To celebrate this holiday I have selected the most incredible concert venue in the country to Yelp about. I had only dreamed for many years about seeing a concert here. Last year my husband surprised me and bought tickets to see my favorite band Incubus perform here in July. I could not believe it and was so very, very excited! We arrived a little early which gave us time to hike and explore the park portion and to learn more about the history of this place (another review). Upon arrival, we had made reservations to dine in their restaurant before the show. Promptly at six, we were let in. This place is massive and is an open air amphitheater that holds approximately 9,500 people. The city of Denver owns and operates it. It is well known due to the huge monolith rocks that surround it. They are called "Ship Rock" and "Creation Rock". In the upper level, there are plenty of vendors selling food, beer, merchandise etc. Once you begin the ascent down to your seats you see how big this place really is. We had terrific seats down low but high enough to still have a view of the city of Denver in the distance. The sound is so well preserved due to the surrounding sandstone formations. The concert was fantastic and I got to hear all my favorite songs. At one point in the show I had to pinch myself just knowing I had finally achieved the goal of seeing a concert here. We also were lucky enough to have a huge full moon come up during the show. The night was indeed magical and I will never forget it. If you haven't been here for a show/concert, I cannot recommend enough what a unique experience it is. You must do it! I am hoping to come back again in the future. To me America shines here with this amazing park and amphitheater. Thank you Colorado! read more

Flew to Denver to see Yo-Yo Ma play Dvorak with the Colorado Symphony. We had excellent seats, row 5. Seat 48 was in the literal middle and at eye level w the musicians so it was perfect. I did pay scalper prices (3x) for them though (AXS fees were ridiculous). We came prepared with 18" wide seat cushions (they were crazy about enforcing the size at the gate w a ruler). I did my research and we showed up early, like 4:30p to tailgate. Picked up some sandwiches from Carmine Lonardo's to go with some wine; they were perfect. We chose to park in the Lower South Lot to be closer to the stage since we had lower seats, but instead of walking up to the ramp, we came across and took the complimentary shuttle to the Upper North lot entrance FOR THE WIN, as we would only have to deal with going down stairs instead of the hill to get to the South side ramp. Leaving the venue though was a bit of a challenge. Actually, a bit of a clusterfuck. We didn't even try to turn on the car and just sat in the parking lot for about 30 minutes to let the other cars clear out. Overall, great experience and would definitely do it again. read more

Finally got to experience Red Rocks for the first time, and it was absolutely incredible! We saw Alesso, Lost Frequencies, Surf Mesa and a suprise guest Martin Garrix and even though I've seen them before in Vegas, this was by far the best experience. The views, atmosphere, and energy of the crowd are something you really have to experience for yourself. We took an Uber and got dropped off right near the entrance. We arrived around 7 PM, got through the line quickly, and still found great seats in the middle-upper section. The food and drinks were reasonably priced, and I liked that the show started early and ended around midnight. Red Rocks is definitely a bucket-list venue. Whether it's a concert, yoga, or another event, it's worth experiencing at least once. I can't wait to go back! read more

Loved every minute, from when we walked around to explore at about 5:30 ( we parked at the lower south lot 1), to standing in line to enter at 6 (saw a rainbow!), to walking to the top of the amphitheater to take in the view, to the concert: Opening band The Original Wailers, Bob Marley's band with the original guitarist , played all the classics and all 9,000 audience members sang along! Feature band :Michael Franti and Spearhead: what showmanship and charm! He had multiple participants come up on stage to sing and dance with him throughout the 2 hour concert, and spent as much time in the crowds on the first 3 levels as on stage. He played mostly newer songs last night and shared some stories about what inspired him to write some of them. The changing twilight to night sky with full moon was also captivating. The acoustics of Red Rocks is phenomenal! And they try to ensure that smokers stay off to the side and not in the sitting area (some scofflaws always rebel but mostly people abided by the rules). A night to remember! Highly recommend! We'll be back! read more

One of the most famous music venues to discover and attend a show in my opinion. The acoustics and scenery is unlike anything. There are ample bars and bathrooms + it's pretty fun to tailgate ahead of a show. You can walk the grounds for free when they don't have a concert which is cool. read more

