+21 other lists

What a gem. For a national park the amount of people visiting was less than i expected, which was great for me. Stunning and breathtaking. But you need to experience it yourself to fully appreciate it. The gunnison trail wilderness permit goes fast and can be reserved the previous day at 330pm. First come first serve. The Warner trail is strenuous. Be prepared for steep grades and loose dirt and rocks. Also trekking poles would help immensely. This is a full day hike or an overnight there and back trail. Lots of upper rim trails that have very little elevation gain. This park is worth the visit.

The Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park is a remarkable destination for nature lovers and outdoor enthusiasts. Located in Colorado, this park is known for its dramatic and steep-walled canyon carved by the Gunnison River over millions of years.The park offers breathtaking viewpoints that provide awe-inspiring vistas of the canyon and its sheer cliffs. The dark, narrow gorge is an impressive sight, with its rugged rock formations and the river flowing far below. Visitors can explore several hiking trails that lead to different overlooks, each offering unique perspectives of the canyon's beauty.For those seeking adventure, the park provides opportunities for rock climbing, fishing, and kayaking. Camping is also available, allowing visitors to spend more time immersed in the natural surroundings. Wildlife enthusiasts will appreciate the chance to spot various bird species, including eagles and falcons, as well as mule deer and other wildlife that call the park home.It's worth noting that the Black Canyon is known for its steep terrain and challenging hiking conditions. Visitors should exercise caution and adhere to park regulations for their safety.Overall, Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park offers a captivating and rugged wilderness experience. Whether you're an avid hiker, a nature photographer, or simply someone who appreciates the wonders of the natural world, this park is sure to leave a lasting impression.

Awesome views! If you are scared of heights, stay away from the edge of the canyon. Most of the edges almost complete drop-off areas. Roads through this national park are also very windy, so make sure to be careful driving through the park as many areas also are pretty close to drop-off areas with little guard rails.

A beautiful, small national park that not many people know about. An amazing canyon carved by the Gunnison River, up to around 2700' deep, and impressive vertical walls. The park has a developed campground, plus backcountry ones as well. I wish it had more trails, specially one that went to the bottom by the river. You can do it, but you need a permit and there is no developed trail, so you must do it relying only on your own skills. Otherwise, as spectacular as all other national parks!

Black Canyon is an amazing underated park and absolutely gorgeous. Most overlooks are fairly easy to reach and ranger programs occur daily. Note that there is currently construction near the entrance that can cause some wait times but the rest of the park is good to go.

Incredible sunsets, and little brother to the grand canyon.Walls are steeper and make it hard to see the valley below, adding the the unique nature of this place.Avoid crowds and go in off season to soak in the full spirit of the place. Not many accomodations nearby.

What an amazing place. One of the nicest places to visit in the western portion of Colorado. A definite must see. The vista views are spectacular. Don't believe the yards the signs tell you to walk to see the sight. They are further than what's posted on the signs.

Not the most popular of National Parks, but still very scenic. Didn't really have the opportunity to hike down into the canyon. I think you might need a wilderness permit for that sort of thing. But you can drive along the ridge and stop at a few scenic places that take you up to the edge.

This isn't a park just anyone can drive through and appreciate. We were too large to drive the portal road. You need to park at the scenic view areas and walk to the viewing areas to really experience the park. Beautiful views. Definitely worth a visit. If you have mobility issues this park may be a challenge.

Best National Park I’ve ever been to! Every lookout has something unique of the canyon to offer and you can see and hear the river from almost all of them. Slow down and look for wildlife along the trails and all around the park, there’s a lot. South Rim Visitor Center is very informative and interesting. I also suggest go up to Highway 92 and do those overlooks on the north. Pioneer Point and Hermits Rest are awesome. Black Canyon will capture your heart.

Absolutely gorgeous spot. The drive down the canyon is also 100% worth it! I recommend going here if you have the time any day!! Fishing is also supposed pretty fruitful in the river here.

Absolutely breathtaking. One of my favorite spots in Colorado for stunning views and peaceful serenity. I would recommend the Warner Point hike if you are up for it. The Echoes are insane from up there, short hike that’s definitely worth the view!

Don't miss the North side... especially the 1.5 mile hike (3 miles round trip) to Exclamation Point! Absolutely gorgeous! I get goose bumps every time I look down from the edge.

One of the most underrated national parks. The sheer drop offs from the outlooks were stunning. The north rim is significantly less crowded than the south rim. If you do make the drive up north, make sure to hike the North Vista trail up to Green Mountain and stop at Exclamation Point. In the south rim, we were able to secure a wilderness permit and hike down into the canyon along the Gunnison Route. Took about 4.5 hours round trip. Extremely technical, steep and slippery but has some of the most beautiful views of the canyon. Talk to a ranger at the visitors center if you are interested in obtaining a permit. There are a ton of drivable outlooks along the road which are worth it. You are able to drive down to the Gunnison River via the East Portal road. Be aware that this drive is extremely steep and curvy. There is NO reception in this park except at high point at the end of the Rim Drive Rd. Overall, this is one of my favorite NPs. It’s not the most popular, but that keeps it less crowded. The night sky here is crystal clear so definitely stay for the stargazing also.

This place is stunning. Standing on the edge of the canyon and looking straight down at the river 1,800' below is breathtaking. There are several overlooks that give great views of different areas of the canyon. The South Rim road has the most. Don't miss the East Portal road. It takes you all the way down to the river on a VERY steep and winding road. No trailers allowed, too many hairpin switchbacks. The campground is good, located just a short stroll from the canyon rim. Walk the rim trail from the campground to the visitor center (1 mile). The views are incredible.

After a July 2023 visit, I should say the Black Canyon of the Gunnison is spectacular and more people should see it. I would give it 5 stars except for the problems we had during our visit. We were driving a 32 ft class C motorhome towing a Chevy Trailblazer. I'm always careful where I go with it since we can get stuck easily, not able to turn around. Well the Ranger at the gate waved us on through and I assumed we could find RV parking and tour the park. Wrong assumption! The so called RV parking at the visitor center was pull in only and it was filled with cars. We made the wrong choice of turning left further into the park instead of right back out of the park. Anyway, by some miracle we found a spot to pull over and disconnect the Chevy, then make a U-turn blocking the road for a time. Both vehicles finally made it down the mountain back to Rt. 50. So bottom line take only a passenger vehicle into the park and hope you can find parking. There is a campground inside the gate where maybe the RV could turn round but is at the beginning.

Absolutely stunning! The campsites were well maintained (although very close together). Ranger was helpful and the trails were well marked and dog friendly and there were bear bins to store food. Campsites in loop B had ADA accessibility, ADA bathrooms and RV electric hookups. Cost is $34 for sites, $30 for vehicle entry to the park (unless you have parks membership/golden acces then they're less). Such a nice getaway. The stars were phenomenal.

Way more than what we thought it was going to be! Worth a trip to see the really cool landscapes. We didn’t have time to stop and hike but so glad we stopped and drove through to see the major outlooks. A lot of the trails we went to were dog friendly as well which was a nice surprise.

My visit to Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park was nothing short of spectacular. Located in western Colorado, this park is a hidden gem that offers some of the most dramatic landscapes I’ve ever seen. The sheer walls of the canyon, carved by the Gunnison River over millions of years, are truly awe-inspiring.The South Rim Road is a must-drive, with numerous overlooks that provide jaw-dropping views of the canyon. Each overlook offers a unique perspective, but Painted Wall and Gunnison Point were my favorites. The depth and narrowness of the canyon are most evident from these points, and it’s hard not to be humbled by the natural beauty.

This is a beautiful area to see. Most of the lookouts are an easy walk from the parking areas along the road. You still need to be a little careful because of loose rocks and dirt, but it's pretty easy to traverse. A couple areas have stairs so just be aware of that if you have any knee issues.

Always check the website and ranger station before venturing out. Great to see even in the winter. Traction gear is recommended as it is slightly icy. Only south rim is open but gorgeous regardless. The visitor center closes at 4.Bathrooms available but vault toilets. No water.

Beautiful and unique sight to behold, it’s hard to see the depth that these canyons are, it was an easy walk from the visitor center to a great overlook. There is some informational content in the visitor center. There is no water up here. Outhouse was clean and heated

So different and so interesting. Having just seen the Grand Canyon and Canyonland, this black canyon was quite a treat. The fissures are crazy and the geology ancient. Great explanations in the visitor center.

Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park is a must-see for any nature lover. The canyon is home to some of the steepest and deepest rock walls in North America, and the views from the rim are simply breathtaking. There are also plenty of opportunities for hiking, camping, and fishing in the park.Here are a few tips for making the most of your visit:Start by visiting the Visitor Center to learn more about the park's geology, history, and wildlife. You can also pick up a map and get recommendations for hiking trails and other activities.Be sure to hike the North Rim Trail to Painted Wall. This colorful rock formation is one of the most popular attractions in the park. The trail is also a great place to see mule deer, bighorn sheep, and other wildlife.If you're looking for a more challenging hike, try the South Rim Trail to Warner Point. This trail offers stunning views of the canyon and the Gunnison River below.Overall, Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park is an amazing place to visit. The canyon is truly unique and offers something for everyone. I highly recommend adding this park to your travel list!

You know what you’re going to see! It’s Black Canyon! Absolutely gorgeous place in summer or winter. If you go in winter, you’ll have to bring your own snowshoes. I was told you can rent them in town. I ended up hiking a few miles just in my snow boots but it was not the funnest of hikes. So yes, please bring some snow shoes. They use to offer them here if you came years ago but they no longer do.If you go in summer, get there early and make sure you check the site for any news. It’s an absolutely gorgeous place to visit and I can’t recommend this place enough! Enjoy.

Beautiful!! This is different than any national park I have seen before! Awesome to drive to the bottom to enjoy a primitive hike on the river. All of the overlooks were astounding! Highly recommend. We stayed in the camp ground in the park, made it so easy!

Very pretty views of valleys containing dark cliff faces with streaks of white interlocked in the rock. The water below is close enough to hear the roar of the river. This is similar to a more intimate Grand Canyon experience.

The beauty of this place cannot be overstated. If you have the chance to go, do it! Rugged mountains, babbling streams, fields of wild flowers, turquoise blue lakes...all within view of the parking lot. If you don't have it in you for a hike, stroll around Maroon Lake, located 5 minutes from the parking lot. There are even a couple benches along the path if you want to sit back and take it in. If you're looking for a short, but rewarding hike, go to Crater Lake (about 3.5 miles round trip).We hiked from the parking lot, past crater lake, and up to buckskin pass. The apple watch gave a round trip distance of 10.5 miles (with some side diversions). Total hike time was about 4.5 hour with stops for snacks and lunch in the pass. We passed a handful of other people, but it never felt overcrowded considering it was a Sunday (though rain was in the forecast).The shuttle service from the Highlands was hassle-free. We took the 8am shuttle to avoid the afternoon rain. They recommend getting there 45 minutes early, but I think 15 would suffice. We sat around for a while waiting to board. At the drop off point there are bathrooms and a covered sitting area for convenience.

Don’t miss these views! The sounds of the rushing water against the background of the snowy mountains are incredible. Take the bus up the mountain and listen to a recorded guide so you can learn about the area as you go or take a bike if you are up to the challenge. There are several trails to hike of varying lengths and difficulties.

What an amazing place. The lake was beautiful. When we went, the wildflowers were blooming. It made the place even more beautiful. We took the four pass loop hike. The whole Maroon Bells - Snowmass wilderness has many more breathtaking views to offer if you opt for hiking.

Heaven on Earth. One of my favorite places to see in Colorful Colorado. Our latest visit was on 10/03/2022. We hiked to Crater Lake and back, and then continued on Maroon Creek Trail. Fall colors are in full bloom.

This place is so beautiful I can’t explain it in my words.. When you were there you would realize that nature is so beautiful and you feel so clam and relaxed. Definitely worth to seeing 👍🏻👍🏻

One of the best fall seasonal places in CO! We booked bus reservation to the bells, which was on time and overall had a fun walking and hiking around the trail with golden yellow aspens all around.

Stunning; a must-see! This was one of our favorite experiences on the trip out to Colorado. With its beautiful lake and trails, we enjoyed it tremendously. The only thing was the flies; there were so many of them! It was insane how many there were. Some of these insects also bite.Other than those bugs, the view of the practically rusting mountains will stay with me forever. The pictures you are able to get and the life you see are some of the best in the parks around. Overall, I absolutely recommend this place and the trails it offers. Bring a camera!8/10

The Maroon Peaks were an amazing site from the lake, and the parking area was surrounded by several other beautiful and unique peaks. Rain and snow the night prior left the sky cloudy, the ground wet, and the air cold so I would definitely like to come back to see everything in the other seasons.You are supposed to make parking reservations ($10) or included with an Annual parks pass and supposedly arrive between midnight and 8am. However, the park ranger station didn’t seem to open up until ~7:30 - ~8am.Despite the tickets being almost sold out when I made reservations (Back in May!) there were only a handful of other people there before we left. There were people coming in after 8am when we were leaving. This may be because of how late in the season we came and the rangers may be there earlier and be more strict during warmer months when they expect to have more visitors.

So I booked a parking reservation to the Maroon Bells months in advance and as I got closer to the date we realized that you need to be parked there before 8 am to have driving access to the park. That unfortunately wasn't going to be possible for us this trip. Out of pure coincidence, instead of visiting Maroon Bells, we ended up hiking up to the Elk Camp Summit the day of our reservation and much to my surprise we got the stunning views of the Bells away! What a great thing to keep in mind if you don't have time to make it over to the Maroon Bells. You can just take the Elk Camp lift or hike up to the Elk Camp summit at Snowmass and get the amazing views. Just make sure to bring a camera that has a nice zoom feature.

Title: A Majestic Escape to Maroon Bells, Colorado!😍Review:I had the incredible opportunity to visit Maroon Bells, Colorado, and it was an absolute dream come true! Nestled amidst the rugged Rocky Mountains, Maroon Bells is a true gem of natural beauty that left me awe-inspired at every turn.The iconic twin peaks, reflected in the crystal-clear Maroon Lake, create a picture-perfect scene that belongs on a postcard.The hiking trails cater to all levels of expertise, providing ample opportunities to immerse oneself in nature. As I ventured along the trails, I was greeted by towering aspen groves, wildflower meadows, and majestic evergreen forests. The air was crisp, the sound of birdsong filled the air, and the tranquility was unmatched.The visitor center staff were friendly and knowledgeable, offering insights and suggestions for making the most of my time at Maroon Bells. The facilities were well-maintained, ensuring a comfortable experience for all visitors.If you're seeking a nature lover's paradise, Maroon Bells is an absolute must-visit destination. I left feeling rejuvenated, inspired, and in awe of the incredible beauty that nature has to offer.

I loved this place! There weren't many people when my family and I went, and the hiking trails were perfect. I would recommend coming here to anyone. My favorite part was the perfect length hiking trail, we saw so many deer, and my husband loved bird watching. Along the hike, there are streams and beautiful ponds of water. Im definitely coming back again.

Absolutely reserve ahead. Need reservation. Beautiful. A lot of animals.

Wow, the Four Pass Loop in Colorado is an epic adventure! Went for a 3-day hike and it's no joke, but the views are totally worth it. Each pass felt like a huge accomplishment, with awesome panoramas at the top that make you forget about the grueling uphill.Day 1 was the toughest uphill, going up buckskin pass. The altitude can hit you, so don't underestimate it. Camped at snowmass lake, totally beautiful, but somewhat crowded.Day 2 was the biggest downhill challenge: I went up and over trail rider pass, and the downhill was Exhausting but exhilarating! Wildflowers were in bloom and the views were picture-perfect. You really feel like you're walking on top of the world.Day 3 I covered the final two passes, Frigid Air and West Maroon.The longest of the three days, but the climbs steep, but not as long. I made it back down safe and sound, though, with a sense of accomplishment that's hard to describe.If you're looking for a hike that challenges you but gives back tenfold in awe-inspiring scenery, this is it. Just make sure you're prepared—physically and gear-wise. This trail doesn't mess around!

Stunning!!This beautiful piece of land is heavenly. And the fall colors add to the beauty.You need bus service reservations to visit the Maroon bells, they do allow people without reservations to board the bus only after the reserved seats are occupied. I visited on a Sunday morning without reservation, but still was able to board the bus quickly.You can bike to the area but it’s a bit far.

The area is really beautiful! It’s a great opportunity to see wildlife and enjoy the scenic views all around. In my opinion, it’s slightly overrated. Colorado is full of amazing scenery and this site just seemed okay in comparison to everything Colorado has to offer.

Standing at the heart of the Maroon Bells, Colorado's iconic twin peaks, I found myself immersed in a world of natural wonder that exceeded all expectations. The early morning air was crisp and clean, and the scent of pine trees surrounded me as I gazed upon the mirrored perfection of Maroon Lake. The water's surface was so still that it seemed like a flawless reflection of the towering, snow-capped Maroon Peaks above.As I embarked on a serene hike along the Crater Lake Trail, the vibrant aspen leaves painted the landscape with shades of gold and crimson, a breathtaking autumn tapestry. The trail wound through groves of quaking aspens and fragrant evergreen forests, offering a symphony of nature's sounds – the rustling of leaves, the gentle babble of streams, and the occasional chirping of birds.The experience of Maroon Bells, Colorado, was a reminder of the Earth's incredible beauty and its ability to inspire profound awe. It was a moment of perfect stillness, natural splendor, and a deep connection to the great outdoors, etching an indelible memory of serenity and wonder into my soul.

Incredible spot. Fall colors with reflection of the peaks in the lake is an experience. Take the public shuttle from Aspen Highlands to reach this place, and a small walk from where the shuttle stops.

Heaven is the only right word. This place is so beautiful and awesome especially during the fall. Try to reserve your spot otherwise you have to get entry during morning hours between 6AM to 8Am. Campsites are excellent and you can see lots of stars and have a great time here. I highly recommend visiting this place.

Maroon Bells was a bucket list achievement for me. I always saw pictures and videos of this beautiful area in the summer. However, winter is equally beautiful and you can ice skate ⛸️ on the lake when its frozen!Absolutely beautiful and wonderful experience and hike. Can you spot the rock formation of the howling coyote between the two peaks?The views at Maroon Bells are stunning and breathtaking anytime of year. In the summer and fall, it is most popular and requires a pass and shuttle ride. For a short time in the winter, it is FREE and doesn't require reservations but it is first come first serve.

This place is amazing! Always has been a place to go growing up and now going back the fall is still beautiful. Very refreshing to feel the coolness of the water, putting your feet into the water below the bridge is a must. There are sweet little chipmunks around too. Very friendly. Nice hiking trails and bring something to drink too because it's warm.

Highly recommend! This is one awesome family hike. The water is beautiful and the falls are spectacular. Multiple trails to choose from and cool bridge at the bottom. Flowers, birds, chipmunks… lots of wildlife and natural beauty. There are even picnic tables and restrooms. It’s $5 for the day but well worth it for some lasting memories. We will be back.

We took the trail to the uranium mine. It was an excellent choice. The trail is Rocky and steep in places, especially in the beginning, but levels out significantly about 2/5 the way in. There's a good view of the falls at that point too. The vegetation changes past half, and was a delight in early September with the start of autumn. The mine entrance itself is gated off and nothing special. It took us about 90 minutes round trip, stopping for pictures and a sit down snack by the mine. The view from the mine was very good as well.

we spent a nice morning hiking around the Fish Creek trail. The trail to the lower falls is very accessible for most people! It is flat and paved. If you’d like, you can take a short walk downhill to a nice bridge that will give you a nice view from down below the falls. It is a $5 entrance fee to get to this hike.

Fish Creek Falls, Steamboat CO. 06/28 Best time to visit is early in the morning. You get the place to yourself, it's amazing, easy little hike with a big payout. Kid and family friendly.

Such a beautiful place! Even this early in the year. The trees are all still in winter mode, and there was snow in patches here and there... The lower path was closed due to the amount of snow (didn't stop several people from going there). The falls were gorgeous and full! Lots of melt going on right now! Beautiful little Glacier Lillies and a few petite gnomes someone seeded in some nooks! Great, gentle walk, too!

A must visit while in Steamboat, the bridge is currently closed but the parking is easy and there are easy and moderate hike options. The first two trails are easy one is paved and one is not but both are small and will get you started. There are picnic areas and restrooms and great signage.

Very peaceful place. Nice drive up. Trails are easy for fit people. If you're fat, like me, just take your time. Carefully walk up inclines backward for an easier climb. You'll enjoy it.

Why wouldn't you visit a 200 foot waterfall? There are some very nice trails for those who would like to see the falls without significant effort or for some reason, can't get to the base. If you want a more moderate hike, go to the base of the lower falls. For a three hour strenuous hike, you can go about 2 miles to the upper falls. It spectacular but arduous. Bring plenty of water and snacks!

Absolutely beautiful place! The trailer edge is a bit more steep than I feel comfortable letting my kids walk near but aside from that it was clean, not packed, and peaceful to visit

What a memorable and beautiful snow hike. Perfect for anyone who isn’t very fit but they want to get an easy hiking experience.

Great first walk to acclimate to the area. Extremely simple with well defined paths. Path beyond the falls still closed due to snow (May 11th).

Absolutely awesome! Our special needs Daughter loved to throw a stone or two in the river over the historic Bridge. Amazing views from both the top and bottom. It's ever so worth the short hike through the mountain view trails.

This place is beautiful. We went there because Hubby is in a scooter and we wanted an accessible trail. It turned out that it was perfect for the scooter. If you are in a wheelchair and pushing someone, the trail to the picnic area I think is too hard to try and push uphill. The path to the falls would be fine. Don't miss this spot, it is absolutely worth driving too.

A beautiful trail that is a top outing in Steamboat. Easy, short walk to bottom.of falls. accessible to almost anyone. but continue past the falls and trail is steady 8 to 12 % grade and footing not great. lots of rocks and roots. pretty shady most of the 2 miles to the top of falls. another 2 miles to lake.

Short hike down to base of falls. Snowpack blocked the trail to the upper falls. There is also a wheelchair accessible path with views of the falls and surrounding valley

Beautiful and easy hike (there is wheelchair path, but I personally didn't look for it). Gorgeous falls, and you can actually get to the water just below falls if you want to. I would definitely return.

Beautiful falls located in a stunning forest. Several trails to choose from ranked easy to difficult. The easy path was paved. Picnic tables and bench rests throughout park. Parking is minimal. Self-pay posts for entry fees ($5).

There was a small entry fee at the gate ($5?), which provided access to both upper and lower falls parking. Toilet houses both at trail head, and out on the trail at one point. There are a combination of paved cement, blacktop, and dirt trails for a variety of experience levels. The falls however if the most phenomenal part and can be viewed in under 0.5 miles of gentle walking (upper falls) on paved trails. The trip to the lower falls has some steeper inclines, dirt and rock laden paths, which would not be handicap accessible, but if you can handle it, the views are incomparable. From the lower falls you can access even more challenging routes if you opt to pursue.

Nice walk along Overlook trail to see and hear the falls.Disappointed that the trail to the bridge is blocked by high snow bank at parking lot

A gorgeous stop whenever I visit Da Boat. A nice paved path to the viewing point, easy walk. The trail down to the bridge is gravel and a moderate level. I think those with difficulty walking can do it and take it slow. But spectacular views from the view point, you are just up close and personable by the bridge (bummer it was closed for us!) Great scenery all around and especially lucky with all the green trees! Beautiful pictures to be had anywhere in the park!

Absolutely love this resort. We've been here twice so far for conferences, and we really enjoy staying here. They need to know to not take away the coffee too early for a bunch of Lutheran pastors and their families! Also, the little store inside the conference center did not have much change, so we either had to use a card or have exact change.

I had the pleasure of snowboarding at Breckenridge Ski Resort when I was living in Colorado Springs and I must say, it was an incredible experience. The resort is massive, with a vast array of runs catering to all skill levels, from beginners to advanced enthusiasts. The scenery is breathtaking, with stunning views of the surrounding mountains and forests. The lifts are efficient and the staff is friendly and helpful, making for a seamless and enjoyable experience.What really sets Breckenridge apart, however, is the vibrant atmosphere and après-ski scene. The quaint town is filled with charming shops, restaurants, and bars, and the ski village itself is buzzing with energy and excitement. Whether you're looking to relax with a warm drink by the fire or party the night away with friends, Breckenridge has something for everyone.Overall, I highly recommend Breckenridge Ski Resort to anyone looking for an unforgettable ski vacation. The combination of world-class skiing, stunning scenery, and lively atmosphere make for an experience that is truly second to none.

