    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.

    Dinosaur Ridge is home to some of the most famous and well preserved dinosaur tracks in the world…read moremaking it a must-visit if you're a dinosaur or natural history/science lover in the Denver area! Technically entry to the attraction is free. Visitors are welcome to hike the trail that takes you past the preserved prints and fossils and interpretive signs in the area but on both visits I've been I've opted to do the bus tour (and I'm always glad about it during the drive up the large hill). I find that doing the driven tour gives additional context that I would never have if I just walked the trail myself (which is usually the case) or they point out things I would never have noticed on my own...like the raptor claw on the cliffside. Doing the guided bus tour also gives you entry into the small single-room museum that's next door to the gift shop. Plan to spend between 1-1.5 hours here (if going the tour route).

    Next time I may pay for the tour bus instead but just couldn't stomach $30 a head. We hiked up to…read morethe main Croc River sighting area and definitely saw a lot. Thinking all the events happened millions of years ago and during the Cretaceous Era when much of what we saw was under water. Since clouds, thunder and lightning were approaching, the staff warned us about the potential of being called back. Thankfully once we hit the trail the weather was good other than being cloudy. Saw a lot, learned a lot and experienced the wonderful world of hiking uphill. haha. Definitely worth it and will be back soon to check out the entire ridge!

This year we did the tour of the cave and it was super super interesting me as well and my kids really loved it :-) I did too! Lastly, the chipmunks. You could literally just go for the chipmunks lol! They are so super friendly and so much fun! We cannot recommend this place highly enough!

I did the…read more"Mother Lode" combo, which includes the main main tour, plus an additional mine tour, which to reach it that requires a quarter mile hike up a trail, and gold panning (after several tries I only found one tiny gold flake, but I got something!). Definitely bring sunscreen for the second tour, as you will be sitting outside in the sun for a little bit. It's cool and refreshing inside the mines, and they're full of history, right down to the wooden shafts that still have numbers painted on them from the miners of 1800s. You will learn about mining history and how harrowing and challenging it was, and see the actual tools they used, and how techniques developed over time. You will see shafts and tunnels you cannot explore but remain from days of old that inspire the imagination. You will also hear some silly ghost stories, and even see how UV light illuminates the rocks and minerals in the mines. Interested in history, gold, geology, or mining? Even if you aren't, take this tour anyway! It's well worth it, and the guides do a great job.

This was truly a jam and we will definitely be back.

    BRING QUARTERS!!!…read more Overall the experience was pretty okay. I think the replica train should just be running nonstop rather than taking quarters. Or they should take some tokens that they just provide. I hate being "nickeled and dimed". That being said, i do think .25 is at least a defensible number. The staff that was at checkout when the museum was closing left a sour note in the experience last night. I saw a book I wanted to buy my 3 year old son when we first arrived. I told him we would grab it on the way out. On the way out we were looking around the shop and I grabbed the book. The girl at the checkout gleefully shouted "it's 5:00 we're officially closed." We were directly in front of her. I asked if that meant that we couldn't purchase the book and she smiled back smuglly that we couldn't. So this girl watched me walk around with my 3 year old son looking at items in their store grab a book I told him I would buy him and didn't say one word about closing soon and to hurry if I wanted the item, then she smiled at us, almost taking joy in disappointing him. I've debated whether two stars was too low because overall the experience wasn't awful and we went on a free day! But that checkout girl really left such a negative impression that it changed the whole experience.