Search Assist Rolling Stone Magazine named Red Rocks Amphitheatre the best amphitheater in America, describing it as a dramatic natural venue that can elevate a good show into a totally unforgettable night. The venue has hosted legendary performances by artists like The Beatles and Jimi Hendrix, contributing to its storied reputation. If you have not visited the iconic venue, find a music group you like and visit then. Unbelievable views depend on where you sit. High above and you can dwell on downtown Denver. Sit near stage and you will feel like you are in the band. Plenty of beverage locations on epic event days. They even come to you in the crowd. Plenty of parking, arrive early. Plenty of food choices. Limited parking for handicapped. We arrived by bus from our hotel location. I think that is the way to go. read more

When you think of Denver there are a few things that come to mind right away. Denver Broncos, Rocky Mountain National Park, and this world renowned concert venue. We were in town for spring break so we wanted to drop by and check it out. We arrived on a Thursday early evening. Red Rocks Amphitheater is located 10 miles southwest of Denver in the beautiful town of Morrison, CO. Parking is accessible all around the amphitheater. There was no concert scheduled that night. We were hoping to catch the sunset but unfortunately we missed it. The lighting was still great for pictures though. We parked by the Upper South Lot. From there it was a moderate 10 minute walk to the south ramp of the venue. During the walk the views of the valley is stunning. Once we made it inside the outdoor amphitheater, I was in awe of the beauty and ambiance of the Red Rocks amphitheater. The majestic backdrop of the red rocks was definitely something I have never seen before for a concert venue. It was unique and beautiful. We were able to start from the bottom of the stage area and make our way to the top. It was a nice workout climbing up the seats steps. From the top, the different angle view of the amphitheater and backdrop was amazing as well. Overall we enjoyed our time exploring Red Rocks amphitheater. It was a one of a kind experience. Unfortunately the visitor center was closed and we did not see a live concert at the venue. We hope to be back again so we can attend a concert. read more

I've been to many music venues and Red Rocks Amphitheater is one of the most beautiful ones I've seen. When they say amphitheater they mean it as the sounds amplified and carried throughout the whole venue. Our seats were close to the stage but just high enough to still see the gorgeous backdrop (Row 42 seats 59,60). There are 70 rows total in the amphitheater. I like so many genres of music, but the music blasting in this setting just hits differently. I felt my soul healing. There is nothing like it. The VIBES you get at this outdoor venue is unreal. Depending if you decide to park or use ride share there's a bit of a hike to get to the venue in high altitude, but as long as you're prepared it's so worth it. read more

Red Rocks Amphitheatre is one of the most iconic music venues for a reason... it is absolutely stunning and the sound in the venue is too. It is a bit of a hike to get up to the venue which is an experience all in itself. I don't know any other places where an amphitheater is surrounded by incredible massive red rocks. It is beautiful!!! We also did hiking right by (on a hiking trail) and wow is it gorgeous. There is also a Visitors welcome center that is great too to learn more about the history or grab a souvenir. Everyone working there has helped make it organized and has been helpful. To see my favorite band Lord Huron here is always the best. Nothing else is like this venue. I highly recommend coming to see a concert here. I can't rave about this incredible venue enough. If you love outdoor venue concerts.... it can't get better than this. read more

Red Rocks is without a doubt the best concert venue in the US and I'm so grateful I finally got to experience it. We saw Two Friends play here last night and it was probably the best concert we've ever been to. What a top tier venue - from the sound, lights, employees, food selection, seating arrangement, parking - everything was fantastic. We were able to snag a pretty close parking spot so we didn't have to even park in one of the lots despite showing up around 7:30. My only complaint is the amount of women's bathrooms - there are definitely not enough to handle a sold out crowd without at least a 30 minute wait throughout the night. read more

Red Rocks amphitheater is an amphitheater, so naturally, people talk a lot about that. But, it's so much more. It's a community space with deeply rooted memories that people all over the world have shared. I know everyone gets excited about a show, as they should. They fly in, they drive in, plan a pre-party on the lots, charge their phones to capture the moment... yet, I don't feel folks know that the park is open during the day most every day of the week, year-round. You can walk the amphitheater, climb the trails around, witness the vistas. I always enjoy taking out-of-town friends to the amphitheater during the day. I even like going there by myself and listening to the visitors as they see it for the first time, live a little vicariously. And, while you're up there, visit the tourist center, the little museum and outpost. There really is a lot this place has to offer beyond the music, which makes the music that much more special. To experience the full magic, take a couple of hours outside the shows to explore the space in a little more solitude. read more

