What to do and see in Boulder, Colorado (CO): The Best Things to do Good for Big Groups

September 25, 2021 Malia Yoakum

Fondly described as “the city nestled between the mountains and reality,” Boulder delivers an urban twist on the outdoor fun you’d expect from a town surrounded by wilderness. In a single day, you can hike miles and miles of trails or bike alongside Boulder Creek – then head back into town for some well-deserved shopping on Pearl Street. And with many of Colorado’s top restaurants right within reach, be sure to treat yourself to at least one great meal.

Beautiful area, great for walking. It's a big far/steep for toddler legs, so be prepared to carry little ones. But even if you don't get very far before turning around, the trip to see the park is worthwhile. Great couple of hours of sunshine, fresh air, and hiking for our family.

Enigma was awesome! I brought my family to Boulder and Rocky Mountain National Park from Kansas City, Missouri. It is difficult to find activities that suit such a range of ages (12-23!). The two oldest are girls. They were very interested in visiting an escape room and had a great time. My 15 year old boy told me that the escape room was his favorite activity, beating out white water rafting, kayaking, hiking in RMNP, and biking on Boulder Creek Path. My twelve year old boy asked IMMEDIATELY after we escaped, “Can we do another?”! Everything from the owner's responsive emails (I had questions), the booking process, the location and escape room themes, to the friendly staff and their clues was top notch. I looked at others, but found the themes too scary or otherwise inappropriate. Enigma provided a classier alternative, and a great team building activity for my kids and I that we will remember for years to come.

Reviewed By 100janicem - Palm Harbor, United States

We stayed at one of the cottages and thoroughly enjoyed the accomodations and the proximity to great hiking for many levels and time constraints. The food at the dining hall is terrific also. The cottages are quaint and remind you of a slower pace. We enjoyed quiet evenings on the porch as well as all of the ammenities needed for a first class stay.

Pearl Street Mall

Situated in the heart of an energetic city is beautiful, historic Downtown Boulder. 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.

Reviewed By malleree - Longmont, United States

Wonderful restaurants, great shopping for many unusual things, entertainment on the mall with various types of artists, beautiful place to walk, especially when the planters along the mall are in bloom. A fun day for all ages!