This was a very fun experience, just a little pricy. About $45.00 per person per activity. They did have unlimited for $80.00, I believe. It was worth it though because the kids had an absolute blast! So did mom and dad I can't lie.it took about 15 min to get up with the gondola. The alpine coaster was freaking awesome!!!!!! We did not take the ski lift up to the scenic view because we did not have time. The kids also did the bungee jumping on the trampoline they liked it a lot! The food and snacks are pretty expensive. I recommend bringing your own food and drinks. Amazing atmosphere!

Awesome resort! Beautiful views and great runs. There is a good variety of difficulty here, so it’s perfect for any skill level. In my time here, lift lines were non existent. With a great mountain and the town so close, Breckinridge resort is a great place to visit!

Lots of ski options, queues not to bad and we'll staffed/managed to keep things moving. Good variety of slopes for all levels and some good practice areas for beginners. We had a pass for 4 days and there was lots of slopes we didn't get to try out. Battled a little with the altitude but overall we loved it. Breckenridge town was also very attractive and welcoming.

The best skiing experience ever! High alpine as well as beginner and moderate runs. Get the Epic pass to get the best bang for your buck. Lines on weekends get crazy after 10a, but mid week is incredible. The resort has excellent customer service, and they go over and above on a regular basis. Be ready to experience high winds that can limit high alpine accessibility. It's a good idea to check the weather ahead of time. Also, download the Epic app that has maps and wait times for all lifts.

A wonderful area both in winter and summer. Plenty of activities for the entire family. Great runs for all levels of skiers. In the summer, there are plenty of outdoor activities ,from bicycling to white water rafting and hiking. The landscape and views are breathtaking. Shopping and dining are plentiful. There is a City market which is very convenient to purchase food and other items to make your vacation complete. Definitely a worthwhile vacation spot.

My first time up to the ski resort and we were up here for the ice sculptures contest. It was fantastic. My family who lives in Colorado wanted to show me around the ski resort. Beautiful place. Love all the shops and the gondola ride. Even got to see the cool wood troll. Next time we will have to try the skiing. But I wanted to give a shout out to one of your employees who worked for the event staff of the ice sculptures. She was very kind and helpful. She helped take pictures of our group and even gave the kids and us event ice sculpture patches. They are so cool. She has wonderful customer services skills. Her name is Bambi and we all appreciated her friendly and helpful nature. We will go there again. Great beautiful place. The Mexican restaurant we ate at was great also. Good good.

Lodging: We stayed at Main Street Station in a Vacasa rental. Condo was comfy (loved that it has a fire place, a balcony, and a large bathtub). Bed was not very comfy and it’s time to replace the pillows. A big plus for the humidifier in our condo. Talk about a life saver for someone who is not accustomed to the lovely dry weather on this beautiful mountain. Oh and the laundry facilities were free (make sure to bring your own detergent).Perfect location to be. Walking distance to Main Street (where all the shops, restaurants, and grocery store is), and super close to one of the lifts to have your fun in the snow.Snowboarding lesson and Rental: *I give it a 3.5 stars*I took a group lesson. I’m not sure if this is normal but the group was really big for one instructor (1 instructor for 9 students). It felt like a cluster, once the class started to get smaller the instructor was able to provide more attention to the group.For example my bindings were loose and was not checked (neither from the gear rental place or instructors) until we got up the mountain after asking the instructor if the tightness was correct (it felt loose and had no control on the board). Again not sure if this is normal but as a first timer that felt unsafe.Now, it’s a good price when getting gear including a helmet (I highly recommend getting one), lift ticket, and a lesson. Just wished staff (rental & instructors) would take the time to ensure their students are set up correctly especially those that are trying this out for the first time and have no knowledge of how gear should be set up.

Absolutely beautiful! Perfect for friends or family. This place is a paradise in the mountains. Try and go when the weather is clear to see the mountains and gorgeous views better. Food and resorts are stupendous. 34 resorts on the ski pass with over 100+ slopes to. House from. Easily the best skiing in the U.S. 10 stars. Going again next year.

Wow! Amazing Resort and great people and Staff. Breck is an amazing town with many great spots. The resort itself is great however still EPIC… this leaves tighter regulation and higher prices for everyone. Otherwise I could not recommend more. Very family oriented with tons of rolling groomer runs, while still having high altitude and great steeps.

This is a nice ski resort offering a white selection of beginner, intermediate and advanced runs. You will find the ski resort spread out over many peaks and if your skin with a group, it may take a little while to get back together for something like lunch. That being said, you should enjoy yourself at this resort.

The mountain:I went skiing at Breckenridge in February. When they first open in the morning it’s great, but it quickly gets way too crowded. I had to dodge tons of people when coming down the runs. The lift operators are not very efficient at getting people up the mountain. The lines were long but took longer than needed because they don’t seem to have a good system of filling each chair and quickly moving people through the line (most chairs not full, not pulling people out of line when having issues scanning lift ticket, not helping to merge the lines).Food:Busy lunch areas that are easily accessible from the runs. Higher prices than other resorts in CO, but still comparable. Lots of outdoor seating which is nice when it’s a beautiful day outside.Parking:There was an uncovered pay parking lot available near the gondola loading area.I was there on a Friday, I will have to go back on a weekday and see if the situation is any better.

Disclaimer: my latest trip to this place was during the summer. Little did I know there would be so much to do in this beautiful town, in the summer, given I've visited this town many times during winter. Plenty to do, spectacular scenery, great food, concerts, hiking, biking, kayaking, all of it in very pleasant weather conditions. Plan to return next summer.

A must-see and stay around for a while. The staff, service, and rooms are worth the money. I stayed for two nights in July of 2023. Thank you for the awesome small vacation we had. Whatever you do, make sure you visit the restaurant (the chef) and the staff was awesome.

An awesome ski resort. The staff were great and friendly, the people are extremely friendly, great snow and runs near the first day, and had delicious food here. The weather was nice and sunny. This resort offers epic passes as well. There was no traffic for us on a Sunday Veteran’s Day weekend to and from the resort for us, which was a plus. Overall, I highly recommend this resort for Epic pass users or for anyone!

Been coming to Breck for 25 years and I truly consider it my second home. The resort area is beautiful in winter and summer, but be careful around holidays. It’s very, very busy, and less experienced folks should be cautious when maneuvering the town. Other than that, walking Main Street and finding new spots to try is my favorite thing to do. I’m big on skiing and we always use Blue River Sports for our ski rentals. Been going there so long, they know our names. Make sure to hit the lifts early to avoid lines, but mid week is always best because none of the bases are busy. Parking is hard to find, so walking is always better and it’s more fun! If you have questions, let me know, but coming here for so long and aren’t stopping any time soon!

Best place for a vacation during anytime of the year. My family has visited for the Spring, Fall and Winter season. We absolutely love it here. We feel so relaxed and stress-free when we are here.The staff is always very friendly and informative. The cleanliness of the Resort is absolutely top tier. They truly aim to make you happy. Totally recommend this resort.

This is a great resort to bring the family to. Took my family there and they loved it. Stayed in a lodge not too far. The rentals are fairly easy to rent compared to other ski resorts in New Mexico and California. It’s a great place to go when there are bunch of snow or even during the summer it looks nice in the surrounding areas by the ski resort. Overall 10/10 for me!

I usually go to Keystone but Breck is super nice too. I’ve only gone late season so I can’t say anything about the snow peak season. Many very fun runs on a very large resort. You can ski at heights up to nearly 13000 feet and there is an abundance of bowls, both hiking access and lift access. Some very fun things to jump off of and a wide variety of trails from beautiful glades to technical moguls and high bowls. When I was there I saw the Junior Freeride National Championships (I had no idea they were happening that day) which was super fun to watch. The view from the top of Peak 6 was incredible. Unfortunately, I didn’t hike to the top of Peak 8 because of weather. Snow can get icy and slushy in the spring but that’s to be expected.

We got beginner ski training today. Great instructor named Tommy. We took a half day class. They taught us all the basics of how to stop, turn, put on, and take off the equipment. All the trainers were very nice, informative, and patient. They helped with people of all skill levels and worked with each person separately as well as a group. They maxed out the group 1 trainer to 8 trainees. It was a great time, and I would definitely go back for more training

It was an awesome time! My first trip out west to go snowboarding and was happy we chose Breckenridge. Lots of terrain to choose from and plenty of lifts to keep you out of the lines! Free public transportation throughout the town made it easy to stay parked at the Breck Inn and explore the entire town and mountain. I'm definitely returning!!!

Beautiful mountain scenery, tourist centered atmosphere, and EXPENSIVE 💲💲 💲 I hurt myself and only could watch the rest of my family having wonderful time skiing. I actually did not mind at all. I thought the crown jewel of this small ski resort was what the mother nature is offering us. Just breathing the fresh air, comforting with soothing real image of the great mountain side scenery, and feeling the winter are what I truly needed from my average life, working to protect the society and raising a family. The resort offers great accommodation at a price. I wished the lift tickets were cheaper. With EPIC deal, I found the lift tickets for half off and paid $110 per person. My family were baby skiers, so they had to get the lessons. I paid around $330 per person for a full day lesson that included the lift ticket and the equipment rental. Now, if you are getting the ski lessons, Listen Carefully!! The lessons start promptly at 9 am but it will take more than an hour to get your paperwork done and the rental. So, be at the rental office by 8AM, or you will miss the first half hour.

I love Breckenridge Ski Resort! It was too much fun! The instructor who assisted us was Henry. He was super patient with us! This is great for family or even just bonding with your friend. They also have slopes that you can ski depending on your level of expertise, and there are instructors all over that safeguard each guest.

Beautiful lifts, lots of runs. I had a great experience. Everything is well maintained and marked off.Several food options across the different peaks.Great Run variety, plenty of long easy green runs for beginners especially at peak 9. And plenty of blacks and double blacks for the advanced. They've got moguls, a park, back bowls, long runs through the Forrest and more!I would recommend not skiing to the very bottom of the mountain as those lines can get backed up, just hit the middle lifts and you'll be all set!

Breckenridge exceeded all of my expectations! There's really something for everyone on this mountain. I love that you take a gondola out of the town up to the resort. Plenty of break spots throughout the mountain. Peak lodges were so nice and clean. Staff was efficient. Never waited more than 10 mins in a lift line. I can't wait to go back!

What a lovely hidden gem off 70. Came out to CO for a family getaway to ski this season and decided to check out some different resorts than what we typically ski. Winter Park turned out to be not only our favorite of the week, but we found the resort to be nice, the staff to be friendly and the mountain to have a lot of great terrain. Our favorite runs were Mary Jane, Edelweiss, Forget-Me-Not on the Mary Jane portion of the mountain. This is an area of only blues and blacks. Not made for beginner skiers. The other portion of the mountain is wonderful also. We loved March Hare & White Rabbit. Of course use Village Way to get back to the main base are, but pay attention to signs. If you take Turnpike to get back to the gondola, you’ll be on some flat ground that will be more difficult - the parking garage is a great option for close parking. The free lot is great as well though. Take the gondola from the lot over to the base. Enjoy your time there! It’s fun!

My hometown mountain. They allow ski bikes and everything else. Love the varying terrain from park side to Jane side. Spent 10 years here. It's home.Any holiday, the lift lines are insane but once you get mid mountain, it isn't so bad.

I didn’t stay at the hotel but Winter Park is a great ski area. I assumed that because of its proximity to Denver that it wouldn’t be that impressive. I was so wrong. The winding road takes you to a location that is beautifully nestled in the mountains and every view is stunning. The lift workers were efficient at getting people up the mountain. There are plenty of options for food. I ate in the food court area and prices were reasonable. There is a Starbucks at the base. There is both covered and uncovered on site parking. I will definitely return to Winter Park!

We had the best time. The room at Zephyr was spacious and a great location for our family of five. We took ski lessons with Amanda and our son took snowboarding lessons with Luke which perfectly prepared us for going out on our own the rest of the weekend. We also got to watch the ski competition being held which was so so amazing. We dined at several restaurants on the property with our favorite being the top of the mountain via gondola. Music and incredible views made for a great night! Everyone on staff was friendly and knowledgeable. We’ll definitely be back!

This must be a great place to work. It shows in employee attitudes. They are happy, friendly, welcoming and helpful. Skier safety is emphasized in various locations across the mountain and in the facilities. The grooming seems superior to other resorts as well. There is lots of varied terrain that provides challenging fun no matter skill level. It is simply a fun place to ski.

Amazing resort, plenty of variety including loads of long Blue, Green and Black runs. Fast lifts and if you're willing to choose runs that don't run from the peak you can find empty runs even on the busiest days.In peak season on weekends - GET THERE EARLY. I arrived at 09:30 am (after sitting in traffic from Denver) and all parking in ALL lots including paid garage parking was full.In town at Cooper Creek there is free parking with a shuttle to the mountain but the queue was already at over 50+ people waiting.I'd also recommend bringing your own snacks and water as the lodge food options were absolutely rammed.Queues for the lifts move fast and the busiest lifts are well managed by the staff on hand.

*UPDATE* Winter Park’s travel insurance company, Red Sky, reached back out to me to let me know they’d made a mistake on my claim— after I left a bad review, reported to the BBB for false practices, and emailed them. They let me know that I would receive a refund- it was a simple date entry error on their part. I’m updating the stars on Winter Park to reflect my total experience. I would highly recommend reading the fine print on your travel insurance if purchasing. While my story ended on a positive note, many have not. Read Red Sky’s reviews on Google as well as the BBB before you choose to vacation at Winter Park, as the travel insurance you purchase also applies to any condos/properties owned by them. Skiing is expensive, especially if you live out of town. Do your homework.ORIGINAL REVIEW: I purchased one lift ticket for the 2022-23 season, sustained a back injury and was unable to ski the day I purchased the ticket for. I purchased travel insurance from WP through Red Sky, and ended up making a claim. Although I spoke with an agent several times who assured me I would receive a refund, and had my physician fill out a claim form, Red Sky denied my claim. I hold Winter Park responsible for this poor service from Red Sky. I am a resident of Colorado, and will never ski at this overpriced, irresponsibly managed resort again.

Having visited this resort most of my life, I can confidently say it is one of Colorado's finest. Catering to an array of skill levels, it makes it an ideal place for beginners like myself when I first learned to ski. The winter park side is a little easier and is for all skill levels, whereas the Mary Jane terrain is more suited for intermediate/advanced skiers. What sets this resort apart from others includes the quality of terrain and snow, the location, outstanding customer service, and simplicity. The free parking lot is convenient as you can ride the gondola to the base. On the Mary Jane side, there a parking lot right at the base, allowing you to basically step out of your car and be on the slopes in minutes. Its, worth noting that with the increasing popularity of skiing, the resort gets quite busy and pricy at peak times. I recommend planning your visit for an off-peak weekday to get the full experience. If you ever find the opportunity to visit, take full advantage, embrace the thrill, and take in the breathtaking scenery around you.

Lost my phone on the ski lift. My fault for sure, but I could see where it had fallen, I could see it from the lift. The lift people wouldn't let me duck under the ropes to grab it, nor did anyone lift a finger to help me get it.I could have had it in 20 seconds. Just 20 seconds to stop the lift and grab it.They told me not to worry about it, they'll get it at the end of the day.We came back at the end of the day. No one had bothered to grab it, and over night it was buried in snow. So when we called the next day they said "tough luck"The only ones who seemed to care at all were the ski patrol, so big thanks to those folks for having a second look for us.I could understand if I didn't know where it fell. I could understand if it wasn't directly in my line of sight. Completely accessible, within reach.I will not be back here.And folks, I recommend jacket pockets with zippers on them.Also, if you drop your phone at the top or the bottom of the lift, just climb under the ropes and grab it. You'll get kicked off the mountain, but at least you'll have your phone back.

Winter Park resort is one of the closest ski resorts to Denver - despite its proximity, it doesn't feel touristy.They have plenty of free parking spaces, so long as you get here pretty early. Lifts and grounds are well maintained, and their app will keep you up to date on the latest trail and lift statuses.They also have plenty of places to eat, as well as cafeteria-like areas where you can microwave your own food from home.They also have plenty of holiday events, including fireworks and a Christmas eve ski down. A very family friendly, chill place!

I’ve skied all over and without a doubt these employees are top notch. Lifties were absolutely amazing with my little kids. Our race team took off without us and the lifties let me ride the gondola up with her to make sure she found her team. This place is top notch. Can’t wait to be back.

My family really enjoyed the Nature Snowshoe Tour with our guide, Morgan. The route was really beautiful and it was such a relaxing way to experience the slopes. My parents came from sea level and had never snowshoed, and there were other families with younger children. Morgan was very knowledgeable and accommodating for the pace everyone needed. She included regular breaks to stop and take in the surroundings and she shared interesting information about the area. She helped up create wonderful holiday memories!My son and I had a great SnoGo Tour with Katie and James. They were also very knowledgeable and adjusted to the varied needs of our group. The individualized instruction from our guides was really great. We don't ski or snowboard but we will definitely Snow Bike again!We had a great time tubing here as well. All of the staff were friendly and helpful and there was so much to do, even for those of us who weren't skiing/snow boarding.

Top notch! The shuttle ride was easy and the driver was so friendly and helpful. The lines were short and the trails were great! My friend got ran over by a reckless boarder, and the ski patrol took his pass away. The staff were absolutely amazing and seemed to go out of there way to make my experience the best.

We were first time skiers and opted to take private lessons. Very expensive…but the personal instruction was very valuable…especially when being taught by a man that has been on that hill for 50 years! John McKenzie is the epitome of a professional. He is kind, helpful, accommodating, and one heck of a teacher. In a short time, we were already skiing successfully. I recommend lessons and highly recommend John! I mean this sincerely….he could not have done anything better to make our experience enjoyable and fruitful. Great skier and even better human being.Winter park was crowded for Spring Break but there were not long lines for lifts, low lines for food, rental equipment line was super quick. It is well run!We did not stay on property but John encouraged us to come back and stay on-site on our next visit.All-in-all. We loved Winter Park and will return.

Only went for the with an unlimited activity pass. A lot of fun! My three kids ages 3, 7, and 8 all had a blast. Highly recommend for a family outing. Staff was amazing at each activity! The alpine slide was a hit for our family! If your in the area it is a must do.

My favorite skiing place in the world. Very accessible from Denver with amazing snow all winter. You wont be bored as WP offers a wide variety of runs from double blacks to greens but by far the best thing is the trees. Mountain wide you’ll find fun and unique trees for all levels. The food really good but only at lunch rock everywhere else is highly underwhelming. As for housing and the village its small but there is a good sushi place and lots of good places to stay slightly outside of the village.

Hometown Ski Resort with small town feel. close to Denver and accessible with the ski tram from the airport. My favorite ski area in the world because it always has the best powdery snow every season and the food is always great. Easy to expert ski trails for every skill level and great Ski Coaches for the little one to learn to ski while you enjoy a few runs Solo.

This is our second time skiing at Winter Park Resort and it has been great! I wanted to write this review for my 1:1 private lesson with Adam S. He was incredible- so patient and understanding with teaching me how to handle my anxiety with skiing and control my speed/turns. Winter Park is truly lucky to have a great employee as a skiing instructor! I hope he gets the recognition he deserves.

My family decided to go to Winter Park for our annual ski trip and it was such an amazing time. The facilities were impressive. I’ve never been to a resort this big! The rental equipment was top notch and everyone who worked there, from the pro shop to the lifts were so nice. We skied for 3 days and the runs were great everyday, no matter what the weather. The views from the lifts and the top of the runs were breathtaking.If you are there Thursday-Sunday after 4 pm there are free gondola rides to the top of the mountain. Perfect for people in your party that don’t ski but want to see the spectacular views! Top notch resort.

Have been to Winter Park 4 years in a row now. Great place to ski! Very reasonable driving distance to Denver's airport, which is one of the big reasons we keep going back. The Winter Park ski lift lines are not near as bad as Breckenridge, but the lift lines for the Mary Jane Park can get pretty long on the weekends and spring break. We have stayed at multiple lodging options on site. Zephyr Mountain Lodge is the nicest, but also the most expensive. Iron Horse is the best ski in/ski out option, but you really have to plan out your runs (especially near the end of the day) in order to make it back to your lodge.

Thank you, Forest and Piru, for the help today. It's nice to have friendly staff who assist you a lot. All the workers at the ski resort are helpful. Thank you for the nice day skiing today. I also want to thank the managers who ensure the staff are friendly and professional

Parking here is a real challenge. The base layout is poor. Many options force you to walk through the village which is long and skinny. Other options are far from the lifts and you are at the mercy of unreliable shuttles. I also found both the interactive grooming map on the web and the grooming layer in the app to be unreliable. Not great. The mountain itself is nice and the lifts well thought out.

Fantastic resort! Amazing runs. Fast lines. Amazing staff! We had great snow while we were there with a wide variety of run types and difficulties. A lot of runs would be more difficult at other ski resorts: greens are blues, and blues are advanced-intermediate.

WP is one of closest resorts from Denver that has great terrain for all types of skiers. Free parking on both sides - winterpark and Mary Jane. Staff is friendly and easy going. It’s open till late April so you can enjoy spring weather skiing. Most of the black runs have moguls. They should have moguls sign on the runs

The lodging was great and they were pretty accommodating to my group. I have skied at a decent amount of resorts and if you love alpine terrain, this place has lots to choose from. The one thing I didn't care for was that they had a lot of cat walk areas and it wasn't easy getting to the other side of the mountain. I had a good time, nothing went wrong. They did their part by providing what they said they would.

Amazing scenery and views and actually most of the staff is really great and helpful. Perhaps because it’s the busiest week of the year, but our very expensive zephyr lodge room left a lot to be desired. First, it stunk to high heavens. Someone cooked something that should be illegal. Second, we had zero soup or shower gel in the room. We rented from resort, not from renter. And when we tried to get basic amenities, the guy started asking us a ton of questions. They wouldn’t let us drop off luggage and made us change in garage. We arrived 4 hours before check in. Check out of course is at 10am… for this price, we should have been given red carpet. Or at least some soap, you know? never staying in this lodge again.

We spent two days skiing and took the complimentary tour, both guides Cindy Vito and Kevin G (forgot his last name) were excellent showing us around and covering all major regions. The trails are well groomed we had a wonderful time. We will definitely make it a stop at least once a year!

Mount Evans holds a near and dear place to my heart as it was my first 14er that I ever hiked, and with my late uncle at that. The hike itself is not bad for a 14,000 foot peak. It is strenuous but gradual and the views from the top ridge are absolutely breathtaking! If you don't want to hike it, you can drive to the top and just hike a little bit of ways to the summit. Watch for afternoon lightning as it can move up quick here! There's tons of marmots and mountain goats that are very comfortable around people so just keep your distance but enjoy the beauty of nature from one of the most beautiful spots in Colorado!

Beautiful hike to Mt. Evans from summit lake - when we got to the top there were a ton of mountain goats. It was a rainy, drizzly day so we didn't get to see the beautiful views from the top but that was ok as we saw the wildlife. Really a magical place.

The reservation system has made this summit great again. It's busy, but not too busy at the top. Great views, but the road needs some maintenance for bikes to enjoy it coming down.

Go early in the morning, make sure you have a reservation. Lots of amazing views and it is so much more enjoyable now that it is a controlled crowd and not as overcrowded as it would be in the past. It is one of the best day trips from Denver and a must to visit every time someone joins us from our of town.

The Mount Evans Scenic Byway is the highest paved road in North America. The summit is 14,130 feet above sea level. It is spectacular up there. Way up above the timber-line. Bring an extra jacket no matter what time of year it is as it's usually 40 degrees colder at the summit than it is down below. And keep your eyes open for mountain goats.

10/10 recommend- this place is breathtaking. It makes you feel like you’re on top of the world. There is a plethora of wildlife that makes the entrance fee well worth it.

Not only was reaching the peak of Mount Evans (14,265') an amazing experience, but it has been the highest I've ever been.What an unforgettable experience! I was fortunate enough to do it with some great friends too.Finally there are some great pit stops along the way up to the top so don't sleep on those either!Pro-tip: This was the first time I've ever experienced some degree of altitude sickness (tight chest, difficulty breathing) so try to prepare in advance.

It was awesome. Saw lots of marmots, mountain goats, and other small and large wildlife.The road was a little rough, but small cars were doing it. There was a blizzard on top, but the roads were well cleared.You need reservations, but they were fairly easy to get, and it was worth not having the crowds.

Loved going up! Beautiful drive , kinda scary in parts. Make sure and get reservation to drive up before you go. No cell service at all.

