffy (no air flow) & extremely loud. Really wanted to love it, but sadly I did not.

We love it here! Between the tap house and Biergarten, left hand is always a good time! We’ve been a bunch of times and it never disappoints. Recently we popped in with our toddler to enjoy my husbands birthday and they were so awesome! The outside area at the tap house is great and lots of fun seating areas! All of their beers are delicious but I really enjoyed their Oktoberfest this visit!

The Beer Garden is a great place to hang out with friends in the summer, with outdoor seating and lots of room for the kids to run around and play

Took my 3 kids here to visit, as we have never been before. I have to say that this place is a MUST for anyone with the slightest interest or enjoyment of trains. We spent hours there. The level of detail and craftsmanship was excellent. The kids had a blast with the treasure hunt looking for specific items on the find card, which were well hidden throughout the layouts. All of the nostalgia and history is great. Kudos to everyone involved with the museum. You guys do a wonderful job.

This museum was so much fun!! They've done an excellent job with their train layouts and they have created a really fun hidden items search that's great for the whole family. We ran all over for an hour trying you find all the items on the list. Don't miss this museum. It really was excellent!

I was in awe when I walked through the door. I did watch a few YouTube videos of the place before visiting and I must say the videos doesn’t do it justice. You have to experience it in person to appreciate the quality and effects put into this place. This is a must visit if you are visiting the Denver area. It’s only a 59 minute scenic drive.

A must-see museum for anyone interested in model railroading. It is a huge layout with incredibly detailed scenery and realistic train operations. Allow a minimum of 2 hours - you will be amazed!

Excellent model train displays. Nice and friendly staff. Lots of cool information to read and learn about. Fun interactive displays. Cute micro chickens that move.

My wife and I visited on a whim and had a blast! So much detail in the models! When we went they were having a dinosaur scavenger hunt, hidden in the truly massive model were 15 toy dinosaurs. If you find five you won a small prize. The souvenirs are very reasonably priced and the 15 year anniversary HO gauge train car is a souvenir that not many people will have. Adult admission is only $7 per person and worth it. Because we were from so far away one of the volunteers gave us a behind-the-scenes tour, completely free. Congratulations Bob you should have your 5000 hours by the time I post this review. Take your family you will not be disappointed.

It's truly a wonderful museum. Greeley has a little gem tucked in downtown. I take out-of-town visitors every chance I get and see a new little detail I missed on previous visits. I am already looking forward to next time!

Loved this gem! Plenty of helpers to ask your questions. Wonderful replicas of life along the rail. Enjoyed the I spy game plus the Christmas village display. Kids will love it too!

Miniatures are quite nice and super detailed. Felt like I was in a I Spy book or Where's Waldo. There is also a scavenger hunt which is a blast! Do recommend.

WORLD CLASS! You MUST visit! Impressive tech treats you wouldn’t expect such as an animated mountainous forest wild fire. MANY animated sections of track. Prepare to spend a long slow amazing afternoon here. In addition to the track sculptures, chock full of history and memorabilia. Walk through the restored full-size caboose. Intricate track designs. One visit may not be enough.

So much incredible detail, very impressive! The staff were very kind and helpful. The dinosaur scavenger hunt kept my kids entertained for over an hour.

What a great experience! This is a very nice place, and an amazing example of a model railroad. Lots to do all over the museum for adults and kids. If you like model trains or want to treat someone who does this is a great place to go. Very highly recommended!

I have waited for too many years before visiting this wonderland. I could have spent all day there. Although it is 59 miles from my home, I will visit it again. It has one of the best layouts that I have ever seen. The quality of the diorama is top notch. Don’t wait any longer. Go, you will not be disappointed. Sorry I moved all my pictures to my laptop to enjoy them on a bigger screen.

An exciting place for all ages and anyone who likes trains. The staff here is always friendly and it’s a great day trip to take your kids to. Lots of things to look at, many great signs and RR related art. The facility is also located along the UP mainline and trains pass by regularly to see. No complaints, highly recommended.

The staff are very informative and helpful. Plan to be there for some time. You can get a preview of the trains on the Virtual Railfan youtube channel.

Mind blown, I’m not really into trains, but do have a fascination with the detail of dioramas, but this place is amazing. I’ve never seen anything like this. I’ve seen the model train set in Chicago and the scale version of Chicago, and this I would say this is better.Absolutely do not miss this place if you’re in the area. I spent an easy 3hrs there.

It was an incredible, one-of-a-kind experience! It's quite impressive to see the amount of work that went into construction of the model railroads.Make sure you plan to spend over 2 hours exploring the museum. The staff were very polite and helpful. I'd highly recommend this place.

This is such an amazing museum! On Fridays and Saturdays, it is common to have one or two dozen volunteers operating trains. They all have radios, and obey over 150 signals on the layout. It takes about one hour for a train to go around the massive setup.Check the museum's website as they have special themed events every few weeks. The place is expanding with outdoor exhibits coming soon.Kids and adults will enjoy the scavenger hunt to see details in the scenery. Train enthusiasts will enjoy the realism of the historic trains.I am a pilot, so I was fascinated with the Dispatcher and traffic controls required to operate so many trains at once.

Really nice exhibit. Well worth the trip.

Had a very good time checking out all these model trains! They’ve created whole world with lots to explore, stories and narratives of real towns and people who existed. The folks who work and volunteer there are passionate and love being engaged with. Definitely a good time for folks of all ages!

Amazing experience ! Felt live a kid again. Would definitely recommend

This is a model railroad setup. The trains are running around the tracks in a fully functional capacity. Very fun to watch them.

I'm a train guy.....and my expectations aren't high. I have been to plenty of model railroad exhibits, swap meets, and even some museums, none of which can't even come close to comparing to this piece of history circa 1970's in the northwest corridor and pushing a tad modern. These guys really know how to put on a really quality realistic show of extremely talented ho scale model train workmanship. This is definitely something every train lover should see. From wall to wall, it exhibits examples of different scale sizes to different manufacturers, to all kinds of railroadania. It also includes a train simulated style screen from a locomotive that is running a on the layout, that allows you to see first person viewing, and they have a real ctc system dispatched by a real dispatch opperater and it icludes a full sized real caboose you can climb up into and have a look around. This is a very big display not big enough to get lost in but definitely big enough to encompass such an amazing train display.You won't be disappointed at all. Go have a look for yourself and enjoy!!

CMRM is ALWAYS a joy to visit! I swear, I find something that I hadn't noticed every time I go. And seeing how excited children get seeing everything the museum has to offer brings so much joy!

Very cool museum! This layout is massive. There is so much detail, and what a fun experience! The wife really enjoyed it, too. We drove an hour to see this place, spent 3 hours there, and can't wait to return. Well worth the trip!

Much larger than I expected. A great quiet place to walk around. Cute little sculptures that are kid friendly. We found a little sandpit that my toddler enjoyed playing in.I'm sure I missed it but I didn't see the women's restroom, but I saw the men's.

This was a lovely sculpture garden with wonderful landscaping, as well as the gorgeous sculptures. My sister and I had a good time walking through and admiring both. We were sorry to have missed the early spring blooms that we cod tell must have been lovely.

Gorgeous, free, beautiful outdoor sculpture garden with benches to rest and gaze upon the art, clean, safe, easy-to-walk park. Go see the amazing work these artists created!

I enjoyed my brisk walk through the sculpture garden to find the frog sculpture I saw online. What a nice place to wander through in the evening before a show! I’m glad that I found this to visit during a summer evening in Loveland. I would love to walk through it again.

Every community needs this unique, inspiring and yet boldly authentic sculpture garden..... what an absolute joy to see artists share their anchored thoughts and invitations to dream and think deep.... highly recommended to families and sole wanderers alike....

So fun and unexpected! Our family took us here when we were visiting and we loved it! There are so many different types of sculptures: whimsical, historic, oddball, realistic, fun, curious, amusing, interactive. etc. We look forward to coming back when we have more time. 45 minutes was really not enough time to even see part of it.

I've been in Loveland for a few days and passed the sign several times and decided to check it out. I'm so glad I did. Over 10 acres of over 150 sculptures of various styles, subjects, and mediums, though most are bronze. I so enjoyed walking the trails and taking in this free art experience. Some are funny,others political, others historical and others whimsical. Many are placed in a specific setting relevant to the subject.Every once in a while, you come across a place that you don't want to leave, and this was one of those places for me. If I had a molecule of imagination and an ounce of talent,I'd try to be a sculptor. This is the next best thing. Thank you for making this available for all to see.

If you find yourself in Loveland, Colorado, make sure to stop by the Benson Sculpture Park, with an impressive collection of 154 sculptures. We were only able to see 30 of them so far, we look forward to our next visit.

Very cool park to walk around. Sculptures are great and the fall colors are gorgeous here. Great place for a picnic as well

What amazing sculptures! Around every corner there's something that you will enjoy!

Outstanding, only wish we had more time to enjoy the extensive collection. Will definitely come back next time we’re in the area.

Best place to view many sculptures. Good vibe for the city of Loveland.

What a gem! Cute winding paths, beautiful sculptures. There is even a nice Pavillion big enough for family picnicking.

Absolutely wonderful place to spend time wandering among a charming variety of sculptures. Pack a picnic to enjoy while there!

What an experience! This well taken care of sculpture garden is incredibly beautiful, with babbling brooks, interesting trees and beautiful birds adorning it! This is a great place to go with family, friends or a special someone! I'm going back as much as possible, with whoever will come with me 🫶🏼✨☺️

Amazing park. The trails and landscaping are nicely done. All of the art is beautiful in its own unique way.

Plan to spend 1-2 hours here. The art exceeded my expectations! There are many places to sit in the shade or have a snack or lunch at a picnic table. The kids sculpture garden has adorable photo ops. There is a Pavillion with water fountains. A wonderful place to stroll with your dog.

This place is HUGE! And there is a whole other section across the street! It's such a neat place to visit and just leisurely walk & chat with your friends and loved ones! They keep the place so well maintained!

Beautiful little spot for pictures. There's beautiful flowers, ponds, ducks, and of course the sculptures.My family strolled around and pictures of each other and enjoyed ourselves here. Parking was easy, and there was plenty of space.There was a pavilion where a little wedding was taking place while we were there.

Neat park with trails surrounded by beautiful works of art, loved my walk through the area and excited to come back!

SUPER COOL PLACE!!!! Selfie opportunity galore. The sculptures are all super unique and amazingly done. Definitely recommend going and checking it out if you're in the area!! I would say give yourself at least an hour (minimum) to walk around and see them all. There are sooo many! The park has a pond with lots of duck floating around which was cool. Public restrooms are also available. Super cool place!

Really nice trail. Great for hiking or biking. Used to be free parking but now it's $10 which it's probably worth but seems a bit high. This trail connects to Coyote Ridge, Indian Summer, and Blue Sky which eventually ends up near Horsetooth Reservoir so you can get as much riding or hiking as you want. Do watch out for rattlesnakes.

So you look here and see these rad rocks, but the trail doesn't go there. The rocks are in this rich neighborhood's backyard and the trail goes through the low points where you can't see them because they didn't want to build the trail through their landfill of construction trash. So disgusting what happened to this beautiful place. I encourage you to ignore the signs and go off trail to actually enjoy this place. The yucca plants will be just fine , trust me.

Great, leisurely hike. Great for families, mountain bikers or individuals looking for an easy hike. I'd recommend this to anyone in the area looking for some exercise, a good view or just something to do to kill time.

The trail was clean, and beautiful. I enjoyed a bit of the elevation, but not so intense. The sunset at the picnic area was breathtaking. In the afternoon, the rocks covered the trails makes it a bit cooler and some shade which helps with the temperature.

Devils Backbone is a good scenic trail and I would qualify it as easy. If you want to bring family you can do so. Also the trails allow dirt biking.If you do the extended hike which is 7 miles round trip there is some rock scrambling and a also very few people that far.I think it's $11 to park, overall beautiful trail.

Great hike to do, not very long, has great views and lots of grasshoppers!

Great trail for walking/easy easy hiking. Good if you dont have time to reach the mountains but still want some trail time. Great place for bikers as well. Cool viewpoints overlooking the foothills and some of the nearby peaks. Easy enough for kids and dogs. Longest point is 5.5 miles out so round trip would get you near 11 miles if you wanted the full deal. Key hole lookout/viewpoint is awesome.

Pretty audacious to charge $10 for a hike that used to be FREE for the past 35 plus years. Loveland must be very desperate of funding. Overcrowded and unkept. A $10 hike should be justified with improvements and beautiful scenery. For example Hanging Lake in Glenwood Springs Colorado is a $10 hike. This does not even touch that very disappointed. Not worth it!

Ominous rock formations jutting up from the plains gives this unique spot an amazing appeal. Short hike user friendly place.

Beautiful hike near Loveland! After a couple of days hiking on some snowy trails in Rocky Mountain National Park, Devil's Backbone Open Space trails were a nice change for some sun, desert flora, greenery, and rocky cliffs. Definitely recommend!

I did this hike alone with three kids. They had fun. I had fun. It's the perfect distance for my 3.5 year old. I didn't have to carry her. My older two asked to do it again sometime.

Loved the frozen lake and beautiful views all around from an early spring visit of Rocky mountains national park in April.Initially, we thought it could be very cold in April. However, I believe it was the best decision to visit in April before peak time. The park was not very crowded, and we enjoyed stopping at Sprague Lake, which was not on my list, but after visiting, I highly recommend.