Red Rocks was so much more than I thought it would be! For one, I didn't realize just how the steep the walk up to the Amphitheater was until we came up to it to begin the trek. Whew! Then once you get past the ramp there are so many stairs, some of the sets of stairs are bigger so you are almost having to lunge to get up, ha! I'm not complaining about the exertion of muscles though, the view was totally worth the climb! There are also trails and parks you can explore. And there's the gift shop for souvenirs. I would love to attend a concert here, but I will have a better appreciation of the space now that I've visited. read more

I want to share feedback regarding the parking experience at Red Rocks. I completely understand that managing traffic and parking for a venue of this size is challenging, and I appreciate the importance of keeping vehicles moving efficiently. However, one parking attendant's behavior significantly detracted from what should have been an enjoyable experience. Rather than providing clear direction and assistance, he repeatedly yelled at guests, appeared impatient with basic questions, and even told people he "didn't have time" for them. Many attendees seemed confused about where they were supposed to go, and instead of helping, his approach made people feel uncomfortable and unwelcome. What made the situation even more frustrating was that while he claimed he didn't have time to answer questions or assist guests, he somehow found time to repeatedly take hits from his vape pen. Watching someone dismiss guests while stopping to vape sent the wrong message and reflected poorly on the venue. Customer service matters, especially at a destination venue where people are excited to attend an event. There is a difference between being firm and being disrespectful. Clear communication and basic courtesy should be expected from anyone representing the venue. Red Rocks is known for creating memorable experiences, but unfortunately this interaction left a negative impression before the event even began. I hope management addresses this issue and reminds staff that treating guests with respect is just as important as managing traffic and parking operations. read more

WOW. This was better than I could've imagined. I just wish we would've had the opportunity to go to a show here. We came for the sunrise. Parking was a breeze - it was snowing the weekend we went so the roads were icey. We got there about 30 mins before the estimated sunrise, so we got all set up and enjoyed the views. One downside was the giant crane by the amphitheater. Which was an eye sore, but the views were still amazing. Overall, it was a very positive experience. I would definitely recommend stopping by for the views even if you can't catch a show. read more

Red Rocks Amphitheatre is an incredibly unique venue (naturally made of 300M year old, iron-rich sandstone) and has quite literally a dynamite origin (with acknowledgement of indigenous ownership); it's also a neat National park with trails, museums, and plenty of parking to take advantage of during the day. Food and drink were served at the bottom and top levels of the amphitheater during a mixed EDM/classical orchestra concert featuring Apashe, Flux Pavillion, and Josh Teed. Security service presence was heavy throughout the event. Traffic patrol is also present early on to keep vehicles flowing. Seating and sound were ample from various angles of the venue. read more

This was a bucket list place to see and I finally got to see it! Now I didn't get to see a show, but getting to experience the Amphitheatre was the next best thing. It's free to park and walk around at least when there isn't a show too. They have a visitor center you can explore or you can just walk into the amphitheater area and explore yourself! I cannot believe the red rocks just appear on a mountainside it's something I had a loss of words for. Right by the entrance there is a small tunnel they dug out with a rock too that was fascinating. I went on a day that was a little bit windy as well as cold but not too cold. This place would be unbearable with snow so keep that in mind. The elevation is also pretty hefty at red rocks as I believe it was around 8200ft above sea level. Denver is around 5300ft so it's a big difference you would feel especially climbing around the steps in the amphitheater. I think the coolest part of the whole experience is that you can see the city of Denver in the distance when looking down from the top of the amphitheater. I definitely recommend checking it out if you have a car and are going to Denver. It's a must see and the only thing even better would be to see a show here! The echos from the rocks would make the music sound incredible. read more