What a great drive! It is over 14,000' above sea level. Old carburation need not apply. Spectacular views and much wildlife. Take the journey!

Breathtaking views from the top. You can drive all the way to the top but I’d recommend to stop at the lake summit and potentially start the hike from there. There is a shelter with some areas to shield from wind and rain if necessary.

Exceptional view for sure . We went on Oct so didn’t get much ice but place is view photogenic. The drive is thrilling and you can feel it .

Beautiful sights, incorporating breathtaking spots and random wild life. Some trails are easy and some are more challenging. After Labor Day the road to the top is closed but one can still walk it. Recommend!

Highly, highly recommend a trip up to Mount Evans! It's not too far of a drive from Denver and well worth it. Make sure you buy a timed entry pass. Once you get past the ticketing booth, the drive is incredible. You get sweeping 360 degree views of the mountains, it'll take your breath away. The summit is incredible. Definitely take a picture with the sign, use the restrooms, and hike to the very tip top of the mountain where you can stand on boulders overlooking everything. It's a bit busy, but nothing terrible. I also recommend driving 10 minutes down from the summit to hike around Summit Lake and/or Chicago Lakes (both areas are beautiful)! Did I mention the mountain goats? Truly one of the best parts of the experience was seeing wild mountain goats with their babies or skipping down the side of the road.

One of the most beautiful mountains in the world. Stunning views. I went there two days in a row and it was so worth it.

Driving up the mountain was a great experience, but probably not for anyone who's afraid of heights. There are some areas for stopping safely and plenty of opportunities to get some great pictures along the way. They charged a small fee per car, but in my opinion it's definitely worth it.

Amazing drive even thought the road was in really bad shape in a few areas. (Repar work to start shortly) not for the faint of heart! We did get to see some mountain goats! 🐐

I went back in the beginning of August with my dad. Other than a lot of people there, which was expected, I did enjoy it and I'd go again some other day. The mountain goats were cute, and I got to see some bighorns for the first time in my life but didn't get a picture as they were further away and I had forgotten my camera back at the KOA I was staying at. The scenery is absolutely beautiful being on the mountain.

Mt. Evans is one of my favorite places on the planet ❤️. The views are stunning and the wild life is plenty. The shop at the base is full of souvenirs and snacks. Once you get in the scenic highway, there are a few bathrooms up the mountain. If you're afraid of driving on steep mountain roads with no guard rails, this might not be the drive for you. Plan to stop at all of the pull offs and take time to look around. There are a variety of wild flowers and animals but it takes time to find everything. The mountain goats are so beautiful. Big horn sheep are usually around as well as marmots, elk and mule deer. Bring plenty of water and enjoy the day.

Mount Blue Sky is one of the most beautiful, majestic places on Earth. Whether you choose to hike or drive to the top the journey is well worth it. As you make your way up you’ll see everything from dense forest to lakes, snow, open grassy fields with wildflowers, and a ton of wildlife like marmots and mountain goats. The mountain goats come right up to you, but be careful because they are known to charge at people from time to time if you try to touch them. The view from the top is spectacular, it’s as if you’re on top of the world. No matter how hot it is that day, always bring a jacket! The weather can change quickly and the wind can be intense. Also be sure to make reservations and check for road closures before going. Hope you enjoy it 🤗

Spent a great week in Denver with my wife. The highlight of our trip was driving up to Mount Evans. Nature is beautiful & this was a great display of it. Where we started, it was about 85F, when we reached the submit, the temperature was around 50F & felt like 40F with the wind chill. It even started to hail when we reached the top. Reviews mention bad roads towards the top, but the roads are not that bad. As mentioned, maintain a low speed to ensure that you can make the turns safely. This was an amazing experience & one that I highly recommend to anyone that visits Denver.

I love this place so much I go all the time in the summer with my cousins and I have made so many memories here! The views are amazing and depending on the weather you can see forever.

Beautiful views. The road is not as scary as it looks especially during the weekday when it is less crowded. The reservation system is a great implementation as it decreases traffic and overcrowding making the entire trip safer and more enjoyable. There are tons of other roads in Colorado that are way more dangerous such as the Million Dollar Highway. If you are doing any hiking, watch the clouds as it can turn from being sunny into a deadly lightning party.

the last (but unexpected) stop of our trip to CO! There was no plan to visit Mt. Evans scenic byway, but so glad we did! The road is ok (if you mind no guardrails!), i thoroughly enjoyed it. The views from top are simply great. If the weather is fine, one can see Denver as well from here. Like all high mountains, the weather here has its own mind and be prepared for it.

What an amazing view! I really enjoyed the day. Consequently, there was a storm coming in, so we were not able to ride the gondola across the canyon.The Park Ranger Michael was so kind. He gave us a really nice history of the park, and let us know if we came back the next day our tickets would still be valid.The Raphtor Show was really educational.The landscaping is pretty.It was worth the drive! Go check it out!

Entrance fee is $32 per person and that includes unlimited gondola rides. It won’t take too long to walk around the park if you don’t do the zip lining or the rafting tours. It took us about 2.5 hours to get food, walk the bridge, see the shows in the theater and take the gondola back to the visitor center. The view from the bridge is quite amazing and a little unsettling if you look through the gaps in the wooden planks. Definitely stop by the theater and watch the bird show.

Gorgeous and breathtaking bridge in the midst of Gods’ creation. Scenic canyon with Arkansas river flowing through it. If you love zip lining or riding the gondola across the canyon - this is the place to do it for experience of life time.

Love the Royal Gorge!! It is such a fun attraction to see - if you're a local.or visiting, it is worth the drive!And the bridge is very stable, not swaying or anything if you are concerned with that.It is fun to go find the states where you've lived on the bridge.And as you walk around the park, you can see lots of wildlife- we saw big-horn sheep this time!And lots of flowering plants!It's a great place for kids and adults.

It is definitely a beautiful area! Today the gondolas were closed because of high winds! The winds were in excess of 40-50 mph. It was cold with the wind chill but beautiful!! We also watched the movie on how the bridge got its start and how the fire in 2013 effected the area, as a lot was completely devastated by fire! Everything had to be rebuilt around the bridge. Thankfully not much of the wooden planks on the bridge were damaged by the fire. But they are now presented in front of the building that houses the ticket booth, restaurant, restrooms and gift shop! Enjoy your trip!

Last time I visited here was about 15 years ago, so it's been awhile! But it was as awesome as I remember it being from back then! Although they were still allowing cars to drive over it back then, I definitely like it more now that it's mostly pedestrian traffic. I highly recommend reading the history of the bridge on the walls to the left hallway once you get past the ticket area. General admission tickets include the red gondola ride, so go get on that! And if you're brave enough, go do the zip line! Love this tourist spot and it's always really cool to see engineering masterpieces like this!

It was a great experience! We bought the tickets there! But actually, you can buy it online for faster entry! And the main thing is the Gondola rides! The zipline and the skyline! The bridge is the main reason! The cafe has good food! At a reasonable price! Make sure you apply bug repellent!

Adult tickets are $35pp and it includes the gondola across the gorge, when the whether is good. We went two hours before closing and it was a bit too windy, so we couldn’t ride the gondola. It was a beautiful walk across the bridge, with every state flag, people zipping past on the zip lines and flying back and forth on the swing. Looking down over at the river and train track was really wild, as you could feel the bridge move because of the sway in the wind. Definite must see!

During our visit to Royal Gorge, Colorado, we enjoyed the complimentary gondola ride that came with the entrance ticket. The bridge itself was stunning, and we loved the breathtaking view it offered. The zip lining and sky coaster activities provided thrilling experiences. At the ice cream store, we found the best vanilla ice cream on the mountain. The bird show was also quite enjoyable. Additionally, they had a theater presentation showcasing the history of the bridge. Overall, it was a decent experience, but we felt it didn't quite live up to the hype.

Great experience, the general entry is around $25 bucks, they offer military discount. Great view. You can add other recreative activities, (you paid extra for them).

We spent the night in Canon City and was able to arrive at Royal Gorge Bridge and Park Just as it was opening for the Day. We quickly purchased our tickets and proceeded to walk across the Bridge. Seeing and hearing the river almost 1,000 feet below was amazing. As you walk across the bridge each states flag is displayed and I had to stop and get a picture with the Virginia Flag (my home state). The views from the bridge are spectacular and in almost every direction. As we approached the south side of the bridge, we saw a several big horn sheep scampering around on the rock. Our ticket included a gondola ride across the gorge which afforded us a spectacular view of the Bridge and gorge. Because we arrived early there were no lines and we were able to enjoy the Bridge and the other attractions at our leisure. Several people in our group did the Sky coaster thing and the zip line. They all said they were totally amazing. All the employees that we encountered were polite, Professional and went out of their way to be helpful. Like most attractions the concessions prices are inflated. $3.00 for a Bottle of water is in line with most other attractions. All total we spent almost two hours here and had a most enjoyable experience.

We truly enjoyed our visit, the views and history are remarkable in itself. The show is very informative and Tom was an excellent ambassador with so much information about the park and the region. I really enjoyed our chat. Views are spectacular, no question however it's a bit pricey hence the 4 stars. $32 per adult is high and the add-on experiences as well.

We had a fun time visiting the park. The walk is steep, so be prepared for that. I enjoyed the gondola ride and the scenery from the bridge. There had been a lot of rain the day before we arrived and I noticed that there wasn't any rafts traversing the river below. I thought it was a little overpriced for what it was but I'm glad that I did it.

This is absolutely a must if you are near by. We went on a Saturday morning with perfect weather and not busy at all. We road the gondola over to the other side first then it was a down hill hike to the bridge to cross back over. Once on the other side we did the swing that swings you out and over the canyon. The walk back over the bridge is breathtaking experience. The bridge does move a little side to side once you are in the middle. And the wood planks are a little loose for a better experience. They have a great Cafe and food court and a gift shop as well. Great facilities (Bathrooms, food, drinks, gifts, attractions, and lots to do) like I said this is a must go to.

I went to the Royal Gorge in the '70 when I was just a kid. It's obviously changed since then (fire) but in general it's a long bridge over a very scenic gorge and was enjoyable to walk across. I don't agree with the fee to do this though, but I guess it's private and they can charge what they want. The parking is free though.We got there a few minutes before it opened and there weren't a lot of other people, which was nice. We talked about doing the zip line but when we saw that it was only a single ride across the gorge, we didn't think it was worth the money. There is a lot of walking, and it can be very steep on some walkways that have clearly seen better days. We walked across, then walked up the hill on the other side to the free gondola and rode back. The scenery is gorgeous and you can spend as much time as you want. We also sat through a short film and looked at the history (all on the other side from main entrance) and these were nice. We did not eat or buy anything beside popcorn for the film.I'm glad I went, as I've fondly remember going with my family in the '70's. Just too bad it is expensive for a family to experience.

A fun place to take out-of-state guests.Ever want to induce vertigo for the family member you don't like while making memories everyone else will enjoy forever? Or are you an adrenaline junkie who loves dangling by a small rope over a huge drop? Either way, this place has you covered!The view in late spring / all summer is gorgeous. It feels like you can see beyond the horizon from the bridge.Walk over the historic bridge or enjoy a brief gondola ride to the other side where the brave few among your group can zipline across or swing out over the canyon.Like your feet on the ground? Grab a snack and let the young ones run wild in the large park or go in circles on the merry-go-round. Adult beverages are served on-site to make the natural beauty just that much more enjoyable.This is a must-see destination for those visiting the state or even just locals in the area for a weekend.

An awesome experience! The bridge was a little scary to cross but well worth it. A quick tip that I wish we knew: the bridge opens at 9am but the gondola doesn’t start until 10. So get there at 9:50 and take the gondola across first and walk the bridge back because then everything is downhill walking wise. Also buy tickets online in advance to save $2 per person.

2nd time visiting this remarkable bucket list item. THIS TIME we were able to purchase tickets and go through the various shops, movie auditorium for the 17 minute program.We elected to "walk" to the south side across the bridge and look down at the canyon. AMAZING views on both sides of the bridge lined with state flags. Wow, not for the faint of heart and not in shape people. There are some super steep winding grades going UP the hills to get to the attractions.Took the Gondolas back to the north.To me, the price of $70.00 for 2 adults is too much. (minus 1 star)

I've had the opportunity to visit several times, but this time of year was my favorite (September). The weather was perfect, not hot/cold nor too windy, and it was not crowded. We actually got to ride the gondolas this time, and it was superb. Everything from the views, bridge, and educational video made it a great family experience. So, regardless of the time of year, I hope you make time to visit and don't forget your comfy shoes.

Just spent an absolutely wonderful day at the Gorge. It is so much more than a bridge and worth every penny. The staff were so helpful and polite. We visited the restaurant/cafe located by the gondola and enjoyed both the food and hot drinks. We could and would have stayed longer but rain and wind stopped play. Thanks to all the staff for making everyone's day a memorable one.

We drove out to the Royal Gorge from Colorado Springs, about an hour drive. The drive and scenery were awesome. We enjoyed the Royal Gorge. We rode the gondola across and then walked back across the bridge. Very nice, well worth the $30 each.

Fantastic place to take the family. Kind of pricey admission but a lot of clean and well maintained attractions come with it. We were advised to enjoy the gondolas first in case the wind picked up. Once across the gorge you have access to the theater and play ground and can walk the bridge as well. I recommend doing all the attractions. We had our little with us but the zip line looked amazing. We spent 2 hours here. Could have spent an hour more.

My opinion is this place is ridiculously expensive but, it's such a cool site. Good parking, good facilities, the staff at the entrance are very much not happy to be there and are not at all friendly with the exception of the ice cream stand guy. He's awesome. Anyways on a beautiful day this place is great. The drive is easy, the views are incredible and the gondola is definitely a must.

Spring Break in Texas schools comes much earlier than most places, so my family & I enjoyed the benefits of an off season visit. No lines, no waiting & the ability to soak up all the untouched natural beauty of this magnificent park. We even got 1/2 price tickets for visiting late in the afternoon which was incredible.

Went to the park just past the “park.” Had 6 people in our van and didn’t feel like the fees were worth it! Got a beautiful view of the actual bridge.Great hike to many different places to see the bridge and take pics.Picnic area with outhouses, what more does a person need!!!

Fun place to spend time appreciating the scenery. The rides were a cool experience, and to walk across the bridge and seeing and standing on a feat achieved a long time ago was amazing. Friendly staff to make the experience even better. Must visit if your close by

Scenic drive up there, and breathtaking views from all around. Pictures don't do any justice. There were 40+ gust winds today, so the swing, gondola ,and zip line were unavailable, however we should have not been charged for a full priced activity ticket since we were only limited to walk the bridge. Check the weather before buying in advance. Other than that...AWESOME!!

Clean, fun, good beers and we got to zip line the gorge. Only drawback was over 90 min wait for zip line & $13 for a soda. The views were breathtaking and walking over the bridge was quite a thrill.

The day we picked to visit was pretty miserable weather wise. We arrived a few days after a monster snowstorm. It was roughly 38 degrees with 40mph wind gusts. My husband paid about $130 for the four of us to visit. Unfortunately, to my surprise, there was loads of snow on the bridge. I understand it cannot be plowed because it would damage the wood. There was about 2 feet of snow and we were walking in tire ruts that were partially cleared at best. We had to sign waivers prior to entry. Considering the weather and conditions were poor.... And the add-ons (zip line, gondola, and swing) were closed, perhaps you could offer a discounted entry fee. $35 a person to walk back and forth across a bridge is a rip off. We had a high interest in visiting this historical man made achievement despite the adverse conditions and overpriced entry fee. It is truly an engineering marvel and the views were breathtaking.

Beautiful trails surrounding the park. Witnessing the left over of the big fire 10 years ago and how nature has come back to those park was exciting. The admission to the bridge includes gondola ride which was nice. But the walk on the bridge was also very nice.

Very beautiful! I recommend riding the gondola across first and then walking across back. You'll get to hike downhill instead of up. But the park's brochures also recommended this, and I was an idiot anyway. The staff is friendly and helpful, and the gift shop has some good memento items. They have a zipline and slingshot bungee thing as well. 10/10 for everyone unless you have extreme acrophobia (yes, I had to Google that).

The ride coming here is very scenic and memorable. The view is very beautiful and incredible. The long on the bridge is very scenic and all of the state flags. The zip lining was great and it’s a good way of seeing all of it. Location and parking is easy to find.

The Royal Gorge Bridge & Park is a renowned tourist attraction located near Cañon City, Colorado, USA. Spanning the Arkansas River, the Royal Gorge Bridge is one of the highest suspension bridges globally, standing at a height of 956 feet (291 meters) above the river below. Completed in 1929, the bridge offers breathtaking panoramic views of the rugged Royal Gorge and surrounding Rocky Mountains.Aside from the iconic bridge, the Royal Gorge Bridge & Park features various attractions and activities. Visitors can experience the thrill of walking across the suspension bridge, which has steel cables anchored in massive granite cliffs. The park also offers an aerial gondola ride, providing a unique perspective of the gorge.Additionally, the park includes a scenic railway that travels along the canyon rim, offering spectacular vistas. Adventure enthusiasts can partake in ziplining and other outdoor activities, making the Royal Gorge Bridge & Park a destination that combines natural beauty with thrilling adventures. The park's location within the stunning Colorado landscape adds to its allure as a popular destination for tourists and nature enthusiasts.

What a beautiful experience at the Royal Gorge Bridge. If you want to enjoy peaceful sights and feel a nice breeze this is the place to come. The bridge feels secured and you have the opportunity to use the gondola 🚠 as it is part of the ticket purchase. The ride on the gondola was smooth (I am terrified of heights) I absolutely loved it.

This place is breathtaking! I explored the park and the hiking trails nearby, and despite hiking frequently, these were some of the best views I’ve seen!Entry to the park is a bit steep, especially if you are a family on a budget, but I do appreciate that you can validate your ticket for a second day and that you get to ride the gondolas as part of the entry free.The staff were nice, the facilities were clean, and there was something to do for all ages. Overall a really great experience!

Definitely glad we made the trip here. Breathtaking views. The whole park was very well laid out. We took a ride on the gondola. Definitely suggest it as you can get some amazing photos. Also DONT look down between the boards on the bridge 😅Well worth the cost of the pass. Make sure to get a pic with your states flag while on the bridge!

Fun and great experience. Nice and accomidating staff. Wheelchair accessible gondola and other parts of the park. Food is expensive and average quality so plan to eat before or after.

We took a long drive to get to this place, and we were very disappointed when we were told that the gondolas were not operating that day due to a recent issue. They offered us a walk on the bridge instead, but the price remained the same, and they asked us to pay $40 per person just to walk on the bridge. I don't think it's worth so much money.Not far from the bridge, we found a helicopter tour that showed us the canyon from above, and we paid $60 per person for that. I recommend everyone do the same.

This place was great we have so much amazing time riding on it was fun enjoyable and hot too we went on a weekend day it was hot like 91 degree it was fun we went to get icecream and riding on Gornola Sorry I can not pronounce but It was great I like the walkway of the bridge it was cool and I hope to comeback some day I will recommend you to come here is enjoyable view here and it is amazing to watch the view and also the coin that I bought for 6 dollar it was nice. I hope to come back someday!!!! This is very fun place to come here.

America's Mountain is an amazing place to visit. We took the Cog Railway to the top and we were left awe struck. It's no wonder America the Beautiful was inspired by Pike's Peak.You can hike 13 miles up, take the train, or drive to the top. No matter which way you go, be sure to walk all the way around the top and venture through the visitors center too.

We went to the top of the mountain through the car, and it was amazing. Views were breathtaking, and we had an excellent time..if you are traveling with kids, they might feel a little light-headed, and the drive up to the mountain is not for the faint heart.

This is a unique high elevation summit experience. There are not a lot of mountains you can drive, hike, or take a railway to the top. The visitor center is nice. The views 360⁰ are spectacular. The summit is very busy.

One of the very nice outdoor spots to visit in the Denver area. We visited during Labor Day weekend. It was so crowded. It needs a pass to visit the top of the peak. We got lucky to visit the peak despite no planning from our side. The view from the top was absolutely gorgeous. I was pleasantly surprised to see the train service to the top. Next time, I will plan for it. The 360 degree view from the top was spectacular. Sitting at an altitude of 14000+ feet, I could feel the altitude and reduce oxygen levels. The rangers also check for brake pads temperature on the way down and provide recommendations based on the result. In our case, we were asked to wait for 30-40 mins as the brake pads temperature reading was too high. The rangers recommend turning off AC on the way up and using lower gear on the way down.

A very fun day drive and summit experience. Make sure to be ready for the reduced oxygen at the higher elevations. It will be about 20 degrees colder at the Summit, as well.

Beautiful place to visit by car. Take your time to get to the top and keep it safe.Must see location if you are in the area and entrance is affordable.

It was an amazing experience to drive to the summit. Make sure you get a timed entry in advance because you want to go early or else the road up is slow going! The donuts aren’t great but you gotta get them. The gift shop is super overpriced—$14 for a small magnet! But still the memories are priceless.

I’m terrified of heights and I had to drive along those narrow roads with those steep drop offs but I’d do it again to see that view. It really makes you appreciate nature and just how vast the Rocky Mountains are. My photos couldn’t do it justice but just go and see it. If you’re considering it just go do it. Also try the Pikes Peak doughnuts at the cafeteria and check out the gift shop!

Beautiful peaks to drive to. Landscape wise, not much to see. The challenge is can you withstand the %66 oxygen level and the cold and wind. Not many scenic spot.

Great tourist site to visit . We took the drive up to Pikes Peak and the views. OMG … We were awe struck.. God has placed so much beauty to see and enjoy ..Will come back again.

Awesome drive up the mountain in your own vehicle except the last three miles in a bus. Just be sure to drink lots of water to keep from getting altitude sickness. The food at the cafe was really good also and reasonably priced

We drove to the top but I have been up hiking and by cograil in the past. Each way to go up gives an amazing experience with breathtaking views. I couldn't believe how much snow was on the summit for later June. I love going up this peak and I enjoyed the amazing doughnuts at the top.

Ridiculous that they charge $50+ to drive up a mountain... But it's definitely something to check off your list if you're in the area. The $15 admission is if you're not going to the top.We did not make reservations and were allowed entry with no problem.Make sure your brakes are in good condition and that you know how to drive downhill without using them (using low gears instead).Set aside around 3+ hrs for the trip depending on how long your stop offs are. Bring snacks and water.Beautiful scenery. Be sure to go when the weather is clear and have some high altitude donuts at the top... They really are amazing. The gift shop sells some cool stuff that you can only get there.If you have kids, be sure to check out the North Pole amusem*nt park.

The views were astonishing. It was a great experience. My kids thought they were on top of the world. And in a way they were kind of right.. It was a little scary driving up there but it was definitely worth it.

Jaw Droping view once you get to the top. DEFINITELY RECOMMEND GOING Great view and couple trails near the peak with views definitely if your traveling near Colorado stop there and car accessible all the way to the peak tons of snow even when I went in Late July.

An absolutely incredible experience – reaching 14,115 feet up was mind-blowing! Describing the view from the top is a challenge; it's something you truly understand once you've lived it. Opting for the railway train ascent, I would wholeheartedly give it a 💯 recommendation! 🚂🏔️👌

Nothing but amazing things to say about this mountain stunning, beautiful, peaceful, ultimate serenity just being out there. I've gone there twice in the last 3 years! Can't get enough of the beauty!

Awesome experience. Got to drive to the top of a mountain, there are places along the way where you can pull over to appreciate the views, take your time. Go your own way in solitude if you want. Definitely recommend. Be sure to have a full tank of gas and a jacket.

Wow!! Is the best way to describe this experience. The drive up takes about an hour and it is best to go slow and steady especially around the turns. The view driving up is beautiful but once you get to the top, WOW it is just amazing. It was cold when we went but the experience is so worth it, just dress appropriately. Also don't forget to stop along the way up because there are some really beautiful places to see and take photos. 😊

Beautiful and fun drive to the summit, it’s 19 miles one way and has lots of gorgeous views! Lots of scenic viewpoints on the way up, we also saw a herd of bighorn sheep! The visitor center at the top is really cool also and you can look in all directions. Highly recommend! Cost $32 for the two of us to come up

Just amazingly worth it. We tried to get a reservation to drive to the top, but couldn’t. But we were able to drive to mile 16 and park and then ride the free shuttle the next 4 miles to the top. It was a pretty cold day, but we did it in shorts and it really wasn’t all that bad. The views were amazing.

