Cussler Buick
Chris Y.

I always knew that Clive Cussler kept a good portion of his collection in Colorado, and I had heard that he opened up part of his collection to the public.... so when I happened to be in Boulder, I got on the web and checked out the site- Turned out, it was the VERY LAST DAY of the season! So I jump in the rental car, and jet down to Arvada! I was NOT disappointed! It was AMAZING! Not quite as extensive as Harrah's in Reno, but it felt much more authentic. The cars are amazing, beautiful, one-of-a-kind, awesome, ZOMG, words cannot describe... (especially the Buick convertible in the front!!) It was so interesting, yet concise enough that we could see all the cars before my girlfriend got too bored, haha. I would definitely say that, of all the museums I've been to, this one was my favorite! The ONLY downsides are the limited operating season, and you can't always walk around the entire car, to see it from all angles... there are so many cars, they really had to pack 'em all in there!

Really cool place. Looking forward to next year when they switch the cars. Super friendly employees!

Awesome private collection of American author Clive Cussler!  Vintage cars galore on display! WOW, my husband is in car heaven!

An amazing vintage car lovers heaven! My husband delighted in every moment spent at this venue! Clive Cussler is to be commended for sharing his collection with the public and his adoring fans! Sixty of his 100 vehicles are on display each season; however, any vehicle featured in one of his books is on permanent display! We were impressed by the collection; however, the venue itself is pristine and the collection is truly cared for in a professional manner! So grateful we found this gem in Arvada, Colorado! A must experience for one who admires vintage vehicles!

See all

This seems like it would be a nifty place for a gathering of friends in the speakeasy. It is…read morelocated in the mall across from the movie theater. Plenty of parking available. I came for candlelit yoga. Yoga itself was enjoyable. There was a gentleman playing live music and we were all encouraged to work at our own levels wherever that may be. The instructor was pleasant and encouraging. I found her voice to be calming when I could hear it. However, there was a speed-dating event scheduled at the same time so there was a constant din of conversation noise that was loud. I have hearing issues and that level of ambient noise made it difficult for me to hear the yoga instructor even with her having a microphone. The interior of the venue is filled with installations from local artists. I would like to come back for just a social gathering. I think it would be great for that.

Prismajic was super cool - highly interactive but in the most laid back of ways. Such an immersive…read moreevent experience. We had 5 pm reservations but went in closer to 6 pm, after having visited their onsite bar, the Night Owl. Their craft cocktails were great and on par with craft cocktail pricing. The staff were all really accommodating and friendly. They didn't bat an eye when we asked about timing: can we grab a drink before we go in? Sure! And the experience itself? Super creative, attention to detail all over the place. And, there are differing levels of a scavenger hunt just to make things even more interesting. The exhibits change every so often so if you haven't been to this one, def go before a new installation is added.

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!
