I have a crush on Union Station. I mean what's not to love?!…read more From the iconic exterior, to the holiday decor and lights, to the assortment of local businesses, to the convenience of mass transportation - Union Station has got it going on! I used to travel through Union Station twice a week when I was commuting to Downtown Denver for school. Post graduation has made my visit less frequent, but more that much more special. My husband and I usually make our way Downtown once a year for an event or a date night. Grabbing drinks at Terminal Bar as we soak up that absolute vibe that is Union Station. Still crushing hard after all these years. Thanks Union Station for being the historic beaut you are!

Shoutout to the amazing guy to held the train door open when he saw us running across the street! The station is pretty easy to get to, has plenty of parking, and the train came on time. We caught it on our way back to the airport and it was easy to navigate our way there from Central Park Station.

This location is the second stop from Union Station on the RTD's University of Colorado A Line…read moretrain to the Denver airport. It includes parking for 200 cars plus 12 bike lockers and 18 bike racks. Bus routes 24, 37, 40, and 44 connect to this location. Travel time to the airport is 28 minutes and to Union Station 10 minutes. The signage on 40th Avenue pointing to this station is minimal and it is easy to miss the turn onto Jackson Street. The bus section is excellent, but the area for private vehicles to pick up or drop off passengers is very awkward. One must either back in or pull onto a dead-end road stub with no turn-around and then attempt to maneuver into the opposite direction. The only reason this design makes sense is as an attempt to discourage automobiles.

Some shelter if being rained on, but not a ton. No nearby benches. Depending what time of day you are here you will be milling amidst a swarm of arriving/departing productive workers, leaving with the night shift crew, or possibly trying to evade shady homeless-type folk. I work on the Mall, and I can say I've had fewer people approach me for money or want to engage me in unhinged conversation around this area than other spots along 16th. Pretty heavy flow of trains until 11pm at night.

It's well-lit and sees plenty of regular foot traffic, but hopping a train to Auraria Campus or Englewood Station right from the convenience of Denver's most popular pedestrian mall can't be overstated. The Walgreens is probably pretty convenient, too, if you fancy making sure your flu shot is current before exposing yourself to public transportation and all its associated pathogens.

Shoutout great public transportation…read more RTD Union Station has been the beginning and end of many memorable nights downtown. If you're headed downtown for some fun, I recommend checking if RTD is available near you. From concerts and sporting events at Denver's top venues to bar hopping or skating downtown, RTD Union Station is a great and reliable way to get to and from your event. Did someone say free DD for the night? RTD has you covered. I found it to be safe and well taken care of, though I recommend the buddy system when possible. RTD Union Station is ALSO the perfect way to get to and from the Denver International Airport affordably. It makes solid time as well, considering how far Denver International Airport is from the city.

Had a 6+ hour layover in Denver and thought it would be "fun" to leave the airport, catch the train…read moredowntown and "explore." Boy was that a mistake. After navigating the labyrinth that is exiting the airport made it to the train. Trains were parked and waiting so hopped on. It was cool-ish in there. Pretty empty. Had places to put your luggage. Seats were large and comfortable ish. They had a cling on the windows that made it hard to see out and hard to tell if it was the cling or just dirt on the window. Got to union station, got off the train and promptly tripped on a curb, sending my luggage tumbling and my back pack flying. There was a tiny lip of a curb that extends from where there were steps. Scraped several layers off my knees that over month later is still not fully healed. Had several kind people stop and offer to help me up. It wasn't that I could not get up but that my knees stung so bad I couldn't stand just yet. Security came over to ask how I was and admitted what happened to me happens to others. Thought then maybe they should paint it, or put something around it or a warning but I guess not. Wandered around downtown and came back here to catch the train back to the airport. Also weird on the train they had people asking to see your ticket. I explained I had done the tap to pay and had my credit card out (assuming he had a hand held device that he could tap to verify I had paid) but they did not. They walked through at least 3x in the ride from the airport to downtown and asked each time. Don't plan on trying to ride the train again here.

Westminster Station, Sept, 2026. We husband and I decided to take public transit (train) from our…read moreaccommodations in Westminster to downtown Denver to avoid city parking and traffic. It wasn't as seamless as expected. Problem one. Westminster Station has a lot of garage parking -- IF you're driving a vehicle of normal height. We, however, were in a Class B RV (which is of normal length but is tall at 9+ feet. We couldn't fit in the garage, and the on-site parking lots ALL had a 3-hour maximum stay limit. (Most of these spaces were empty, but we couldn't use them because we would need more than three hours to get to the city, walk around, and then come back. We ended up parking on a city street. Problem two. The station did not have any human staff -- to answer questions or to ensure security. Problem three. The trains to Denver were on an hourly schedule. We missed one as we were looking for parking. Similarly, we had a long wait for our return trip because we hadn't checked the schedule ahead of time. That said, the train was still convenient and reasonably priced, with drop-off near Union Station. Tickets were easy to purchase. We each purchased a one-day pass for $5.50. (Staff checked in both directions that we had indeed purchased tickets).

This station serves the Empower Field stadium where the Denver Broncos play and also host other events and outdoor concerts. Again, if you read my review for stop one, this station also serves the same benefit of avoiding downtown traffic and parking. Although after a Broncos game, the train can become very full, but theres usually another train coming in 15 min intervals.

That means riders are crossing each other to get to the front of one train or the back of another. More focus on ensureing there's no fair evasion vs organized boarding or safety.

The light rail here, providing transportation connecting the airport to the downtown area and beyond, served us well during our visit.
