2/14/26. My sister and I have been going to the home and garden show in Denver for years and always…read morefound new things and had fun. This year there was no shuttle service so had to drive downtown and pay to park and there were no food vendors which means no salsa or chocolate that we love to splurge on. Very disappointed.

By the name of the event, I was expecting mostly garden product vendors, so I was very disappointed…read moreby how few garden related booths there were. I was expecting to see more seed/bulb/flower companies, garden tools, garden equipment, garden art, garden software products NOT the row after row after row of Window, Siding, Roof, Solar and Cement contractors with an occasional turf, landscaper. I'm glad we at least went on a 2 for 1 price day but still felt it was a waste of money to make the 1+ hours drive to see so few garden exhibits. Either focus on Garden or rename it the Home & Garden Show.

I recently purchased a tree from Tomari's, which was absolutely gorgeous. Our family goofed and…read moreforgot to water it for a few days, and unfortunately the tree dried up :( I called Cole at Tomari's, who was gracious enough to offer me another frazier tree for replacement! Hes the best, as is Daniel who works at the Wheat Ridge location. Excellent service, great value, and awesome selection.

What a lovely experience today! From the beautiful drive up, to the cafe, the people..it was…read moreperfect. The girl at the cafe made me the most delicious cocktail called nuts and berries. My boyfriend had the porter and enjoyed it as well. After we had our drinks, we picked out the most perfect tree for our home. It was a bit pricier than one at something like Lowe's or Home Depot, but I'd pay it again & again for the experience we had. The owner Tom helped us saw the tree, tie it to our car, and even thanked us for coming in with a coffee mug to take home. Seriously I will always support small businesses like these. Thank you Tom & the rest of the crew. We will absolutely be back!

We just moved to the area and were looking for something to do. I found out Denver has many free…read moreevents. So, this is the first one we attended. I brought my 16, 5, 2 and NB. They greeted us immediately and gave us a map of the property. We had fun walking around and checking out the animals and historic buildings on site. It is wild this place is right in the middle of a neighborhood. The only issue we had was parking because we the lot is full you're out of options.

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.

We took a year off from Tree Town Wonderland in 2024, heading out to cut our own tree. A big reason…read morewas affordability. However, my son didn't enjoy the cold trek through knee-deep snow, so we resumed what had been a tradition and went back to Lakewood last weekend. Much of what we liked remains in 2025: Friendly staff, wide selection of trees, free hot chocolate/donuts, the layout on a mini-golf course, and having our tree secured to the car for us. Some things have changed: 1. These trees are Taxed to the Max. We were very fortunate to find a small, but suitable tree without financing. 2. Mini-golf used to be free. Major perk. It's why my son insists on coming here. It's now $8 to include the challenges of seasonal ice. Fake trees have been anathema to me since childhood, but look like the future for our family barring a winning Powerball ticket. Everything costs more these days, I get it. Charging $8 for icy mini golf that was previously free? I think we're done here.

Nicole, my daughter's main contact/go to person was so easy to work with and at the ready should we have any questions before and the day of the wedding.

The recommended vendors for food (food got many compliments), DJ, photographer, etc my daughter all used. It was nice to have a one stop shop where the preferred vendors know the layout of the place. Everything ran so smoothly on wedding day even my husband commented! I highly recommend Mount Vernon Canyon Club for your wedding and ask for Nicole.