Great place to watch a sunrise. Very tranquil, serene, and beautiful. No moose when I was there, but everyone talks about the moose so I guess be careful and don't do anything stupid if he/she is around

My absolute favorite lake in RMNP. You need a timed entry reservation to get here on Bear Lake Road. The trail is a 3/4 mile loop, very flat with gorgeous views of the Continental Divide. Plenty of benches on this nature trail and short walk from parking lot. Loved seeing the people fish in the lake.

Beautiful lake. Trail is well marked and not difficult. Didn't see the moose, but would have liked to.

A lovely little walk around the lake if you don’t want to commit to something long in super cold weather. Beautiful birds.

Sprague lake is conveniently located inside Estes park. Before you visit the most popular sites within Estrs park take a left turn and visit this beautiful lake. We went during winter, it was frozen had wonderful time taking a loop around the lake. Must visit and highly recommend

Sprague Lake is a beautiful mountain lake with an easy trail around it. This lake is snow free early this year. Other more popular lakes like Bear Lake still have snow on the trail around the lake making it difficult to try to walk around that lake. Relax at this great little lake for the next month to avoid the bigger crowds and residual snow. Occasionally there have been reports of a moose hanging out around the Sprague Lake so you could get lucky to see a moose.

Amazing 360 lake with fantastic views all around. A fabulous place to spend strolling, pick nicking and lunch. Best for Night Sky views as well. Just gorgeous

Wonderful spring stroll with beautiful views! Parking is close to the trail around Sprague Lake. Many areas to get great photos! Glad we did not skip this Lake as it has amazing views!

Beautiful ADA friendly hike with great views and good parking. We strolled the lake for about an hour. Also popular for fishing.

Sprague Lake is one of the most peaceful lakes in the park! When visiting this area, you’ll notice the large number of picnic areas and parking. As the trail is short, I would recommend it for all ages. The main attractions of this area for me would be the picnic areas, as the views are nice but not breathtaking. When visiting, we actually saw a wedding happening—one of the most beautiful places to have one at that! Overall, I would highly recommend this place as a good picnic area and walk.7/10

We enjoyed sprague lake a lot! You can park your car right by the lake or take a free park shuttle. Theres a trail that goes around the lake so you can enjoy the gorgeous views from all sides! Its a very nice option in rocky mountain np for thise who cant hike much and still wanna see the parks beautiful nature. Very accessible! Definitely worth the stop.

Visited the frozen lake. Got some wooden trail cleared out for walking.

I think RMNP should build a lodge here. There used to be one a long time ago, and other national parks have lodges. Just a beautiful lake with spectacular views.

Wow! What a phenomenal experience we had at Sprague Lake. We came at sunset and were able to see some beautiful creatures. Lake was stunning!

Sprague Lake is one of my favorite places to photograph elopements in RMNP! The dock makes for a beautiful venue with great views of the mountains and lake behind you, and while the trail around the lake can be busy, people are generally nice enough to stay off the little offshoot trail to the dock when they can see it's been reserved for a ceremony.The trail is flat and easy, about a 10 minute walk from the parking area, although it's usually snow-covered from November through mid-May. And this area is almost always windy! Bring layers any time of year.

It was a fun hike all the way. Mostly easy but some parts can be considered medium difficulty mainly due to snow. But overall, it was a very enjoyable experience. And the lake at the bottom really made me feel like it was all worth it. I don't know if there were multiple paths to hike from but the one we went to had a lake at the bottom too. It was great seeing both lakes and all the views along the way. Also there was a tap at the foot of the mountain that you can fill your bottles up with pure mountain spring water. When you're there, you MUST try that water, that's probably the best water I've tasted ever.Anyway, this is one of the great hikes that you should go at least once. I'd even recommend it to out-of-towners visiting Denver or Colorado.

Emerald lake is gorgeous. The hike there is amazing passing several beautiful lakes including dream lake. I also love the little waterfall right outside the lake.

Great hike! Can be tricky in the snow, so be prepared with spikes!

The trail is snowy and icy still so be careful. We saw lots of people slipping and sliding and even falling down. As always beautiful views.

The hike was not easy with snow, but doable if you are careful. Recommend micro spikes in the winter, the whole experience is worth it!! Must visit!

Pictures of views on the way to emerald lake as well. It’s about a 3.6 mile out and back trail of moderate difficulty. Took us about 3.5 hours with lots of photo sessions. There’s an elevation gain so at times you may be out of breath but definitely doable.

The hike upto emerald lake is medium level. But once you reach there the views are breathtaking. Take sufficient amount of water.

I was reluctant to go because I had too much fun the night before and my group was leaving at 6:30 am to drive to the park from Denver (hour-ish drive, also amazing scenery, especially the contrast in mountains and the neat little mountain towns). I’m glad I remembered to set my alarm and go to Rocky Mountain National Park, walk the trail and see Emerald Lake. The pictures don’t do it justice. It’s one of the most beautiful and breathtaking (literally because you’re 10,000 feet high in altitude) views you will ever see. The entire trail and other lakes leading up to it was fun and easy to navigate with more extraordinary views. Regardless if you are on 2 hours sleep and hungover, this lake will change your life. 10/10

Being surrounded by mountains all around was worth the walk/hike. I recommend to go see it along with the other lakes. Start off at bear lake entrance area

Emerald Lake is a stunning destination in Rocky Mountain National Park. The hike to the lake is scenic and rewarding, with beautiful views along the way. The lake itself is crystal clear, surrounded by impressive peaks. It's a peaceful spot perfect for taking in nature's beauty. Highly recommended for visitors.

This was our last trail we did during our hiking adventure in Rocky Mountains National Park in Colorado. We hiked in mid October and actually got to so see snow flurries! I gotta say to hike with temperatures in the 30s is not for everyone but we did and enjoyed it so much! In order to avoid crowds we got to the park at 8:00 am. Most people were arriving about 10:00 am because of the cold weather but it was perfect for us Floridians 😃Emerald Lake is more flat than other trails we hiked and smaller round that sits at the base of a bowl of peaks that wraps around on three sides. But nevertheless, it was just as beautiful and a perfect end to the three lake hike.We thoroughly enjoyed nature and had so much fun! 😃

This is an absolutely beautiful hike!! I went the first week of April and wore snowshoes. I wound definitely recommend microspikes at the very least. There were quite a few people struggling without spikes. It’s not worth an injury when you can pick up a pair of cheap spikes for $30 on Amazon.

Gorgeous hike that's upwards the mountain. The trail can be difficult when there's still a couple feet of snow on the ground. I would recommend bringing spikes / hiking poles or looking to hike when the trails are more clear.Bear Lake itself it very accessible. The hikes gets progressively more difficult as you reach Nymph and Emerald Lakes. This is a popular trail so you'll see lots of other hikers.

Pretty views, emerald lake is still frozen. Definitely bring spikes and poles. There are many spots that are icy and slick, and areas with steep drop offs.

Emerald Lake, so green and grand,Nestled by mountains, trees that stand,In the woods, a hidden treasure,Nature's beauty, brings us pleasure,Peace and magic, all around.

2.5 mile hike to emerald lake from bear lake station.We visited on May first week. It’s like 2-3 feet snow all over, but it’s open and hike-able. All the lakes fully covered with snow and you can literally walk on these lakes. People who wanted to experience hike on snow will surely love this. Refer attached photos and videos.Disclaimer: it’s really really slippery as the snow became ice. Plan to have snow chains on shows or snow shoes which are provisioned with spikes. I did it with Nike shoes without realizing it, and I really regretted my decision. But it was fun because I literally ice skated while coming down with the shoes.

Absolutely beautiful!! Well worth the hike.Would recommend starting the hike at 5 AM because as the sun rises it bathes the mountains in beautiful golden light.It does get quite chilly with the wind so pack a sweater.

beautiful views from every direction. it is a difficult hike so i recommend getting cramp-ons if you do it in the snow. it’s a few miles but certainly worth the work

The hike to this lake was beautiful, beyond anything you can even imagine. Highly recommend going through the whole hike and pushing yourself to make it to this lake. When we were here, it was over 100mph winds, so make sure to be prepared for that. Definitely worth it though.

Absolutely breathtaking spot. Well worth the hike out and back. I recommend getting there early and packing a lunch. Once you get all the way up there you're gonna wanna hang out for a while. The views were incredible second to none. The hike was great too. Not rough at all. Kinda long. The scenic views just get better and better so enjoy it.

Beautiful hike to emerald lake! About 1.8 miles from bear lake. You will pass through other lakes like nymph lake at 0.5 mile and dream lake at 1.1 mile. Slight elevation going there, not a very difficult hike. The path is covered with ice still which makes it slight difficult. We use spike which was really helpful for walking on the ice. You can rent or buy the spike downtown.

Totally worth it!! It's a 1.8mile one way hike to Emerald lake. Lake was frozen. On the way you ll see bear lake,dream lake,nymph lake. Please use spike shoe or trekking boots. snow boots wasn't necessary. Layering is essential. Please take your time and hike.. At least you need 2.5 hrs plus to complete the round hike . Plus to enjoy the views

Great Place. Lake was frozen(in mid may). Hike was moderate and took around 1.5-2hrs from bear lake(due to snow).

Nice beer brewing I don’t like beer but I advice to visit this place. We picked to go to the winery since most of the family drinks wine.The winery is not that big. You have lots of choices of wine. The food is not complementary you have to pay extra for cheese and small bites of food.The wine comes in cans and bottles made in iron.The service was polite.They have a nice car park

Short Description: Great beer, good variety, super friendly beer tenders, nicely designed inside and outside, dog friendly... can't wait to go again!Long Description: When you arrive, you will notice the building has a stunning mix of elegant and industrial textures with a stacked stone turret on one side and exposed vertical tanks on the other.After you park in the ample parking lot or get out of your Uber ride (highly recommended), you be greeted by welcoming friendly faces who are very helpful as you browse their awesome selection of beer. We recommend doing a flight so you can sort of speed date through the options to see which beer steals your heart.I can't rave enough about how amazing each beer was! I personally LOVED their seasonal experimental IPA for 2022 called Wolf Picker. It was hop forward in the most elegant way. It was not too bitter and in your face. The fresh hop aroma was just heaven for my nose! My wife likes sours so she loved the Sippin' Pretty, Friek, and Sippin' Tropical Sour. Lastly, their flagship ale, 90 Shilling was just fantastic! It was an easy drinking beer with beautiful subtle flavors and not too bold in any way. 90 Shilling is just a lovely ale.The inside seating areas where beautifully designed and very cozy. We opted to sit outside on the lovely patios because the sun was out. We quickly noticed that even though it was still super cold outside, it didn't stop the massive amount of customers from hanging out outside as well enjoying the scenery and the amazing beer!Every other group of people had a dog or two on the patio. I love the dog friendly policy of dogs being welcomed outside but not in the main inside seating areas. I feel that is the most hygienic and fair. That being said, I enjoyed meeting the friendly people outside and petting their super friendly puppies and dogs.Overall, it was the most fun and best beer I had during my stay in Fort Collins. If we find ourselves back in Fort Collins, Odell Brewing will be on the top of our list to revisit!

This place was crazy busy on a Saturday afternoon. We ended up going over to their wine garden as there was zero room in their beer garden. Everything we tried was on point.

We usually stick to small local breweries, but decided to visit an OG Colorado brewery while passing through Ft. Collins on a recent trip. We don't get Odell beers in NC. The outdoor seating area is really nice. I had the IPA flight and thoroughly enjoyed each one. Well worth a visit if you are in the area.

Had an amazing experience at Odell Brewing with Joe as our tour guide. Popped in on a Sunday and enjoyed a beer on the patio prior to our scheduled tour. Their patio is gorgeous, full of fire pits for those crisp spring days and buzzing with family and dogs. We were so lucky to have Joe hosting our tour on a quieter Sunday. He was gracious with his time, patient with our endless questions and extremely knowledgeable and passionate about his work. We learned so much and highly recommend taking the time for a tour. Even luckier if its with Joe! Delicious craft beer and loved learning more about the process. Beautiful setting!

The atmosphere here is very fun and welcoming. There is indoor and outdoor seating. The staff is really nice and helpful. The beer is great! Flights are $10 or $15 depending on your choice, and beers range from $6-$10, but $5 Monday afternoons. We had a great time here and can’t wait to go back!

WOW WOW WOW:I rate 5 stars with sincerity and no exaggeration, especially on account of the QUALITY of products available, exceptional customer service from every staff member I have met here ( on both the brewery side and the winery side) Did you know!?! Odell has a winery now AND you can have wine and/or beer OUTSIDE on both patios!? Talk about #inclusion - gosh I just love the innovation at this place, from the beverages to the furniture! Just had to leave some love for my fave brewery in Fort Collins. Side note: they even have lawn games- I love their custom made corn-hole boards and the hilarious but relevant signage everywhere- definitely worth the read, don’t miss out!!!

Great vibes and awesome people. Odell supported Vindeket’s nonprofit event for the fight against food waste. The brewery has large open spaces, perfect corners for private convos, friendly staff, clean bathrooms, and a stage outside for live music.

Beautiful patio. Dogs allowed on patio only (they are allowed inside only while you order).Fantastic beer and there has always been a food truck when we visited too.

A completely changed brewery in the past few years. Service is very poor. On a warm day expect to wait outside the doors 10 minutes to get to the bar. I asked for a 6 pack of Good Behavior. $11.99. This is $10.99 in town. I asked for one .... $5 !!!. This would make for a $30 six pack. Brewery gone wild!

Great atmosphere inside and out! Good selection of beers and drinks. Parking can get a little tight on a nice summer's weekend, yet the shady, relaxed, outdoor seating area makes up for it!

