At the heart of Downtown Boulder is the Pearl Street Mall, a wonderfully charismatic four-block-long pedestrian mall that celebrated its 30th anniversary in 2007. Colorful, bright flowers fill the mall almost the entire year and street performers, with a multitude of talents, make the Pearl Street Mall one of the best people-watching destinations anywhere. « less

This pedestrian mall, smack dab in the middle of Boulder's downtown, is the epicenter for all things retail. The good news is that you'll likely discover more local establishments than national chain stores--and that in itself makes it a worthwhile destination. More

this is definetly a difference experience. A neat place to see things out of the ordinary in shops and out of shops. Performers on the sidewalks and people selling their own items. And the scenery from the mall is AMAZING! More
