Some of the sculpture, paintings, textiles and photographs will really amaze you. I love exploring the individual artists tents/ booths which showcase everything from modern art to folk art and hand knit hats. I bought some great jewelry pieces. It is wonderful to have that one of a kind piece handmade by artisans. I also purchased some gorgeous hand blown glass pieces at an excellent value. This year I spent a good deal of time just wandering around enjoying the live music, the birds of prey exhibit, the delicious food and snow cones! Wine & beer were also available for those who wanted to enjoy them. I try to go every year as it now signals me that summer is coming to an end and the leaves are turning beneath the Rock. Just go and enjoy a perfect end-of-summer event in Castle Rock.

I dragged my girlfriend to the Arts Festival on Sunday, midmorning. It was warm, but not scorching,…read moreand the crowd was manageable, but not overwhelming. This year (2026) is the 35th anniversary of the show and there were 265 participating artists. Going to 265 booths is a marathon, particularly on a hot day, but we were energized by the quality of the work and made it to every single location. Major categories on display included ceramics, digital art, drawing, fiber, glass, jewelry, metalwork, mixed media, painting, photography, printmaking, sculpture, and wood. Five early-career artists received grants to further their practice and were included in the show. The displays mostly ran down 2nd Avenue in Cherry Creek North from Clayton to Adams with branches going up to 3rd Avenue along Detroit, St. Paul, and Steele (down to 1st Avenue also). We gamely marched the 20 blocks this entailed, alrhough my girlfriend got a little wobbly by the time we made it back to 2nd and Clayton. I parked her in a shady spot and went to retrieve the car and collect her. Despite being tired out by the scope of the show, we were both glad we went. The quality of the art was very high and many displays were quite impressive.

The crowds made it somewhat difficult to see the various booths. The artists are friendly and will talk to you about their techniques and inspirations. We saw some familiar as well as new emerging artists. Porta potties and food courts are available. There is also a children's art area to keep the young tykes busy. Food, beverages and stores are also in the area when you need a break. There are plenty of benches for a rest. The show is absolutely free to enter. The amount of people decreased as the day wore on. The streets are closed to automobile traffic. You will find many different lots to park in with a fee.

In return we ate our food, heard one song, saw a couple of cloggers. Came ready to spend some money on cetic t shirts, but nothing in the 3x size and they were not celtic shirts, just sayings. The vendors were really pushing utility kilts, getting out of your time shares, a henna tatoo place and a few booths on Irish Names. No genealogy books, or real celtic stores with linnens and costumes. My advice if you want to go to a anykind fair to eat junk food you will be happy, if you want to enjoy a real Irish Festival complete with Irish Dancers, Irish Wolfhounds, buildings of shows and music save up your money and go to the Dallas Irish Festival held in the spring.

The food is…read morealways delicious, and the scrumptious shakes take us back to childhood days of landline phones with a ten minute call just to hear a list of current movies on offer at the local cinema. The servers here are always friendly, carrying an offered smile laced with assistance, and parking is in ample supply. The merch on offer is trendy, vibrant and unique enough to catch the eye, while the matinees featuring classic movies are additional magic to an already enticing menu of how to spend your afternoon weekend. The bathroom was clean and well stocked with necessities, and I appreciate its close proximity and easy access. QR code ticket options keep the entire process a seamless experience. Absolutely recommend for date nights and more.

I agree with everyone here regarding the QR Code ordering! The preshow entertainment is one of the…read morebest things about this place, but you can't even enjoy it because you're on your phone trying to order food. They should at the very least have either an option to still order on paper, or an order a head option so that you can just order everything before you get there. AMC and Harkins even do that... You can say what time you wanna pick it up and then you can just pick it up on your way in. Since there's no human interaction anyway they might as well just let us do that. I also felt bad for the server because I didn't feel like he deserved what I would normally tip on the bill, but it's not his fault and I'm not sure how they're getting paid. It's not really fair to the workers either. So I tipped low on the app and then I felt bad so I gave him an extra money on my way out. The whole thing just really sucks.