Odell Brewing has some awesome beers. However if you are a part of the Ft Collins biking community, there is a lot to be desired for their million dollar property. For a small amount of money, they could put some bike racks close to the area where you could watch your bike in the rack. Most all of the micro breweries have racks that you can keep a eye on your bike. If you own a bike worth several thousand dollars, it is worth this advantage. They have racks on the west side of the property and most of the seating is on the west end out of site of the racks. Come on, put some racks further east. Maybe between the brewery and the wine building.

This was the most fun! I can highly recommend the tour here. It was more intimate and local feeling than the other tour I went on, so it was fun to contrast them. Our tour guide was so knowledgeable and kind. Lots of people hanging out outside as well. Left with a souvenir glass of Sippin’ Pretty. The best beers and sours!

Enjoyed a beer here. Their outdoor space is beautiful and spacious. There are also two food trucks outside.

Was in town when we stopped by and I absolutely loved this place!The flights are awesome for getting to taste multiple brews for a low price. The Lagerado was my fav and I even took a photo on my film camera :)

This is the best brewery patio in FoCo. Great beers and a daily food truck. Awesome place to bring out of town visitors, or just chill out yourself.

If you visit here, you'll see many people thoroughly enjoying themselves. The ambiance is enhanced by the good music of a fantastic band, and then the space becomes absolutely picturesque. People can relax, soak in the atmosphere, and savor delicious beer. If the weather is good, you won't envy anywhere else. I had a wonderful time here. Thank you :)

I honestly like this brewery for the outdoor seating as well as the speed of service over new Belgium brewery which I’ve also reviewed. It was without question the fastest beer serving I’ve ever seen. And the staff was absolutely fantastic. The outdoor seating is, in a word, lovely. Ample shade beautiful trees and a beautiful view. I only saw one food truck here so I am on aware if there is more food options. There seems to be plenty of parking on the side of the building as well as a gravel lot which could hold several hundred cars.When I do come back to Fort Collins I will definitely come here and spend much more time.

I recently visited Odell Brewery and took their tour with Sam, and it was fantastic. Sam's enthusiasm and deep knowledge of brewing made the tour engaging and informative. The brewery itself is impressive, and the beer samples we enjoyed were top-notch. Sam’s personal anecdotes and detailed explanations added a special touch to the experience. If you’re a beer lover, don’t miss this tour—it’s a great way to explore Odell’s craft and learn from the best.

Good beer, awesome space, and tons of drink and food options make Odell an easy recommendation. The brewery is massive with many areas to grab a seat. Beers were of course solid, with Odell's mainstays on tap plus wine options available. The food truck options were nice to see as well. Fun time!

For a taste of Fort Collins' finest, head to Odell Brewing Company. As both a patron and advocate, I've enjoyed their brews and recommended them to guests of Comfort Inn Fort Collins North. It's more than just a brewery; it's a cornerstone of our local culture that deserves all the support we can give.

Excellent brewery in Fort Collins!Cool building, interior layout, outdoor space with a fireplace, and the selection of beers was impressive.I chose the Cutthroat Porter, I typically go with a heavy beer. Would have been nice to also see a brown ale on the list, maybe another time. The porter was smooth and mellow. If it wasn't lunch I may have had another. I was interested in the Easy Tiger - Ginger Pale Ale and the 90 Schilling - Flagship Ale.The reason we decided to go for a visit was the Momos food truck was there and did not disappoint! Great combo of beer and momo.This brewery is popular for good reason and I love that they bring the food trucks in for customers. I will be back, especially for the beer and Momos!

Really good, well thought out space between a winery and a brewery, very friendly atmosphere and kid friendly!

The New Belgium Brewing company is an amazing gem in Fort Collins.We took the production tour, and it was incredible. The passion for their craft really shines. If you are anywhere near, this is a worthwhile stop.The tasting room and outdoor seating area as well are a cure stop in itself to pick up some great beer.Just remember to drink water, especially if it is hot.

Absolutely fantastic customer service! Great people and great beer! They love talking about beer so if you have questions just ask. You’ll learn something and genuinely have a brewery experience unlike others. Take the tour, if you don’t want to walk sit and enjoy a flight and take a tour of the flight. Be positive, have fun, and the staff will guide you through!

We visited New Belgium in Fort Collins for the first time this past December and had an absolute blast! Our small group of four received a very personal tour from Caitlin and she provided a topnotch experience. I've been on probably 8-10 brewery tours in various states but this one was the best, by far, and a lot of that is attributable to our tour guide, Caitlin. She took us all around the brewery and let us sample each of the different beers on tap. We even got a chance to pour our own samples! In addition to providing all of the details and information on how the beers are produced, Caitlin was great about fielding our questions while walking us through each part of the brewery. We even had a chance to check out the barrel room, which was really cool. If you find yourself in Fort Collins and you have time to check out New Belgium, be sure to take the tour!

Wow- where to start!New Belgium is an experience to behold by all! PROMISE!!Great outside area to enjoy drinks, friends, family, food and maybe even meet new people.There are games to play, kid friendly areas!The drink options are plentiful.There’s a food truck every day and it’s not always the same - you can check website beforehand.Bathrooms are clean, plenty of seating. Handicap accessible.

I've often enjoyed beers from New Belgium Brewing Company and always found them delightful. Fortunately, during my trip to Fort Collins, I had the chance to visit their brewing house. From the stunning architecture and scenic squares to the people reveling in the moment amidst breathtaking natural surroundings — it was an enchanting experience. This visit truly transformed my perspective on drinking beer. It was both pleasurable and uplifting. Thank you for such a memorable time :)

New Belgium puts on a superb tour. The grounds were interesting, with bikes and history filled the hallways and grounds. New Belgium provided generous tastings throughout the tour, and our tour leader was enthusiastic and knowledgeable. After the tour, we enjoyed the beautiful grounds while we grabbed lunch at one of the two food carts. This was my second tour at New Belgium. Our group will definitely be coming back.

Happy to say after almost a year New Belgium inside is open again. Very large property for a brewery with a full bar selection and gift selection inside.Outside they have a food truck and a very large patio slave that can get really busy during the summer. At night they have outdoor fireplaces.Overall just a great place to chill outside with a beer and friends.

Visiting FOCO for the weekend and had friends take us out for beer at some breweries and the second one today was New Belgium. The place was absolutely packed on a Friday mid-afternoon. Don't these people work? We ended up sitting outside. I went with a sour, Dominga Paloma, and it didn't disappoint. We would need to come back on a weekday as we were told it is usually not as busy.

This is a fine brewery. Not fine as in average fine as in fine like fine wine. They have a wonderfully large field that is great for field games or little ones to run around.The staff is extremely friendly and go out of their way to make you feel welcome and cared for.There is a great selection of beers including the new Belgium bangers like fat tire and the 9 million iterations of voodoo ranger IPA but also a lot of exclusive and small batch beers that are not easily found.They also have sparkling water on tap and not just normal sparkling water but flavored sparkling water that is purple and beautiful.So if you’re looking for a fine time, with some fine brews, with fine company; come to this fine brewery. (Again all these fines are like fine wine not average fine)

This place has such a fun brewery tour - 90 minutes around $10 a person (book in advance). Beyond the tour, they have great beers to try, there was a food truck in the area to get some dinner and enjoy the outdoor space and listen to some music! Worth the visit!

Today's adventure was taking in a 90 minute tour of the New Belgium Brewery in Fort Collins. Beautiful classy brewery and fun employees! Best patio we've seen!

Excellent tour. Ross our guide was outstanding. Great history of the brewery, current production and like 32 ounces of beer along the way. And don’t miss doing the slide at the end.

We booked two private tours with them for our wedding guests the day after the wedding, and it was the most AMAZING experience! We love New Belgium! Everyone was so impressed, and our tour guides were so kind, personable, and informative! Our wedding guests said it was the best tour they’ve ever been on. Our tour started at noon, and we ended up staying until 6 PM and just hanging out on their amazing patio.😊 It was the best end to our wedding weekend!

We loved the large family-friendly outdoor area, food trucks and drinks! Great place to spend the afternoon! Would definitely recommend if you’re in town 🍻

Don't let the logo turn you away. This is an imperial IPA. Very smooth and thirst quenching. Knocked several back and was having a good time real fast. Lol. I say check it out at your local store if they have them. If they don't change your store or request that they start selling Voodoo beer.

Went on a 90 minute brewery tour and had a great time. Small group of about 10 people. The tour guide was energetic and friendly! She explained the history of the company and described all the steps in the beer making process. We also tasted about 4 different beers along the way. I would certainly recommend it. The tour costs $10 and you can buy tickets online in advance.

I just stopped for an hour on my way into town — perfect way to get a sense of Fort Collins from the get-go! All the outdoor seating was great and the weather was perfect, so the mood of the crowd was super happy, aided by great beers. I loved my pint of Voodoo Ranger Juicy Hazy IPA.On a second visit, a Sunday afternoon with perfect weather, it looked as if the whole town had converged on the place! Every table was occupied, so we took our beers and sat on the edge of the stage, a perfect place to watch the Dads Mini-golf Open, which was a kick! Funny to watch the “gallery” moving from hole to hole and getting quiet for a shot! Like the other big brewery in town, this is a real, lively, thriving community center for Fort Collins.

Good beer and good selection (not much dark beer, but the 1554 was great). Friendly and knowledgeable staff. They offer a free and a paid tour. The free tour is fun, informative, and has free beer samples. Overall the atmosphere is casual and fun with games, dogs, and all ages.

Had a blast on the tour! Three samples and you get to ride a slide at the end. It was interesting hearing about the company and how they make their beer. We were on the tour with some people who went every time someone was in town. I thought that was so cool and I could see why they would do that.

Beer is good. Music (British punk rock) is for slam dancing, not drinking beer. It’s enough to make a serious musician turn over in their grave.

Got the opportunity to take a tour and it was amazing! I believe our tour guide’s name was Ramone - thank you for the great information, the laughs, and the beer samples! Loved getting to learn about the company’s sustainability efforts and how the beer is made. Would love to visit again.

One of the best breweries in Colorado. The staff is super cool and friendly. We enjoyed a fun tour of the brewery with Everton. It was great learning the New Belgium history while trying some great new beers. This place was designed very well and has a great space for you to enjoy the well crafted beer. Your team has created a great time for anyone who visits. One word to describe - WOW. Thanks again

My favorite brewery. Family atmosphere ♥️ with lots of variety of adult beverages and entertainment. Dog friendly to boot. Outdoor seating and lawn areas are kept clean, and bar staff has a welcoming vibe. They keep some of the best Taco trucks around. I really appreciate their updates on social media and the information they post.Stay Great New Belgium! Btw Voodoo Ranger is my favorite, so many amazing flavors!

I have always enjoyed this brewery. New Belgian brewery company has an awesome campus! I enjoy their beers, especially their 1554. It was excellent to have it fresh from the brewer! Being able to take my dog also made it fun. There were tons of dogs here! Absolutely aligns the Fort Collins dog vibe.Definitely a great spot to check out and enjoy a beer. They also had a food truck here while I was there.Enjoy!

As my birthday present my son got us a rafting trip with #WanderlustAdventures. Derek was our guide and he did a great job keeping us safe and entertained. Mitchell did a good job driving even during a brief rain shower. Then he took great photos and videos all along our trip. Thank you Derek and Mitchell and Wanderlust Adventures for a great time. We did indeed have a Blast!

Riley, aka “Super Scrappy” was the best rafting guide I’ve ever had. I was nervous taking my daughter who shies away from physical situations. Riley made the experience fun, safe and boosted my daughter’s confidence. Riley has the perfect balance of calm to handle whatever emergencies the river deals out, and the energy and quick thinking to respond. While the risk is part of the fun, hands down I’d want a guide like Riley whenever I take a first timer. She made the trip so much fun! Thank you!

Had an awesome time with this rafting trip! Tour guides were fun and upbeat. You could tell our safety was a priority for them. They had people all along the route watching the river and making sure that everyone was accounted for. Loved the vibe and the banter between the guides. They really seemed to love what they’re doing. Our tour guide, Taylor, had a lot of energy and enthusiasm. She was very knowledgeable and willing to answer any and all questions about rafting and the area. She gave good direction and was good humored about our joking and playing around. Really appreciated her role in the overall experience. Great company, great crew! Couldn’t be happier with this trip and will definitely be doing this again!

I was surprised with a rafting trip for my birthday and it was so amazing! We did the Blast trip which is class 4 rapids but there was an option for only class 3 for beginners or people wanting a less extreme trip. We have been rafting before in North Carolina and Colombia and this was by far the BEST!!! Our guide Nate was so great at helping us navigate and getting us to working as a team. My husband and I were paired with another group and by the end of the trip we felt like one big family! I will always recommend this company of any others on the Poudre!

This was our first time rafting. I didn’t know what to expect and was a little nervous taking three teen girls and myself. It was such a great experience from beginning to end! The staff were friendly when I called with questions. The guides were fun, adventurous, and safe at the same time! We loved it so much we can’t wait for the next chance to white water raft! Will definitely book another trip with Wanderlust next time we are in the area!

Colin was an excellent guide who cared a lot about his passengers. He not only was an excellent at steering our raft but he knew information about the surrounding area of the Poudre River. He made it a fun and exciting experience. We highly recommend Wanderlust Adventure.