A definite MUST see if you are in the Colorado Springs area! The pics do not do this ride justice by far. A few things to note.Train is about 1 hour up and a little less back down with about 30 minutes at the peak, so plan for about 3 hours.It will be cold at the top, so plan accordingly! We went up in July and there was still snow.Also, check the weather and buy tickets in advance. I would recommend sitting on the 3 seat side. We were lucky to have a break in the clouds on the way up, but at the top and the way down, we were in the clouds and had little visibility.Still an awesome experience that we will do again!

This place is so beautiful! The views are incredible.I did not trust myself to drive up or down the mountain so we used Buggy Tours. I highly recommend checking them out. Joe was very knowledgeable and explained all the cool things along the way. Stopped at the best spots for a picture. The summit was cloudy the time we went but the views up and down were perfect.I highly recommend going to the summit (I’ve been there in the past when not cloudy) you will not regret it, I also recommend checking out Buggy Tours for a ride up and back.

Wow!! What an incredible time! Make sure to make reservations for your drive up. There is a great map they give you with points of interest on the way. Plenty of places to stop and get some really amazing pictures. Make sure if you are going slow to pull over to let the faster traffic around you. They provide a lot of areas to pull over so you can take your time and enjoy your drive while not holding up people that want to go faster. At the top there is a visitor center with a little museum, gift shop and cafe. Make sure to get your donuts in the cafe! There is a great amount of parking and you can walk around the whole area and get some amazing views. Don’t miss out on this adventure!!

Breath taking views that we will remember for ever. Must do adventure but please bring jackets on any date if the year. Loved the cog train.

I highly recommend this if you’re visiting Colorado . I also recommend this opposed to taking the train ride up to the mountain . The ride up and down is an hour… it’s about 15$ a person… and obviously gas to go up and down the mountain. But beautiful views.. and get a donut they’re good!

Beautiful and tiring. Went to the trailhead straight from the airport and started the hike at 2am on last Saturday 8/26. Paid $30 at the parking lot so don’t forget otherwise you’ll get a $50 ticket. Didn’t see a single soul for first 4 hours and it was pretty dark, reminded me of Blair Witch movie. Last 2-3 miles are tough but worth the payoff. Also, definitely chilly as you get higher so have layers. There is a cafe at the top so enjoyed the cheeseburger and drinks. Water is available to refill along the way so have a filter bottle. I went through 4Liters; Barr camp opens around 7.30am so I was too early but that’s a good stop to rest on the way around 6 miles in or camp at if you want to do this hike over two days. Beautiful views once you get out of the Forrest. There is a train that takes you all the way up and back so do that if you don’t want the workout or you can drive up the paved road. Took me 11hrs total to get to the top and back, around 23.88miles. Hike isn’t technical so anyone can do it as long as you’ve endurance. Highly recommended!!!!

It is a wonderful experience.The whole experience was wonderful.The train journey is awesome with the commentary by the conductor and the staffs are great.Train is well maintained. Sights and path are very beautiful.It should be a must visit place and journey.Highly recommended.

Incredible views. Be prepared with appropriate clothing to protect from harsh cold-wind. The temperature there was totally different than outside in the city. There feels like 10 degrees or so. People gets headaches very often. This usually occurs because of lack of oxygen in the brain, it’s recommended to take deep breaths and stay calm some time until you recover. There is a building on top of the mountain, you will see lots of historic information, pictures, also they have a souvenirs shop. Parking is limited, but people is always coming and leaving. We were there for 20-30 min the most. Beautiful views, gorgeous place. Restrooms available, very clean and well kept.

Breathtaking views! We were only able to go up to mile 13 due to the weather, but it was some of the most beautiful views! Highly recommend taking this journey. We were able to see a couple of moose as well! And we found Big Foot!

This place is so beautiful!! The views are incredible and seeing all the snow was awesome! I did feel a little wonky from the elevation, so prepare for that in advance because they don’t have canned air there if you happen to need it. Highly recommend this place!!!

Probably one of the best things I've ever experienced. I would recommend spending some time in Colorado Springs for a day or two prior to driving up. Get used to the altitude and drink LOTS of water because the lack of oxygen up here WILL make it difficult to walk. Seriously, don't drive up and get dizzy and then not be able to drive back down. There are no guard rails.

Pikes Peak is definitely a must see tourist destination for anyone to visit because of the unbelievable views you get from a top the mountain. The drive up to the top of the mountain is beautiful in itself and is quite invigorating. The amount of switch backs and curves while traveling up makes for an exciting experience. Once you make it to the top, you get a view that is quite unique and truly unbelievable. They have a restaurant at the top where you can grab lunch at. There are multiple spots where you can pull off the road and get some great photo opportunities.

We went up in the train and were lucky enough to be able to go all the way up The mountain. Our conductor said that was the first one of the season to be able to go to the top. We tried their famous doughnuts, which were pretty good. We had heard that they taste different on top of the mountain and at the bottom. I am sorry to report that they taste the same, but they were still good!

This trendy place is still worth seeing. Yes, the road is steep, and some may be frightened by the sheer drops, but don't let that stop you. The views are spectacular, and it's most likely you won't ever be at that elevation again, especially after being able to drive there! Next time I come here, I want to hike it or take the train. We also saw a Bear near the cliffs below us. Not too often you see them in the wild.

The staff were very nice and informative and made the experience fun. Unfortunately, we did not get to go all the way to the top due to heavy snowfall the week prior. Nonetheless, the drive up the pikes was fun, and the views were also nice. They do have a gift shop and a restaurant if you're hungry around mile 13, I believe. I got myself a few things from the shop. Little pricey, but it's a cool souvenir. Definitely drive down slowly and take precautions cause if your brake is gone going down, it's not going to be pretty. Enjoy the views going up and down pikespeak. Maybe next time, I will be able to make it to the top.

Pikes Peak is a beautiful view. It is high at a 14k elevation, so if you're not used to it, it may affect you. There are strong winds, and you have to drive carefully up and down. They do stop to check your brakes on the way down, and if they are hot, they will make you wait 30 minutes until they cool.

Views for miles and miles. Constantly changing panorama. There's a reason America the Beautiful lyrics were inspired by a visit to Pikes Peak and not New Jersey. Take it slow on the winding road, make sure you have plenty of gas and pack warmer clothes than you think you need.

Drive your own vehicle, ride the train, bike, or hike up to the top of this 14,000+ foot summit in Colorado Springs and experience one of the most beautiful views you'll ever see in your life. Photos aren't enough. You have to see Pikes Peak with your own eyes!

Absolutely amazing experience. Due to high winds we did not go all the way to the top. It was still a wonderful site & a must when visiting Colorado Springs

It's America's mountain! Took a two wheel drive SUV up to the summit. Use great 1 or two going down don't ride your breaks or tail gate! Enjoy the drive it's the best part

Great place to visit!!! Didn’t make it all the way up due to snow but beautiful views also called up some wild turkeys!!

Pikes Peak is a stunning mountain located in Colorado, USA, and it's totally worth a visit. You can reach the top in different ways, like driving on the scenic Pikes Peak Highway, where you'll see waterfalls, forests, and amazing views. For adventure seekers, there's the Pikes Peak International Hill Climb, a thrilling race to the summit. If you prefer hiking, there are trails for all skill levels, where you might spot wildlife like bighorn sheep or golden eagles. Once you reach the top, the views are incredible. On clear days, you can see for miles in every direction, from the Colorado plains to the Rocky Mountains. Plus, standing on the summit, you're part of history, as it inspired the song "America the Beautiful." Overall, Pikes Peak offers adventure, natural beauty, and a sense of accomplishment that you won't forget. Whether you drive, hike, or race to the top, it's an experience you'll treasure.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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!!

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

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.

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.

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!

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. :)

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.

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.

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.

Such an amazing experience! There are short walks and longer walks. A nice public restroom next to parking lot 2. The visitor center is awesome! They have a nice little gift shop and you can pick up a map there. It also has some amazing views too! It also has a little cafe if you want to grab coffee or snacks before going hiking.

Beautiful rock formations. You will be greeted with balanced rock with a narrow road to the visitor centre. The road is a loop with various scenic spots. I believe the place would be more beautiful during dawn or dusk. Great for hiking, walking or just being with nature !!

Our first stop was at the Visitor’s Center. The man at the information desk was helpful and courteous. Since we were pushing a baby stroller he pointed the paved route for us. The view from the Center is beautiful and a great place for pictures. It is a good idea to bring water. While the paved hiking is not strenuous the dry climate will leave you thirsty!

Such an amazing and majestic place. This was a great place for the whole family. The scenes are gorgeous and the kids loved climbing around on the rocks. It’s super clean and the paths are well taken care of. Add it to your “must-see” list. You won’t regret it.

This place is amazing. Such beautiful vistas, I could spend an entire day just taking it all in. You can drive your car up the road and there's a parking lot that meets a trailhead. The path is concrete and well maintained. In fact, the entire area is meticulous. We got a good way down the path and turned back because it started to rain. But this is a wondrous place that is good for the soul.

Truly a must-see!! Got to cross this off my bucket list. Firstly, it is FREE to the public. There are many places to find different views, and they are all breathtaking. And there is at least one wheelchair accessible trail, and all of the parking lots are accessible minus scenic pull off points. Be prepared for very strong wind gusts and beautiful mule deer 🦌 The trading post is massive and the folks are nice. Please donate to help maintain the park, if you can afford it!

We visited on a Monday afternoon, not too crowded. The visitor center is really cool, all the touch screens actually work! The staff were very helpful and the gift shop has some cute stuff. Everything is very accessible on the paths, if you have a wheelchair or stroller you can navigate safely. It’s a great time and it’s free! The weather was great, just a little snow here and there.

Absolutely amazing place to venture. We spent hours enjoying the sights and could have easily spent longer. There are many trails. Animals to watch for. The restrooms are very well maintained, as is the whole park. Dog, kid friendly. There are areas that are not mobility friendly for wheelchair access and strollers, but there are plenty of other areas to explore that are.

It's absolutely beautiful. Did the Siamese Twins trail. It was a little tricky to stay on coarse. We started at the trading post, its probably better from the actual trailhead. the paths were clear but it just wasn't clear if you were on the correct path. The map was not too helpful. But we had GPS on so could always see where the trading post was and the other people on trail were helpful in letting us know if we were on the right track. But aside from that the scenery is absolutely amazing. We saw deer and a cute, way too accustomed to humans squirrel. And lots of cool birds. Could spend all day just staring at the beautiful views of valleys hills and rock formations. Super grateful there is no charge to enter,although we did our part by spending money in the gift shop and trading post!

It doesn't matter whether it's your first time or you've been a hundred times it will always be breathtaking and connect you with nature no matter what time of year it is! The drive is absolutely beautiful through the park. Trails are well maintained and many are handicap accessible. Access to Rampart Road will take you on a fun 4-wheeling drive.Bucket list stop for visitors for sure. Beautiful trading post with lots of local gifts.

Unique, wonderful, picturesque place to go for a hike/walk.Mountain Biking, there is a designated area for mountain biking.Only downside, it is so popular that it can be a bit crowded and difficult to find parking at times.Most enjoyable at off-peak times.

This was amazing. It was so cool to see and actually walk around and climb on these rocks. So many trails and spots to park. There are some trails that are shared with horses. So watch out for horse droppings. They even have picnic areas with tables so you can bring your own food and eat with your family and friends. Pretty cool to actually see and touch all that stuff. One of my favorite spots I found.

they have a cafe in the visitors center and a cute gift shop. there are plenty of paved paths to walk along around the park, along with dirt paths that are less busy. we saw many people climbing on the rocks and the weather was great so there were many animals wandering around. lots of birds too

My overall experience has been incredible here. Definitely not a place that you get to explore in a few hours or even a whole day. I'd say to plan the spots that you want to explore and revisit if you have time. If you are a hiker, on the map the Scotsman Picnic Ground has a great trail, just watch out for horse poop everywhere as this is a pretty popular riding for horse owners.

Such a beautiful place! I went hiking one day but didn’t get to see everything before the sun went down. I went back the next day to catch the sunrise and see what I missed the day before. There are so many cool things to see all over the place.I went later in the day on the first day so it wasn’t too crowded. The same for the sunrise, there was hardly anyone there. So amazing that there’s no charge for this park!

The Garden of the Gods in Colorado is a breathtaking destination with a truly unique aesthetic. The stunning rock formations are a sight to behold. There are numerous trails catering to different intensity levels, making it perfect for all types of hikers. I absolutely loved it and highly recommend a visit!

Absolutely stunning. The world is such an incredible place. The rangers we encountered were all really friendly. Because of the volume of cars, traffic and parking was difficult. We had to circle a couple of times to be able to park. Luckily, once you park, the major trails are all pretty accessible. Bring a lot of water as there isn't any on the trails and the heat and dryness gets to you! Sunscreen is also a very good idea.

It goes without saying that this place is beautiful. The visitors center was really nice all kinds of information about the area. It was a little bit crowded but it seemed to be pack with the kind of people who loved where they were so it was great vibes. My kids loved it and didn't want to stop hiking. There is a lot of area roped off I'm sure with good reason but i wish we could explore around off the path a little bit.

This was my first time in Colorado Springs and this is a must see. The park is easy to drive in and through. The actual area is at the foot of the mountains and not in the mountains. The terrain is easy to walk. I has areas for you to walk and many, many people do that. It has areas to bike ride and it also has places to horse ride. The are separated places so you can enjoy whatever you are choosing to do. You can drive through the area and it is a nine mile trip, I was told. You can take a picnic lunch and enjoy the scenery. The trails are wide and well worn so that anyone can walk them. There is a lot of traffic but it is worth the effort and be ready to take pictures. You could definitely spend a day just walking and riding. Loved it. There is a trading post there as well. and the nature center is kinda nice but average.

Definitely worth a visit if you are in the Colorado Springs area. Best of all, this park is free to the public. Parking is free at the visitor center but it can fill up quickly during the day. There are plenty of parking spaces with free shuttle about 5 minutes from the visitor center. You can drive into the garden but there are limited parking spaces there.There are lots of hiking trails but if you are looking for a short hike, the park rangers will recommend the 1 mile paved loop around the famous rock formations not far from the visitor center.If you are interested, you can buy tickets for a 45-minute Jeep tour around the entire park for $20 per person. There are bikes for rent as well.This park is open from 5 AM to 10 PM in the summer. We also visited the park the following day to take pictures and see the sun rise over the rock formations. It was beautiful and there were very few people in the park during sunrise.

Immaculate, breathtaking, mind boggling. These words don't even begin to describe the feelings you get when you try to think about how everything about these dwarfs your existence. When it comes to the time and resources at play to bring you these amazing views. Recommend watching the 15 minute video at the visitor center to get an idea of how these formations can't about.

Free to enter. I wished one of the main parking lots was bigger, it took awhile to find a parking space. You have to sit and wait for people to leave. Hiking is easy and you can go as leisurely as you want. It’s better to do this one in the morning to avoid the massive amounts of tourists coming. You can easily spend a few hours here.

No doubt this place is one of the best small hike locations to explore in the area. Lots of beautiful views and hiking paths. Bring water and make sure to stay hydrated. I would also advise proper shoes that cover your ankles and toes, the sand is red and will dust your shoes with a fine coating (easy to clean off, but be aware it's part of the experience) all in all, I highly suggest this park.

Beautiful, great place to walk your dogs (just keep them on their leash and clean up if they go to the bathroom). Lots of parking, great walking paths. Welcome center and visitor center has lots of great info and a little cafe.

This place was absolutely beautiful. We made a trip out to pick up my daughter and she encouraged us to check it out before we left. They did have a picnic area, restrooms, and if you’re into rock climbing they had designated areas for that as well! I would love to fly back to Colorado and explore this place some more!

Visiting Garden of the Gods was an awe-inspiring experience. Nestled in Colorado Springs, this natural landmark boasts stunning geological formations, with towering red rock spires and balanced boulders set against a backdrop of snow-capped mountains. The beauty of the park is breathtaking, and the array of colors, especially at sunrise or sunset, is simply mesmerizing. The well-maintained trails offer easy access to explore the landscape and get up close with the unique rock formations. Each viewpoint and trail presents a new perspective of the park's grandeur, making it a photographer's paradise. The visitor center was informative, providing insights into the geological history and the natural ecosystem of the area. Garden of the Gods is not just a feast for the eyes but also a place that ignites the imagination and offers a peaceful retreat into nature. It’s a must-visit for anyone who appreciates natural beauty and geological wonders.

If you visit Colorado Springs this is a must see place. Scenery is unbelievable. There's plenty of hiking trails and multiple stops that are just amazing. We spent about 3 hours there and we were in total awe. Don't forget to visit the Visitors Center. Great way to learn the history. Also, look for the kissing Camels.

I had a great time visiting the garden of the gods. We stayed close so we could visit multiple times. There are enough trails that you’d want to dedicate and entire day or a few partial days to exploring. Many of the paths are paved if you are less confident in your ability to hike. There are trails for many skill levels, definitely suitable for kids and dogs near the main parking lots. Get there early if you want a parking spot or you can choose to park near the visitor center and have a longer walk in.

Here's some more information about this amazing place:History: The Garden of the Gods was formed over millions of years by wind and water erosion. The Ute people, who inhabited the area for centuries, considered it a sacred place. In 1909, the park was donated to the city of Colorado Springs and has been a popular tourist destination ever since.Rock formations: The park is home to some of the most iconic rock formations in the world, including Kissing Camels, Balanced Rock, and the Three Graces. These formations have been named for their resemblance to various objects, adding to the park's whimsical charm.Activities: There are plenty of activities to enjoy in the Garden of the Gods, including hiking, rock climbing, horseback riding, and jeep tours. There are also several scenic trails that wind through the park, offering stunning views of the rock formations and the surrounding landscape.Visitor Center: The Garden of the Gods Visitor & Nature Center is a great place to start your visit. The center has exhibits on the park's geology, history, and ecology. There is also a bookstore and a gift shop.Getting there: The Garden of the Gods is located just west of Colorado Springs. The park is open year-round, and there is a fee to enter.

What a cool park. It felt like being in a national park, but it was free! Between Red Rocks and Garden of the Gods, we enjoyed this so much more because of the longer trails, more hiking options, and the freedom to walk among the rocks. What a treasure in Colorado. Definitely worth the 1-hour drive down from Denver. 🧡

This is a fantastic family and beginner hiking and sight seeing tour. The rocks, hills,and mountains are gorgeous. And the hiking paths are mostly graded, wide, and paved. This is a great mix for groups. There is mountain climbing and trail hiking available for the more adventurous.

Must visit place in Colorado Springs, CO.Loved the transition of colors by the evening and view of different mountain rock formations. Really the Garden of Gods.Could spend entire day here on the trails and view spots.Got well maintained parking spots, trail heads and restrooms.

Amazing views! The sidewalks are well kept and mostly level for people who are not used to hiking. There are plenty of off road hiking trails around the property.

Amazing public park. You can drive through I would recommend the Travel Story app for a self guided tour. Paid for the Nature Guide tour for $5.00, it was good. But the part I loved was wandering around on the trails. Walked 7 miles,just meandering and felt like I could explore more. The Center Garden is the main attraction and it is spectacular. It's easily accessible. You can drive up to it and explore the trails. There are easily accessible trails in the Center Garden where the biggest Red Rock formations are. Take the upper loop trail it's an fairly easy, but not wheelchair accessible, for a little added exploration. Lots of great photo ops. Bring a hat and sunscreen as it's wide open with few trees and little shade. Enjoy. Best free public park.

Nice place to take a hike on or bike different trails. You can picnic here and see some amazing rock formations. It's nice to just drive through also if not the walking type.

A place of awe and wonder. Walk the many paths around the rocks, and see some nice views of Pikes Peak in the distance. I go here as often as I can to enjoy nature

Beautiful! Must see destination while in Colorado Springs. Great walking trails, easy to navigate for anyone. Visitors Center centrally located with a great gift shop and all the information you’d ever need about the park. Plenty of parking and no fee to enter. Pet friendly. Informational plaques along the paths give visitors a great education of the history. You can spend an hour or all day and enjoy every minute.

Climbing is epic! As a new outdoor climber, the grades are sandbagged. There are few bolts, we used trad gear on most sport routes. The first bold is often 15ft+ from the ground, may not be able to get it even with a stick clip. Not a place I would recommend for beginners, but for those up for the challenge, it is a playground of old classic routes with incredible views.

Incredible experience. We chose to do the audio guided tour in our vehicle. There are many places to park along the way and explore on foot. The views of Pikes Peak were great once the clouds clear.

One of the most beautiful places I’ve ever seen. No joke. There is something for everyone here! There are concrete sidewalks throughout the park, as well as more primitive trails with some elevation if that’s your thing. The visitor’s center is also very nice.

Amazing.....pictures don't do it justice. This place is incredible and the trails were very nice with plenty to see and walk on. Parking can be a challenge but just keep driving around and eventually you will see an open spot.

Love the formations, but not all the tourists... we go when it's not expected to be bust, much better people wise. Big park, drive around to the different spots and park, lots to see. Don't step in the red clay mud, it will ruin your shoes.

Fun experience walking around and seeing the formation of the rocks there and the surrounding areas. The park is kept very clean and tidy. You can see caution signs if you're not clear if you can go or do certain things. Maps are well placed around to make sure you know where you are at all times. People there are friendly and the views are even better. Everywhere you look is a sight to see. You can also see people climbing on the rocks. Its cool to see them climb, especially if they are setting up the line.Traffic is not that bad, but I didn't go at their peak times. It was open till late, which was great as we got to see the sunset.

The area is perfect to go around it with a car or to just park and walk.It is very accessible with a wheelchair, and no hiking shoes are needed.The information center is closing quite early, tho.Very family friendly, and even to go there late evening was a great idea.

Best zoo I've ever been to! The animal enclosures are large with shade and running water. You get to interact with the animals not just stare at them from a distance. Feeding the giraffes was amazing! My kids were excited to stand right next to penguins, wallaby and feed tropical birds. The best part is that the zoo has a timed entry which really helps control the crowd size, we went on Memorial weekend and had zero lines.

I've been to the zoo 3 times in the past year. It's hands down the best zoo I've ever visited. The giraffe feeding experience is so exciting for all ages. But they have several other animal feeding experiences as well. They teach you a lot about conservation with their amazing staff and daily demonstrations. Time entry also keeps the crowds to a minimum so you can get up close with the animals. The Wallabies hopping around at your feet is one of my favorite attractions. And their Primate area is top notch. With informative employees all around to answer questions and teach you more about conservation. The views are breathtaking, and the food is great as well. I recommend the BBQ place first, but the others are also good 👍 and don't forget to visit the Shrine of the sun after the zoo, it's worth the drive up and included in your entry to the zoo.

Fantastic zoo! The giraffe exhibit is my favorite part! Getting to feed the giraffes is such a cool experience! But be sure to walk around the exhibit to feed the giraffes away from the entrance! They want lettuce too! Lots of walking at this zoo, and a decent amount walking up hill. Brings lots of water!! And sun hat and sunscreen highly recommended!

Incredible zoo experience! The exhibits present in a more natural environment being on the side of the mountain. All the zoo staff we have encountered have been very friendly and knowledgeable. The food court is awesome! Very easy to navigate and great prices for what is offered. The sky ride is a must as long as you're not afraid of heights. The view at the top is absolutely beautiful. The HUGE win associated with this zoo is the ability to feed the giraffes and have that interactive experience. The kiddos absolutely love it and adults do too!

We stopped here after flying in from FL and it was such a beautiful fun zoo. They had so much to offer and it was a very pleasant place to visit. The animals were so well cared and beautiful. A little hard to walk up and down the hills for this FL girl but we just loved it and took our time.

If you’re looking for up in your face animal experience’s, this is definitely it!!!! I’ve never experienced anything to this caliber and I fell in love with Cheyenne mountain zoo!!! Absolutely family friendly for every age, and lots to explore in a day here!!!! It is on a mountain, so expect trekking steep pathways. I can even begin to talk about the views all around!!! Every where you look is just stunning. Easily the best zoo I’ve ever been to and now have high expectations moving forward.

COZY AND UNIQUE LITTLE ZOO! LOVE GIRAFFES? MUST SEE!The Cheyenne Mountain Zoo is a little out of the way but well worth it. I've been to tons of zoos but this one was unique in its location and a far more relaxing experience than some of the larger zoos in the states.If you love Giraffes, this is a must stop. There are eateries on site with amazing views from decks and a one-of-a-kind view from the gandola lift up and down the mountain.