...this has to be the most incredible live music experience I've ever had. If you're reading this, you're probably seeing all the other rave reviews as well, so I'll just offer a few tips and highlights: 1. Arrive right when the parking lots open for the show (2 hours prior to doors) and tailgate. Bring food, drinks, cards, etc. and just hang out in the back of your car with your crew. It was one of our favorite parts of our trip. 2. Park in the Upper North Lot, and park as close to the lot exit as you can, with your car facing the exit. It'll help you get out faster. 3. The bathrooms in that parking lot are single stall and quite slow - opt for the porta potties on the other side for a quicker experience. 4. If you're there during cooler times, bring a blanket - and an empty water bottle - to take into the show. 5. Head in right when doors open and pick your spot. We loved being halfway down, on the side so we could easily enter and exit the row. Mark your spot with a blanket or something to sit on. 6. If the whole place is packed, get a spot on the sides near the trees: not a real "seat" but you can post up on the ledge for great views lower down 7. Check out the museum, gift shop and bathroom at the top before the show starts! 8. The bathrooms at the bottom have shorter lines 9. Watch the final song from the very top so you can exit the parking lot fast :) 10. It's an absolutely magical venue and likely one of the favorite stops of whichever band you see there - so they're extra excited too. Take it all in!! read more

What an iconic venue! Red Rocks was on my bucket list for years and I've now been fortunate enough to visit twice. On my first visit, my friends and I went to hike and explore. The amphitheater is free and open to the public during the day. There were lots of people who were exercising, hiking, and exploring the theater and park. The weather was nice during our visit and I was able to take some amazing photos. We did not stay for the concert that evening (Beatles tribute), but I told myself that I would absolutely come back to see a show because that was my ultimate goal. A year later, I had the opportunity to go back for the Teddy Swims concert. The show was absolutely amazing! The venue did a great job of communicating important information for the show. I signed up for weather text alerts which came in handy as it was storming the morning of the concert (luckily, the storms moved out just in time for the show). There isn't a bad view and the sound quality was excellent! It was a little difficult finding my seat because it was hard to see the row and seat numbers in the dark and I didn't see any ushers for assistance. The seating consists of benches with numbered spaces. There's typically reserved and GA sections which vary by show. The designated space for each seat is kind of tight (luckily, we were standing most of the time). If you have a GA ticket, get there early so you can get a spot. It took me 21 years to see a concert at Red Rocks, but I am so happy that I did! Even if Red Rocks isn't on your bucket list, go visit if you have the chance! The sheer beauty alone is worth the trip! read more

Definitely one of my favorite venues. Only complaint I have is there is not nearly enough restrooms for the crowd at a sold out show. Prices are a bit crazy for drinks and food inside. Thankfully you can bring in sealed water and food of your own. The views are outstanding and you will not find a better sight whether it's at the amphitheater or hiking the grounds. read more

The RED ROCKS AMPHITHEATRE in Colorado is a sight to see! Wow! Just breathtaking: literally and figuratively! A magical, spiritual and emotional stage. We caught the sunrise, but still need to catch a concert here. The amphitheatre is the master work of Colorado's most highly regarded architect, Burnham Hoyt. The grand opening took place back on June 15, 1941. Elevation: 6,310 feet! We arrived a bit late to witness the sunrise from the amphitheater. We parked at the Trading Post near the Lower South Lot and later realized the the Upper North Lot would've saved us a lot of time! We viewed the 6:30am sunrise from the ramp, which was still so beautiful to see. We could hear the crowd cheer from the stands. I would recommend entering through Entrance 1 and head to the North lots. If you want to experience the incline, then take Entrance 2 and park at the South Lots. During our visit, the parking and entrance was free! We stayed for about an hour to admire its beauty and architecture. Unfortunately, it was too early, so the Visitor Center, Trading Center, and food booth were both closed. We will definitely be back! read more

!Time for an update! Being a native Coloradan, I never underestimate the fortune we have in Red Rocks. Summer just isn't complete without a visit, whether for a concert, yoga, or a simple hike. Wildlife viewing is a common occurrence and is especially fun when the raccoons come out to help "clear" the amphitheater (clear food, not visitors). For those with mobility issues, there is a shuttle to help those get from the lower parking lots to the south entrance. Restrooms at the top and bottom of the amphitheater are also accessible. Handicap seating is at the front of the stage (so cool!) No matter where one sits, it always comes with a great view of downtown and the plains. The Visitor Center is open during concerts and has Red Rocks themed merch and stadium blankets for sale. Definitely my most favorite concert venue in the North America! read more