Overall great trip on "blast", highly recommend going. Our raft flipped twice so keep in mind this is not a theme park and there are no safety buttons to stop the ride. Pay attention to guides, be prepared to paddle, and it's like motorcycle rules, "dress for the fall not the ride". Get a good pair of shoes that will stay on your feet and cover your toes, they are better for rocks and everyone with open toes had the same complaints of " ow we flipped and hit rocks and ow my toes hurt from sticking them under the seat to hold myself in". Also, long sleeves/pants provide sun protection but they also hold cold water against your skin longer, take your pick.Great job from the raft guides on all the rescues today, that rope throwing could use some practice though 😅.Our raft guide was Dakota and he was awesome!

First time white water rafting and these guys made it very enjoyable! Great group of guides. Recommend Murphy, he took care of our novice group and we all had a good time. Mator would have enjoyed to go, but he's happy with his t-shirt.

The river was great, the scenery was amazing and water was cold, as promised. We had a last minute change in our schedule and they accomadated us with one days notice, which saved our bacon. Colin was a good guide and the whole group had a family feel to it. They did a great job with our group. My only complaint would be that the pictures were not included in the package. We had a couple of miscues with the river, which they handled well.

We loved our time with Wanderlust Adventures! Our charismatic trip leader was Colin, who was very helpful, extremely capable and fun. We did the Taste of Whitewater and a patron fell from the raft on the first leg of the trip. Colin was very attentive to the man and was able to assess his injury and provide help quickly.Our river guide was George who was so fun, easy going and a very pleasant guy to be around. His laid-back style really gave us a wonderful impression of the local river folk. He provided a lot of insightful information about the river and its history, plus also recommended some restaurants and bars in the area. He also made it look very easy to navigate the river, despite our feeble rowing techniques.We loved our photo package and will treasure those pictures forever. The package also included a couple of really great videos of our experience and was worth the cost.Our only complaint is that it was over too soon! We would love to return someday for the Blast of Whitewater trip.

We recently visited Colorado on vacation and booked with A Wanderlust rafting, it was our first time .Let me just say when we arrived to check in every person we came in contact with was welcoming and had a very upbeat positive vibe, it got us excited for the trip. From the information session they give to the bus ride over to the lake we had a blast, they kept the energy going. When we finally got paired up with a guide let me just say we got a true gem , her name was Laura and she was very informative about all the instructions and information to keep us safe on the river , made sure we understood before we took off. We absolutely loved her she was such a genuine person, she chatted with us, made the rafting fun for us , even though it was a lot of work for her because it took us a while to get it together lol she kept the energy up and if we could give her 10 stars we definitely would. We will definitely be back to raft again with this establishment and we recommend this place 100% , Also a big shoutout to the photographer because it looks like a lot of work being responsible for taking the photos and she captured some of the best photos of us on the river. Awesome job!!! So to our guide Laura thank you for making our first rafting trip in Colorado one to remember, you rock and we will definitely always remember you!!!! Until next year 😉

What an amazing experience! My son and I did the beginner/intermediate trip for our first time. Austin was our guide and he was hilarious! Every point of this experience was fun, exciting, and well with it. I highly recommend these guys!

Absolutely amazing from start to finish. Our guide George was fun and friendly. Time on the water wasn't long enough; we could have done it again right away.**Update, we can back 2 days later and did the Blast Rapids. It did not disappoint. Taylor was our guide and was fantastic. Cannot recommend this company enough. They are only 1/5 that are allowed to raft down this scenic river.

We had a 3 generation family group of 15 ...2 grandparents, 3 siblings and spouses and 7 grandchildren aged 7-17. The folks at Wanderlust guided us through the process of splitting the crew up but still managed to keep us in 2 boats. Paula and Krista were our guides and they were fantastic! Instructional videos were provided and the experience was educational as well as enjoyable! Great tour!

We had the BEST time with our friends while visiting. This was the most professional, kind and wonderful group of people! We felt like our safety was a top priority and the amount of pictures and videos taken was an awesome bonus! Definitely recommend to anyone looking for a fun and safe experience with breathtaking views!

We took a large youth group here and had an amazing time. The staff was great to work with for our group and really helped everyone get comfortable. They were efficient in getting us ready and on our way. Shout out to my guide Ryan! He explained everything really well, added some local history and knowledge, and even rocked a new hair style provided by some of our girls!

We had Tasting rafting on July 4th. The entire experience was great! The river was beautiful and the guide was professional. Our boat had a girl fall into river and got picked up by another boat quickly. The photo/video package is great too! We had a great time!

What a great experience! Taylor was amazing, and the river was exciting. This is my second time using Wanderlust, and it did not disappoint. I highly recommend!

We had an amazing time! This was our first time rafting as a family and our guide Murph was awesome as he navigated us through the “the blast of white water” stretch. The reservations were super easy, the instructions from the staff was excellent, safety was always in the forefront, and all the guides made us feel welcome and were very informative of the river and surrounding area. I would highly recommend Wanderlust if you’re thinking of taking a white water rafting trip. Thanks again Murph and the staff at Wanderlust for showing us a great time!

We had a wonderful time rafting with Wanderlust Adventure. Our guide, Jack, did a fantastic job of navigating our raft between the rock and making sure everyone had a great time. We had an adventurous day without flipping our raft, which was our goal!

Blast of Whitewater was fantastic! Really gorgeous & so much fun! Personnel were top notch across the board. Everything very well organized. Our raft guide Taylor was spectacular, very knowledgeable, fun, & had everything under control. A highly recommended experience by our whole family. Great job!

Wanderlust is the best! Lucas and Dan were exceptional guides and made for a really fun and safe activity for our team. I highly recommend a rafting trip with Wanderlust for your staff - spirits are high at work this week because of the experience that we had!

We were staying in Boulder and drove to Laporte to whitewater with Wanderlust. The drive had beautiful views and the portion on the Poudre we tagged was great too! The rafting required a lot of river negotiating and a few great drops and rapids. The guides all had unique personalities and were fun to be with and you MUST eat at Vern’s, just upstairs from the Wanderlust office, after your trip!

Super fun softball team activity!! We had three rafts and each of our guides (Tommy, Lucas, and Josh) were great and helped us navigate the beginner trip. We will be back next year!

Fantastic experience! We had a mixed age group with kids (9 & 7), parents, and a grandparent and the trip was just perfect. The right amount of “thrills” for the kids and an overall enjoyable experience for the adults. Andy was our guide and she was top notch. I appreciated how clear she was with her directions and talking to the kids who had never been rafting before. They loved it and asked to go again! Highly recommend Wanderlust and we will definitely be back.

This place is amazing!!! The train ride tour was absolutely awesome!! Our conductor Conner was great and fun! We got to feed, pet, and kiss some bison. The crew at the gift shop were sweet and nice. The staff at the restaurant were great too. Overall we had a great time and for sure will be back!

We stayed for one night in the RV park. The sites could use some TLC. The train ride to feed the bison was such a neat experience. The train conductor was great and kept my kids laughing. I believe his name was Jonathan. The restaurant was fantastic. Service and bison steak was great. Highly recommend for a unique camping experience.

Called and reserved with a really sweet lady on the phone and confirmed that we could use our Passport America discount. At first she said she didn’t think we could because of Frontier days. I asked if she could check for me so I waited and she came back and said actually you can it’s not in the blackout date today which is Sunday. I even asked again that they would honor the price of 28.00 and she said yes. Again she was very sweet and we even talked about our dogs. We arrived at probably at 3:45 today and the lady tells me my total of 70 something dollars. I said what happens to the 28.00? She said that’s our price because of Frontier Days. I proceeded to tell her my conversation with the girl I talked to and she said I don’t know but that’s our price. I told her all we do is travel so I plan these things out and keeps notes. She refused to honor what I was told. I asked to talk to the the girl who made the reservation but she was off. We canceled the reservation. She wasn’t rude but to not honor what I was told and obviously couldn’t make up, she should have honored it. And this is our first experience with Wyoming. Hopefully we get people true to their word. Now we go look for some more honest people…….

We stayed at Terry Bison for 3 nights in our R.V. Meal and service at the steakhouse was very good! Location was so close to Cheyenne.. loved it! Read some reviews about animal care etc. I was raised on a farm and I know animals. All the talk about the animals and dirty pens are ABSOLUTELY false! These animals are well taking care of! They have plenty of space in their paddocks and are clean! The pigs are fat and happy !! We did not take the train ride to see buffalo but did see many buffalo. Place could use. Some TLC but is not dilapidated and I would return again!

We definitely had fun at this RV Park. We had full hookups and all the utilities worked, but the sites are very close together. The people working in the training post where you check in we're all very nice to us. It was made a little more affordable with a Good Sam discount. We got to see a herd of bison from the RV Park. They also had a resident peacock which was fun to watch and two huge ducks. Overall a good stay and we definitely would like to come back! We only gave it three stars because the sites are too close together and it was very close to the interstate.

We came for a train ride to feed the Bison and for a family day out. Chris was the best conductor, kept us smiling and laughing the whole ride. He was very knowledgeable about both the ranch, the bison and about Wyoming. We had a blast- a very unique experience that all of my kids enjoyed! We will definitely tell people to come visit- and we will visit again- next time in summer! We ate lunch in the steakhouse and were very impressed with the friendly service and amazing food. This place is fantastic! A daimond in the rough!

Thank you to all at the ranch for making our visit so memorable. Our guide was fabulous. We were not aware of how vast the ranch is - going into Colorado and all. Meeting Gene the Bison with a 15" tongue was outstanding! The rest of the herd was equally awesome. Getting to feed Bison and get up close and personal was such a thrill on our fun meter. We are so proud of this Ranch for purifying the blood lines, maintaining and increasing the numbers of this species. The American Bison is a wonder and they are even cute in their own special way. We hope to return for a trail ride. Love from Coloradans.

One of the best things we have done! Such an amazing time on the train ride to go feed the bison. Our guide was amazing and so knowledgeable. We did the cat walk above some of the animals and it was so cool to interact with them from up there. The bison were so sweet and knew how to get those treats. Everything was very clean, everyone was so nice and the animals seem to be very well taken care of. A very fun experience and I highly recommend it!

We drove up for the day from Colorado, so I cannot speak for the overnight accommodations, but I will say that the bathrooms were pristine. We came for the Bison tour, and we had a great time! I brought my sister, college roommate, 12 year old nephew, and two toddlers, and we all loved it. The conductor was funny, genuine, and informative. There are picnic tables if you want to pack lunch, and there is also a restaurant and souvenir shop that sells snacks. I highly recommend! I recommend buying treats to feed the bison. We bought two bags and had more than plenty. We will be back!

We dove in from Texas and visited this place on our way to Yellowstone. We rented a cabin for the night and took the train ride in the morning. The first thing I must mention is that this place is far from being a resort. The cabin and train ride were overpriced for what you get. The train was not the same one as shown on the website, instead this rickety old thing patched together with plywood. Most of the tour was pretty disappointing just confirmed how run down this place really is. The animals look to be in poor health and many of the buffalo were injured. This may have been a nice place many years ago but it seems management has not done any upkeep in several years. I will not visit again and don't recommend it.

I was visiting my Mom in Denver and thought this would be a good day trip. It was on a weekday, & cold, but the staff were all pleasant and welcoming. The gift shop was nice, had good souvenirs and snacks. The bathrooms were clean.The train ride was cold and breezy. But, it was all forgotten when we reached the Buffaloes. It was both intimidating and wonderful to see, feed and touch them! Just don't touch their horns! We already have friends interested in visiting after we shared our experience.

We went on the bison train ride and then had a snack at the Senators Cafe. Caleb was out your guide on the train, he was funny and full of great information. The bison are so cute and gentle. They come right up to the train and you can feed them the treats provided. And they give you lots of treats! At the Senator’s we sat at the bar and Travis the bartender chatted with us for a while. Everything was great. Totally recommend!

We didn't start at the resort, just visited the ranch and took the train. Before boarding the train, we walked around to look at the 2 week old colts and fillies. One of the colts, Bandit, sadly lost his mom. Caleb talked about Bandit and how Bandit is being raised to ensure he's strong and easy to handle. Once on the train, we learned all about the bison. Since our train only had 5 people, we were able to ask questions while feeding the bison. Since we visited in mid-May there were several babies (red dogs) and one brown baby, which apparently is rare. It was such a treat to see the babies and even feed a bull! After feeding the bison, the remainder of the train ride was full of history of the ranch, including information about the oldest buildings on the property and Teddy Roosevelt. Terry Bison Ranch was one of the highlights of our trip. If you like this kind of thing, enjoy history, or just want to learn about the local culture back in the day, go to Terry Bison and ride the train!P.S. they have other activities such as horseback riding, we just didn't experience them.

Long time Cheyenne resident here. I’ve been taking friends and family to the train ride here for many years. This time was awful. Not only did the prices go up to $20 PLUS $10 for a bag of food to feed the bison (which is completely new. Food was always provided on the trains) granted, we’re in the middle of inflation so that I understand. But the tour guide was disengaged. We could hardly hear anything he was saying. There was no more live interaction with the amazing and cool cowboys (which is the highlight of the ride!). We were a SUPER heartbroken that we went away very unhappy. We hope things change for the better.

This place is amazing! I did the guided trail ride and I was amazed by the person that got all the horses together and matched the horse with each rider including myself. Due to my experience she entrusted me to take her sweet 2 1/2 year old out and he was great! Next thing that I observed was how caring she was with a little girl who was experiencing anxiety and how she stopped to make sure that little girl was taken care of. The trail ride was very good and even though the guide was kind of hard to hear in the wind, they also did great to make sure everyone had a good time. I have done many trail rides in several locations and this was one of the best!