Amazing zoo experience. Just WOW to the people that trained the Grizzly bears. They are so trained and is so fun to watch. I felt like a kid watching that. Besides that organization in the zoo is perfect. The water fans are amazing for this summer season. The feeding experiences are with it. Highly recommend

I loved this zoo! What a beautiful day it was. I enjoyed feeding the giraffes ($3 or $5 bundles). They've got other animals you can feed as well. It was a little crowded today. Definitely recommend it to others. Parking is free. Remember to purchase your tickets in advance too.

I am only giving 3 out of 5 because they have the sky ride. That’s a major bonus. If it didn’t, I would give 2/5 based on animals and presentation. Staff was nice and helpful. Also, you can feed the giraffes, hippos, and elephants during certain times of the day which was pretty cool. You can pet the goats and giraffes fairly easily. It is high elevation so required comfortable shoes. You can pay $3 for all shuttle.

It was one of the best zoos I have ever visited. I like that they have a set number of allowed visitors per day, which helps to keep the zoo less crowded and allows for a better quality exploration process. You definitely want to buy tickets in advance because there is no chance you get them at the gate. I have to say, tickets are very reasonably priced for a large zoo like that. Plus, they have military and senior discount.We ended up walking around the zoo for hours. There is so much to see and do! Excellent location for the whole family. You can feed giraffes and budgies, admire elephants, and rhinos, enjoy the picturesque views of Colorado Springs and Cheyenne Mountain during the Sky Ride, and much more.

This is one of the best zoos we have visited. The fact that is is built on a mountain was amazing. We went on 10/8/2023, the weather was great and the animals were active. Their enclosures seemed like their natural habitats. But even if the animals were not as active, the scenic views are breath taking. Love how they made look out spots to take the sites in. I have already recommended this place to other friends and family making a trip to Colorado Springs. We are from Bryan, Texas and would definitely go again when we make a trip back that way.

This zoo is one of the best I have been to. It’s built on the side of a mountain and it is so beautiful. The highlight is the 16 member giraffe tower which you can purchase lettuce to feed them anytime from opening to closing. Plus check out the animal encounters, they are fantastic! Some of the animals will even paint you a picture during the encounter. I highly recommend them. Check their website for details. You can easily spend the day.

Was great to be able to finally visit after hearing wonderful reports of the experience.Visited with a toddler and a 7 year old who loved the experience especially feeding the giraffes (take cash for the lettuce) and the budgies!If you have a toddler bring a STROLLER or something they can be carried with or your biceps are going to get a workout at altitude!For any South Africans feeling homesick you can see the penguins from Boulder Beach!

It is very windy near the entrance but gets better as you go. The zoo is 6,000 feet above sea level, so dress warm 😀 gloves are a must, especially for the little ones. Overall, the zoo is very nice and well built they also have a nice selection of places to eat and shop. We will be back on a warmer day 😀.

My family and I recently visited the Cheyenne Mountain Zoo and it was an incredible experience! The views of Colorado Springs from the zoo are absolutely stunning. One of the highlights was hand-feeding the giraffes – such a unique and fun activity. The grizzly bear exhibit was fascinating, especially watching them swim with trout. The zoo's layout makes it easy to get up close with the animals, and there's plenty of variety to keep everyone entertained. The Mountaineer Sky Ride offers breathtaking panoramas. Highly recommend for a family outing!

The thing that sets the Cheyenne Mountain Zoo apart from other zoos is the number of ways you can get up close and interact with the animals. Most animals have feeding experiences (giraffes, tigers, elephants, goats, chickens, birds) that are reasonably priced compared to similar experiences at other zoos. There are also multiple ways to interact with the environment as you make your way around (two interactive plays areas, beavers dens, caves, large sculptures to climb). It felt like equal parts modern art gallery and zoo in places and made for a great immersive experience. Many of the animals were active while we were there and staff went out of their way to interact with guests and answer questions about the animals.The only underwhelming exhibit, IMO, was the reptile and bird house. It had more of a pet store vibe looking at the snakes. For how well designed the rest of the exhibits are, I felt like they could do more in there.If you want to buy food they offer a decent selection of standard zoo food (burgers, pizza, hot dogs, ice cream), although prepare to pay zoo prices. I appreciated that they sold specialty coffee drinks at the Cozy Goat that were decent. We went at lunch time, and while it was hectic and busy, the line moved quickly.Be prepared to walk! Lots of incline walking because the zoo is in the side of the mountain. I loved the unique views this provided and the extra exercise, but for those not able to walk far, they offer a shuttle around for $3/day.The ski lift wasn't operating when we went, but looks fun! There's also a carousel to ride for a fee.

Seriously the best Zoo we have been too. You get up close and personal with a lot of the animals. They take great care of all their animals and it's a very clean zoo. My favorite is feeding the giraffes and seeing the penguins up close! We are locals and bought a yearly family pass because the savings are amazing and we get to visit often! Well worth the trip, even in the winter!

This zoo is definitely one of a kind! We got to feed the giraffe and walk up the mountain for amazing views. You could also feed elephants during specific times, but we missed that. There are also restaurants here to grab a quick bite or something to drink. Word of advice is to dress comfortably and bring your own water! Sunscreen is a must and definitely bring sunglasses and / or a hat!

This was the best zoo I have ever visited. Of course the giraffes were amazing. (There are so many and many people fees them right by where by food but walk down and around the circle and they are on both sides hungry). There fans and water stations everywhere. Kids 4-16 loved it. Each animal area has a "play area" like a hippo that sprays water, jungle gym by monkeys, alligator play. The interactive place has a 🦥 sloth just hanging above your head!VERY IMPORTANT- it is a timed ticket entry. We arrived at 10 and were not able to get ticketed entry until 1. We went to old Town Colorado Springs and walked around and got ice-cream. (Recommend getting tickets ahead of time). We brought our wagon full of drinks and snacks in a bag and no one said anything. Highly recommend.

The zoo is an absolute delignt!The variety of species on display was truly impressive. It was a joy to observe these incredible creatures up close and learn about their behaviors and unique characteristics.The staff at the zoo were friendly, knowledgeable, and passionate.To top it all off, the zoo provided a clean and well-maintained environment for everyone to enjoy. The pathways were well-marked, making it easy to navigate, and there were plenty of rest areas and refreshment options available.

Fantastic zoo. I've been to both the Omaha and San Diego zoos and while those are also great, there was something special about this one. It felt much more intimate than those. The layout of the zoo is great and you really felt like it was an experience. It being on the side of a beautiful mountain certainly helped the ambiance. It felt more natural than most zoos. Highly recommend.

What a great experience! We came late Sunday afternoon to fill our day in CO Springs and this place did not disappoint. The cold kept most of the crowds away so it felt like we had the place to ourselves and it seemed like the animals loved the lower temps too because every enclosure had active and moving animals. The indoor buildings were spaced perfectly that when we felt chilled we could duck right in and warm up. The staff was also very friendly and helped me get some great selfies with the penguins while they were out too!

Cheyenne Mountain Zoo is such a unique and beautiful zoo to visit. It is the only zoo that is built upon a mountain side. This makes this particular zoo very unique because of the elevation change that you get when visiting the zoo. You can be higher on the mountain side and look over the rest of the zoo sitting below you. They have a lot of very spacious and well put together enclosures with many different and unique species of animals. I would highly recommend visiting the giraffe feeding area, where they is a tall boardwalk setup that you can walk around and be at the giraffes height and feed them by hand. I've visited many zoos and this one is probably the most unique and cool zoo to check out.

Hands down, the best zoo I have ever been to. Very accessible for all ages. The animals were very active with many areas where you could walk through their space without cages and such. Of course, the Lions and such are caged in but still very close to the action. Be sure to also take the time to drive up to the Shrine to the Sun, which is included in your admissions ticket.

I've been to several zoos but never expected one so nice at this high elevation! It's very well maintained and has more giraffes than any zoo in the country! My granddaughter loved feeding them! So did my wife! You can easily spend several hours there, and there are several places to hide in the shade on a hot summer day. This place is really worth seeing!

I love Cheyenne Mountain Zoo! I've come to this zoo since I was a little girl. Now, as an adult, I get to experience the zoo with my son as he grows 💙I love how much the zoo has made progress over the years for the animals, making exhibits bigger, easy to see the animals acting like their natural self in the wild.Love that you can feed the giraffes 🦒Ride a skylineSee the shrine with an amazing view of the springs. Overall I will continue to come here an experience it with my family over the years!! Thank you for being so awesome!

Beautiful zoo on the mountain! The view was spectacular. The zoo was clean, so many animals, but not horribly huge & long that parents & kiddos are suffering from so much walking to get through. So much interaction with the animals, my kids loved it! The staff was so friendly & knowledgeable. Food & gift-shop was great.

Great Mountain zoo. A new experience! Views are awesome. It’s at around 6700 feet and tucked in Colorado Springs. Tickets around $30. Shrine was under renovation so could not visit. They could have put that up on website. Saw many Giraffes, elephants, couple of mountain lions, and variety of animals. Plenty of restrooms. The whole park is few miles of walk.

So this was our first time to visit the zoo, and I can say that we had a great experience. This is definitely one of the best zoos I have ever seen. The settings for the most part are very nice. They have some great extra experiences available and the kids we saw were really having a fun time. We will definitely be returning in the future.

The Cheyenne Mountain Zoo was a fantastic impromptu visit. I highly recommend buying tickets in advance as the zoo only permits a limited number of patrons at a time. It is not the most significant zoo, but all of the enclosures are well maintained, and the animals all appeared to be content. I did not see any animals pacing. The staff were very attentive to both animals and guests.

Went to the Electric Safari and wow it is so beautiful! They had an amazing drone show that was so cool! One of my favorite zoos. I love that you can interact with the animals. Feeding the giraffes is my favorite part :) Highly recommend going there anytime. But the Electric Safari was so much fun.

This zoo is AMAZING! 5 star experience. Beautiful, clean, lots of interactive areas, clean bathrooms at every turn. Reasonable food prices. Very active animals and friendly staff. Feeding the giraffes was so fun and the first thing you walk in to upon entry. We’ve been to several larger zoos but this one takes the cake. Winding paths up and down the mountain made it unique to other zoos.

This place is incredible. It's not very big, set in a beautiful area around Broadmoor Resort. Lots of big animals and small. You can opt to feed some animals which kids loved. For a small zoo they had 13 giraffes and 6 elephants. Animals look very well taken care of. Highly recommend. We'll be back for sure

This is the best zoo in Colorado. It’s worth the drive from Denver if you’re interested. The animals are well taken care of and always active and fun to watch. The giraffe feeding is up close and personal and just a great time. The restaurants have an amazing view of downtown Springs. Also, the interactions with zoo keepers are everywhere! They even walked the penguins around with the visitors. Don’t miss the charm of this great zoo!!

I've been to Cheyenne Mountain Zoo a total of four times while I was stationed at Fort Carson, CO. I got the privilege of visiting the wonderfully cared for animals on Christmas day 2023 during the beautifully orchestrated Electric Safari event; I've been to two Electric Moonlight events; and one "regular" visit with my mother. Nothing is "regular" about this zoo!! Every time I got to visit, it was a new experience! I highly recommend a membership, and the advance ticket system works splendidly! All the staff is warm, kind, knowledgeable, and professional - you can tell they love the animals! The interactive experiences are fun for all ages!

This is an AWESOME zoo! There's a big variety of animals and several opportunities for animal interaction. You can feed some of the animals and many of them you get to see up close. The tiger walked right up to the viewing window it was great. Big animals like elephants hippos and rhinos, small animals and reptiles like snakes, lizards, penguins, birds and many in between. It is up and downhill but it's so worth the walk.

It’s a really nice, clean zoo. It is hilly, but not impossible to walk around, just take your time.There are a few places to eat, they have a few beers on tap and a commemorative glass that you can get, if you bring it back to the zoo it gets you like a dollar off. You can walk around with your brew.Parts of the exhibits can get busy especially if the animals are out. Plenty of benches along the way to stop for a rest. Kid friendly with places for them to climb on things.Highly recommend if in town.

Best zoo I've ever visited by far! It was worth the visit just to be able to get so close to the giraffes that you could actually touch one. I appreciated being able to see a lot of the animals in the outdoor and indoor enclosures. The grounds were impeccable, well staffed, and everyone was super friendly. We even got a bit of an impromptu tour and lots of helpful information from one of the staff. The views are absolutely amazing from this height. I would definitely go again and recommend this zoo.

i loved this zoo so much!!! i want to go back so bad!! by far the best ive been to!I got to feed and pet a Giraffe! it was cool being so close to the bears and wolves, it was almost like i could reach out and pet them! we were there from 6 am until like 4 pm, the food was great!

This is a must do when in the area. Feeding the giraffes was definitely a highlight, but having the pleasure of almost being nose to nose with mating penguins...AMAZING!!! I absolutely recommend driving up to the shrine (this is included with your zoo pass admission) as a delightful addition to the zoo. They are a non-profit that does not rely on tax income. So feel free to spend 💰 for a good and fun cause.

Currently lots of construction, but if it is going to end up like the waters edge addition, it's going to be great. Recommended for the price.Some enclosures are hard to see the animals (leopard for example). But mostly they are well made well kept, and the animals seem well treated.Giraffes are the highlight of the trip though!

This was overall the most amazing best experience I have had ever. Been to a few zoos in Arizona and went to the Denver Zoo but none of them top this zoo. Everything from start to finish was amazing and the animals are very taken care of. You can tell this just isn’t a job for the employees but a family. The way they care for these animals and how educated they are speaks volumes. I went with my three children and spouse and it took about 3.5 hours to walk through the whole zoo but yes we would do it again ! The giraffe feeding was a plus and I love how it was the first encounter we had following the lion exhibit… now that was awesome ! Phenomenal job staff ! Will be returning very soon ! (:

The price is right. It's a top-level education at zero cost. There are, of course, some strings attached.

Views from USAFA are inspiring and give citizens understand how our military leaders are developed

We visited the Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs, Colorado, in hopes that our daughter will be attending next year. It is a highly respected institution that is known for producing some of the most dedicated and skilled military officers in the United States Air Force. With a focus on integrity, excellence, and service, the Academy prepares its students to meet the challenges of military service with honor and distinction.Beyond its academic and ethical rigor, the Air Force Academy also offers a vibrant and diverse community for its students. Cadets come from all walks of life, and the Academy prides itself on fostering a sense of camaraderie and belonging.It would be a blessing to be a part of this prestigious academy.

What an impressive place! Not just the beauty and the organization of it, but the respect for the academy and the respect for the service is present. The size of the grounds is immense, and we only stayed on the roads, not having time to go on any of the walking paths. Even though the chapel is currently closed, we still learned a lot through the visitor's center, and the video they showed was informative as well. Would have loved to have had more time here.

Interesting college. Awesome and incredibly difficult and kind of miserable all at the same time. As a cadet, the best part is the other people the worst part is your own weaknesses. Will make you a stronger person in every way even if you don’t graduate.

Beautiful and inspiring. Love this country! The plane at the entrance is amazing! Whoa!

We visited falcon Trail beautiful view 13 mile hike we did a 4.8 in and out next time we go we're going to do the full 13

Love this training area with museum, planetarium, chapel

My husband made a second trip to get my prescription which said on the recording that it would be ready on Friday after 2:00 pm. He tried calling but they would not answer the phone and of course it was not ready again. Have no idea what is happening at the USAF Academy but the prescriptions now are never ready when they say it is in their recording. From now on we are not going to pick it up until we get text from them saying it is ready. Of course I am going to run out of this important medication.

What a place!! It will stir your patriotism. At the visitor's center, a movie explains how they train the cadets. You can take a walking tour of the beautiful campus, visit their museum, and drive around the beautiful places where the cadets work out and train. It will make you proud to know you are supporting something like this.

Einen Abstecher aus Denver ist es wert. Hier schlägt das Herz der US Airforce Ausbildung. Registriert euch kurz am Südeingang und los gehts. Top Gun in echt.(Translated by Google)It's worth a detour from Denver. This is where the heart of US Air Force training beats. Just register at the south entrance and off you go. Top Gun for real.

Beautiful place and inspiring. The cadet chapel is very nice. It’s a MUST visit place if you are in Colorado Springs area.Highly recommend it!

The youngest of our military academies, it is worth taking the self guided tour. We were able to see a great deal of the academy and much of its history.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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!

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.

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. 😃

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!

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.

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!

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!

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.

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.

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 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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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 :)

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!

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)

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.

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

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

Always love going here and one of the best things about Omaha, and a must-see if you're not from here! The desert dome is perfect to go in when it's beginning of Spring or in Fall time honestly due to it getting so hot. My boyfriend and I walked the whole zoo in about half a day, being able to enjoy everything and this was when it was still under construction, about mid March. He is from California and says he's likes this zoo way more than San Diego Zoo. We are currently planning to go back sometime, its great experience and exercise!Recently went with my nanny kids too and they always have a blast when going, mainly stayed in the area with the small 'town' , as they call it, popcorn was great and staff was friendly and quick. A must see is always the aquarium, I will never get over the amazing tunnel of ocean above my head, my nanny kids were happy to see turtles in there.Thanks for being a great zoo and I can't wait to take my kids someday here.

This was our first time visiting Henry Doorly Zoo and it's the best zoo I've ever been to. There is so much to see and do. We enjoyed riding the carousel and train. It was 97° during our visit and the Alaskan Adventure splash park was a fun end to our day. We loved the Butterfly Pavilion, Desert Dome, Scott Aquarium, and Lied Jungle. Make sure to pack water and snacks as the food is not cheap! Overall, a wonderful experience!

Everyone said you have to check out world class zoo here in Omaha. The experience was good. But when you hyped up about the zoo, you will compare to DC Smithsonian or St. Louis Zoo. I think those are a bit better. So not to take away from the hard working people at the zoo. They offer various sights for animals. But because the was so hot most outdoor animals were not so active. The combining of aquarium and zoo together was a good idea. This is a whole day event for family. As we walked in, there’s no security checking any bags , so you can bring everything into the zoo. Restrooms were in need of improving. The smell of restrooms are ever present around the area. And additional fee apply for feeding giraffes, riding skylift over safari sections and other activities. If you come in early , recommend going to south entrance(main entrance). There were a lot of parking and all free.

The Lied Jungle is probably the coolest area. Be sure to check it out early as it closes at 4 pm.The desert dome is cool, but a very minimal number of animals are actually there. They built a desert inside to make it look authentic. I'd say that's what makes omaha zoo so unique. It's not actually that big, and they don't have a ton of animals, but they did a good job of recreating different environments in which the animals would live.The aquarium is okay. Part of it was closed when we were there, so we didn't get to experience the whole thing.The train is cool, but you can't really see any of the animals while riding it because of all the brush overgrowth. You do have to pay extra for the train ride.The Sea Lion training was neat, but be sure to get there early. The seats fill up fast.

The zoo is fantastic. We've been to many zoos throughout the US and abroad, this one ranks up there with the best ones. The grounds are massive and covering all the exhibits in one day would be challenging. Especially if you have kids with you, then forget about it and just enjoy what you can get to.The elephant wing and grounds are really good and seeing the babies there was incredible. The steam train was also really fun and a must do. The gorilla pavilion is really cool and well put together. I'm not a big fan of looking at the gorillas because you can clearly see the sadness and sorrow in their eyes... It's sad to see them in captivity.

We love this zoo! we have the passes and they are absolutely worth it! In just 2 visits they pay for themselves!This zoo allows you to bring in your own food and drink which is just the best and lets us really enjoy the day without cutting it in half as there is just SO much to see!

Absolutely beautiful zoo. Plenty of walking area. Even though it was a rainy day they were misters that are probably amazing in the summer for those hot days. My boyfriend told me they also have splash pads they open in the summer. They were also accommodating for the cold, all the animals were still in viewing areas just brought inside which I’ve never seen at a zoo. Not to mention the aquarium and butterfly garden. Both out of this world some of the best exhibits I’ve ever seen

This is the best zoo experience I’ve ever had. You walk in to each of the sections and it’s like you’re in there with them! All the birds flying around, the monkeys, and otters, and many more are right there! Seeing gorillas in person for the first time was just wild. The aquarium was fun, and just as good as Ripleys. The night time area was the coolest. Walking around on these docks in the dark, hearing and seeing all these animals splashing and moving around you. To top it all off, we saw the tiger. Since we came in winter, we only got to see half the experience, but we will try to return again in summer to see everything!

This is by far the best zoo I've visited. All the animals looked healthy and had nice habitats. The gorillas were quite entertaining. There was zero "animal smell." The walking paths were wide and adequate for allot of visitors. Although the parking lot was full, the park never felt crowded. There were air-conditioned indoor displays and other places to sit and cool off or just take a break from walking. I did notice that some of the shows must be seasonal, as they were not running.

Just visited here yesterday for a day long adventure, and I must say this zoo does not disappoint. It’s one of the best in the world, and I now understand why. Very fun, and affordable too. Informative exhibits and cool rides for all ages. The only thing preventing me from giving a full 5 stars was the lines to enter the zoo and to enter the various exhibits. It’s also really crowded overall, at least when I came here.Absolutely take this into consideration if you’re planning on coming here, especially on a very hot, humid, sunny day. You will need sunscreen and plenty of water. If possible, I’d strongly recommend ordering tickets and looking at a map of the zoo before you arrive, and planning out what exactly you want to see and do. It’ll save you a lot of time.I was here from 10am to around 3pm, and still missed several big areas, so this is definitely something you’d wanna spread out over multiple days unless you’re feeling ambitious. It’s that big of a zoo. But believe me, it IS worth it!

The most incredible zoo meant for all ages. Free parking. $25 entrance fee for adults, kids two and under free. Beautiful and well kept. We went on a Saturday during peak hours and saw the Apes, Aquarium, the Jungle, creatures of the night. There is so much to enjoy here. Little nooks to get up close. Plenty of spots to sit down as you’re walking around.

I can easily see why they are overall one of the best zoos in the United States. From the time you enter until the time you leave the customer service is about a 9. If you're having a problem at the kiosk some will walk right over and help you. Most of the exhibits are indoors so you can't really complain about the heat unless you're just a miserable person. The food is definitely over price so make sure you bring a lunch. Make sure you read the signs on the way to the butterfly area it clearly States no strollers are allowed so a lot of people hold the lineup removing kids from the strollers. Just don't go with a bunch of lazy lobsters that want to sit down the whole trip because they do block the view of the kids trying to see the animals. If I lived in Omaha I would definitely have a zoo membership. I enjoyed my trip so I hope you enjoy yours

We loved our day at the zoo! It’s a long walk but totally worth it. The zoo is clean, organized and safe for visitors. The kids (and adults!) were entertained all day. We were impressed at how close we got to some of the animals, especially the tiger and the alligators. Pro tip: the dome has a basem*nt! We missed the stairway the first time through!

This is an amazing zoo.I have been to quite a few zoo's around the US as that is what me and my wife do every anniversary, we visit a zoo or aquarium in a different state each year. I have to say you can spend two days here, the Desert Dome is awesome, and while on the sky safari I gave my wife a new wedding ring set. It was breathtaking. Thank you Omaha Zoo

Absolutely amazing zoo and attractions! Our family spent 3 full days there. We took our time, and saw the entire zoo. This was the first time taking our kids there and they were immersed in everything the entire time. Each day, they were disappointed to have to leave. We bought a membership, that happened to line up with member appreciation week, and it was well worth it. We went on a Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday and the crowd wasn't bad. We are already planning another trip!

I used to come here all the time and it has been about 5 years since I was last here. Normally, this place is 5/5 for me. However, with all of the construction inside the zoo and about 50% of the animals present, it’s a 3/5. You’ll find many exhibits are closed and some of the animals missing from the smaller buildings. It doesn’t help that the two food trucks and most of the restaurants were either closed and only sold drinks/chips. I went on a Friday afternoon. Admission prices should be less if they have less to offer the public. Basically a ghost town once you get inside. I recommend not coming here this year.

This zoo is amazing!!! On cold weather days, you still have so many animal enclosures to visit indoors, you can easily stay warm. And on warm days there are plenty of exhibits to see as well. There's a reason this zoo was ranked #1 in all 3 categories last year! Fantastic job @OmahaHenryDoorlyZoo

This zoo was super fun! The different sections in the zoo were all very educational and imersive, and food stands even had different themed food for each section. The aquarium section was also really fun with a cool touch pool for the kids and great views of lots of cool species! The only downside to this zoo is the prices, be ready to steep prices pay for experience and food. The walk around the zoo can also be tiring as it is just one big loop. Other than that the kids had so much fun, next time we'll need a swim suit for the splash area!