The south denver beer fest is the most reasonable priced of the 3. I was able to score tickets for $20 though general admission is typically $40. They also had a VIP tent, with liquors/cheese/and chocolate (but I can't review it - we did base) The place is 90% Colorado beers, and that can serve you just fine. Avery, Breck, Wits end, boulder brew, the list goes on (3 tents full). Some of the standouts - a Colorado Cider Company Lemon Grass cider . . .Paradox brewing barrel aged sour AND IPA. This event has one more day, score a ticket and go. Its fun. . .though get a designated driver . . .

Plenty of room to move and hang out with friends. Parking was easy, bathrooms were never a problem, and generally the clientele was well behaved! I also enjoyed the live music and various contests and raffles throughout the afternoon! In addition to three large tents full of beer, there were also a handful of tasty food trucks (pizza, tacos, ice cream, etc) to counter the liquid calories. I had purchased VIP tickets through LivingSocial, which was totally the way to go. VIP got you in an hour earlier and access to the distillery tent where they were pouring delicious local spirits, experimenting with some cocktail combinations, and also had a VIP-only BBQ tent that was handing out free samples. Really looking forward to this one next year! Keep it classy Littleton!

It really is nice to watch a movie in a fully reclined position. I was so comfortable that I found myself fighting falling asleep. My wife and watched "Five Nights at Freddy's Part 2" and we really enjoyed it. Our popcorn was fresh and buttered just right. They even have beer and wine for sale. We super enjoyed watching at movie at 9:20 am as it left the remainder of our day wide open. There is plenty of parking and the theater is in a really nice and safe area of town. I think I'm going to start seeing more movies at this theater.

What a ridiculous policy…read more I go to see a movie. The popcorn is $11. I buy it, and when I taste it, the popcorn is obviously 2-3 days old. Dry, awful. This is the cheddar popcorn. Obviously, not fresh and apparently rarely purchased. I went back to exchange it for the freshly popped popcorn, and they couldn't exchange it, they had to issue a refund for the cheddar to give me the freshly popped. They are so slow. I'm trying to go to my movie, which starts in two minutes. No exchange. No nothing. This is not customer service. A poorly run theatre, Go to Alamo.

I can't say enough good things about it but most importantly how is this free?! I feel like they could charge $5 admission & I'd still be cool with it but I'll take free all day! My son has never seen a farm & growing up in San Jose my mother often took my brother & I to a place called Prusch Farm. Very similar to this museum so I was delighted to be able to find something I could take my son to so that I could try to give him the kind of cool childhood memories I treasure. This was even better because of the working Blacksmith! My son was in awe by the whole thing but my husband & I have never seen a blacksmith in action either. The variety of animals plus the costumed volunteers & walkable buildings are such a great way to entertain a toddler. We got there at opening & were able to get everything done by the time it was getting more crowded around 11AM. I would definitely come back as we missed seeing the small indoor museum near check in. Loved this 10x more then the Children's Museum!

The inside of the museum was very interesting with an art exhibit, a special exhibit which currently focused on Kate Farretti and the Littleton history area which included a kids zone. The Kate Farretti exhibit depicted the life of a famous hat maker originally from Italy, she settled in Denver with her husband and made hats for Denver's elite including Molly Brown. Kate was also mother to the first triplets to be born in Denver. You can spend a couple hours here and make a day of it. I loved the living history farm portion which included 1860's and 1890's farms and contained 5 historical buildings as well as outhouses and a root cellar. It is an acutal working farm with 1800lb cows, turkeys, chickens, sheep, donkeys and a blacksmith! The gardens throughout were beautiful, we got to pick some pumpkins and see what would have been grown in this historical time period. Both livestock and gardens were accurately portrayed for the time period. You can only bring water in so don't try to do a picnic onsite. You are able to bring strollers and wagons and I would recommend doing so, there is a lot of land to be covered which requires a lot of walking.