WOW! We happened upon this place in a brochure and are so grateful we did! Sofia was such a delight as our train guide. We got to see many different animals (even prairie dogs!). The bison feeding experience was truly magnificent. We travelled from California to Denver and feel so blessed that we were able make it up to Terry Bison Ranch! We will definitely be back and will recommend to all family and friends!

The place is great! Me and my family got to feed bison, it was so much fun! I definitely recommend this place! Our tour guide Al was great! We also did the trail ride! Al was really helpful! Also the food was awesome! Senator’s Steakhouse did not disappoint. The bison burgers were incredible.

Loved loved loved the trail ride. Our guide was amazing. I truly would not miss this opportunity to see what it is like to ride through this historic plain. It was magical to imagine the west as it truly was. Al is a true cowboy. Experience was awesome. So glad we did it. Highly recommend!

We didn't stay overnight and didn't eat here. (We would have gotten breakfast but the cafe was closed.) This review is a reflection of the bison train and the grounds. The animals seem...sad? It's donkeys in the corners of their pens staring off into the distance, foals laying in their own feces, that sort of thing. There was no one out tending to the animals, tending to the grounds...it all felt off.It was neat to see the bison up close on the train, but we didn't need lectures about Wyoming's open-carry laws ahead of our tour. (Our guide had a gun on his hip during our tour...is that necessary?) Note that the train that's on all of their promotional images online isn't what you'll ride in. That one seemed not to be in operation. The train you'll be riding is one with broken windows that people on your tour will inevitably try to open anyway when it's time to meet the bison. (We sat by an open window, so had to deal with people from broken window seats leaning over ours to feed the bison.)This place doesn't take reservations, so unfortunately you may be waiting around for a while until your tour time if your chosen time isn't available.

Went on a trail ride, which was nice, and I rode the train to feed the Bison.Jonathan, the train conductor was great; informative and funny. Never in my wildest dreams did I ever think I would be able to hand feed Bison and I absolutely loved it.I did stay at the resort, it was just a quick day stop.I wanted to eat at the Senators restaurant, but the only options were a $50 buffet, or one menu item of steak. I didn’t stay to eat.

I always start with bad things first and like to end with the positive, so please read all the way through. Terry Bison Ranch isn’t kept up the best. RV sites aren’t the most level and it’s pretty much just dirt and gravel. You won’t want to hang out right outside your motorhome most likely. It was close to the highway and there was a lot of traffic noise. Bring EARPLUGS.But we still LOVED it! It’s a totally different experience with a real working ranch right there that you can check out with Miniature Donkeys, peacocks, alpaca, turkeys, chicken, draft horses, riding horses, pigs, ostrich, goats and bison from a 20 ft high cat walk. We just stopped overnight while traveling home and didn’t have time for anything other than a quick look unfortunately and plan on coming back for a couple days on our next trip out west. Here’s all the great things they offer (for a fee) that we couldn’t partake in this trip. Horseback riding, pony rides, fishing for stocked rainbow trout (bring your own gear and lures) a custom made Mad Max looking rainbow bus/train that rides the rails around the ranch and bison area. The nicest gift shop around. Very unique gift and souvenir items, along with alcohol, drinks, clothes, jewelry candy, even bubble gum cigarettes. I’m not meaning to promote smoking (bad) but the blast from the past (good)😃 and kinda pricey.There is also a streak house type restaurant with bar and casino. We didn’t have time to go there though so I can’t say much about that.They do have lots of green space around with permanent grills and really cool play ground equipment.

We visited Terry Bison Ranch last weekend and stayed 1 night in one of the cabins. We had the absolute best time. The ranch is a true working ranch and coming from New York, we were amazed! We got to feed the buffaloes on the train tour, which was so fun! We went to senator’s for dinner and enjoyed the slots at the gaming saloon. Everyone was super friendly and we couldn’t recommend it more!

Our experience was AMAZING!!! We stopped on our way to Oregon from Iowa road tripping for our honeymoon. Our guide was amazing, helpful and told us a lot of history and facts about the ranch. I think he said his name was Caleb. We didn't stay on the ranch so I wouldn't be able to rate the cabins. Im sure if it was as amazing as the rest of the place they are perfect, too. We did the hour horseback riding tour. Worth every penny ♡♡♡

🦬 Fantastic time on the ranch. We took the bison train tour and incredibly enjoyed it! The guide was very informative, educational, and friendly. I apologize. I don't remember her name, but I do recall that this is her 14th summer. We participated in feeding the bison on the 200,000+ acres. We also walked around and saw peacocks, cats, horses, ponies, alpacas, chickens, turkeys, bison, and an ostrich. Great day to tour on the train at 35 mph. Beautiful day!! We would love to come again.....

Prices for train is outrageous! Why not make it affordable so a large family can go and enjoy? 20.00 per adult is just ridiculous and 12.00 per child? It was nice to be able to see some of the animals with out a fee but to make it family friendly I would think the prices would be affordable for everyone.but on the plus side the kids enjoyed the animals that they could see.

This place was so disappointing! Firstly-no smoke detector, out of date fire extinguisher, definitely not up to standards. air conditioner needed new filter. We booked a cabin 6 months ahead of time with 2 double beds, but didn't get what was booked! And it certainly was not the cabin advertised! The managers on at time were unhelpful, rude. Was told that the flip out sofa was the other double bed. no way was that what we booked and was not what was advertised ! The linen was in a garbage bag and there was no spare pillows for the bed! the sofa bed had plastic wrap, with holes and dead bugs! the fly paper was full of moths and looked like they old ones had been picked off leaving remnants of dead bodies. the sinks and the oven was dirty. I do not recommend staying here at all. the worst place that we stayed at after 14 days of travel. I was so upset with management and accommodation!We did not go on the ride to see the bison! The attitude of the women in charge on the days was so horrible, we did not want to spend more money there. I would have left on arrival but it was foggy and raining. I did not feel safe there! Just awful?

Always a great experience to take the kids for a train ride to feed the bison. We live in Cheyenne, and whenever we have visitors to the area, we take them to Terry Bison for lunch and a train ride.Though the old adage of "do not pet the fluffy cow" remains true even here, you are able to get so much closer to bison than in any other setting, and in a safe environment. It's a great opportunity to show kids (and see for yourselves) the majesty of the American bison.Definitely recommend those coming through or staying in Cheyenne take a few hours to head down to the Terry Bison Ranch and check things out.

The enclosed war train is great during the cold and windy times.My wife loves horses/animals, and being able to see and love on them is her vise.Ranch hands on every visit seem educated and willing to talk. They even brought one or two animals over that were being a little shy.Great place for kids to see animals and learn about history! Highly recommended for all ages.

So much fun!! The property is free to walk around but I highly recommend the bison train tour for $20. It’s about an hour and you get to see a lot of animals. The bison come right up to the train. Lots of photo ops. We had a blast!

The employees were very pleasant and helpful. The burgers were okay, but the rest of the food was not good at all. I’m amazed how the Ranch has gone down hill since I was last there. I enjoyed feeding the bison, but it was really hard to understand the guide on the train. He was very pleasant but the PA system needs to be reworked. I, personally, would not recommend visiting the Terry Bison Ranch.

In all honesty, I didn't want to go back after we had a poor experience over the summer. However, we knew they were transitioning management and ownership, so we decided to visit again. What a difference! The bar staff was friendly and attentive. The Wyoming Downs staff was fun, attentive, and down to earth. I was genuinely surprised at how quickly this place turned around.

Came up from Denver and had a great time. We stayed in one of the cabins. Everyone from the front desk to the restaurant staff to the wranglers were extremely accommodating and nice. We had Sierra as our guide for a horseback riding tour and she was a great guide. We came just after a snow storm so there was a fair amount of snow which looked beautiful across the fields and hills across the property. We’d like to come back in the summer to try camping.

Well it’s seldom I give a bad review but sorry today it’s got to be the truth.We did our best and came here for the big train trip around the bisons. We thought our contribution was to pay for the well being of the animals. Not to be !Trip cancelled. And then the snotty woman on the counter pulls out a hidden no refunds sign.We offered to use our money for the unused trip in the store but no, slapped face receptionist said no and have a good day.Sadly we won’t go back. We have travelled all over the states but this is the first time we encountered such ignorance.Stay away. Spend your money down the road.

We had a fun stop here, unfortunately only for one night because we would have stayed longer if we had time. The staff was great and it was easy to check in for our RV space. Wish we had time to stay and interact with the animals! The next store restaurant was great too!

We drove up from Denver to spend the day here. It was absolutely worth it. We truly enjoyed the train ride. Caleb gave us a ton of interesting information about the ranch and the history. Feeding the boom was our favorite part. We spent a ton of time off the train as well checking out all of the animals. There are picnic tables and a gazebo to have lunch if needed and plenty of room for littles to run. We visited both playgrounds which were awesome!! We had a group of ten from ages 1-62 and everyone loved it. We will definitely be back.

We stayed in the RV park, the ranch was super fun for us and the kids, feeding the Bison, staff was exceptional. My 2 wishes: 1) the RV park had a wall or trees to deaden the highway noise, we didn't sleep well even in a new RV, 2) that the steakhouse served fresh Bison from the ranch, we ate there expecting this would be the case.

Terry Bison Ranch is awesome. Plain and simple. We came with high hopes of feeding bison, riding horses, seeing ranch animals and eating some bison burgers! Terry Bison Ranch fulfilled all of our expectations to the letter! We had so much fun. Everyone was so helpful in getting our “city slicker” butts in the saddles. If you’re looking for a great place to be outside and see some great animals, this is the place. Stop by when you can, you wont regret it.

It's way out of town. It's not what it's cracked up to be. We had a dog and it was about to rain. They don't let you take them in building at all and won't serve you at their so called out door seating. (Just table in the open, out side) can't even grab a beer with lunch and sit at out side table with your dog. Says Buffalo farm. But you can't see them at all unless you take their train and they don't even serve Buffalo. We were hoping for a Buffalo burger. Maybe their shopping is fun, but the rain and we didn't want to waste much time, as we were just traveling thru.

We visited the ranch for the Bison train ride. Even though that was a lot of fun, my review is about the customer service I've experienced.I had 3 adults in my group and purchased discounted tickets prior to arriving. Not exactly knowing how it works, I redeemed only one of them. While trying to get the actual tickets, a person in my group paid full price for two more. During the ride I realized that we made a mistake and returned to the cashiers to get the money back for overpaying twice. We were met with some irritation from the manager who needed to run to a "meeting with the bosses" instead of solving our ridiculously small issue. There were two more ladies at the registers. One of them told us to wait for the manager who would be back in about an hour. The other one to my question "Did I just pay for the ride twice and there's nothing that can be done?" replied "Nothing."A simple refund could have resulted in us spending more money at the store. We were excited about getting some buffalo steaks and purchasing some souvenirs.We had to leave immediately.No, We didn't get any refund.

We just went to Terry Bison Ranch and took the train ride to see and feed the bison. It was wonderful and Sierra was incredible and truly the heart and soul of the place! We didn’t expect much, but ended up staying for at least another hour with our 9yo son and 15yo daughter to chill with the horses, foal, alpaca, cats, ostrich etc. The bison came right up to the train and ate out of a few hands of ppl on the train with us! I would recommend maybe taking the first train of the day bc the bison weren’t hungry at all and didn’t really care to come eat anything from us on the noon train. Of course maybe it also had to do with the fact that they had mountains of hay to eat from too. 🤪 Regardless, we would def come again and would bring friends and family as part of a CO/WY experience. The Bison burgers were great, get the onion rings and fries!! They were the best we’ve ever had in our whole life! No joke!

Very nice friendly staff! We did the train ride. Great for kids. Loved the bison stop! Sierra did a very good job trying to tell the story of the ranch and the bison, she definitely needs a pa system!! I really enjoyed what I was able to hear!!

We stayed at Terry Bison Ranch RV Resort. This rating is for the campground only. We were in site #76. Our site total bill for the night was $59 which is the Good Sams rate. This is no resort; it is an old campground that is tired and definitely needs tender loving care. Our site was a pull through with a grass and gravel base. It was pretty level and just long enough for our motohome and car. It was very narrow as our slide was five feet from our neighbors slide. Definitely could not us awning and really not enough room to set up chairs. The site was sprinkled with cigarette butt's. There is no table or fire ring but there was not room for either. They have about 90 sites but put everybody in a tight clump; really don't understand why they don't spread everybody out. When passing through this area again we will not be staying here.

We recently stayed at Terry Bison Ranch Resort in Cheyenne, Wyoming, and had a memorable experience. Although the resort is on the older side and it was quite windy during our visit, it is evident that the staff are putting in effort to update the property.The highlight of our stay was the breathtaking views of the buffalo-filled plains. Watching these majestic animals roam freely was truly a sight to behold. The staff at the resort were wonderful, always friendly and eager to assist with any needs.One of the most unforgettable parts of our visit was riding the train out to feed the buffalo. This experience was second to none, offering a unique and up-close encounter with these incredible creatures. It’s an activity we highly recommend for visitors of all ages.Overall, while there are areas that show the resort’s age, the ongoing improvements and the exceptional experiences offered make Terry Bison Ranch Resort a worthwhile destination. We look forward to seeing how the resort continues to evolve and will definitely return in the future should our travels bring us back through Cheyenne, Wyoming.