For the price and the hype for "world top ranked zoo", I expected better. Water bowls in many enclosures were very murky, the size of enclosures seemed too small in certain areas (especially in the Desert Dome) and many of the animals looked way too depressed (especially the gorillas and tigers). The Desert Dome was the most disappointing. For such a large dome, the animals were in small enclosures wrapped with netting, and the interior design of the landscape in the dome was just underutilizing the size of the dome, which makes me wonder if the design of the dome just for flexing from the outside. I also definitely did not see 1000+ species of animals as advertised on websites, plus there were a lot of the same animals in different zones. Food options were also terrible for a top ranked zoo. I've visited many other zoos with less to no cost and still had better animal exhibits, much more species of animals, management, and food options (like the free St Louis Zoo, Smithsonian Zoo, Kansas City Zoo and Seattle's Woodland Zoo). Makes me wonder where the $25 per person money goes too....Despite that, putting the status and price aside, I was still able to have a wonderful time at the zoo. The close experiences with the giraffe and elephant families were an unforgettable experience. Kinda bumped that the Forest Trial was closed during my visit, but the Lied Forest was my favorite exhibit, with an amazing replica of a tropical environment. The zoo can be fully explored within a day if you don't have kids with you and if you fully spend the opening hours in the zoo. I also recommend bringing your own food for lunch.

Often considered one of the best zoo's in the nation and rightly so. This zoo is absolutely top notch. The dessert dome and accompanied cave exhibit under ground are superb. Tons of animal exhibits and a pristine park. Plenty of family friendly restrooms and kid activities to keep the young ones, and parents happy. Every exhibit is a unique experience, don't expect to see it all in one day.

This place is amazing! Being from Orlando and having all the theme parks out expectations tend to be low when visiting places like this BUT let me tell you this place is amazing! We got to 95%of the exhibits in a day but it was tough but worth it! All of the animals were so active and felt so close to you even the lions and tiger!If you like baseball don't miss the wiffle ball field in the parking lot! Great day of memories made, hopefully we'll make it back another time!

My family voted this was not the #1 zoo that we have been too. It was a great day and we had fun, however the train had a long wait and then once we got on we saw no animals except maybe a couple and then saw a bunch of the back of the zoo. During this train ride they had to fill up so that took time too.Just walking around we hardly saw any animals. Inside the buildings we did see quite a bit but still feel like it was lacking.Our favorite part was the giraffe feeding and the sky lift.

Best Zoo, hands down, that we have been to. Everything is spaced out well. You will definitely get your steps in! The day we went, we got to see almost everything. Missed out on the lions and tigers, but got to see favorites like the giraffes and elephants! We spent about 3 hours there. Food establishments were all open, and service everywhere was great. The only problem we had was that there could be more signage as we lost our way a couple of times.

A truly wonderful zoo! You’ll enjoy the diversity of animals and keep in mind you’ll be doing a lot of walking! The aquarium with shark + sea turtle tunnel is a great rest out of the sun. Can buy food inside or bring your own. Really nice gift shop as well and great outing for couples or families. Don’t miss the giraffes (you can even feed them) or the monkeys in Lied Jungle. The gorilla center is top notch too.

I went to the zoo with my girlfriend during the Christmas festival and had a great time. We enjoyed walking around looking at the Christmas lights and hearing Christmas music. We also got to go through the aquarium and kingdom of the night while we were there. The animals are very active at night! Very cool and only $23 to get in. We had a great time. Highly recommend.

We had an absolutely fantastic time here! There is some really cool exhibit design and very interesting species on display. I really liked walking through building with different biomes. I always like free-flying birds and there were some free-flying bats as well! In fact, there were more bat species on display here than any other zoo I've been to. Snakes are always of particular interest to me as someone who works with wildlife and has been working with snakes for 10 years. I was excited to see the Santa Catalina Island rattlesnake here! We all grinned ear to ear seeing beavers since they aren't common in zoos and listening to the staff sitting and feeding them talk about how they're cared for. Lots of arthropods are on display, including a butterfly house, and the aquarium was so fun to walk though too.

We didn't make the time to get through the whole zoo due to time, but this zoo is absolutely one of the nicest zoos I've ever been to. The building with the elephants inside, the building with the apes and the dome (especially the underground portion) was an excellent experience. If I ever go back to Omaha for a visit, I'll have to finish my trek through the zoo.I have been to a handful of zoos across the country, but have never been to one with an underground section mimicking a bat cave with stalagmites/etc., a swamp and more. It was so cool. I only wish I had more time to spend seeing the rest of the zoo.We happened to be there when the sea lions were getting fed too which was fun to see. Some of the zookeepers had them do tricks for us.

The best zoo! Fantastic animal exhibits. Clean campus. The splash pad is top notch. The carousel is beautiful. Many food options. We visit several times a year!

It advertises itself as the nation's best zoo. I haven't been to enough to confirm or deny it, but I did enjoy my time here. Just be prepared; there is a LOT of walking involved.You can rent a stroller, wheelchair, or motorized cart for the day at what seemed to be reasonable prices.The Lied Jungle was my favorite of the attractions, with the Desert Dome a close second. The aquarium was interesting, but the only thing that stands out is the tunnel in which fish will swim overhead. It is a short tunnel.The animals seemed taken care of, and most seemed to be in appropriate sized enclosures.The gift shop was largely stuffed animals, as expected for a place for kids. Additionally, they have these pins you can purchase for exactly a dollar. They're large and have an animal on them, I chose the tiger, but they have several options.Personally I thought security was lacking. To get in, my friend and I merely showed our code on our phones, which they scanned and let us in. No metal detectors, no codes for purses or backpacks. While this makes entering faster, it did make me concerned. Just keep that in mind.We went on a Saturday (early April, so summer exhibits arent open), so the place was packed with people and children. That said, the lines for everything moved fast and we could see whatever animals we wanted, crowd or no crowd. Don't let the weekend masses deter you.

What a beautiful place. Animals appear well fed and very clean..HOWEVER ONLY reason I gave 3 stars is maybe from the time of year(?) Most food places were closed, train was not running, gondola was not running...which was very disappointing. It was in the high 80's and could have used some more places to buy water..Would have been nice to have a discounted rate early in the year, until everything is up and running. Food is pretty expensive...take your own if you can.

Very good bargain. We have a zoo membership from the phoenix zoo. So admission was less exp3nsive. The sky way experience was only 7 dollars and was well worth doing. All the exhibits were well maintained and educational. Staff was helpful when needed.

Loved this zoo. We went on a Sunday and will return on a Thursday to finish. You need more than a day to get through this zoo even if you rush it. Beautiful zoo so worth going you won’t be disappointed. The dessert dome was awesome.

We go 8+ times a year despite it being more than an hour drive from us. There's always more to see, because you just can't see and enjoy everything in a single day.I recommend entering from the north entrance and going left towards the dome. The hill in that direction is much better going down, while the more gradual hill to the right is great for the end of the day.

Absolutely loved the facility. We didn't get to see a lot of the animals we wanted to since we went on a really windy day and went kind of late. Arrived around 1 pm and they close at 6. In the 5 hrs we did get to see a good amount still though. I would recommend going earlier in the day and with a little warmer weather. So much to do and do much to see so make sure you go in the morning if you can. We had a great time still, I'd definitely take the family back if it wasn't a 2 ½ hr drive for us.

I really like this zoo. It's environmental friendly and there is animals from all over the world. I would definitely recommend this as number 1 zoo. It's so big you can't visit it in one day. The aquarium is spectacular; you can walk under sharks! There is volunteering opportunities for those fourth grade and up.

There's a reason this is one of the highest rated zoos in the United States. There is so much to do. If you are planning to come during the weekend or summer, it's busy. If you come during the off season, you'll be able to get through the park in one day, but some attractions will be closed.The food is great, the park is clean, the bathrooms are clean, and the animals are clearly well taken care of.

First time using my yearly zoo pass. Enjoyed every moment. A couple Highlights ... the Stingray exhibit for one. Enjoyed touching the top of the rays as they swam past. Also Enjoyed feeding one. Be aware, even as members, this area was $4 more a piece and non members $5? Then you can buy food there for another small fee. The new look and area for the Garilla area was nice. The remodeled Aviary was also nice to enjoy. The aquarium is my personal favorite.

My family and I loved this zoo. Our favorite animals were the snow leopards, everything in the aquarium, the giraffes, gorilla, and tiger. The butterfly exhibit was beautiful. The jungle was amazing. I thought it definitely lived up to its reputation. We went through in about 4 hours stopping for a lunch we brought in ourselves. The longest wait we had was about 20 minutes to buy our tickets to get in.Once you are on the loop, there is really no way to cut through to the entrance again. This is true for the desert dome as well. You are committed to the loop. Maybe if the train is running, it's different, but we were there before the train season. Same for the aviary. I highly recommend this zoo!

This was a great place. The butterfly exhibit happened to be close that evening, but there were still a lot to see. I spent around 1.5 hrs here. I never noticed due to how much fun I was having. I really liked the aquatic, cold blooded, and nocturne exhibits. It was crazy how hot and humid it was in there. Make sure to wear comfortable shoes that you don't mind getting dirty. And seeing as this is where the animals are, there will be smells.

As always, there were plenty of exhibits full of animals and a few that didn't have animals in them, as they were being updated or cleaned. Which was a huge bummer for my kids. Another huge disappointment was that the Bay Family Children's Adventure Trails was closed and only open on the weekends. My kids would've really enjoyed it. And a lot of food vendors around the zoo were closed, as a diabetic and a mother, they would've been helpful. And was sad the monkey exhibit was closed, as my kids love monkeys. There needs to be an option on kiosk to add military discounts. And prices on things were crazy expensive, and for a family who only gets to spoil their kids once a year, it would've been nice to spend less and get more for our kids.

I'm from California and have gone to the LA Zoo and San Diego Zoo. The San Diego Zoo has always been my favorite of the two. This Zoo is just as good as the San Diego Zoo if not better. It's a large size with plenty to see and do. Unfortunately, on this specific trip there was quite a few Exhibits closed either for construction and/or for the season. Overall, a great Zoo to visit that will easily take the whole day to look at all the Exhibits and more if the kids area is open and you have little kids to play.

Incredible! They have some areas closed for construction but it still looks great, they have so many areas to enjoy the under construction areas are not missed. Plan on tons of walking and plenty of animals to see. Best zoo I have attended! The aquarium is fantastic!

Beautiful zoo. Good mixture of indoor and outdoor activities. Plenty of food and drink places scattered, but also not necessary because they let you bring in food and drinks. Have wagon rentals, or bring your own. Extra activities can get pricey (sting rays, feeding giraffes, sky ride, carousel, I'm sure there's more...) but there's so much to you don't have to do the extras to have a full day! Everything is neatly paved, so wagons and strollers have no problems gliding. Be advised, it's not perfectly flat, so at some point you'll end up walking uphill. Highly recommend the trip to anyone interested.

I was in the area, and thought I would stop in for a few hands of blackjack. All of their tables (except one, that was full) paid 6 to 5 on blackjack instead of the centuries old standard of 3 to 2. This makes playing blackjack worse odds than some slot machines. Anytime you see 6 to 5 blackjack, you should refuse to play, and leave a one star review of the casino. Perhaps they will start offering traditional odds on BJ again if everyone did this.

Asked for a restaurant in the casino and was only told about the Whisky Roadhouse as it was the only one at the establishment by these two red shirt employees. After eating there, it was decent but, not really what we were looking for for a good dinner. Anyway, we started walking around to gamble a little and found a very nice steak house, which was more of what we were looking for, for dinner not a rice bowl and a burger that anyone can get anywhere at any point in time. Either way I had a decent time with my friend from out of town. Next time I will be going to the steak house restaurant to get a great meal.

Everything is all on one floor. Slots are looser compared to Ameristar's. Doesn't feel closterphobic because they have room to spread everything out. My only complaint is there were no drink servers and only one drink station. The restrooms were on the same side as the drink station. Overall, it's not bad.

We stayed for a night while passing through. It took a little while to check in to spot. Rained some and the parking lot/RV park fills with water pretty fast. It just power and water in the overflow section. None of the staff were very friendly. Drinks are over priced and the slots pretty tight. One other note is that its pretty smoky in some areas. Probably wont return in the near future.

It was fun . Went late so there wasn't many people. Free pop and coffee. Garage to park in . Clean bathrooms. Lots of slot machines & and card and dice tables. I limed it better when u cashed out and got money instead of a ticket.

Great selection of slot machines and denomination. Great benefits if you have a players card. Large and roomy, one floor. There was a small non-smoking room, but it is now gone, hoping it will come back. Miss the buffet, of course, but the food at JB's is excellent. Have never been to the steakhouse, but you can see the menu and the prices outside the door of the place. Free pop and coffee. There is a hotel attached. Surface and garage parking available, no valet and handicapped parking, is not the greatest. Not enough stalls. Overall, this is a great casino, but just like all casinos, be prepared to lose your money.

Great food, service and games ( when they’re open). Food options close early. Limited table games and poker options open during the week ( which is standard post Covid but nonetheless disappointing). Sometimes takes a while to get service at the only bar that is always open because there’s only 1-2 bartenders serving the entire building. I enjoy it so much more on the weekends when the hustle and bustle of patrons enjoying all the Horseshoe had to offer is available. Still one of my favorite casinos in the country.

Don't get across the river often at all. It was a treat to go with my ride or die. We had fun. From my favorite roulette to the oh so economical penny slots. It was thoroughly entertaining. I am a lucky charm but it's only to others lol

Super fun! Has a lot of character, had a nice winning streak on the big dice craps machine. Customer service was super helpful also getting me upgraded to Platinum status with my veteran ID. Really cool they are linked with Caesars rewards so I can get perks out in Vegas too. Clean machines and friendly bartenders too. Good trip.

I come from Sioux Falls SD . I used to go grand falls casino in Sioux Falls . I got very bad experience over there .I ‘m happy I found this place today., all dealer supper nice and friendly. A lot table game and mashing game. Although I loose money today here ,but I m still happy. I m highly recommend this casino to you . I will be back more often.

Need new chairs for the slots. I was wearing shorts and the chairs pinched my legs. The chair seats were cracked, split or just broken when sitting on the chairs.. Also, I don't know if they need to hire more personnel but the slots machines are dirty, I did not see anyone cleaning. Cigarette ashes, sticky substances, and trash were left on the slot tops. People could get sick from these slots. You have all sorts of people from all over playing these slots. If you don't disinfect your hands constantly you could become sick or spread a disease. I like this casino but it has gone down hill a bit since I was there last. I hope it improves soonest.

Some of the slot machines had buttons that were not legible, and the video blackjack game was calibrated incorrectly. What I mean by that is when you selected any one of the 3 special bets, it would be either the one to the right or left. It was never the one selected. Also, their points club makes little to no sense. I think it would be worth it if you spend thousands of dollars but not for the one-off occasional gambler. However, JD's Cafe is pretty decent food and worth the price for the portions you get.

Slot are the worst payers I've ever seen! Drinks are weak. I remember when this place was great. What a shame. I'll never go back!

Staff VERY nice. Drinks good. Slots are tighter than Oklahoma's (crazy, right?) but better than the Indianapolis Horseshoe's, but there's a decent variety of games, including video poker. Promos are ok--a few very good RC/TC ones and hits and misses for the others. Clean bathrooms. Great weather-proof access from the Hilton Garden Inn attached.Need more food options. Wanted to eat but didn’t find good mid quality casual food, twice. Good weekday parking but limited on weekends / events. Would still prefer less smoking areas. Some patrons leave behind a big mess. Overall enjoyed it

Had a ton of fun!! Definitely a great atmosphere, clean as well! Security was very friendly and fun. Didn't win a dime but it was still very fun!

Really enjoy the atmosphere here.Tuesday afternoon, not busy.(see my other review for Hilton Garden Inn if you are planning to stay at the hotel)New review 12/22/2022 - Winter Storm temps down to -17 with Wind chill to -30.This was my sanctuary for 2.5 days. Horseshoe does not have a Horseshoe Hotel, it is the Hilton Garden Inn. If you are a Diamond Casino member, the casino may comp rooms. Great staff. Had fun. Won at roulette.

Great Experience! Fantastic Service! Excellent Food! Brought Seniors from Fremont, everyone had a great time. A few even won! Great Hosts, keep checking on us all the time while we were there! Thanks, Marv.

Getting a bit run down, and needing updates. Vistors can be a bit schetchy at late night times. The sports bar is nice, and the newest restaurant as well. Not cheap prices. It's an old river boat casino, so you kinda get what you get.The service is always top-notch, though. That's a plus.

The security staff are abysmal. There is one named Jen that kicked a friend of mine out for being intoxicated, which was acceptable, but while we were trying to get a ride she told us to get off the property immediately or she was calling the police. When we showed her we were trying, she said we weren't trying hard enough and my friend offered to walk to a neighboring hotel to wait and she told him he couldn't leave or she'd call the cops. All she did was escalate the situation rather than help to solve the problem and cut us a bit of slack for trying to leave and rides being far and few between.

4/5 stars rated. Sure could use all the blessings during times like these. Hopefully something begins to look up here ASAP. Anyways, yall will not be disappointed upon entering these doors. Be patient and things will slowly but surely begin to go your way. If you believe, you shall succeed. Have a blessed life. Cheers!

Do not gamble here, especially don’t play 6 deck blackjack. The dealers here always hit 20-21 no matter what. Your better off taking your luck on slots. It’s way rigged against the player, they don’t shuffle there cards by hand, it’s all done by a machine. So if you come here planning to play blackjack do something else.

Machines are tight! This place is disgustingly dirty. Ashes from cigarettes all over the machines. Cups on the slot floor. Trash cans double as ashtrays and are overflowing with cigarette butts. Chairs need updating. Whole place needs updating. The non smoking section is a joke. People constantly walking thru the area smoking. I would not recommend coming to this place.

The iconic name is not in good keeping with what you might expect. The last time I was in a casino this dirty was on a reservation in the middle of nowhere.Place smells like an ashtray because they don’t manage the air or keep it clean. There’s ashes, dirt and grime on all of the machines, the carpet is stained and stank. I never saw any employees cleaning like you typically would and it shows. Also had red shirt employees cut us off rudely multiple times. Place runs like a two bit operation… never be back…

This is the 1st Caesars property that I've ever experienced discrimination (not racism). Forget being a 7 star, it shouldn't happen period!!! And you'd think that the head of security would at least try to listen to the situation first, but that wasn't even close to the case. As soon as he came over there, I was in the wrong. Didn't ask any questions about the situation. I most definitely won't be coming back to this Caesars property again.

Best chance to win here in terms of service they did okay could have been a bit cleaner but definitely a better variety of slots in my opinion and a better chance to win big

Lovely sized casino with lots of amenities and they welcome RVers to stay overnight. Gamble ,eat, have a few drinks and walk to the parking lot and you're home!

Slots are too tight. Been there a couple times in the past few weeks. Slot machines took my money as fast as I could spin. No entertainment value here. I don't mind losing, but it would be nice if I could make $200 last longer than 30 minutes. On the plus side the Thursday karaoke was OK.

Spent many hours there over 2 days. I enjoyed the variety of games. The machine had a button to push that called for beverage service. The restaurant options were clean and the burger in the Cafe was excellent. The is a Caesars Casino affiliate.

I like how they put this place together as far as remodel.More updated games.Nice and clean.Go in and enjoy yourself.Don't expect to win just expect to have a good time

The horseshoe is just the place you want to be when you want to wiend down have a drink and watch some sports,horse race,or maybe boxing i enjoy the horses myself.It offers table games both automation and live depending on the way chance is offering up a win ,or the power of mind is strong giving you the win.Offering high stakes and even better steaks in the food networks Guy Farrari restaurant and fine accommodation its a place i could frequent more then i should so come on down and have a bite to eat and take some money home .think postive and gamble responsibly

We really wanted to spend some time messing around here, however, it was so smokey, it just wasn't a safe place to be. I cannot believe that Iowa allows indoor smoking within the casinos. As I understand it, 85 percent of the population do not smoke, so why cater to the 15 that do.

My wife and I, along with my adult children, went to the Whiskey Roadhouse to see On The Fritz and had a terrific time!

Like this casio. Fun environment. A little too noisy of machines. Well lite environment. Nice lightly inside the parking garage. There is plenty of outside parking and a parking garage. All free parking.

This place is HUGE and worth the trip! There is a reason why it’s on the top things to do before you die. Every kind of food - every kind of vendor - every kind of farm animal and so much of it is unique. The Ye Old Mill and the Sky Glider are petty cool. Plus the butter cow is a classic that is worth the wait. It’s one of a kind and just a piece of state fair history.

Great experience! Wear your walking shoes, because it's a lot of walking, but worth every step!

It was a awesome place to have the car show and they was able to get alot in there with having the indoor swop meet and other places to see will definitely try and be back next year.

World class entertainment. Wonderful returning and new fair foods. Awesome fireworks show after every grandstand concert. Great free educational and interesting activities for all.What I wish the fair would do is add lines in the grandstands for water. People who want to purchase water shouldn't have to wait in mile long, beer lines just to buy water, especially when the heat index is 105°.

This is probably one of best state fair in the country. Great place to be. Lots of fun activities to do with your family. Lots of food trucks . Parking get filled quickly. You should avoid weekends if you can.

Best event in Iowa! We go every year! Baby animals are our favorite part of every visit! During our visit, the Iowa State parade showed up and surprised us with an amazing show! In the kids forest we watched a talent show that was hilarious! We couldn't find the giant slide but overall the experience was more than worth it!

Iowa State Fair!! First time visitor after living in the state for more than 20yrs. Boy have I been missing a great experience! We enjoyed the Bill Reilly talent search, the fantastic displays and the livestock exhibits. Horse and cattle shows are such an interesting thing. Fair food was super great though my diet was mercilessly destroyed ! Highly recommended!!

Good Guys is always a blast! Hope to go next year.

Great place for some family fun. So much to do I would recommend 2 days or more. 1st day of the fair is slightly less busy and great day to start. Place is clean and lots of staff or volunteers that were willing to help. Map was great to let you know what the schedule of activities were and how to get around. Bring lots of money as food is 8+ dollars on average per item. Water ran 3$ a bottle.

So thankful to have the fair back this year! I happily go every year. No matter the weather, it's an awesome event.I take my time and see everything. Go through every building and barn. Ride some rides. Try some different foods. Get my face painted. Listen to live music. Learn something during a show. Watch a parade. Buy a trinket or do a personality test. Play games in the midway. Watch a talent show. Taste some wine or beer. Look at farm machinery. Hold a snake. Sometimes enjoy a concert or 2. Ride a tractor trolly. Collect some freebies at various vendors. Do a portrait. Watch a cooking demonstration.It's amazing to see families and groups of every religion, size, age, shape, and color all having a good time at a common event. Makes my heart full. Here's to another 100 years of State Fair!

My first experience at the Iowa State Fair. So glad we were able to go! Very crowded, of course, but no particularly long lines which was nice. Surprised to learn that additional tickets were needed for the house show, but it is what it is. Enjoyed the butter cow and seeing the grand champions!

It was so awesome to see because I had never been there. Everything was nice and clean and easy to get around.

Born and raised in Iowa moved around as military wife around US and currently a truckers wife of 18 years that's been to 47 of the lower 48 and nothing compares to Iowa state Fair.I'm now grandma and love passing down the traditions of spending our last few days of summer before school starts showing the Iowa love to them.It definitely has had a lot of changes and changes are hard but it seriously is worth spending at least 1 full day if not all 11 days enjoying Iowa Pride.My oldest grands are aging out of kids activities like little hands on the farm and little kid stuff but we had an amazing day doing things people of all ages do.We have a large family and usually have at least one family or friend involved in the events somehow. This year we had my uncle enter a pumpkin and a cousin that won lots of ribbons with her sheep.Even if you don't know someone going in you will make a new friend before you leave.

Nice and neat and well organized! Lots of convenient parking. Enjoyed the tram ride over the fairgrounds, a relaxing way to take it all in. Pecan pie with bacon on a stick, corn dog, pork chop on a stick, root beer float and tasty daiquiri. 😋

Great time at the fair this year! We rode some rides (some smaller rides near the Craft Beer Tent and some bigger rides near the Barksdale cookie stand), ate lots of food (be sure to try a Crescenti) and went to a couple of concerts (the fireworks were great). This is the best state fair in the US!

