1. Benson Park Sculpture Garden
Overall Ratings
5 based on 487 reviews
Largest juried outdoor sculpture show in the United States, takes place each year over the second weekend in August.
Reviewed By nowincolorado - Colorado Springs, CO
When visiting Denver, we wanted to explore the outdoors, get fresh air, and do some walking/hiking and thought this sculpture garden would be a perfect way to start! It is #1 on Tripadvisor for Loveland.
We were a bit disappointed by how small the park is. We printed a map first which showed lots and lots of sculptures but when we got there they didn’t line up with the map.
We saw a good variety of sculptures – some we liked and some we found just a bit strange. The best part of our walk was watching birds quarrel in a tree and squirrels playing tag near by. Which does make me wonder how this park got such a top rating in tripadvisor?

My family and I visited the corn maize and we had a blast. The corn maze was awesome. Plan on spending lots of time on either entrance to it. Fritzlers is a very fun family oriented place. The transformers this year was an awesome added bonus.

VERY disappointed in this production of Kiss Me Kate! Right from the beginning. We have been season ticket holders for several years and rarely have been this disappointed. In fact, this is the first time we left immediately at intermission. The food was not very good. The cod wasn't cooked all the way and I left a third of it on my plate. The flavor was good though and had it been thoroughly cooked would have been a higher rating for food. The chicken was ok, 3 small pieces-no white meat. Let's work on getting a new chef!! Food has been poor this year and that is a main reason why we are not getting tickets for season 11. We will pick and choose to what to see and eat at the diner down the road and see the show in the balcony! The show itself: POOR...music wasn't music, just screeching. Just not enjoyable to watch. They have put on better plays with better performers. I'm sorry, but this show can not be recommended at this time. Save your money if you don't have season tickets.

Let down by these guys for the third time and not going back. Their organization is a mess - like the other review we were let down last weekend - took them 4 days to call us back after multiple calls - they told us to come up, then turned out they cancelled late. Same thing happened last year. This week we called, confirmed by their owner - we drive up from Colorado springs, with friends and kids and they call us this morning to cancel again.
Not going back.
5. Colorado Model Railroad Museum

A year or two ago I'd picked up a brochure on this museum and decided I wanted to see it on my next trip to Colorado. I went yesterday, 9/16/17, driving up from the Denver area.
It was well worth the drive.
Some 5,500 square feet, it features the best of model railroading. The layout is fantastic: huge mountains, rivers, bridges, towering trestles, neat little communities, cities, and industrial areas. The modelling work is simply first rate, and I believe it's all done by amateur volunteers ... but the work is more than professional quality.
There are trains constantly running, by members of the museum, who are super friendly and willing to answer any and all questions. And the trains travel through the entire layout. There was one with orange chemical cars that looked to be nearly 200 cars long with several engines pulling it, through huge curves and up and down mountains. And that was just one of, oh, probably 8 or 9 trains being run on the tracks at the same time.
The main level is 48-inches off the floor (but there are platforms and stools to stand on for shorter folks and kids) and the tops of the mountains are about 98-inches high. And you walk on the main level and upper level to get great views of the entire layout.
And the entire layout is super-detailed ... with small touches most don't see, but which add greatly to the realism and enjoyment of the layout.
There is a small gift shop with some toys and trinkets for sale, as well as some videos.
And there is a fully restored caboose which you can walk through to see how the conductors lived and worked.
Admission is $10 with discounts for seniors and children.
We went through fairly quickly, in just over an hour, but you could easily spend days here and see something different, and wonderful, on every visit.
I will be back!

8. Devil's Backbone Nature Trail

Reviewed By Brooke G - Colorado
This is a staple hike at our home. It is beautiful year round. There is a hike for everyone. The trails are well maintained and the main attraction (the keyhole with sweeping views of the Front Range) are accessible within the first 1-1.5 miles of the hike. There are three loops for those who want a longer jaunt. When our kids were small we would only do the first loop with the views. Now that they are tweens we do the second and third loops. Please note that the keyhole is sometimes closed in the spring for nesting critters.