Such a cool experience!! The train left at 9 am. We showed up at 9:01, and they graciously held the train for us. The train and the tour guide were super rustic, and so much fun! We hand fed bison, walked a cat walk over goats and pigs, scratched a beautiful Clydesdale, inched by territorial turkeys, pet the farm cats, and generally had a very good time. They have reasonably priced cabins that face the bison fields, RV spots, a huge playground for the kids, a restaurant, and general store. We will definitely stay there next time. This is absolutely worth a stop!

We traveled miles and miles and only saw black cows. Finally, some Buffalo. We really enjoyed this amazing experience to feed the Buffalo. Where can you go and get this close to these gentle but dangerous/huge animals. The little train ride to the field and a bit of history telling on the way was enjoyable. The beautiful Peacocks perched. We came on Christmas Eve and this place has alot more to offer in peak season. We enjoyed the delicious Bison buffet that was offered. This was a memory maker! Thanks!

Went in a trail ride this morning for my birthday. Roper was our guide amd he was absolutely amazing. My husband has never been on a horse beofre and Roper was truly amazing. It was such a fun and easy ride. Piper was my horse and she was so calm and easy going. Definitely recommend if your looking for something to do. It's a good time and you will have a blast. We will be back for the 2 hour ride soon. Please go you will have an amazing time.

Stopped in as I was hiking north--cute as can be. Yeah, it's a tourist trap, BUT it's soooooo lovable. And the bison on the hillsides are absolutely real. I think kids would love this place. At least stop and buy a soda pop.

We had so much fun here! It's a big hit with kids, but us adults thoroughly enjoyed it too. The train was great and the tour guide really enhanced the experience. There are a lot of other animals to see as well.

Absolutely loved this place! We didn't stay overnight so I can't speak to their cabins. We went for the chance to see and feed the Buffalo. The petting zoo was a bonus. It was a fun day with the Buffalo. Totally worth it!

Really cool place. Lots of train stuff to look at. They have several model train displays. You are right by the train tracks so there’s a good chance a train will go by while you’re there.

One of the best train museums we have ever been to and we go to lots of them. Every aspect of the Cheyenne part of Union Pacific history is covered from the surveyors, to laying the tracks, to Big Boy and everything you can think of related to steam engines. The history was excellent and displays were great. It’s located in the historic depot and is quite beautiful. The rooms have audios of men who worked in the train yards and on the trains in various capacities there is an audio tour. The Cheyenne Visitor Center is also located there. A wonderful experience, give yourself several hours. And thank you Michelle for being such a kind and informative staff member.

Wonderful for train enthusiasts! Learned a lot about the region and trains. Great activities for kids and adults with displays set up for a wonderful experience. Upstairs is the model trains exhibit where there are very knowledgeable staff waiting to answer any and all questions. It's a fantastic spot as it's location is right next to the railroad tracks and we got to see Union Pacific's Big Boy 4014 coming back from Denver Colorado.

Cheyenne depot museum and plaza is one of the main attractions of Cheyenne downtown. The depot museum is great place preserving the history of this city. Outside plaza is decorated with some great bronze sculptures. I would recommend this place to everyone. pParking could be difficult so find your place before this place get crowded. The museum timings are different so call them before you go.

If you like trains, you’ll love this place! Wonderful old photos, history, nice gift shop and area to view the trains close up. Highly recommend

Who knew there would be so much more to learn about the history of trains coming to and from Cheyenne! Here's a fun fact, when I was there, there was a video of a train going from Golden, Colorado to Black Hawk, Colorado. I'm from that area and had zero idea! Who knew I would learn about my own backyard in a city 120 miles away!

It was entertaining, but not what I expected. I wanted to see real trains and hoped to see the railroad roundhouse out back, but we couldn't because of buildings and fencing in the way. The elevator to the top floor of the main lobby also didn't work which I was hoping would give me a chance at a view of it with no luck. The main floor had a lot of history of the town and train station and how they used to make and fix things. There was also a kid play area and a little shop with shirts, toys, postcards, etc. If you like train dioramas though then the second floor is definitely for you. There was also a penny squish machine which made me happy.

Great museum for kids and adults - many exhibits and photos with interesting info (there was an article from the 19th century about a new miracle invention - telephone:) )There is an area for kids to play with wooden train tracks and a place on the second floor where kids can control a model train. The museum run model train is impressive although it wasn't on when we visited. The gift shop has many options for train lovers and Wyoming visitors.

Wonderful little museum. I especially loved the huge toy train setup upstairs. Cute little gift shop with lots of unique items.

Beautiful museum. Details the history of the railroad system in the United States. The second floor displays a very detail miniature landscape of Colorado with train and mini towns. The person who put it together, Mr. Harry Brunk, took 30 years in the making, past away this May (2023) at the age of 82. He made this huge project possible by dismantling a manufactured home.

Great experience of the beginnings of Cheyenne and the Union Pacific. Many settlers and stations have come and gone from the late 1800s and present time. Working for Hulcher has let me see all the RR businesses that help build the Transcontinental railroad. Highly recommend visiting the Depot museum & gift shop. 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽Ft.Worth Texas luv for Wyoming!

We had a great time, the guy running the front desk was very nice and knowledgeable. It took our family of 6 about 2 hours. The train room upstairs was amazing. Pet friendly as well, we had our 2 dogs with us and they let us through with them, awesome experience.

The architecture of this railroad station and the historical tributes to Cheyenne's railway history is amazing.

We decided to drive into Cheyenne and check out their train museum there. The place is priced well and full of great docents to answer questions. There is a nice model train area upstairs that is well worth the time to visit. The layout took more than 30‘years to create/assemble and a marvelous jo!

A neat place to go to if you're in town! Definitely worth it. Kids would love this place. If you like trains in any way, or have a kid that does, this is the place to go! If you're lucky, actual trains will roll past, since it is still an official train depot. Upstairs (there are large elevators, so wheelchair accessible) there is a large room with a long, continuous model train and railroad. Due to the time of year we went (winter) it was not running, but in summer it is supposed to.Additionally there was a smaller remote control train that you could turn on yourself. There is also a movie that replays upstairs to watch, if you wanted. It is an older movie.There are some children-safe things to interact with, such as a wooden caboose and train car that they can play in and take pictures.

Very cool places to learn about, see, and play with TRAINS! Learn about the history of Cheyenne and how the train depot played a big part in helping to establish it. It also has a lot of history information about Union Pacific.Took us about 2 hours to go through the whole thing. Lots to read and learn about. They also have different spots to sit and watch short videos. You can call a phone number and get a free audio tour through the whole thing.It costs $10 per adult, but kids 12 and under are free. I think 13-17 was about $7? It's definitely worth it. They also have a cool gift shop too. There are two floors to go through, and the second floor has a whole model set up. Look for dinosaurs. 🦖Also, be sure to check out the Big Boy 4004 down the street after you go through the museum. It's awesome. It's at a park and it's free.

There is a wonderful HOn3 narrow gauge model train layout on the second floor of the museum,I love it!

I LOVE trains!I loved the diversity of displays to view in this train museum! I liked getting to view vintage uniforms, tools, books, and accessories. Another thing I enjoyed viewing was the second floor of miniature trains. The dinosaur scavenger hunt was a cute touch to the experience. And how fun is it to watch trains go by as you tour? Excellent experience.

We were here on weekend and there was a craft fair/farmers market taking place; lots of interesting items on sale.The museum cost 10.00 a person to go in, we did not visit the museum, but walked around the train depot. The painted boots around the depot are extremely nice to view.

What a fun and informative museum. The model railroad museum upstairs is really fun. The detail in the buildings and surrounding forests, rivers and rock formations is phenomenal. The conductors are great and provide you with information. There are also 4 tiny dinosaurs hidden throughout the display, which adds to the adventure! Definitely a must see!

Now this museum is definitely worth checking out! I have to admit, I think my favorite part of this museum was the kids area 😂. Two floors of SO much different information. From hunting, to pioneering, to state forests, to some dinosaurs and more! This museum got a little bit of everything! I don't want to post too much because I don't want to spoil the magic that this museum has to offer. You'll just have to see for yourself!

An amazing place. The museum will tell you everything you need to know about Wyoming's history. From the era of the dinos to the convulsing times of the 20th Century. The collection of artifacts, outfits, rocks, bones...is truly remarkable. I'd like to mention that I really enjoyed the second floor, dedicated, almost entirely, to Indian American culture.

A wonderful museum with excellent dioramas of wildlife and fantastic exhibits on sheep ranching, mining, cowboys and pioneer life. Great for all ages. Plan to spend several hours. The staff are super nice and docent from Tanzania was a great guy. Their Native American exhibits were very educational. Children will love touching the hides of various animals. The National Park section was particularly good. Lots of good info on Yellowstone and wildlife, including the Yellowstone stagecoach.

Got here as they were setting up for family day. We were in a bit of a hurry but they didn't seem to mind at all, and left us to our own to explore. This place is absolutely interesting, and had I the time I would absolutely spend more time here. My favorite exhibit was the national parks exhibit, which was filled with so many interesting facts about the parks around this beautiful state. I was mainly here for the state capitol stamp passport booklet, but they sold out so they stamped a paper for me to add to my travel notebook. The amazing volunteers here are so welcoming and lovely! I will have to return to Cheyenne to enjoy more. Expect to spend 45 minutes here for adults, an hour to an hour and a half if you've kids (however, with how many activity stations I saw, I could see this being a 2-3 hour endeavor with kids). For two adults in a hurry, we spent 25 minutes running through, and I wish we had 15 minutes more to spare so I could look and read more, this is such a great free museum. 5/5 would return!

Great history museum in downtown Cheyenne! Free admission, they accept donations instead. They have great exhibits about Wyoming and its history. From times of the dinos, to the lives of the indigenous people, and then the establishment of WY as a state. There's also a small section with some contemporary art. I was especially touched by the exhibit that shared information and statistics about Missing, Murdered, and Indigenous Women exhibit and video in the gallery. This is an issue that needs a lot more attention and I appreciate that it is here. I really enjoyed my visit. Thank you

The family days are wonderful!! fun activities and access to the museum. They have an interactive room, really good experience for kids and adults. Also they have some activities by zoom, like exposition or conferences, some days ago was one about the bison culture, definitely one of my favorites museums!!

The museum is so great! It's completely free to the public and they have an amazing area for the kids. I'll be bringing my kids back for future rainy day fun.The gift shop is also pretty cool. They have something for everyone.

Free admission and lots of free street parking adjacent to the museum. Informative displays and exhibits. I would recommend 1-2 hours to visit.

My boys enjoy this free museum. There were a few interactive educational activities that taught guests about history. I love that they try to make history fun and engaging.

Wonderful museum! I loved it! There is something for everyone, Dinosaurs Geology War relics and memorabilia. The section on Native Americans was very informative and Respectful. The exhibit on Missing and Murdered Indigenous people and Showing of the documentary about it was incredibly informative and inspiring to cause change. This museum has wonderful resources and I definitely recommend it to anyone who loves learning. Admission was free and There is a gift shop as well.

I took my 11 year old granddaughter to the museum and she loved it. The play area and displays were informative and fun. She learned a lot about the history of Wyoming.

The museum is a bit small, but it does have two floors. The staff is super friendly, and they have a lot of interactive displays. The museum is very well put together.

It was such a wonderful, fun place to explore! Great educational aspects! Learn about the state of Wyoming, how it became a state, and how the state was before statehood. Learn about the indigenous people and their way of life, too! So much fun and as a bonus.. IT'S ALL FREE❣️

Our family had SO much fun at this museum. It is free to enter and had tons of hands on exhibits. Our one year old especially enjoyed the kids room. The entire museum was really well done- especially for a free attraction. Highly recommend!

Anything you want to know about the state of Wyoming under this 2 story building.

It was a free museum with relatively easy parking (free) on the road. The sites were fantastic and truly covered the whole state. There was a elementary class while we went and they seemed to be having the time of their lives!Additionally, I was very glad to see a wall about how Indigenous women are going missing at an alarming rate across the US, but also Wyoming. It is important to bring attention to the problem.Highly recommend going if you're in Cheyenne!

Such a great little museum. Near the capital and full of interesting displays. Our kids all enjoyed it, ages ranging from 10-15 y/o. Free to enter, with a donation box. They also had a great little gift shop with very reasonably priced items. Definitely a good stop on your visit to downtown Cheyenne!

My kids loved this museum. They had a great section that was hands on where the lights adjusted to represent different times of day. There were pelts and antlers to touch and it was great. I enjoyed the entire museum.

A very nice State history museum that is definitely worth a visit if you're in the area. Unlike many museums that are packed with too many things to see, here you have some selected items that are well-chosen and represent the many facets of Wyoming state history. We spent about 90 minutes there and enjoyed everything we saw. Some good activities for young kids, so bring them along!

Very nice state museum. Had some great things to see and very well organized. Free and definitely worth your time to visit. Coming in from Nebraska glad we stopped and learned more about Wyoming

For a free local museum this was fun & interesting. The lady that greeted us at the door was really friendly. She told us about the museum, gave us some information about the museum, & hooked us up with some brochures for local attractions. The museum itself had exhibits about dinosaurs, the old west, & the geography of Wyoming. Definitely worth taking a couple hours of your time to check out!

Really good museum. Lots of artifacts and displays.

Too expensive for what's in here, even if you really like frontier days. $5 might be reasonable. Probably would've been better if the stage coaches were back in their since the parade a couple weeks earlier. But the temporary art exhibit in its place was probably the best part. On a positive note, we found something we liked better in the brochure rack there.

Worth the walk-through if you have an interest in the events and history of Frontier Days. Very nice staff. Cost was $10 a person.

