What travelers are saying
- Anna SColorado Springs, CO13 contributionsA wonderful venue to watch a game. So pretty great food options and a gorgeous field with amazing views. Rockpile seats are awesome and all of the vantage points are top notch. I would recommend this to friends. The ushers are wonderful.Written November 24, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Eva TUnited Kingdom5,659 contributionsThe current station (from 1914) was built on the same spot where the previous one burned down in 1894. Inside the building is Crawford Hotel and many restaurants. They still do some renovation inside when we came to Denver but we still saw how beautiful the building is. The platform are very modern but I think it's not the best solution for only partial cover as when we waited for the train it was extremely hot and there was not enough shady places where to hide and sit. It would also help some indication/signage about coming and leaving trains and destinations. After spending a few days in Denver we travelled to Glenwood Springs but nowhere was an information which platform is the train departing from. We needed to ask several people. Inside was very busy, nearly all tables were occupied. It would help if there will be some information about taxi services as that seems to be problem there. You need to know the phone number because there is no permanent waiting bays for taxi outside the building - after about hour waiting in front of the building my husband went to the hotel reception and the receptionist kindly helped us.
I gave only 4 starts to this review just because of missing information for tourists like us.Written August 22, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Rose HChicago, IL17 contributionsA gorgeous mansion, with a lot of information. It’s a trip on the shorter side as far as time. If you’re really interested in the history I strongly recommend the guided tour.
The house is wonderfully restored, and when we went it was decorated for the holidays.

It is an amazing view from the top!Written September 12, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Sarah KDenver, CO5 contributionsWe signed up for the overnight experience for Girl Scouts, and it did not disappoint! The staff was great at engaging with the kids and keeping all of us busy and learning. The highlight was sleeping alongside the sea life! The breakfast was also pretty good. Our girls loved it. Highly recommend!
I took a star away because the bathroom situation could have been more organized and cleaner in the evening. There was another event going on at the same time as ours with people partying into the evening... seems like they should throw the parties on a night when there aren't 25 little girls staying the night? The floors are also ROCK hard for sleeping, and it seems like the aquarium could purchase some sort of padding for the overnights. They advise everyone to bring pads ahead of time, which we did, but some additional mats on their part would still really help!Written November 16, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Nice place to visit to wind down after a busy day.Written September 26, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Eric KCanada52 contributionsThis is the home of the Denver Broncos football team. Even though I wasn’t there during football season, this stadium and facility is a first class place. If you’re a Denver Broncos fan or just a fan of the NFL, then this is a place to visit. There’s lots of history & memorials for the home team Broncos here. The official team store has just about anything & everything a Broncos fan would want in merchandise & fan fare.Written October 12, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- SnowyShastaPortland, OR2,427 contributionsWe looked up the times of the (free) guided tours online and arrived at the capitol building at the right time for one. The guide was young but well informed, and he gave us a nice overview of the state, and the history of the capital being established in Denver. The building itself is very beautiful, with rose-colored stone that is unique to the area. We were able to visit the house and senate chambers, take photos, and as a highlight go up the stairs to the dome atop the building for some nice views over the city. There is also a museum on the top level, just below the dome. We were the last tour of the day, so only had a couple minutes to browse the displays, so potentially an earlier tour slot would have been better so we could spend more time there looking at the interesting information about the state, the capital, and their history.Written November 15, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- trave1er86 contributionsIf you are interested in how coins are made this is a good tour. We arrived early, since tickets are first come first serve and we only had time in the morning. We had no trouble getting tickets, no line at all, (midweek in late Sept). A few families showed up just before our 7:30 am tour, so our tour had about 12 people all together. There is a security check first, no photos allowed. Our tour guide was interesting and engaging. The tour is good, I did enjoy going, but not a "must see", for me, if your short on time.Written October 14, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Rod T28 contributionsAvalanche game was good. Nice clean arena. Good seats in the stands, and concession booths for food. Lots of security. A plus.Written October 7, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- lucycanSan Diego, CA3,651 contributionsThis is really THE place to be downtown. Its, currently, where all the best restaurants, shopping, living, and parks are. It feels like its own community. I'd love to live here.Written September 10, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- SnowyShastaPortland, OR2,427 contributionsThis cathedral reminds me of those that we've seen in Europe, so it was neat to see one in a US city. We were touring the capitol building, and this cathedral is only a block or so away, so we walked over to see it. The exterior is imposing, and the interior is pretty. Its main color is white, so the colors of the stained glass windows really stand out by contrast. This building isn't a must-see, but it was a fun opportunity to appreciate its architecture and decoration while we were in the area.Written November 15, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- grace gDenver, CO6 contributionsThis was an amazing experience! The collection is truly superb and the historic building adds to the experience. That being said, it is an absolute shame that this museum is only open Monday Wednesday and Friday. I have been wanting to take my husband for a year now, but like the vast majority of employed people he can’t make a weekday before 4:30 work. It really closes off the collection and limits the museums impact in the city.Written July 25, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
