My sister and I and my grandparents loved riding the railbike together! It was a beautiful day and…read morethe railbike is such a unique experience. My grandma didn't even need to pedal because with 3 of us pedaling it was pretty easy. I liked the bridge and the little history markers along the route. Excited to come out later and see the Christmas tour! We loved the yard games and snacks at the depot too! I'm glad the confirmation email recommended bringing water and sunscreen as it was a bit hot by the afternoon, but we were prepared. We liked the snacks at the turn around too. My grandpa especially liked the history presentation, and asked the staff lots of questions about the mines and the railroad stuff. We didn't do the audio history tour but will try it next time. Overall, it was a great family day out!

Railbike Adventure was something I had never done this so I treated myself and my guests that were…read morefrom California to an adventure. It was a hot day, we enjoyed it but we all agreed it was a "one and done". The views are good but not great. We were given a speaker to take with us. No explanation of what the purpose of the speaker was so we just synced it with our iphone and played music (which the car behind us did the same so it was dueling music). Maybe that was the purpose??? I think the concept of Colorado Railbike Adventures has so much potential and they could do so much more to make the experience unforgettable but unfortunately, there's was nothing that made me want to come back or spread the word to try this experience. The staff was nice and the manager was great at sharing some history of the RR tracks, coal mining town, and history of Erie.

Wow, my yesterday's visit to this historic park was so mesmerizing. It's because of their annual…read more(?) "Bright Nights" (originally a lantern festival.) It is said that they unveil a brand new theme each year and this year's theme appears to be focused on some Eastern cultures such as cherry blossom and bamboo forest with pandas. Not that I have been to many lights shows and yet I must say that I have never seen anything quite like this as far as my recollection is accurate. In its 12-acre land, the installations of lantern lights are everywhere. After 8:30pm or so when it's dark, the illuminations from the lanterns are glowing brighter than Las Vegas' illuminations (LOL - why am I comparing this to Las Vegas!!) According to the park's website, some of the sculptures are 23-foot tall (such as the cherry blossom gate.) It's currently open from Wednesday through Sunday until October 5th. And last night's was one of the adult-only nights where you must be 21+ to enter (I believe the next and last such night is Sept 17th. And this writing is as of late August of 2025.) I am already curious as to what the next year's theme is going to be. There is a centralized bar, some food vendors, a stage where a performer performs, and a DJ booth. Great for family time, girls' night or date night. Helpful staff were working tirelessly to assist all visitors. Although about 1,300 tickets were sold last night, it was never super jammed packed. There is still time to visit this enchanting light show. Not only for the locals but definitely one of the must-visit attractions for out-of-staters as well.

We just moved to the area and were looking for something to do. I found out Denver has many free…read moreevents. So, this is the first one we attended. I brought my 16, 5, 2 and NB. They greeted us immediately and gave us a map of the property. We had fun walking around and checking out the animals and historic buildings on site. It is wild this place is right in the middle of a neighborhood. The only issue we had was parking because we the lot is full you're out of options.

Our guide Anthony was great. Very chill guy who knew his way around the bike and the area…read more Communication with the company/guide was fantastic and they were very responsive, even giving me a discount after I forgot to enter the discount code and later refunding some of the cost due to technical difficulties with the bike. However there were some pretty severe technical issues with the bike itself: the gearing was WAY off leading to some people having all the resistance and others barely being able to do anything. This meant we barely moved faster than a brisk walking pace (our friend actually managed to keep up with us during a phone call walking along the sidewalk!). This also fed into a secondary issue where the board above near your knees was a bit too close and, especially with little resistance, it was all to easy to smack into it hurting yourself. Lastly adjusting the seats was a bit difficult. For the amount of money I expected a bit more direction and time but you can only drink so fast. The tours listing 3-4 stops on their site seem ambitious even with a faster vehicle. In two hours we managed to hit two breweries. While we had a good time and the bike made for a fun team experience we could've just as easily have walked the whole thing. I'd home in the future they can make the experience a bit more worth the cost. We saw many of these types of tours in the RINO district where the breweries are closer together and the roads less intimidating/car-filled so that might be a better area for this.

As a beer enthusiast this was the perfect outing. We got to check out some amazing brews and had a blast cruising around. The breweries were fun but I have to say the most fun was pedaling around let by our guide Anthony who was super chill and fun. He really made it a memorable experience. This is a must do while in Denver, just make sure you book ahead of time as they where pretty booked when I first checked.

This annual home tour raises funds for the Denver School of the Arts. (Yes, this seems odd since…read moreDSA is in Park Hill and this tour takes place on the opposite side of town. But who am I to question such things. It also seems like there's a "the" or two missing somewhere in the name of the tour, but again, I know nothing.) With 9 astounding historic places on the tour this year, I can only imagine that it will be wonderful year after year. It was founded by the owners of the Lumber Baron Inn, which is apparently featured on the tour every year. From their loving and astounding restoration of a previously condemned Victorian on 37th Ave., you know they have an eye for what makes the Highlands area so great. While the wow factor of the homes on the tour was undeniable, I have to be honest and say that the event lacked organization. Given that it is a fundraiser, you have to give some wiggle room for amateur planners, but if they went on other neighborhood tours they might learn a few things: like publicize the same starting time in all advertisements (not 11 am in some places, noon in others), make it clear where and when you can purchase advance tickets (I tried to buy mine directly from the school, prominently listed as a place to buy tickets, and was turned away), get a certain traffic flow going through the homes (present in some, not all). I will say that I spoke with the owners of the Lumber Baron, Julie and Walt Keller, since their number was on the tour's website. They were wonderful to deal with and very kindly helped me out with my ticket snafu although they are not the planners themselves and were in no way responsible. I hope that the planners can work out some kinks in the coming years. But even if they don't, and they keep the same caliber and diversity of homes in the future, I will highly recommend this tour for anyone who loves historic homes, regardless of the inconveniences!

My friends and I were wondering the neighborhood for the highlands garage sale day and came across…read morethe Jewels of the Highlands open house. When we walked up to the house we were asked to put on booties, no big deal, the lady asked to stamp a booklet and we said we didn't have a booklet and they let us in. Little did we know that it was not an open house. We made it nearly to the back of the house on the main floor and another woman host yelled at us from across the room as if we were three adolescents misbehaving. It was so embarrassing to be yelled at by an adult in a public yet in a professional setting. The three of us are homeowners in the neighborhood and were shocked to be treated so rudely by people that share a love for our area. The host rudely demanded that we need to show her our papers and then asked us to immediately leave and not return unless we purchased tickets. She did explain that it was for a fundraiser for Skinner middle school but her tone and approach were completely unprofessional and alarming. Needless to say I will not be purchasing tickets to go to another home show.

Rick and David were awesome and very knowledgeable guides! They made us feel welcome and really owned the Brunch tour while providing great customer service. They promoted fun and helped connect all of the guests on the bus... after 15 minutes, we no longer felt like strangers. If you are considering the Brunch Bus or have just stumbled upon this review by chance, I would say don't hesitate - the Brunch Bus is even more fun than it sounds in the description and you will be happy you did it :) Note: We are Denver locals and had been to most of the places on the tour and STILL enjoyed it and learned a lot about the restaurants and bars we went to - Especially loved Mile High Spirits!
