This elegant facility, completed in 2011, is the arts center for the City of Lone Tree. The Main…read moreStage Theater has 480 seats, none more than 60 feet from the stage. The Grand Entry Hall is a soaring lobby that can accomodate private events and is the main display space for art shows. There is also an Event Hall that opens to the outdoor Terrace Theater. Concessions available are beer, wine, cocktails, soft drinks, and snacks. The facility is really quite spectacular. I recently visited to view the Roland Bernier retrospective which included a substantial selection of his work from the 1980s/1990s. The expansive lobby provided an excellent setting for his large-scale works. Additional art display space is available in the long hallway that leads from the lobby to the administration offices. The Arts Center has a busy schedule of theatrical and musical events that are presented in the Main Stage and Terrace theaters. There is also a regular schedule of art exhibits. This is a well-designed complex that offers many reasons to visit for those with an interest in many areas of the arts.

I've frequented the Lone Tree Arts Center many times for various shows and events and can say that I'm a FAN! Music on the outdoor Terrace? YES PLEASE! Community theater shows featuring local actors and actresses? VERY COOL! Seasonal plays, musicals and Christmas shows? YOU MUST GO! Events hosted by the Alzheimer's Association for families and loved ones? THE COOLEST! SO much opportunity! The website highlights the various shows, events and happenings at the Arts Center and each one is carefully curated, offered to everyone and at a low cost. The theater itself is huge, well maintained and offers levels of seating - perfect at any view. Staff is beyond friendly, welcoming and smiley each and every time! I actively look for events at this Arts Center and find myself truly enjoying each experience! Definitely worth a shot :)

We had a scheduled fund raiser and a week before our event he told us we could not have our event. Even after I talked with the City Of Aurora to confirm we did not need a permit, he still canceled our event. He instead lied to the City saying we were going to serve liquor which was not true. On top of it all he has not returned our deposit when he was the one that canceled. He is rude and condescending and the facility is not kept up. We found a better place in less than a week and they were professional and know how to do business. I wish I had read the google reviews before trying to do business with him. Don't let the photos on Yelp fool you, the venue did not look like them.

The Lake House reopened during quarantine with many restrictions around food and social distancing, but we still had a blast. Parking was awful because the main entrance was blocked off, so we found a nearby school lot. It was a nice walk down to the marina. We headed straight to the bar and ordered White Claws and shots. Not sure if this is their typical alcohol selection or limited because of COVID-19. Either way, there was one bartender juggling all the patrons, and she was always friendly. Seating lined the outdoor patio facing the beach. My friend said there used to be live music here, but I guess we'll have to wait until the pandemic is over. For food, they only had basic hot dogs roasting in the oven and bags of chips. For how much we drank, I'm grateful there was anything. Overall it's a decent pub and a perfect spot to take the pups after a day in Cherry Creek park.

We just had a beverage at the bar and an appetizer, but both the house beverage and the appetizer were great.

Nestled in the neighborhood of Highlands Ranch, lies the famous Highlands Ranch Manion!…read more I'd heard the lore around this mansion but had yet to visit it until recently! This estate is really popular for weddings and local events - around Halloween, Christmas/Holiday season and spring - but also allows visitors daily, for free guided tours! The mansion itself is HUGE, ornately decorated and fun to explore! The history of the property is documented on the walls and throughtou the space, but I recommend a tour! My husband and I went to a recent paranormal event - featuring a local business who specialized in ghost hunting. It was a little cheesy at times, but exploring the mansion, on our own, at night, in the dark, proved to be a spooky experience - especially after learning about the lives lived and deaths at the mansion. Perfect ghost territory! Staff is friendly, knowledgeable and able to provide excellent education around the mansion and on those who lived inside. Definitely a must see in the burbs!

We arrived and were immediately greeted by Paul. He asked if we were there for guided tour at 1:00,…read morenot knowing when we could arrive we didn't reserve a guided tour. NOT A PROBLEM. Paul introduced us to Janan and with a warm and welcoming smile she introduced herself and asked if we were ready for a tour. The history that she shared and the way she delivered the information was very engaging and informative. The history within the castle is something you really need to experience, explore and enjoy. The entire volunteer team that we met were so motivated about sharing the story of the castle and those that lived within it. So if you want an awesome experience and some great Colorado history then you would be well advised to make a trip to Highlands Ranch Mansion.

The staff helped with getting the food set up, the cake and all the decorations we brought. This was the perfect party and I had amazing feedback from all of my guests. I want a party here every year now!

There are a dozen or so classic cars with tail fins, dozens of antique arcade games, lots of Elvis, a soda fountain, juke boxes, a miniature train! This is amazing!