It’s a LOT. With all of the different exhibits and shows, if you want to see/do everything you’ll need multiple days. OR you can hit the main highlights in 1 day if you keep it at a full sprint and skip most of the entertainment. But why even bother going then.Parking is always a concern for people. There is a city ran shuttle that’s cheap if you park at other places like the capital. You can pay for parking close by. We chose to park on the street a mile or so away and just make the walk.Traffic can be terrible on the main roads at different times of the day (Eg. Before a concert). If you see that, don’t be afraid to get off the main highway and drive through the neighborhoods to wind your way there.

I'm not normally a fair goer, but my job brought me to Des Moines, and it's the Iowa State Fair!!!First, parking was accessible, affordable. Second, the entry $ was about average.Third- the fairgrounds is MASSIVE! I was blown away. The midway just kept going and going!!I haven't been to a state fair in several years. I like to eat fair food, and go check out the animals, and people watch. This fair did not disappoint!!Well done, Iowa!

Grandstand was bigger than I thought. Neat looking building. There are a few mega TV's which was helpful during the concert. The fair was large but fun. There are a ton of different vendors available. The rides are fun and you get point cards at kiosks you use for rides and games. They can be reloaded with points and used over and over again. I found that it was easier to take a Uber or Lyft and leave the car at the hotel. Lyft going there and Uber to go home worked best. Fun time!

Nice area. Everything is spaced out just enough. So much food & drinks! Iowa is fortunate & blessed to have such a nice area, along with buildings and grounds that are well maintained.

Visited this stadium for red sox vs twins game. It’s a huge stadium and very close to downtown so easily accessible by walk. Definitely recommend wearing tons of sunblock if you plan to visit it in summer as it can get very hot. Fortunately we had access to club 360 so we were able to get much needed respite there.

Going to watch the Twins play here is a lot of fun!Upsides: The whole place is clean, employees are super nice, they care a lot about recycling which is great and it's a very nice stadium in general! Just about every single seat is an amazing seat as well, there is not really a bad spot to watch the game. Parking is super easy to find. Downsides: Only downside is that merchandise/food is expensive but it is also expected to be a lot.

Field was really nice and had plenty of restaurants and lots of beer options even for the craft beer lover.The stadium was in excellent condition and had a great family feeling.My only complaint at all was the seats are narrow. I'm 180lbs and I'm not sure any adults can sit back with their shoulders square without touching both neighbors beside you. You have to pull your shoulders forward or almost sit sideways. It's really bizarre.

Well I'm glad I got off early because playoff games are early, like 3:30!, however I got to go experience the Twins win their first playoff game in 19 years! Its a real fan friendly ballpark with little games for your kids, and a lot of concessions. Not a bad seat in the house! Plus I love it when their closer comes out! You gotta check it out!

I've been out to Target Field numerous times over the last few years for multiple Twins games, and I absolutely love it!! Heading out to the ballpark is one of my favorite things to do on a summer day/night, and the experience is always fantastic. Target Field is a gorgeous venue with fantastic skyline views and an awesome backdrop. The food is great and the atmosphere can't be beat. I would highly recommend a trip to Target Field to anyone, baseball fan, or not.. you will absolutely enjoy yourself!

This is one of the most beautiful ball fields, in my opinion. Great seating everywhere throughout this park. Lots of different foods that are always changing. This park has restaurants, stores and even play areas for kids and adults. Lots to see and do if you take the time to really walk around. Go Twins!

We sat in the Delta 360 skybox area and the memorabilia in the indoor area added a lot of history and was interesting to browse. The games offer a LOT of food options. I think anyone could find food from a vendor as some accommodate dietary restrictions. Parking was easy in the ramp next to the field and was pretty cheap! Fun atmosphere and worth a visit even if not a Twins fan.

We had a great time at the bowl game against the Yankees. The staff were very nice and helpful. The view from the Delta sky360 Club seats was great. It was nice to get back inside the lounge to eat food and use restrooms. It was especially nice on a cold night to get inside for some heat.The atmosphere was like a event and that was great entertainment for the kids.

Target Field is a baseball stadium where there isn't a bad seat in the place. First base side is where you want to be during day games, but if you are lucky enough to get a beautiful Minnesota evening then you will not be disappointed. No vendors take cash so be prepared for that.

Beautiful ballpark, it has a lot of places to sit or stand and get drinks. Good amount of bars and great places to eat. I suggest getting the fried cheese curds and the burger sliders from Red cow. Very juicy and flavorful, in a nice bite size package.

I love watching Twins games at Target Field! The stadium is beautiful, well kept, and clean. There are tons of food options (although expensive as expected at this type of venue.) Parking is super easy in Ramp A or Ramp B. I also attended a concert at this venue recently. The sound was great. The seating arrangement was great. I would definitely attend concerts here in the future.

My favorite MLB stadium for baseball. A definite must-see if you’re traveling and you’re looking to create a fun summer memory. I might be biased but the Guest Services employees are always friendly and helpful! I have always been a MN Twins Fan and will always be one. Thanks for the memories!

Went to see the Twins play the Mariners and had a blast. This was my first MLB game, and it was a great stadium to experience a game. It seems like no matter where you are in the park, you have a great view of the field. It is a beautiful field, and if I lived closer, I would definitely buy season tickets.

Target Field Station in Minneapolis is impressive! The integration of transit options makes getting around the city a breeze. The design is modern and clean, with clear signage and well-maintained facilities. It's a perfect hub for accessing the light rail, buses, and even biking routes. The station's proximity to Target Field adds convenience for game days. Overall, it's a great example of efficient and user-friendly urban transit infrastructure. Highly recommended!

Awesome stadium. Finally made it here for a Twins game. Now I can appreciate why this stadium is called out as one of the best in MLB. Easy access, great concessions, amazing views of the Minneapolis skyline. Plenty of guest services team members to help with navigation of the grounds.

It was our first Twins game ever and boy, what an experience! The stadium was amazing and so easy to navigate. We had great seats above the right field wall and concessions were close by. We were surrounded by families having a great time and everyone was relaxed. The stadium staff were so friendly and pleasant and helpful. The entire atmosphere was great. We will definately go back!

This place is electric! Magical even! I love bringing my friends and family here. What better place to get together and share an experience you will remember forever?!?! I am a die-hard Twins fan, but it's about way more than just the game! It's the whole experience. The atmosphere, the people, the food, the lights, all of it! Pure gold. As the great James Earl Jones said, "The memories will be so thick, you'll have to brush them away!" Bring your loved ones. You won't regret it. *Hot tip* Go on a Tuesday if you can. The hot dogs are all $1, and the pop is $2! Cheap food and drinks and a game! Awesome!!!

The concourse actually feels a little like a Target. A little sterile, but that's not bad. Good views from all over. Even the worst seats aren't bad. The bleacher area is close to the action. Prices inside are average for an MLB ballpark. The views from within are mediocre, but the park itself is pretty. Hood screens with a good amount of info for statheads. A cool digital banner feature visible from the concourse is pretty unique. They did a really good job overall and the transit planning is second to none.

First time here. Parking was easy. Electricity of the crowd was exciting. I was surprised how easy it was to get in and out of parking given the size and being downtown Minneapolis. The Minneapolis skyline visible from inside the stadium is beautiful.

This is exactly what you expect a ballpark to me. Lots of food and beverage stands, great seating, a beautiful field and plenty of pregame entertainment. One of the friendliest crowds and the scoreboard screens were spectacular. Easy public transit in and out. It’s hard to think of much we didn’t like. A really good ballpark with reasonably priced seating and very helpful personnel. We give it 4.5 clams on the coveted Five quahog rating scale.

Beautiful ballpark! Went two days in a row with six people (four kids). Both days were fun. Kids played bags behind right field where we came in. We sat row 1 in left field on day one. $1 hot dogs on Tuesdays!!!! Day two, I had front row seats in section 307. I didn't know the 300 section was closed in April. We got vouchers to sit in section 101 and paid for upper deck seats. Super awesome!! Great venue and experience!! Go Dodgers!!

Twins games are fun and great for everyone. I love the free hands on games and activities near the flagpole. Beverages are is EXPENSIVE, but you can bring your own snacks if the containers are factory sealed. If purchasing food on-site, you can pay with credit cards only. Machines allow you to convert cash to a gift card for use at concessions. Check venue website for rules if bringing food from home. Parking ramp B across the street from the stadium has prepaid parking reservations and is super convenient. The stadium has a Twins gift shop with HUGE variety of apparel and gift items at good prices. Theme day games have free give away items (see game schedule for details).

Target Field was a beautiful stadium!! Great views from pretty much anywhere in the ballpark!! The stadium made it interactive for the fans and it was fun!! That was my first time attending a game at Target Field!! But yea Go Cards 😜

A very fan-friendly experience awaits you at Target Field. I’ve sat in many different sections, and there are great sight lines everywhere. The concourses are wide, offer a great variety of food and beverage options, and are always open to the field, so you never feel too separated from the action. (Very little protection from the elements, so come dressed appropriately for the weather.) There are other diversions as well, including a miniature golf course for the kids. The food is all dreadfully expensive, of course. The only thing I’m not crazy about is the restroom situation which feels inadequate and are not fully handicap accessible. (I had to hold the door open for a gent in a wheelchair today.) it’s well staffed, and the employees are generally friendly and helpful. Overall, still a five star experience and a great place to see a baseball game.

Twins Opening game. Big and beautiful. No smoking inside and no re-entry if you leave. Lots of seating. Food/ Drinks and souvenirs are over priced but that's what you should expect. Parking is not ideal, many parking ramps out there and decent walk to the field.I recommend if your not the type of person that needs to get up a lot, to buy seat ticket on the end of the seats where there isn't an entrance so you don't have to get up all the time for people going in and out.There is decent variety of food and drinks. I recommend getting the free refillable pop drinks if you feel you will get many drinks it's worth it since drinks are pricey.

Beautiful stadium! We attended an afternoon game on Father’s Day and had a great experience. 2 tickets in Section 211 (great, shaded area) $114. We walked right in as there was no line and many employees working. The stadium is laid out great and the staff is very friendly and helpful.2 beers ($29) and 2 hotdogs ($16) which you kind of expect these days. However if you have fans grab a can of beer from the cooler and have a staff member ring it up, you should not be asking/suggesting for a tip.

We had a great time. The family concessions stands have cheaper priced foods: $3.99 hot dogs, $1.99 sodas (plus tax), etc.Friendly staff all over the place, including the parking ramp. The light shows for the Twins relievers are a nice touch. The mascot race was fun, the music was banging, and the TWINS won! I definitely recommend it, even if you're not familiar with baseball.

Great stadium. Easy to walk too from train or downtown. Lots of bars close for food or snacks. Oddly for a downtown arena they have lots of parking it seems. But also park and rode on available. Once inside it great. Sun in right fiend in the afternoons. Upper deck is covered and lots of shady areas. Easy to walk around and find a drink.

Play ball! Traveled from San Diego to watch the Twins vs the Dodgers. T.C., you guys have an awesome park with great food and beer. I can't wait to attend another game here. My respect!

Had a great time at the game. Was able to find a few gluten free options. We did run into a little difficulty when asking about the accessible seating. One person completely disregarded us. We were able to find another person to help us out!

Newer stadium, nice clean ballpark and cool how they incorporate different buildings into the stadium. There is public transportation which I used to and from the stadium. Going to the stadium was easy because not everyone was leaving at the same time. But leaving the stadium, it was very organized with the help of law enforcement. But the only issue is the were not enough trams for how busy it was. There was no special/extra service for the game. This is not the Twins fault but they can push the transportation agency to plan better. Other than that, nice food and drinks too.

This place is pretty incredible. We are not from the area but have come to visit a couple of times and there’s always something to do for everyone. Nickelodeon Universe can be fun for the whole family. If you have multiple days you will be here, that is pretty much a whole day. We went on a Monday and lines were short until about 11:30 and then the crowds picked up. There are plenty of store options and food options here. Definitely recommend as there is something for everyone.

I love the Mall of America. It's a fun place to explore a huge number of stores, have something to eat or take in a movie. There is something for everyone to do even an indoor amusem*nt park. And don't forget the LEGO store.

Nickelodeon Universe is an amazing park for EVERYONE. The park alone is worth visiting the mall. There's also a huge food court. It's just all around pure fun and excitement and something for everyone. It's impressive how many rides they can fit into such a small space, the theming is vibrant and so inviting. There's also the Lego store and the Crayola store, also incredible! Highly recommended Mall of America and especially Nickelodeon Universe!

The Mall of America 🇺🇸 is the greatest shopping mall I've ever been to! It has everything you could ever want to buy or eat there, and the selections are varied and absolutely wonderful! You can't do everything in one day at the mall, so do plan on spending more time there. It's a fascinating place to visit, and I can guarantee that you'll have a fun time!

Over the years I have seen many an exhibit and store come through the wall of the Mall of America. This truly is a sight.Even if you're not one for shopping, it's great to see all that's in store here. There's plenty of parking and for a mall that is extremely large, it's actually well designed. There are very few times where you will feel as if it's crowded.As a tourist attraction, it's on my must visit list.

I used to live in Minnesota as a child and I love coming to this mall on the weekends. It's a 30min drive from my city, Minneapolis. It's one of the biggest mall in the U.S. hence the name. It has endless stores and it also has rides like an amusem*nt park. If you ever in the area, you have to check out this mall.

It's been a while since I've visited here and I forgot how massive this mall is 😆. Lots of stores, restaurants, and activities to do here for the whole family. The Nickelodeon Universe in the middle of the mall was cool and had me feeling like a kid again! I just think it's super convenient from shopping to amusem*nt. Would recommend a day trip here with the family if you like all things I listed above!

This mall is huge and have many stores also a place for the kids. A lot of walking I will say, parking is simple and free. The food options are great, they also have vegan options. This place is not crowded which is a plus. This is a place for kids and adults so give it a try.

It was a bucket list item to come here. I don't like to shop but there was plenty else to do. I really loved all of the various culinary options available. The mall was pretty clean. Bathrooms readily available though the signs could be better. There weren't any raucous youths running about while we were there. The amusem*nt park looked cool. Attached hotels are also very convenient. If you don't shop/ride rollercoasters you could just come here to eat or people watch like we did.

Large mall. Lots of stores and food options. Very nice in appearance. The theme park in the middle is fun. Lots of activities - nerf and laser course, mini golf, amusem*nt park rides, 5D movies, illusion room, axe throwing. It will cost you a lot to do all these things, plan on spending $. Average $20-30 per person/activity. They have unlimited ride wrist bands. Parking garage is big and 7ft clearance.

Your one stop for shopping, dining and having fun. I went early so it wasn't too packed. I walked around for 2 hours on 3 levels just to experience the largest mall in America. I like that they have kiosks all throughout to help you find what your looking for. Wear some comfortable clothing and good walking shoes.

Over 600 stores, a great food court (entire floor), movie theater on the top floor, and an amusem*nt park in the center of it all. On average, it takes two days to really see and do everything, so pace yourself. Definitely worth the trip!!

First time visit. Had a blast. Lots of food options, stores, and a small theme park. Can easily spend at least a day here. Good location next to the airport and has hotels attached. Semi truck parking available but only during operation hrs.

It was an amazing experience! Crowded due to the long weekend but definitely worthy to visit. Interesting shops and good quality food even just in the food court!! They even have accessible lockers for shoppers!

Amazing facility! Although I'm not a shopper and generally don't get excited about mall's, Mall of America offers an unique, fun experience for everyone (even if not shopping!) Mall of America is huge, it's probably three or four times larger than the normal mall. Within the confines of the mall, you can find just about every type of retail store and restaurant imaginable. There is also the obligatory food court available for quicker food service. There are numerous attractions within the mall, including my favorite attribute; full size amusem*nt park with many great rides! Of course, since all of the amusem*nt park, attractions and rides are indoor, no need to worry about inclement weather! If you want to experience the entire Mall of America and the amusem*nt park and numerous attractions, plan on spending, at least, a few days here. For avid shoppers, it will take several days to visit and investigate all the retail stores. Fortunately, I have had the opportunity to visit the Mall of America many times since it's opening. Each visit I continue to be amazed with size and scope of the facility. In addition, every visit I have found the mall to be immaculate, organized and well maintained. Although there have been a few safety issues and incidents here (unfortunately common everywhere in the USA), I have never felt unsafe at Mall of America. During my visits I have noticed an appropriate level of security staffing and presence throughout the mall. Again, if you've not experienced the Mall of America, I highly recommend you do so! Whether an avid shopper, people watcher, amusem*nt park enthusiasts or enjoy walking in a mall environment, you will truly enjoy the experience and facilities here! Have fun!!!

Living so close to the mall...we visit here very regularly. Sometimes it's a quick stop...for either a particular item...or...a meal. Other times...we can easily spend the day here...shopping...going on rides...seeing a film...just browsing. It's been interesting to see it adapt...and...change over the years. Obviously...there is an insane amount of variety to be found...everything from clothing...to dining...to top-notch entertainment choices...and...then some. There really is something for everyone. Also...the fact that Minnesota doesn't charge tax on clothing...or...shoes...is a huge draw for people. There is plenty of free parking all around the mall. You can always find a spot...no matter how crowded it is. There is also a newly-remodeled transit hub with both city bus...and...light rail service onsite. Many local hotels also provide shuttles to...and...from both the mall...and...the airport. Several hotels are within walking distance to the mall...with two being directly attached. The mall is a place that we will always come to because...it's in our backyard...and...we love it.

Amazing mall, second time here and I love it. Super clean, great parking, amazing stores, tons of things to do , you will need a week to enjoy everything here. Amazing coffee shops, amazing restaurants, great area for kids to spend the day at the theme park. Family bathrooms are amazing, specially if you have young ones.

Mall of America in Minneapolis: Shopper's Paradise. With over 500 stores, endless shopping options await. Exciting entertainment, diverse dining, and convenient accessibility make it a must-visit destination.

Nice time , kids wanted to stop and check it out on our way west. Nice lots to do. Visit mini golf, aquarium, and of course shopping!! Food choices huge. And even a Crayola experience old time photos kids loved too. 3 days was a good time.

Bring good walking shoes and come early! Being the largest mall of America the parking lot gets packed! I was fortunate to arrive early on a Friday morning (around 1015) and parking was great, but when departing the parking lot was completely full! there are 3 plus levels in this mall and an amusem*nt park inside! I recommend making room for two days at this mall to experience all it has to offer! This includes all the commons stores you will find at other malls, local shops, and activity stores.

This place is amazing. There’s so much to do here you can check out all the stores they have and see if you can find any good deals or there’s always the amusem*nt park. There’s tons of fun activities to do here. I really like The Amazing Mirror Maze and the 5D Extreme Attraction. I highly recommend checking out as many of the events and attractions as possible and they have so many different kinds of food to choose from while you spend your day at the mall. This place is a dream on earth. Definitely can’t recommend checking it out enough.

This is not a quick stop visit.Plan on spending at least a day, if not 2, in order to see the whole mall.There are sports stores, antique stores, department stores, unique stores, and a fabulous food court.My husband and I.Walked over seventeen thousand steps in about four hours.They have family activities at the Nickelodeon, Sea World, and Lego land, just to name a few. The food court offers a worldwide varietyOf tastes.The mall is a magical place around the holidays with all its decor and musical concerts.We always look forward to spending the day here

In the world of retail, food and entertainment, MOA has got it all. It's only 10 minutes from the MSP airport and surrounded by plenty of hotels that offer free shuttles. A Lyft or Uber is also very convenient, even during the colder winter months. This place has tons of stores to choose from to get anythingyou could need, and even multiple locations of some. The movie theater is nice, and the Nickelodeon theme park in the middle is amazing. It offers a ton of neat rides for all ages. The mall is set up like a 4 leaf clover with 4 levels, but most stores are located on the first 3 floors, with the 3rd floor being packed with different food options. It took us 2 full days to actively walk around and enjoy the whole place. We traveled from Tampa and made a weekend out of it. The only downside is having to carry your jacket and purchases the whole time. They do have lockers you can rent, but they can be pricey. Every time we looked the longest line to get into a store was for Legos! Overall, it's an awesome, safe place with tons of security everywhere you look. Definitely recommend a trip to check it out.

I have been coming to the Mall of America since it opened. It’s definitely worth seeing. It does get busy during the holidays but is a fun experience. The amusem*nt park is even fun to walk through if you have time. It’s safe and clean and the employees are friendly. I haven’t had any bad experiences—and I’ve been here many many times

I always saw this on the Travel channel when I was a kid, dreaming of being able to come here. Visiting for the first time as an adult, crazy to see how large this mall is as well as the variety of food, shops and entertainment there. At the end of the day it is just a mall so as an adult it was ok but the kid in me would have been super excited to see it live. Very good place to take a family, lots of entertainment things to do and see.

I always enjoy my trips to the Mall of America. With its wide selection of stores, this clean and well-maintained mall is definitely worth a visit. The amusem*nt park adds a unique touch, and there are amazing places to eat, along with spots for massages and just about anything you're looking for. Whether you're shopping, dining, or just exploring, the Mall of America has something for everyone. I would highly recommend a trip to the Mall of America for an enjoyable and diverse experience. It's a destination that caters to all ages and interests, making it a must-visit location.

Clean, easy parking on east ramp, really fun to walk around, lots of places we don’t see in our home town. The legos were impressive. The theme park was especially fun. I like the option to pay per ride using points. We even saw a jazz band play in the atrium.

I recently visited Minneapolis on business and made it a point to visit the M.O.A.I'm glad I did! This place is really nice with tons of cool and very big stores. The indoor amusem*nt park is much more than I thought it was! Right now it is a Nickelodeon themed park and has multiple roller coasters.

This was the best mall I have ever visited, the theme park inside of the mall is absolutely amazing for families. The kids were having such a great time, you can shop, eat at some amazing food restaurants, relax while the kids are having a blast. An amazing concept, every mall should look like the Mall of America . I absolutely love it!

I’ve always wanted to visit the mall and finally did. I wasn’t disappointed but maybe more so expected more. The coolest part was the theme park area with the rest of the mall just a supersized version of a mall in any bigger city, sure there are special stores and TONS of normal stores but nothing really stood out to me. That being said I think it is a must visit to cross off one’s bucket list if nearby. I drove around 9 hours, because it’s always been on my bucket list, and can say it probably wasn’t worth the drive but there are other things to do in the area and that makes it worthwhile overall.

This place is the full standard for malls. I think they set the bar really high. I'm my opinion, having seen so many shopping malls falling into bankruptcy, they need to look at their playbook. This place was packed, and not just the amusem*nt park. Yes. An amusem*nt park in the mall. I said it. I love how every few hundred feet they have an electronic map with directions. Brilliant! I have been to so many malls in my years. This lives up to the hype. Did I mention an aquarium? The list is way too long, folks. If you're in Minneapolis MN and you have a few hours to kill. Here you go. You won't see it all, though.

Amazing place. Has a very diverse collection of shops and boutiques. The Lego land in side is astonishing. Great place to bring your kids. They have a full on amusem*nt park I side the mall at it's center. Has the best food court I've ever been in. And that includes places I've been to In Vegas. The price rages from a couple bucks. To a couple thousand bucks. They also put on live bands performances. If your coming to M.O.A. for the first time. Plan ahead and get there early if you want to see the whole mall. It could possibly take a week. If your a browser and take you time In each store.

This mall is absolutely massive. It is a great place to visit once. I was blown away the first time I went and now each time I go, I like it less. I’d recommend it as a one time visit and then never going back.

As a European, I have never seen anything this big in my life ;).But it is so much fun.You can spend there literally the whole day.Fun for kids, aquarium, Illusion museum, shops for adults, food corner with almost everything you can ask for.It was definitely an experience:)

3 1/2 floors of amazing stores! A diverse mixture of goods and services. Clean clean clean! Draws a large cross section of cultures and ages! Family friendly. FREE parking.

We were in Minneapolis for the first time so we thought it would be a huge miss if we didn't visit the Mall of America. We were staying downtown so we took public transportation which was very easy. The mall has a transit station attached which was easy to find. The mall itself is huge (as expected). The highlight being the amusem*nt park in the middle. It has multiple roller-coasters and other rides. There is also an aquarium but we didn't visit. As for shopping, pretty much every store you can think of is here. The food options are plentiful but spread out across the mall versus having multiple restaurants located together which made it a little more difficult to decide where to have lunch.

Visited this mall on March 30, 2024.I have heard so much about this mall before coming here but my experience left me little disappointed when it’s come to shopping.There are many stores here but same store are everywhere else as well. There is no uniqueness in shopping experience.If you consider other activities like Nickelodeon Universe (kind of fun activity park for kids and young ones) Sea life, LegoAdventure park etc then it’s totally worth it.This place is ideal for family with small kids. Here under one roof kids can play, eat and have lots of fun.Bathrooms were not in good clean condition.If you are coming from another state or from Canada for shopping only then there is no need at all. Spending in US $ will cost you more.Three stars

This mall is huge and super fun to see. I spent a few hours here by myself since I was in town for work. I took the metro from downtown straight there. So easy. They had a lot of sorts and I can't speak to the theme park since I didn't go but I'm sure it's great.

