There is nothing more magnificent than seeing natural beauty created by our awesome God. The amphitheater was a sight to see. It's amazing that it was man made. There are a total of three marked hiking trails. We hiked the difficult and medium trails. They weren't that bad at all. The different elevation did make it tough at times, but what an accomplishment it felt when we finished. Also, the view along the way was great. So don't forget to stop and just look around! They also have an easy trail, which is nice, especially if you're taking small children. The visitor center was neat as well with some fun facts and history. There is also a Trading Post where you can purchase souvenirs. The shirts are crazy expensive, but if you shop in the clearance section, it is more affordable. If you're hungry, there is one restaurant there with reasonable prices, but of course more on the pricier side. However, I think it would add to the experience if you brought your own food and picnicked along the way or eat at the end. You can definitely spend a whole day here! It's great for a family outing, date, friends hang out, or even just to enjoy solo. I highly recommend visiting this place, especially if you're from out of town.

Also, the visitor center has a few exhibits on the history of the Red Rocks Amphitheater (and celebrities and rock stars who have performed here). But Red Rocks Park has lovely hiking trails beyond the amphitheater. Just make sure that you bring a bottle of water, hat, and sunglasses if it's a sunny day. It's also worth picking up a local map so you can estimate which hike to take based on the amount of time you have available. The trails do not provide any shade, so a hat and sunscreen are essential. If you have a few hours to spare while visiting Denver, be sure to plan a day trip here if the weather is nice!

The buffalo bill museum still exists in its "old form." See it soon before the city/county of Denver (the owner of all this land, despite it being well outside Denver city limits) changes it.

It was no frills which I appreciated, the animals were in there home, not forced to perform, yet unbothered by the attention. It really gave a good insight of how livestock businesses are realistically ran, as well as how to do it sustainably. It gave a true insight on the things to think about, highlighting the fun parts, the ethical and financial burdens, and the realities behind the romance.

A Truly Memorable Alpaca Experience…read more We visited Smooth Alpaca Experience as a group of six, ranging in age from 12 to mid-60s, and every one of us absolutely loved it. Joe was wonderful -- fun, informative, kind, humorous, and incredibly knowledgeable. He made the entire experience engaging for both kids and adults alike. We especially enjoyed getting to know all of the alpacas, along with the hilarious three brother goats who definitely put on a performance for us! We learned so much about alpaca behavior, personalities, eating habits, the shearing process, and the care involved in raising them. It was also fascinating to see the finished alpaca products, including socks, hats, gloves, sweaters, and blankets, and to better understand the process from animal to finished product. Overall, this was a unique, educational, and genuinely enjoyable experience that we would highly recommend. Joe made the day extra special!

Tiny Town. A town that is tiny!…read more I'm so glad I read the reviews first so I knew what to expect. My daughter and I arrived around 11am and we decided to have a little picnic in the back of the car, which seemed easier than trying to carry stuff through TT until we reached the picnic tables. The scenery is so pretty here, which made our little trunk picnic even more special! My daughter is 5 and was probably JUST young enough to enjoy it. We rode the train first--a short but cute ride--and then made our way through the town. She loved checking out all of the buildings, as well as seeing how they were decorated inside. So many dolls and scenes! The playground is sparse and outdated, but of course we had to spend a little time there. Our only negative experience was with the woman working the register in the gift shop. We were buying something, and my daughter picked up a little trinket that you're supposed to turn over + watch the bubbles move. Instead of just asking her to put it down (again: it's for playing with! And it was right in front of her face!) she ripped it out of her hands. While this doesn't classify as touching someone else's kid, it was close enough for me. Overall, a 4-star experience! I'm glad we took the time to go.

I'm glad I was able to show her a spot from my childhood.

For 2 ladies in their late 40's this was an adventure we will never forget!! 10 out of 10 would do and probably will do again next time we are in town.

Last year my husband surprised me and bought tickets to see my favorite band Incubus perform here in July. I could not believe it and was so very, very excited! We arrived a little early which gave us time to hike and explore the park portion and to learn more about the history of this place (another review). Upon arrival, we had made reservations to dine in their restaurant before the show. Promptly at six, we were let in. This place is massive and is an open air amphitheater that holds approximately 9,500 people. The city of Denver owns and operates it. It is well known due to the huge monolith rocks that surround it. They are called "Ship Rock" and "Creation Rock". In the upper level, there are plenty of vendors selling food, beer, merchandise etc. Once you begin the ascent down to your seats you see how big this place really is. We had terrific seats down low but high enough to still have a view of the city of Denver in the distance. The sound is so well preserved due to the surrounding sandstone formations. The concert was fantastic and I got to hear all my favorite songs. At one point in the show I had to pinch myself just knowing I had finally achieved the goal of seeing a concert here. We also were lucky enough to have a huge full moon come up during the show. The night was indeed magical and I will never forget it. If you haven't been here for a show/concert, I cannot recommend enough what a unique experience it is. You must do it! I am hoping to come back again in the future. To me America shines here with this amazing park and amphitheater. Thank you Colorado!
