We have visited this location years ago before covid hit, and fortunately, we were able to visit…read moreagain in 2026. We were unable to go on the tour because we had a baby with us and an adult would have to sit back with her, which we did not want to do. If you have children over the age of life and want to do the tour, it was $5 per ticket which seems pretty fair. Fortunately, we were able to go to the tea tasting and taste different type of teas. They did not have honey to sweeten the teas, but they did have sugar and an alternative sugar. They had three cold teas, and four hot teas. We especially liked the cold blueberry tea. They had almost eighty different type of teas to choose from on the menu and I got the iced black tea and a warm jasmine tea, both were delicious. The restrooms were clean and everyone seemed very helpful in the tea tasting area. Like I said, we were not able to do the tour, but we were able to go to the gift shop. It was a good mix of things, like snacks, tea towels and cups and measuring spoons. Everything was really cute but I wish I had more options with their name on it, and the picture of the sleeping time bear. I liked a lot of the mugs, but I wanted one that had the bear and the celestial seasoning's name on it, so I left with a magnet and of course, tea. Overall, I would definitely come back when we are in Boulder next time and recommend it to everyone to go at least once.

From every Celestial Seasonings tea you could think of to the cutest merch, there's something for everyone. I was glad the tour was so cheap, because I could really enjoy myself. Slap the sleepy time tea bear on anything and I will certainly buy it.

Visiting NCAR is an extraordinary experience that should be seized by any visitor to or resident of…read morethe area. The complex was designed in 1961 by I. M. Pei, one of the greatest architects of the 20th century, and completed in 1967. Although this was his first major project, it received immediate recognition as a masterpiece of modern design and caused Pei's career to rocket. The buildings are inspired by ancient Pueblo ruins and fit seamlessly into their spectacular foothills setting, rather than trying to dominate the landscape. Meteorology first became criticality important during WWII, but basic research into our weather declined drastically after the war. The National Academy of Sciences approached Congress in 1956 to fund an institute for basic climate research. NCAR has been funded by the National Science Foundation since 1960 and is managed by a consortium of universities. One of NCAR's basic functions is to develop models of our climate and the facility has housed a series of state-of-the-art supercomputers for this purpose. Alas for computer nerds, since 2012 the latest generations of systems are now at the NCAR-Wyoming Supercomputing Center in Cheyenne (there is a nice visitor center and tour if you visit there). NCAR encourages visits by the public and is open every day at no charge. The complex sits at the top of Table Mesa and takes up 28 acres of 565 acres of City of Boulder open space. Getting there is a little tricky. You take Table Mesa Drive through a residential development. The houses suddenly end and you're on NCAR Road which twists seamlessly into the landscape and leads past the main entrance to the huge parking lot. Be careful on the rather steep road as it is used by lots of bicyclists and runners. There's a path from the parking lot to the rear of the complex. A staircase leads to the plaza and public entrance. The setting is gorgeous and there are eight hiking trails of various lengths and levels of difficulty. The main public parts of NCAR are the lobby and adjacent two-level science hall which are packed with dozens of interesting and well-done exhibits, many interactive, that explain the functions of weather and scientific research about it. There's also a small theater, a research library, and Pei's original model of the project. The public is welcome to use the large cafeteria (follow the signs from the exhibit hall) which has great views and hosts a continuing series of art exhibits. I usually stop at NCAR whenever I visit Boulder and always enjoy my time there.

Colorado Sightseer has a variety of tours listed on their website. We chose the Blue Sky Mountain…read moreSummit Tour (fka Mount Evans) which is one of 58 14'ers (that's what they call mountains over 14,000 feet) in Colorado. The tour is a full day, leaving around 8 am from Union Station and arriving back around 430 pm in the afternoon. The tour van is quite comfortable and has three rows of seating in addition to a front passenger seat. I would say that the level of difficulty of the walking portion of the tour is not high, but the summit trail does require a bit of stamina and the air is a bit thinner up there, so you may be unaccustomed to it (more about this below). The other trails at Summit Lake (at 12, 800 ft) and Mount Goliath Natural Area are pretty flat (there are steps down to the lake). After leaving Denver city proper for the mountains, the tour stops for about 30-45 minutes at Mount Goliath visitor station, which has a small visitor center and a roundabout mini trail. What's truly amazing are the extremely old Bristlecone Pine trees, both living and beautifully sculpted old trunks (apparently some are 1500 years old). The trail is right on the tree line where the trees begin to dissipate, apparently because of the extreme winds that befall the mountain sides. Along the way is a very beautiful alpine lake (I can't recall the name). The tour stops for a few minutes (and there's a restroom). Next, the tour van proceeds rather gingerly up a (what some would call harrowing) two lane "paved" road claimed to be the highest in North America. Now, this road starts off all fine and well but proceeds to get more windy and twisty and the shoulders all but disappear with rather large drops just to the side. But we didn't fear, or closed our eyes if needed, because our driver, Emily, was at the wheel and expertly navigated the road, while providing very interesting facts and history along the way. Finally, we reached the summit of Mount Blue Sky. There's a parking lot and a final walking path that winds up to the peak of the mountain, 14,264 feet in elevation. The path is not difficult and there are no steep parts, but there are loose rocks and narrow portions. I did notice that some people had a bit of difficulty with it, but for most, it was very doable. In fact, a cane would be kind of fun to have with you. Once you get to the peak, it's for many a once in a lifetime experience. I mean how many people get to stand on a mountain this high? Luckily, it was a gorgeous day, and the temp was low 60s (it was upper 80s in downtown Denver) and clear enough to see the Denver skyline way, way off in the distance with binoculars. Our guide kept warning us that storms can form suddenly and to be on the lookout. Also, the temp drops quite a bit, so bring something warm, depending on the time of year. There is also wildlife along the tour and I gather that it depends on the day what you'll see. We caught amazing close up views of white-coated mountain goats, adults and cute little ones. In fact, I almost thought one of them would come up to the open door of the van. We didn't see any big horn sheep, but we did spot many marmots, which look like a mountain cousins of the beaver. The last stop was for a late lunch in Idaho Springs, which boasts itself as an old, scenic mining town. There were a few decent places for lunch along a strip closed off for walking, and stores for browsing. Also, there's a museum at one end of the downtown but there was not enough time to visit. The ride back from Idaho Springs was about an hour, leaving you back at Union Station. All in all, the Colorado Sightseer Blue Sky Mountain Summit Tour was amazing! Our tour guide Emily was fantastic, providing a lot of information along the way (including about her life), and a skilled van driver (she had available extra water, snacks, and jackets). I highly recommend the tour for a full day adventure!

It was 3 of us, including my 8-year-old son, and the conditions couldn't have been better--just a little snow, some mud, and plenty of opportunities for big splashes (which my son absolutely loved). We did a 5-hour rental, which felt like the perfect amount of time to explore without feeling rushed. The equipment was in great shape, and even the truck used to haul the ATV and trailer to the trailhead was well-maintained--everything felt professional and dialed in. The team really made the experience stand out. Everyone we interacted with was fantastic, and Andrew in particular was a superstar--he handled both checkout and check-in, made everything easy, and clearly cares about making sure customers have a great time. We'll definitely be back, especially to experience the trails in full snow. Highly recommend all around.