What an experience! So huge and so much to see and do. We loved it and will keep coming back. We walked 15k steps and tried to visit everything but I think we may have only seen less than a third. Super impressive!!

We visited the aquarium and we the views were awesome it was an experience. The underwater views were as if we were actually inside the water and we got to touch the starfish and the anemones. Cool experience with the kids!

I missed visiting a mall like this one. I came from Birmingham and there is nothing compared with this mall. The variety of restaurants, stores, attractions, and that Nickelodeon park are amazing! (Except for the Crayola adventure) It is that kind of place where if you don't have any plans but want to hang out, you will feel you made something in your day, from walking, eating something yummy, enjoy the park or another attraction, going shopping, drinking with your friends... This mall has something for everyone

The mall continues to be full of great stores, some that have closed in other areas. The amusem*nt park in the middle looked like lots of fun, although we didn't use it. The food court has lots of options and there are also several full restaurants throughout the mall. Some coworkers and I were in Minneapolis for a work conference and had an enjoyable evening exploring the mall.

Cleanest, most well-organized mall I’ve ever seen. Great selection of stores, tasteful decoration with white and lights, and lots of seating opportunities (some of the furniture is a bit worn out, but it's okay). The selection of stores is amazing. There are so many directory help desk computers that you will always find what you’re searching for. The temperature and selection of restaurants was also very good!We spent a whole day here and in the Nickelodeon park. Awesome place!

This was a super cool place and highly recommended the house tour. Our house tour guide Craig, he was super awesome and loved that he was in a period time uniform. It just added to the whole experience. I wish other staff members were dressed the same. The reason I kept it from 5 stars was I was a bit disappointed in the gift shop. There wasn't much field of dreams items and to meet that's the main attraction and there should be many items relating to the movie and period time clothing that the ball players wore. They do ask for a $20 dollar donation.They should have stuff that says " if you build he will come" or have some of the other famous quotes on clothing with the baseball diamond in the background, have other souvenirs that relate to the movie and not just all clothes that's baseball team related.

This is a free attraction. However, donations are encouraged. There is a concession building & another building for merchandise. You can purchase house tours, but they are for certain times, so if you want one, be sure to look at the schedule and time your visit. It was fun to be able to go onto the field and pitch to our kids & we were all able to bat!If you love the movie I would recommend going to! As the season goes on, the corn grows.

We were lucky to have best weather and enjoyed our visit. Note it is “free” but they ask for donation when you arrived. No indoor plumbing so only outhouses available. Has small snack bar and store in addition to tour of the house. Really enjoyable visit.

It was a very nice day but windy when I visited. It is nicely maintained and full of history. The admission is free, but I suggest at least $5 donation per person. After all, it requires basic maintenance. There is a gift shop on-site, and you can rent the baseball equipment I'd you don't have yours. It also has a concession stand for quick lunch and snacks. Everything is like what you see in the movie. You can call walk in the field like those players walked out of corn field. The whole place is just very pleasant to visit. If you close your eyes, you can feel the pleasant breeze and smell the corn field. If your heart is quiet enough, you will also feel that spiritual connection just like Kevin Costner heard in the movie "If you build it, they will come". Although it feels like heaven, it definitely is Iowa. I never thought that Iowa's has so much to offer.

Visited the field on a week day with friends, was surprised with the decent amount of visitors. When you pull off the road, there is a booth asking for donations as you pull into park. The field was open and we checked it all out. We did in advance buy tickets for the house tour. Was the longest tour of the smallest space I have ever been on, but the tour guide was knowledgeable and passionate about the information he was sharing. Gift shop is a newer building with a variety of options. Can knock out everything out in around an hour.

Was a very neat experience visiting the house & the field! We did the tour through the house & got to go on the field, and thought it was so cool just being there! So nostalgic how it’s set up just like the movie! Being an Iowan, it’s a must see!

Absolutely loved visiting this place. It’s so perfectly maintained you feel like you’ve been transported to another place. Lots of equipment so you can have a game. Plenty of parking. Free entry but they suggest a donation. We were very happy to pay for the privilege of being there. Don’t miss it!

It was exactly like it was as if you were in the movie. Love the baseballism store addition and restaurant. Makes the drive worth it. Cute little snack shop called stretches. The corn was perfectly tall in each row. The diamond was fun for all the kids and family's to get up there and hit and catch balls. A defiant must see. They do have a donation you give at the entrance and you get a cute bumper sticker to enter. If you want to tour the house it is 24.00 adult and 12.00 a kid

Oh man, even in the snow, it's a glorious site! We experienced the field like the first winter in the movie! And we added the house tour, too. What a wonderful tour Craig led! He has a passion for the sport, as well as the movie and Iowa! No wonder that he is the Manager of Visitor Experience! We enjoyed hearing the back stories of the house, previous owners, and the movie scenes. I would highly recommend seeing this site, even if you've only seen the movie once! We'll be back for sure when it thaws up here!

It's hard to describe being here but it's like a little piece of heaven! For sure a destination stop, as it's not close to anything but well worth the drive. $20 to tour the house, which is a guided tour and Greg was great! You can spend as much time as you want to there in the field and stands and there is a gift shop, snack shop and porta potties. The house can also be rented out for stays. "They will come Ray, they will come"!!

We just returned home from a trip to Field of Dreams. What a great experience! Don't delay taking your children there for some long lasting memories. You will get chills when the nostalgic ball players walk out of corn field into the outfield.

This was a dream come true. It's one of my favorite movies of all time. My son plays ball, so it was great sharing this visit with him. Got their at opening, no wait. The property is free to enter, but they ask for donations. You get some swag for donation amount. They have used ball gear for you to play ball on the very field from the film. That was the best part for my family visit. The only downside was that the corn wasn't grown! Where's Shoeless Joe and Doc hiding out? 🤔Sitting in the stands was fun, imagining the game play. There is a carving on the top row, which Kevin made between filming scenes. The original house is there to be toured, as well as a gift shop. Take a look at their "Master Plan" in the gift shop to see what they plan for the property in the coming years.

For what it is, it was really cool. As a baseball/softball fan and fan of the movie, the whole concept is amazing. Getting to play on the field, walk in the cornfield- truly a fun experience! Nice giftshop. A definite must to visit for baseball fans!

It is a must do if you've seen the movie. Leave a donation in support of maintaining the site. It looks just like the movie and we were lucky enough to see it with the corn grown and kids playing a game on the field. We heard there is a ghost team that played that Saturday but we couldn't attend. Climb the bleachers to see the heart carved by Kevin Costner. Tour the house if you can. Definitely waves of emotion to see the site, remember the purpose of the movie and be present there.

It was cool to see it. It was not a big tourist attraction and they try to keep it that way. The only price is a suggested donation, so a person can go in and look around watch baseball being played on the field, look at the house and visit the gift shop. It is on a gravel road approach so motorcycles need to be careful. The shops close at 6:00 p.m. but you can still watch baseball.

Excellent tour. We stayed overnight, ran the bases, had a catch and watched the movie sitting in the living room 😳 highly recommend it. Bedding and accommodations were quite nice as well. Very comfortable stay as well as super nostalgic

The location has been modernized commercially so some of its original charm has left. If you have never been there before MLB got involved though you might not notice. Its still 5 star if your a fan of the movie and especially if you bring your son or vice versa. Don't expect a lot from the souvenir shop though outrageously over priced some t shirts were 36 dollars and the addition of an onsite bar felt a tad trappy to me afterwards. Still if you've never been the photo ops and parking are free and they do have concessions on site. The MLB park adjacent is under construction currently. Remember also no Corn until mid summer if your planning way ahead.

Came off season April 11th, you are asked to pay a donation of around 20bucks, but the amount you give is up to you. Would have been nice to come in summer months when the corn 🌽 fields are in full bloom.

I can't explain the vibes I got, when visiting.A truly spiritual experience, for me, and I haven't pinpointed why, yet.You must meet Al, who was out there, tending to the infield.He's been a staple there for 33 years, and shared with me that he's picked up the title, Godfather Al.A wonderful man, he was.This place is a must do, in my book.

Awesome staff at the gift shop. He gave us a great recommendation for where to eat. We had a great time playing baseball even though it was cold. It was worth the trip

Absolutely awesome!! My wife and I started to get excited on that memorable drive up (the one where you see all the headlights headed towards the field) to the property. This place screams the spirit of baseball in a gentle way. Standing in the corn and then walking out gave me the chills. From sitting in the stand looking out over the iconic field to standing by the memory filled front porch swing, it was an amazing experience. Just reminded me of simpler times before we became so wrapped up technology.The gift shop and food stand were also very cool. Have a beer with Ray! Also, the additional stores and museums in town are worth a visit as well.

Don't get me wrong....this place is BEAUTIFUL. The baseball field is absolutely amazing and being there was incredible. Upon arrival, the lady at the gate asked if we wanted to make a donation....we bought tickets to tour the house, we kinda thought that was a donation. She was nice though, we just didn't like the donation part (which we didn't do). Also, the "gift shop" is extremely overpriced. $42 for a baseball cap is ridiculous and so is everything else in that place. I get that they don't make the prices in there since that is a Baseballism thing BUT they should be able to have something on site that is actually affordable. Once our house tour time hit, we were greeted by Craig....again, extremely nice BUT he talked the ENTIRE time and didn't really give us a chance to soak everything up in the house. There were some really neat things in there. I'm glad I have pictures. Craig recommended several times that we go to the "If You Build It" exhibit after the tour because he said that the prices were cheaper there for souvenirs. We went and it was closed....only opened two days (Saturday and Sunday). For those of you who want to go AFTER May 25, it should be regular hours then. I highly recommend going to check this place out because it is so neat. I just don't think the house tour is worth it....and definitely don't go in the gift shop part because that place is ridiculous!

If you are a baseball fan, or just a fan of the movie, this place is a must stop. I would have stayed all day If I had the time. Do take the house tour, book in advance, it is interesting. Played ball with some total strangers, such a great enviroment. Everyone is there because they love baseball. Felt like a kid again.

Hats off to all the owners over the years for having preserved this iconic site! It is magical from the time you drive up the driveway to the time you pull away! Even though the corn had been harvested, it still seemed like Shoeless Joe Jackson would appear and want to play ball. We even took a few swings on the field with the gear that is provided for your enjoyment, and other families did the same. The house tour was extremely informational, I highly recommend it! ($20/person) I have mixed feelings about all of the ball fields that are in the works to be built around the original, but still think it’s worth every mile to come and have the experience of standing on the Field of Dreams!

Legendary Bluff and easy access. Drive up, walk out. Lots of history, great fews almost 360. Beautiful day, go early!

Beautiful views, shady spots to rest, restrooms and wonderful displays of history. Worth the scenic drive up for sure!

Best place to visit during fall. Amazing view and trails.

Very beautiful and such a large park. There are gorgeous overlooks and trails everywhere. I'm a photographer and this was an awesome spot to take engagement photos in Wisconsin!

Definitely worth checking out when visiting LaCrosse! It over looks an entire city area, but it was easy to look past that and find a sense of what the land would have looked like before lacrosse was established. The only knock on it would be, there are not signs at the trailheads to tell you exactly what trail it is, route, distance, and if it is bike/hike specific. WORTH THE STOP, CHEERS!

Really great view of La Crosse and surrounding area up here. It's been a few years since I've been to this spot but I have some classic photos to add. Was here on a date and it went well, partially due to this location where we had to snuggle up since it was somewhat cold and windy that day. I am trying to make it back here this summer so I may be back with some updates once I can find myself a date. haha. But seriously I will be back soon.

Worth the 10 minute trek up the bluff for a spectacular view overlooking La Crosse and the Mississippi River Valley.

Beautiful views up on Grandad Bluff. The wind can get rather cold, especially in March so dress accordingly and bring binoculars if you want to get a close up on the stunning valley views.

It was a cool, windy day, but still beautiful! The pathways are always kept clear of debris and the Fall foilage is at its peak. You can see for miles. Worth checking out!

Beautiful views and historical landmarks. Trails were hilly and well kept. It is very warm in June—90s, humid and limited breeze on the trails. Keep this in mind when planning your hike. There were bathrooms up at the top.

Fantastic views of the city and surrounding area. Well kept up park and worth the visit.

Love the views. Easy to walk to. Bathroom cleanThe park was well maintained. A must see land mark ‼️

This was my 2nd trip but my families 1st time to visit. Love the beauty of the area!

Beautiful trail system with challenging trails and amazing views, didn’t see many others as we enjoyed a lovely lacrosse day in the fall!

Absolutely beautiful view and great new trails recommend for meditation or nature vibes…. Enjoyed and I will be back 😃

INCREDIBLE PLACE!!! We (two people in their mid-20s) spent almost 4 hours there. With kids you could easily spend more. MANY hands-on science activities, animals to see, and PLENTY to learn about. Staff INCREDIBLY knowledgeable with questions. A FANTASTIC place to spend a morning :)

Great museum. Two buildings, both two floors and both have aquariums. Loved the touch pools for sting rays and one for starfish, and sea cucumbers. There was also an outdoor section for a wet land exhibit and birds. They also had a large boat that you could explore. Lots of information and interactive exhibits it's. All staff we meet was very friendly and helpful. I would recommend bringing quarters outdoor pond to feed the fish.

My kiddos love it! Been there 3 times every time I find something different I haven’t seen on my previous visit! Must go! A lot of history! Fun activities for the kids !

Great place for the family! So much to see and do. The museum and aquarium is very interesting. It’s two separate buildings and an outside part. My daughter really enjoyed coming here. Our favorite part was the aquarium/seeing the fish.

Lots to see, inside and out. I personally loved the historical, natural history, environmental displays. My kids really had fun with the interactive displays, and of course the stingrays. Be prepared to have your kids get wet!Most of saltwater area was closed when we were there, unfortunately, so I can't comment on that.From their website, and view from the parking lot I actually thought it would have even more to see and do. But there is plenty the way it is.Cost is fairly high in my opinion, but I'm a cheapskate. No worse than going to a movie, or out to eat for a family. They need to pay the bills too, and you're supporting an educational gem in the process.They periodically have traveling displays that visit to add to the amount you can see and do.We would definitely go again!

Amazing science, natural history, and history museum. Excellent. I've had the privilege to visit the big museums in DC, New York, Chicago and elsewhere, and the Mississippi River Museum punches well above its weight for an establishment located in a small out-of-the-way city. The quality, variety, depth, and curation of all parts of the museum and its grounds are excellent. Well worth the trip!

Great way to spend the day! Our group all had fun (kids aged 3, 6 & 15 + adults) with plenty to explore in each area. The aquarium tanks in both buildings were the favorite of all. The STEM labs had truly engaging & fun activities and the water table was a nice play break.The space is beautifully designed and easy indoor outdoor transition- seemed very wheelchair/stroller friendly.Don’t miss checking out what’s on board the William M. Black 🛳️ we had fun talking about what life on a boat would be likePleasantly surprised at cafe offering and gift shop 🛍️ The entire staff was kind and welcoming and the space was clean. Despite going on a Summer Saturday and it was busy, it didn’t feel crowded.We will be back again!

We loved it! We enjoy walking through the museum, petting the stray fish, learning of the Mississippi River history, it’s beginning and the development of the area around it. Really great experience for me and family

Great museum and aquarium. There were a lot of interactive visits for my 2 and 4 yo I clouding two different water tables. There was a free makers space with basic art supplies and a bunch of interesting 3-d printers which were not available for use but neat to see and an informative employee was there to answer questions. Lots of cool animals to see including otters, alligators, snakes, an eel, fish, and raptors. We were there for 2 hours and there was still more to see. We skipped over most of the more adult stuff but there was planeta to read and learn for a more mature audience.

We loved our experience! So much to see and do for all ages. Our kids (5 and 3) had a blast. A lot of educational, interactive and live animals to enjoy. Highly recommend. We can't wait to visit again and check out the 4D theater and pet the sting rays.

Buy tickets in advance and save a couple of dollars to use in their cafe. So much to do and see and touch. This is a real hands-on educational gem. We've been here many times and every time there is something new to explore, and older to re-explore The stingray touch and see tank is always a delight. Be gentle and the stingrays will come back for more touches. The cozy IMax like film theater allows everyone a phenomenal seat. The (at least 3D) films are worth the slight extra cost... Especially film #2 when purchased together with film #1. Marvelously they can both be 4D!! Films change frequently and they're always interesting and educational. Visit both indoor sides and it's outdoor middle. History and the future come alive behind every door and the information might be presented by a person, video, computer, well designed display or some other way. Additionally we met Tom and Becky there. They are wonderful to watch; however, you have to go to know how well they are doing what they otter.

Great place for all ages!! Very large complex, and you have the opportunity to see it over 2 days included in the price of admission. Pet the rays, see the fish, tour the riverboats, see a short 4D film, and explore some science themed exhibits.

The River Museum was not only very educational but all very interactive. As soon as you walk in you’re greeted by the nice attendants in the front. They inform you where certain exhibits are located and what’s located in the other building (as this place is HUGE) . For any pressed penny collectors out there , there is one machine in the main building and one in the second. The second building contains all the salt water fish along with the child play area. My favorite was the otter and the sting rays. On their website they have a live camera to view the otter from 8am- 5 pm alongwith a live camera to view the Mississippi River. Definitely recommend for all to visit.

A smaller aquarium but still very enjoyable. I loved the otter, the octopus, and the raptures! The boat museum was an added bonus. Even though we went on the day there were many little kids dressed for Halloween, we still enjoyed ourselves. We were able to see everything. The added Halloween decor and band playing made it extra fun!

Will definitely not get tired of visiting aquariums! Staffs are very approachable and knowledgeable! One of the best aquarium I’ve been too, great service! Their stingrays are very social as well and we definitely enjoy it! They have a large area as well and another building so there’s really too much to see!

Great place to go. My kids LOVE petting the sting rays and the sea anemones. There used to be another play area upstairs I thought but I don’t know what happened to it. Your ticket is a 2 day pass, my kids only spent about 2 hours there before they were ready to leave. I have a 6 year old and 8 year old. The boat was put away for the season so that usually takes about 30 minutes and they were too cold to go to the marsh area. But they had a lot of fun. We went the next day to pet the stingrays again and play in the kid area. We were also members with out zoo so we were able to get a discount!

This was a marvelous family adventure. Everyone learned a lot about engineering, tools, pioneers of innovation, conservation, Native Americans, trades, floods, stingrays, & a lot more!! I encourage everyone to make this visit, so worth it!!We were even able to touch sting rays, starfish, & sea anemones😆😆😆 totally Fantastic experience!!

Really well curated museum, fun aquarium. Can easily spend half a day here. Especially if the weather is good--get outdoors!

Great place to visit grand kids loved it, indoor and outdoor bits to visit. Outdoor you can wander round the dock and explore the old dredging paddle steamer. Indoors there's the aquarium with fish, alligators touch pools, displays on the Mississippi and it's flood plains. There's a kids discovery area with pools too play in, with an activity room.There's a old line shaft driven machine shop with lathes, planner, grinding and polishing wheels radial drill. In the second building there's more of the story of the Mississippi it's captain's and the natives.There a restaurant with a good clean bathroom.A good gift shop with a good range of bits and bobs.There's offers on the entry prices depending on the mix of the group visiting we got two seniors, two adults and one child in for 109.75 adults are 23.95 seniors 21.95 youth 17.95 under 3 are free

We had an amazing experience - even as 3 adults with no children in our group. We were very pleasantly surprised by the amount of things to see and do here. Our favorite part was walking around the boat. Highly recommend for families and adults alike

So much fun! We took our kids for a day adventure and got to see a lot of cool aquatic life we spent about three hours here and there was so much to see!

Fantastic place. We went about 2 hours before close. Not a lot of people in there but enough to have fun. We sat at the bar and were promptly greeted by Lexy. We perused the menu and I ordered a smoked old fashioned. My wife didn’t know what to have and Lexy suggested a co*cktail that she liked. Both drinks were amazing. It was definitely the best old fashioned I’ve ever had. I then wanted to try their gin, and Lexy suggested 50 shades of your mom. Lexy wins again. Smelled EXACTLY like a lemon shake-up. Tasted so good I limited myself to one because I think I could have tried to drink 30 of them. The .5 oz flights of spirits are great for sampling without committing to one you may not like (but they’re all great so that won’t happen) We had an awesome time chatting at the bar with Lexy and I absolutely would come back here again!

We enjoyed the tour of the distillery with Richard. He is knowledgeable and approachable. The bar keep were friendly and offered suggestions. The seating area was comfortable but the majority of the tables are too high for an individual using a wheelchair; everything else was accessible.

Fun experience touring the distillery. They had a great tour guide, friendly bar tenders and delicious drinks. I'd recommend the stop to anyone nearby, it takes an hour or two for the tour and then time to enjoy a drink or two.

This is my second time at Blaum Bros. The staff is always friendly and there is just a good vibe there. They added a lot of new games and decor. Wish I lived closer because this would be my go-to place!

Stopped in here with a group of friends on my wife's birthday weekend. To say the least this place didn't disappoint. Delicious drinks served by both knowledgeable and attentive bartenders for an affordable price. Everyone we dealt with was friendly and quick to answer any question we may had. Our battender explained the drinks in question and offered advice in regards wo which ones we'd probably like based on our normal drinking habits. We all tried several different drinks and even came up with a few of our own. My absolute favorite though was one that was made with their very own Hellfyre Vodka and blood orange... We all had such a good time and we're already planning a return trip in the near future.

It's really nice, comfortable seating in an upscale vibe establishment. The drinks were a decent pour. Try it!

Gary was a wonderful guide and we enjoyed the tour. We had a couple drinks and they were good. My husband enjoyed watching them smoke his old fashioned drink. The bartenders are knowledgeable and gave me good recommendations.

Blaum Bros. has amazing beverages. Each one I tried was very good. I was pleasantly surprised by the Hellfyre vodka- it wasn’t one I would have tried if I had been given it on the tour and I ended up loving it. Dennis the tour guide was great! He was informative and friendly. I appreciate that kids are welcome. Mark the cat was a hit on the tour. The signature drinks at the bar were delicious. The facility is clean and very nice.

So many delicious co*cktails to try and the bartenders are super friendly! Did the tour a couple years ago and it was very interesting/informative

We went to the location on Main Street in Galena. The place has a great atmosphere. We got You Too, Brutas drink and it was like an orange dreamscicle. We also got to see someone get a smoked Old Fashioned which was fun! Would be interested to go to the other location for a tour and tasting

The tour was very informative and fun. Super friendly staff.

Fantastic co*cktails and a tour to boot! The tour guide is incredibly knowledgeable about spirits, and history of spirits which added a nice touch to our experience. Samples at the end!We enjoyed a couple rounds from the co*cktail menu, and nothing disappointed. Highly recommend just about everything in the menu. One in our party stated it was the "best damn chocolate martini she's ever had ".Ya'll, the bourbon and the hellfire vodka are worth the visit!

We went to Galena for a quick weekend getaway and signed up for a tour at Blaum Bros. Fun atmosphere and very cool bar area! Gary, our tour guide was so friendly and made it so much fun! Very fascinating process to see! And we had some really good drinks! Highly recommend stopping here if ever in Galena!

The tour was great. Gary did a wonderful job of explaining the history of the business and the process. He made it a fun tour.

Wow what a place! I had never been to a distillery before so I’m glad my husband suggested a tour of this gem while visiting Galena. All of the staff were extremely friendly and kind and helpful. Our tour guide was great and gave information and a very fun way. I had zero idea going in how any booze was distilled and when I left I understood the process of the things that they distilled!Needless to say the things that we tasted at the end are not my cup of tea so I cannot say whether or not their alcohol is great from a personal standpoint, but so many of the people were commenting how excellent things were and my husband told me his drinks were smooth and flavorful. I love the story of how the distillery came to be. I definitely think that you should check this place out if you are ever in the area!

I had a couple bourbons and the aged rum. All of their stuff packs a punch, so while it's tasty, it's not for the faint of heart. I didn't have any of their co*cktails, but they looked great. Bottles of anything brown start at $50 each and go up from there, so it's a little pricey if you're looking to take something home. Parking is kind of a mess on a busy day, be warned. Definitely worth a stop - cool atmosphere with lots of barrels, couches, and Golden Tee golf.
