The Columbine Memorial is a place of peaceful reflection and observance of what happened on April 20, 1999. The committee that created and oversaw its construction did a wonderful job as this is one of the most beautiful memorial sites that Ive been too. To visit this location go around to the back of the high school and follow the path to the top of the hill that overlooks Clements park.

This was an emotional experience going to this memorial for the first time, 20 years after that dreadful day in April 1999. Reading the inscriptions of each of the twelve students plus Coach Dave Sanders were very moving. The location of the memorial is hidden, in a way. In making the turn off of Pierce Street from where the main campus of Columbine High School is (and it is a campus due to how massive the school grounds are), you'll have to park adjacent to a couple of baseball/softball fields. Walking up a hill was unexpected, yet not bad. After all, you ARE in Colorado- get use to hills. After reaching the top of the hill, the memorial is on the left. Like anything else, the experience at the memorial is uniquely your own. One thing that I took from the experience of being here is a quote written on one of the many inscriptions within the memorial plaza- remembering how the Columbine victims lived, as opposed to how they died. Another inscription that I read is also one of the questions that are still relevant to this day- Have we learned anything from the Columbine experience? This is a question that may be classified as TBD (to be determined). Columbine victims, you'll never be forgotten. I certainly won't, or can't.

Incredibly touching and sobering to step into this memorial and consider the heartbreak felt by the community. It was moving to see small windows into the lives of those who died, as well as those who continue to grieve them.

Absolutely beautiful, despite the reason why this place exists. I had the opportunity to visit this on the anniversary of that fateful day with a friend who volunteered at Columbine with the Red Cross following the shooting.

Very somber and reverent feeling while there. Everyone who remembers the Columbine school shooting and has the opportunity to visit should do so, first to honor those innocent victims who lost their lives that fateful day, and second, so that we will "Never Forget." The memorial doesn't really have directions or signage to it so you may need to look at Google Maps to find the exact spot. It's located on top of a small hill in Robert F. Clement park which neighbors Columbine High School to the North and is where they sent most of the students to run to during the shootings. The memorial is on the north side of the school and is slightly obscured by new softball fields built in the area, one of which is dedicated to Dave Saunders, the teacher and coach killed during the shootings. The memorial is a few hundred yards directly west of the field which bears his name.

Before we left Colorado, we were in the area and I just had to stop by and pay respects. This terrible event really shaped me as a kid. The memorial was very peaceful. Sad but peaceful. So glad the city created this little spot.

The horror that occurred at Columbine High School in 1999 happened during my 2nd year as a teacher. This event shook me to my core, and immediately changed me as an educator. While visiting Denver, I felt compelled to visit this memorial and pay my respects. The memorial, although near ball fields and the actual school, seems to be tucked away into a little nook of its own. Although heartbreaking, I loved reading the tributes and descriptions of each victim. The different quotes found on the wall that surrounds the memorial were so powerful. It's definitely a peaceful place to reflect and remember not just the horrors of that day but also what we can do to prevent future events.

Really nice memorial for all the lives taken on April 20, 1999. We visited the memorial with family and spoke to our younger children about the incident as we walked around the outside of the school campus. My prayers continue for all of the families and that each family will remain connected to God through Jesus and allow him to bring them daily peace and understanding.

This little theater is very intimate. There are 260 seats and they are pretty close together. The…read moreends of the rows angle toward the stage while the seats next to them face forward. That creates a very small space for the people next to each other to put their legs. I was in seat C13, hubby was in C12 and the 6ft. tall lady in C11 had to vie for leg room. I believe the seats are original to the theater. My seat was lumpy and not at all comfortable. It was directly behind the seat in front of me so I had to lean to the side to see the stage. That said, the building has a very interesting history. It was originally built in the 1920's as the Town Hall for Littleton. A fire truck was kept in what's now the lobby and there was a jail in the basement. The whole building has a historical feel. The staff was friendly and welcoming and their production of Avenue Q was excellent. Parking is along Main Street which could be a challenge so I recommend arriving early.

I bought the tickets and knew that there wouldn't be a bad seat in the place, but with it being my favorite play, I chose the front row. It did not disappoint as we were a little raised from the stage so you're not looking up straining your neck the entire time. The refreshments sold are of a wonderful variety and the canned bloody mary was delicious! I do wish they had cup holders simply because I'm accient prone. I would love to see another play here soon!

The inventory at Reinke's is incredible. Yes, it has costumes for Halloween for that one month out of twelve where they celebrate that holiday and host a haunted house. But the rest of the year this place has everything you'd possibly want to host a Star Wars themed party, St. Patrick's Day bash, Mardi Gras gathering, create a magic show or produce a Broadway play. Room after room are filled with every imaginable item to change your appearance from scary to sexy. They also have makeup, masks, stage props and lots of different magic tricks. I was overwhelmed by the extent of their inventory. The kids had fun looking and playing with everything and we purchased some small items just for fun. I'm sure we'll be back.

The Best Date Night and Scenic Train Ride in Colorado--Absolutely Worth Every Penny!…read more If you're visiting Colorado, the Royal Gorge Route Railroad should be at the top of your bucket list. It is, without question, one of the most spectacular ways to experience the Royal Gorge. The towering canyon walls, rushing river below, and breathtaking scenery make you feel completely immersed in one of North America's most incredible natural wonders. From the moment we arrived, the staff made us feel genuinely welcome. Everyone was friendly, professional, and passionate about making our experience memorable. We booked the Vista Dome with dinner, and it exceeded every expectation. The food was delicious, the cocktails were excellent, and the service was attentive without ever feeling rushed. Once dinner was over, we explored the open-air cars, and that alone was worth the trip! We spotted deer along the riverbank, a majestic bald eagle soaring overhead, and even a beaver swimming below. Being outside while the train winds through the gorge is something you simply can't capture in photos--you have to experience it for yourself. I've read reviews mentioning the price, but after experiencing it firsthand, I couldn't disagree more. For a luxury train ride, exceptional service, a wonderful dinner, handcrafted drinks, and access to scenery you can't experience any other way, it is an outstanding value. This is so much more than a train ride--it's an unforgettable adventure and one of the best date nights we've ever had. Whether you're celebrating a special occasion, planning a romantic evening, or simply looking for a truly unique Colorado experience, I can't recommend the Royal Gorge Route Railroad highly enough. We left already talking about our next trip back!

I was disappointed that the gift shop didn't carry 3XL shirts or sweatshirts. Large women and men love souvenirs too, and we're happy to spend money when the options fit! The food was just okay. I ordered the beef nachos -- the portion was huge and definitely shareable -- but they lacked flavor, and I only ate a few bites. Steve said his burger was fine but nothing to write home about. The highlight of our trip was the open‑air car, made even better by our host, Brett. He was incredibly knowledgeable about the canyon, pointed out landmarks, helped us spot bighorn sheep and deer, and took photos for anyone who asked -- always making sure the background was perfect. Thanks to him, we have beautiful memories captured from our ride. Be sure to tip Brett -- he absolutely deserves it!
