    Thrill Extravaganza

    Soooo awesome! Easy to get in! Lots of food, fun and awesome rides. Real performers and real stunts! Fun for all ages!

    Biggest reason folks show up? The carnival! This year, tickets included the rides, entertainment and events, exhibitions and even the petting farm (but not Pours on the Plains)! Parking can be a bit of a challenge and so this year I volunteered as a mobility assistance driver. Signage was a little hard to see, especially at night, so please pay attention to the lot attendant and MAT team driver as we announce your lot number. It helps us get you back to your vehicle quick and safe! Food at the fair is typical, from nachos to corn dogs and those indulgent "pastry" funnels. Bring plenty of cash for that as well as the vendors selling their hand crafted items.

    We haven't been to a fair since 2021. We are Southern CA natives. We have always gone to the OC Fair. What a difference. 1st no parking fee 2nd one price all inclusive (rides too) this was huge. (In OC everything cost multiple tickets) The atmosphere was lovely. No rancid smells of garbage, or beer. Just clean fun. Prices were great. Our grandson had so much fun. The events were great. Not over crowded. We actually were able to touch the animals. This is finally what a fair is supposed to be. Very grateful

    I attend the Tanner Gun Shoe here several times a year. I find this venue to be perfect for such shows. There is plenty of parking, a snack shop and clean restrooms. It's in a really nice area and the view of the mountains is really nice. If it has a flaw, it's how far away from my house on the west side it actually is. It takes me about 40 minutes to drive there. It's the perfect venue for gun shows, coin shows or any other such multiple vendor shows. I definitely prefer this venue to the old Merchandise Mart on I-25.

    Four Mile Historic Park - Bright Nights on August 27, 2025

    Wow, my yesterday's visit to this historic park was so mesmerizing. It's because of their annual…read more(?) "Bright Nights" (originally a lantern festival.) It is said that they unveil a brand new theme each year and this year's theme appears to be focused on some Eastern cultures such as cherry blossom and bamboo forest with pandas. Not that I have been to many lights shows and yet I must say that I have never seen anything quite like this as far as my recollection is accurate. In its 12-acre land, the installations of lantern lights are everywhere. After 8:30pm or so when it's dark, the illuminations from the lanterns are glowing brighter than Las Vegas' illuminations (LOL - why am I comparing this to Las Vegas!!) According to the park's website, some of the sculptures are 23-foot tall (such as the cherry blossom gate.) It's currently open from Wednesday through Sunday until October 5th. And last night's was one of the adult-only nights where you must be 21+ to enter (I believe the next and last such night is Sept 17th. And this writing is as of late August of 2025.) I am already curious as to what the next year's theme is going to be. There is a centralized bar, some food vendors, a stage where a performer performs, and a DJ booth. Great for family time, girls' night or date night. Helpful staff were working tirelessly to assist all visitors. Although about 1,300 tickets were sold last night, it was never super jammed packed. There is still time to visit this enchanting light show. Not only for the locals but definitely one of the must-visit attractions for out-of-staters as well.

    Recently went to the Bright Lights event at this park and had a wonderful experience walking around…read morethe luminous colorful tall lanterns. Every inch of the 12 acres had lights and even in the trees and bushes. So many details that it seemed realistic. Many of the lanterns were interactive such as stationary bikes or cranks to power the lights to glow even brighter. The staff were friendly and happy to help. This event is for young and old and I highly recommend going!

This year's Red Rocks display really stood out. Seeing the rocks in the background as soon as you arrive, before even entering, was absolutely stunning. The darker setting made the lights pop even more and truly felt like an experience, not just a drive-through. My mother-in-law and I love doing fun activities together, especially around the holidays, and this has officially been added to our list of favorite Christmas traditions. The lights were gorgeous, the atmosphere was festive, and it definitely brought us into the Christmas spirit to start the week. I've used Groupon before and recommend it for a great deal if you're planning to go. Overall, I loved both locations, but Red Rocks felt extra magical. Highly recommend for a festive and memorable holiday outing!

The bright, colorful lights animated perfectly to holiday music, creating a magical and festive atmosphere. Visiting early in the season (and on a week night) gave me plenty of time to drive through and fully appreciate the display without feeling rushed. Purchasing tickets ahead of the opening day was a smart move, as it offered a better price point too. The location is also very convenient, with quick and easy access to the park, making it hassle-free to enjoy the event. The staff at check in were highly spirited upon welcoming me and explaining the process behind organizing and setting up the display. This one at Arapahoe County Fairgrounds is the bigger of all the 3 Colorado locations. I highly recommend it for a fun, family friendly, festive holiday outing!

I like that The Paint Cellar has more than just canvas options and they provide all the supplies (and more) to allow everyone to channel their inner Bob Ross. Clients pick their project and the price (which varies from $35-$55) includes sipping some of Colorado's finest adult bevvies. This is absolutely perfect for date night, girls night out, or even a birthday party outing. Masks are required except at the painting table. Each table is appropriately distanced and cleaned well between each session.

I was not overly fond of the viewing angle (pretty much 90 degrees from my canvas), and it was a bit crowded among the stools (but these places usually are). The instruction we received was useful and solid. The music was fine. The crowd seemed happy. It would have been nice if a hair dryer had been available so that the pauses for some people waiting for stuff to dry could have been accelerated. The staff was friendly. The house wine and basic beers were only $3 each, and they went down very easily. I would gladly come back here again.