Absolutely fantastic museum. A real must see. Worlds largest for carriages.

Fantastic museum. Their collection of carriages is second to none. Fascinating history of Cheyenne Frontier Days

Very memorable visit. Great place to learn a bit of the past of the Frontier Days. Excellent experience.

History is epic. Seeing how much CFD has done is amazing. So many people decided to do what was good for their community and now we get to honor them.

Staff is very polite and helpful. There are lots of interesting facts. Beautiful paintings.

This place has to be one of our favorite stops. Always hearing about “The Daddy of them all” and getting to stop and see it has only inspired us to come back to CFDs. The museum is great with numerous wagons preserved, memorabilia from past cowboys including Lane Frost. This was a special trip to see the museum. Wish we could have gotten to see inside the arena area, but it was great just the same.

I liked the place, and as a foreigner, I found it a really interesting glimpse into local history and rodeo culture in particular. My ignorance about "Frontier Days" being a rodeo event (it's huge in Cheyenne but not exactly something we talk about all the time in Europe...) led to me being a bit surprised at how focused the museum is on that particular festival. Arguably, that's on me, but I did feel that the "old west" part of its name could be approached with somewhat more detailed exhibits and information on the history of the area. There are some cool objects on display though.Do want to point out that $17.50 pp. (May 2024) in my opinion is really steep (and there's a review from 11 months ago mentioning how steep $12 is, so it seems prices are going up here beyond what inflation would account for). I understand the museum may depend on charging a certain amount, but other museums in the US I've recently been to were either less expensive or had more to offer.Nevertheless, a nice place if you have an interest in the topic, especially if you like rodeo, so 3.5-4* for me.

My parents loved it! They were visiting from CT and we stopped here for 30 minutes during the weekend trolley ride. I know my dad wishes we spent longer there! There are many interesting things to see inside and the gift shop is really nice.

We visited the museum today. 2yo grand daughter got in for free and great grandparents from AZ both received discount tickets for $15 each. That is where the good news stops.We arrived later in the morning, around 10:45am, around 11:30 we wanted to go to lunch, and come back after to continue seeing the museum exhibits.Attendant said we would be required to pay the admission fee again when we returned after lunch.General admission tickets should be good for all day.Expecting us to pay another $47.50 for another hour(ish) on site after lunch is unacceptable, we did not return today, and will not bring out of town guests in the future.

Took a weekend trip to Cheyenne, this place was definitely worth the trip. Especially if you're an old west or rodeo fan. Not real big, but lots to see.

I think this is a cool place and I feel bad saying this but..... It's over priced for what it is. It's dated and badly needs to be renovated to justify the $12 a person. It's really only worth $6ish a person. Seeing the old wagons was neat. If friends come in town would not say this is a must see unless they *love frontier days. The free botanical gardens across the street are a huge plus for the location and made us feel like it wasn't a wasted trip just for this museum.

If your ever in Cheyenne, WY check out the Frontier Museum. It has the largest collection of carriages and buggies in the world. Wow so much to see there. Incredible collection of frontier artifacts. It takes at least two hours to see..but could easily spend more time there.

Rodeo good. Fairgrounds kinda unorganized. Worth visit. Indian section and Chuck wagon areas great

Had a wonderful time looking at the wagons and displays. The employees were helpful and friendly. We also liked the short film in the back. The only thing left to do is come back during the rodeo.

Very friendly staff. I felt like I was stepping back in time with the old carriages and artifacts. Great gift shop. We learned a lot about the rodeo culture here and how important Frontier Days is to this town. Great stop while we were visiting Wyoming.

Extensive, interesting collection of carriages and wagons as well as CFD and rodeo memorabilia. As other reviewers have noted, much of the rodeo material is dated (late '80s to early '90s) and is in need of updating. Relatively steep admission fee.

This is a wonderful little museum where they explain so many good things revolving the rodeo. I loved the art show they had there as well, it was fantastic. I can't wait to bring my family.

I took my kids on a hike to see the waterfall in early July. The scenery is absolutely gorgeous. The campsites look very well maintained and the staff is so joyful and pleasant. We will definitely come back to do some actual camping.

Very nice place! Campsites are spread out and all over the park. Lots of nice hikes and places to get on the paddleboard in the water to explore. Able to fish around there too. Easy to access different areas of the park and explore the various reservoirs. Nice staff in the booth and in visitor center as well!

This is a beautiful state park! We stayed in JH2, a new section. The site was very long and spacious and we were able to level fairly easily although we noticed that some of the sites were pretty sloped. Our view was amazing and the walks we took on the trails within the park were great. They do not have a good after-hours check in process. It's a good thing I had written down which site we had reserved because I would not have known where to go otherwise. We plan to return to this beautiful park someday.

Conveniently located near Cheyenne, this is a very nice state park with plenty of campsites and hiking trails. The trails run through the mountain and range from beginner to advanced. But even the advanced trails were decent. Definitely worth a visit.

An easy stop if you're near Cheyenne and a beautiful drive out to the park. I found it easy to navigate the website and was able to book a site same day.We liked the pull through sites and the beautiful view of the lake right out the front door! Nice little beach there as well. Dog friendly and clean!

Cool, mostly well-marked trails and not crazy expensive to go to. I hope to visit again when I'm in the area.Be sure to grab a trail map when you're in the visitor center.

We stayed in a cabin and it was clean and well maintained and easily sleeps 6 with room to spare. The cabin has air conditioning, a mini fridge and a microwave. There was a wood burning stove and a picnic table outside for cooking food and eating. The pit toilet was the cleanest I have ever seen. There is also a 24 hour coin shower at the visitor center.There are wonderful hiking trails for all levels of hikers. Slabz is a challenge but the views were worth the hike. Hidden Falls is a longer hike but worth it. The water is VERY cold.

I am actually sharing with you a review of a hike to Hidden Falls . . .Started this trail at o9:2o from the Hidden Falls Trailhead located at the North Causeway parking lot and it was already warm. Thank goodness some of it is in the shade and got cooler as you got closer to the water stream. Rock lovers would find this place pretty awesome with the cool rock formations of coarse granite. There is the Chameleon Rock where trad climbers can go and some bouldering nearby. We took several outer more challenging loops than the straight forward Crow Creek Trail to get more ice cream points for the day😂. The trails are all well maintained and easy despite the label of "extreme" and/or "moderate", and the highest elevation gain only 650 ft of that. This place could be a trail runners paradise 👍The trail becomes Crow Creek and we followed the outer more "difficult" to Mo Rocka, to Foxtail, and finally arrived at our destination Hidden Falls at 1o:45 with only several folks getting there so wasn't as crowded yet. The falls can be viewed from a corner but one must get in the waters to get the full experience up close! The water was surprisingly cold and pleasant; not freezing! The water level today varied from the ankle to my thighs (I'm only 5'2") and the deepest near the falls up to 7' deep apparently returning from it. I did not attempt getting too close to the falls as it did look deeper and I did not want to take my chances getting swept under😜. It was nice to soak the feet and legs whilst enjoying the view and snackies 😂People and kids started piling up so it was then time to skidadle! It was also starting to get really warm. Darted off of there at 11:25. We followed the Crow Creek Trail to Pinball to Stone Temple trail towards the Aspen Grove parking lot. The trail connects to Shoreline trail that returns to our start. Keep in mind this trail is out in the open with NO shade! The view of the Granite Springs Reservoir is picturesque and enticing enough to keep the mind cool on this hot return hike🌞Sorry to disappoint but I didn't run into any moose today 😂Stay cool on the trails!😎- Pixie🧚-

Very restful recreational area. If you have ever camped in the Black Hills, I would recommend this one over the Hills. This is simple, peaceful, not crowded or over commercialized.There are hiking trails. It cools down nice at night in the summer. If you aren't familiar with the Cheyenne area, it does rain a lot there in June and July. The camp area doesn't get muddy, but it rained every day of the 3 we were there.The showers are pay, very nice with a door at the visitors center. Bring $1-$5 or a roll of quarters!The water reservoir is the drinking water for Cheyenne, so they do limit what you can do in the water compared to other campgrounds.

A nice park for camping and paddle boarding. The campsites are very close to the road which makes them a bit awkward and noisy if people are driving by. The cost to visit the park and stay over night is too expensive for what you get. Paying per vehicle becomes a costly activity. The lake is a bit small but otherwise nice, and hiking was great. The Hidden Falls hike is definitely the highlight. Would make it 4/5 stars if not so expensive.

Absolute ace park for lovers of the outdoors. Has multiple beautiful spots, loved the hike to Hidden Falls (except could not see the falls - well duh - because the stepping stones around the bend were covered in snow) and the kids though the playground at Sherman Hills was ace, even in the snow. Camped at Twin Lakes Creek, which nice and quite and had a cold, but romantic view over the bay and lake.

I absolutely love this park. It's well maintained and well visited, so there's always somebody there. Be aware that they just did some recent trail construction and maintenance that isn't updated in the trail maps just yet, but it's well worth the visit. Lots of different trail types for various levels of hiker experience. The campsites are well maintained and some have water and electricity hookups. It can get crowded in holidays, so just be mindful for that when planning to visit.

Curt Gowdy is a lovely park with many opportunities for camping. There is a boat launch and many area to slip a kayak or paddleboard into the water. Fishing is allowed. There is an archery range and miles and miles of hiking trails. Thr whole park is very clean and well maintained.

What a great little area, nice reservoir, camp spots, beautiful visitor center too. They recently hosted an annual artists weekend during which painters dotted the area to paint vistas of their choosing, (kids could participate too)and then there was an art sale-it was fantastic!

Beautiful trails, forests, grass fields and waterfalls. Saw lots of single-track bike trails too! Boating, kayaking and water skiing is available here. Plus you can rent a lot of gear. Tent camping and sites for motor homes and campers are well suited for any type of outdoor activities. Great fishing holes. Plenty of restrooms. Awesome visitors center. Minimal (or free) entrance fee. Nice grill sites are here. Awesome State Park. Get outside and enjoy the summer 😎!

Had a blast going fishing!! Beautiful scenery and fun little hikes. Will definitely be returning, with different tackle👍 That was the only catch of the day🤣

Gorgeous park with great RV sites! Level and great distance between you and your neighbor! We had mile deer walk right behind our site in the early morning

Very nice state park. We only stayed for one night. We wish we could have stayed longer. We had fun exploring the lakes in the area. We especially liked the hike to Hidden Falls. To see our adventures subscribe to SIMPLE LIFE BIG ADVENTURES on YouTube.

Would give 5 stars camp sites need little more shade. Still a great place nice clean showers

Great park with camping, hiking and mountain biking trails. We spent 3 nights with a group of friends and really enjoyed it. Only 4 stars due to no showers, limited water sources unless you are in a full hookup site and lack of shade trees in the camping area. And yeah, windy but it's Wyoming.

This place is gorgeous. First time on Wyoming soil and just picked this place because it was closest hiking trail coming up from Colorado. Best decision I’ve ever made for a hike. I’ll be back and will camp so I can spend a couple of days exploring this place.

A very clean and tidy campground. Spent 1 night here tent camping on our way across country. Lovely experience

I love the horse riding. I wish therewere more horse trails. There is lots of bike trails and they spent a bunch of time maintaining them. I wish they spent some of their maintenance money getting water back in corrals and fixing broken spots. Curt Gowdy is worth it to ride for at least a day.

It’s beautiful state park in the state of Wyoming. The entry fee is very minimal but the residents definitely get some discount. The park has plenty of trails for hiking, breathtaking fishing spots, camp grounds, lakes. All in all you will never be short of options for outdoor activities.

This park is nice. Tons if places to dip your toes in the water. There are tons of hiking and biking trails. You can paddle board, canoe and float. There were a lot of people fishing. The water was cold, but felt great! There are a ton of camping spots all around the water and some have power. I will definitely be going up there again to stay a few nights with the family.

Well maintained park. Roomy sites. They even have kayak rentals. The only drawback is $32 per night with no dump station. Also, there was one inconsiderate camper that had his generator running non-stop.Update: FYI. The receptionist informed us that they do not enforce the campground rules. If you have an issue, you must contact the local sheriff's department. That's if you have any service.

We paddle boarded at North Crow, it was super nice out, not crowded, and the view was great. I don’t have a lot of photos (too busy setting up our inflatable paddle boards and getting on the lake). But I would go again.

Scenic boulders and trails, not too crowded despite the parking area being almost full. Dog friendly. Pit toilets available in a few areas. It was pretty windy, but there are some trees and large rock formations for a bit of shelter from the wind. Not a lot of shade.

Very cool rock features and natural area. Can't wait to go back and explore further.

Terrific place to go off trail and hit some mild to extreme rock climbing. Fun for kids and adults. There are some absolutely beautiful views. Definitely worth the time to make stop.

Absolutely love climbing here! I was raised in Wyoming and spent so much time here. It's great for families, pic nic, hiking, camping, you name it. Can't recommend it enough. Go if you are close to Cheyenne. You won't regret it.

Was in Laramie for a wedding a number of years ago, and was recommended to stop here. Both for scenery and for hiking. So glad we did - it was incredibly beautiful. Our "hike" was of the flip-flop variety, so we were there primarily to view (and photograph) the incredible rock formations and surrounding vegetation. Hope to return some day, and would definitely recommend visiting if you are on the fence.

This was a very unique trip and I’m so glad I went. I’ll make this review simple with pros and cons.Pros: Very unique, there’s not really a sense of direction so you can go climb anywhere (at your own risk), very cheap / free depending on if you’re camping or just hiking / camping; they had restrooms that were easily found, and lastly the views and overall area was just so nice and well kept. Great place for those who want to throw an event, camp, or even just climb!Cons: Figuring out where to go or park was very confusing, the place is very popular so camping spots are kind of hard to get, the one section is all dirt road and not meant for sedans or low to the ground cars, there wasn’t really any markers or trails so getting lost is quite common, lastly it genuinely is dangerous so please be careful when climbing (I myself fell but I’m okay)Overall: 3.95/5.00, would recommend!

Greta place for camping and hiking. I've been coming here for a very long time and I really enjoy it, it's just a great place to go to get out whether it's for a day trip or for a few days. I would definitely recommend coming up here, the wildlife up here is also just as beautiful as I've seen deer elk moose Etc :)

This place never gets old. Every time I come up, I feel like it's the first. I just love rocks.

We stayed here for about a week I think. Totally free but there is a campground you can stay at as well for a small fee. They have bathrooms but no showers that I know of. We saw a mother and baby moose rooming the right in front of our site which was site 3 on the left of the main road.

This is a climber’s paradise. I didn’t have enough time to do an actual hike or climb, but I did get a chance to get a decent look around and it was so beautiful. It’s definitely a spot that is well taken care of, but popular. Absolutely stop here whether you’re driving by or want to stay for a few days. The sites themselves are beautiful.

This nationally renowned climbing destination has excellent dispersed camping. The sites are widely spaced and private. There is a fire pit at each site, but no electrical or water hookups. There’s at least one pit toilet in the area. Most of the sites have amazing views of the granite hoodoos and outcroppings. Road condition is generally good.

I've been going here for years and it's absolutely my favorite place on Earth. Once in awhile you'll come across wildlife and the trails are gorgeous. Fun place to hike, picnic, rock climb, anything! Love this place so much!!

This place is beautiful! My wife and I had been here years ago, the kids loved it. We used it as a short break on our cross-country trek. There are places where it is easy to climb and more difficult places. Being out in nature is always amazing.

Absolutely unreal how beautiful this place is! Was definitely a huge reason for visiting and then living in Laramie for a while.The combination of the rocks, the colors, the sky, grass, and all the trails are what makes it so special all year round.

It’s sad that the University of Wyoming sports program cant fight/try harder for the Wyoming Cowgirls to play at home I know they have enough money. It’s sad that they don’t care if we loose. I give you guys 0 stars. What a joke it is here…

VETERANS BEWARE!! THIS SCHOOL DOES NOT CARE IF YOUVE SERVED AND WILL NOT HELP YOU!I am a veteran and decided to use my GI Bill during the COVID lock down to pursue an education in engineering at UW. I spoke with multiple faculty members before classes started letting them know that this was my first stint at an actual university. I was excited but also ignorant and I made sure to let them know so I didn't let anything slip through the cracks. I'd lived in Wyoming for the past 3+ years as a govt contractor and had proof through taxes and lease agreements. They charged me as a non-resident and never informed me. I worked extremely hard and passed all of my classes! Over the years I've jumped through hopes with the VA and their billing department to no avail. Nobody will help me and now I'm almost $7000 in debt for schooling (and thats for only 1 semester!!!) I had already paid for with my time in service and my own money while in the service. This school could care less about it's veterans or the free money they get for us choosing their school. I'd give 0 stars if I could.

I made some memories for life at Laramie . Sorry this is the place to rate the University, I would say the University is better than average. Student-teacher ratio is great! No huge classes. Great for graduate level research and teaching.I got my PhD in Education from UW. It's been great experience. I had opportunities of working on several research projects with some renowned scholars. It was great experience overall. I am an international student.I will never forget the warmth I received from the local people. Loved it!

Highly aggressive ticketing in parking lots. Don't scratch your parking card incorrectly. Don't leave your car for a second without a parking card. Don't park in "U" instead of "brown." They make it confusing to maximize ticketing revenue in an unethical way.

Pros: Living in dorms whole time was great could walk to all classes easily within few minutes & could take underground tunnel to Washakie Dinning cafeteria buffet to stay out of snow on weekends. Marching band was great place for making friends & attending sporting events free since has such a mix of different majors from people taking it just for fun as well as the required music majors.Cons: Must pay for permit to park on campus. Cold wind & snow possible at all time of year, unlikely but even in summers. Poor career advice...depending on your major you may be required to have a counselor approve your next classes before your sign up but if you pick a major that's too hard for your & have trouble w/the classes none of the staff will be honest with you about changing majors you have to make that call yourself no matter how much tuition or time wasted (Organic Chemistry). Lining up a job you're totally on your own, the senior level English course is mainly about how to write a resume but beyond that it's all on you.

Absolutely beautiful fantastic campus friendly easy to navigate! There for music festival with my granddaughter from East high school Cheyenne Wyoming!

I called to get the name of the person in the GED testing center and she was extremely rude and should not be talking to people like she dose. Her name is Nichole prehoda. When I called back to file a complaint he operator sent me to Nichole again instead of someone I could file my complaint with

The west side is nice, very walkable and less windy than the rest of the city. And, of course, a great university. The price is great for what you're getting. It is a wonderful university.

I strongly discourage anyone from attending this school. The service that you get when enrolling leaves a great deal to be desired. This could be because they have a monopoly in WY. After expressly stating the classes I needed to take my Advisor planned a path with none of the classes I needed. Their reason was most people just want to graduate. The advisor and financial aid office was aware I was still finishing my Associates before the term started. Then the financial aid office refused to release my financial aid till I gave them proof of my Associates. I requested to have all of my classes dropped and be removed from school because it was turning into a circus and the registrars office said they did that. I found out weeks later that not only had they not withdrawn me from the classes but they instead decided to finally process the financial aid 3 months too late. If you want drama, a circus, confusion, terrible service, or financial issues this is the school for you. If you don't then go else where.

Great University and great professors. If someone doesn’t like it or find it difficult to make it there then they need to look at what they are doing

Very pretty campus. Pronghorn roaming campus on gameday! Friendly students. Great, free Geology and Art Museums. Affordable!! Very competitive D1 sports.

Simply the best School ever!! Second to no one and really this is the truth! Once a Cowboy always a Cowboy.

University is awesome. Carefully select the courses for graduate studies.

Who in their right mind would admit a biological MALE into a SORORITY?! Have the leaders of this university lost their freaking minds?! Only psychopaths would coerce a group of women to accept a man into their sorority. This is an absolute SHAME and an OUTRAGE! As the saying goes, "Go woke, get broke!" I read in the news that the women in that sorority filed a lawsuit against the school. Good for them! We all need to stand up and do what's right!

This is REALLY cool historic place! They restored it really well with how badly worn down the building was. They had really easy to read brochures to help a person take a quick and easy tour by themselves. They are still adding to the site which is exciting. My young kids really enjoyed coming too.

Great little place to see! Very interesting and love that the tour is self guided with people placed at various places to answer questions. The only comment I have that could be construed as negative would just be to get the "staff" to be a bit more excited and interactive. I had to ask if one of them worked there due to them acting detached. If this changes it will literally be top notch.

Great small museum, easily see it all in an hour or so. The main prison building has been restored beautifully. Lots of other buildings to look through too.

WOW! This must be the cleanest historic site I’ve seen in Wyoming. I had the privilege to speak to some of the maintenance staff, and boy are they passionate about this job. They put their blood sweat and tears into preserving this historic monument. They certainly do deserve a pizza party!

This place is amazing and worth the visit. There is a lot to see, so plan on a half day visit to get a lot of it visited. There is lots of photos and reading to get you through, also tour guides.There is some prisoners mugshots with stories that sucked me into.

Cool structure especially when it is foggy out. You might even see a coyote running around. They love that big patch of land in front of the prison.

Nine dollar entrance for adults, self guided tour of the prison. That’s great information and photos and exhibits. Love this place. It took me about an hour to visit almost everything, nobody else was there when I was. There is a second floor and you can use elevator if needed.

I knew we would enjoy this museum but I was surprised how much there was. Not only do you get to learn about the jail itself, they also talk about how it was used when it was no longer a jail. Like how they did scientific research and even judge sheep competitions.

What a gem of a local museum! There is fascinating history here from the early days of the Wyoming territory and colorful people who spent time in the prison. The staff was very helpful and took the time to share history about Butch Cassidy and the Sundance kid. We took our time on the self guided tour option reading many display areas history.

It is a great place to learn about how the process of handling prisoners was done and the day to day operation of the prison. You can read about some well-known people inside these walls.

This is where you have to go when you visit Laramie! A picture into the world of the outlaw of the Territorial West. I especially liked the write ups about the prisoners - both men and women, the crimes they committed, sentencing and tidbits about after being incarcerated. I’d recommend a couple of hours here. The fee is nominal for what you get- warden’s house tour, jail, industry building, mock-up of city and more! We wished we could take a broom home with us on the plane! So cool! (They’re for purchase in the gift shop!) Not a stop for dinner or lunch but they have snacks things and bottled drinks for consumption in the gift shop. Loved touring the archaeological digs inside the jail - seeing the renovations made. Highly recommend.

Interesting museum with lots to see! It's a great value for families as ticket prices are $9/adult and kids are free! The tour is self-guided. At the gift shop, you are given brochure with a map of the prison grounds and details about each building. The main prison is the highlight of the tour with multiple rooms to see: intake, bathing, infirmary, cell blocks, dining hall, etc... There is a special display on Butch Cassidy and a wide array of old-fashioned guns and artifacts. Along the wall, there are mugshots of prisoners with a brief story about each. My kiddos favorite part was going inside a prison cell and climbing into the stage coach outside. There is also the broom factory where many inmates worked. You can see all the equipment they used to make brooms and watch an educational video.All in all we spent about 90 minutes touring, but it could take longer if you stop to read the information posted near every display. The grounds were clean. The staff was friendly. There was ample parking.

This is one of my favorite historic sites in Wyoming. I have been visiting since I was a child, take my family now, and have my history students tour for a field trip! As a school group, this has to be the best experience I've had for a historical site. The guides are knowledgeable and very skilled at keeping the attention of students. Also, they have always been fun and tailored the content just right for the age group. When I visited with my family, we loved being able to pace ourselves and explore without feeling rushed. The priority Wyoming has in preserving history and investing in landmarks is evident in the preservation and displays at the prison.

Nice museum with lots to see and learn about the prisons history. We took the tour and our guide was knowledgeable and funny, however, it was a bit too long. Recommend condensing the talk tour to about 30 minutes. People can always retrace steps and read the detailed plaques and exhibits.

The state did a fantastic job rehabilitating the prison to reflect the historical structure, and has added many interesting details based on research of former inmates. It's an awesome time capsule back to the late 1800s and early 1900s in the west. The staff also provides tours that provide a lot of extra interesting details and stories, but they've also done a great job providing enough materials for a person to do a self-guided tour.

Really interesting, historic stop in Laramie. Once housed Butch Cassidy. One of the more interesting things to do in the area. Great way to spend time as a break from nearby camping.

If you’re visiting Laramie this should be top on your list of things to do. Fascinating history here. The walking tour is self guided and I enjoyed that. There was quite a bit to see from the prison cells, BREIT factory, wardens home, and building displaying how the university used the grounds.

Would be better to see during warmer months, when all exhibits can be appreciated. Loved we did see.

Great place with a lot of history! The self guided tour is mapped out to where you know where to go next. Wonderful staff too.

Very cool place with lots of interesting history. The tour was good, but I think we would have preferred walking through on our own so we could read more.A lot felt too renovated (understandable), but it did take away some of the awe.Cute gift shop, friendly staff, and had a pressed penny machine! Sadly only one design though.

Don't be like us - we thought 3 hours would be plenty of time to see the inside of an abandoned prison. WRONG for two reasons: (1) there are many other buildings besides the actual prison, and many have stuff to see inside; (2) there is a lot of history - especially outlaw history, duh - presented by many poster-sized photos of inmates with their individual stories, plus maps and some historic items. Oh yeah, there's also a guided tour you can take; I recommend it. And finally, there's a gift shop; my wife bought a book of old WANTED posters and has really been enjoying the colorful way outlaws used to be described!Pro Tip: bug spray. Mosquitos made us miserable until we used it.

Fascinating place, full of history! Very well restored and presented for all ages to enjoy. There is a gift shop on site with interesting items. The self guided tour requires about 2 hours, depending on how much time you spend at each exhibit.

Nice, historical spot in Laramie. Offer self guided tours or you can explore with a guide. Lots of history here and the experience is well worth the entrance fee.

This place was amazing! A must-see and explore with the family! We homeschool, and the boys really enjoyed learning about this place. In the summer, they teach u how to make your own broom! So cool. So we definitely will return!

Being a history nerd, this place was of special interest to my wife and I. We tagged along an official tour guide who knew his stuff. It's great to learn the history things and places, and ALOT went on here. Butch Caddywas her for a few years, among many others... I had no idea that broom making was such a big business here!! Plan on at least an hour and a half... There are stories on maybe 25+ inmates who were here, plus a whole section Butch Cassidy as well... 👍👍👍👍

This place is amazing. Lots of room to pull in and wait in line if needed. There's non-potable water to rinse your tank, potable water to fill your tank, easy access to the dump station...perfect! PLEASE pay your $10 fee in order to support this dump station being available to us in the future! Oh and be patient and considerate when there's a line! 😏🩵🩷

A must visit if ever in the area. Interesting exhibits with fascinating history. Well worth the ticket price.

Great experience learning the history of the only federal penitentiary ever built in Wyoming. Definitely worth stopping and visiting if you're in the area.