Hot take: Red Rocks is just okay as a concert venue. I'd love to do a yoga event here or even a movie night with live orchestra. The last time I came here was almost 15 years ago for a show. I had the chance to come back to see Goo Goo Dolls and Dashboard Confessional. While both bands were stellar, the sound was really disappointing! It sounded like it was either cutting slightly in and out or really inconsistent. * bathroom lines are wild. both men's & women's and alll bathrooms even the north parking lot one that supposedly "never has a line" * we did GA and because they don't have a middle row, there's a lot of people constantly walking in front of you during the show. If this would bother you, get reserved tickets * people were really drunk. Someone puked right behind us. Staff did come clean it really quickly. The folks in front of us were clearly very wasted as well. It's not to say you'll be sandwiched by inebriated people but it was not my favorite crowd. * however, staff was super friendly! From security to concession to finding tickets and finding seats, appreciate how helpful they were. Red Rocks is an experience for sure and a bucket list but go in prepared! read more

Got tickets to see The Marias here and I am soo happy we did. The venue is beautiful and even though it was a cloudy afternoon and we didn't get to see much of a sunset, the view was still beautiful. The uber driver left us at the bottom which then meant we had to hike up.... the hike up was brutal and everyone was out of breath once at the top. Hiking up with loafers - not a good idea. Once inside there were many vendors and different types of foods to pick from. We purchased corn dogs, drinks, and a side of fries for about $60. All the employees we interacted with were friendly and helpful. Leaving this place after the show was a nightmare though and it took us about 2.5 hours to get picked up... Overall beautiful venue! It gets cold at night! read more

Red Rocks Amphitheater We parked in the Lower South Lot, thank goodness we were able to catch a shuttle bus to the top, it is quite an uphill trek. Suggest parking here, walk to the Trading Post to catch the shuttle to be dropped off at the top. Majority of food vendors are at the top along with the concert merch. Facing the stage, we exited the right side, turned left at street level, then a right at the stop sign, walk past Trading Post, go slight right to lower south lot. Lauren Daigle, Tauren Wells, Ben Fuller, Josh Baldwin, and Caleb & John performed as part of the K-Love Live at the Red Rocks. Really enjoyed Josh Baldwin and Ben Fuller, along with Tauren Wells. Lauren Daigle being the headliner put me to sleep, she took the stage about 9:45 pm. The Red Rocks Amphitheater was a bucket list venue for me and did not disappoint. One of the most beautiful concert natural venues in the world. Acoustics are spectacular, we sat in row 38, middle of the Amphitheater and the distance was not bad. The food vendors are not bad, prepare to spend some money or you can bring food and some drinks. For an August 5, 2025 concert, day time temperature was 97 degrees so was hot, very warm until the sun went down. We left prior to last song of final act, beat the crowd out since all roads lead to one road causing major bottle neck. Great concert venue checked off bucket list read more

I have wanted to attend a concert at Red Rocks for years and years. I decided last fall that 2025 was going to be my year to start making my bucket list happen. And now I can cross Red Rocks off of my list. Luckily we had purchased tickets in Row 6 - the day before we left I managed to break my foot. There are a LOT of steps. Being in one of the lowest rows saved me. There is quite a bit of general admission seating. It was an absolute free for all of those vying for the best seats. Once again, I'm glad I bought an assigned seat. Red Rocks has an extensive list of what is allowed in and what's prohibited. It depends on what gate you go in - I probably could have brought a lazy boy in with me - no one looked at anything. Pot is prohibited but that didn't stop joints being openly passed down rows. I've seen dozens of Red Rocks concerts on TV but nothing, absolutely nothing, prepared me for the true awesomeness of the concert. The lights playing off of the rocks, the unparalleled acoustics, the camaraderie of the crowd all led to an absolutely wonderful evening. There is a shuttle that runs from some of the lots for people with mobility issues. It was an absolute blessing. Many people were tailgating though the rain kept us to drinking beer in our rental. Still, just watching the GA people jockeying for position two hours before the show was entertainment in itself. In my head, I can envision someone hiking through the red rocks on a peaceful Sunday morning. They stop, look at their partner and say "damn, this would really make an awesome amphitheater someday'". Thanks dude. Much appreciated. read more

First Impression: grandiose. Location: There are multiple lots to park at. Experience: We arrived 20 mins before sunrise, got prime parking and made our way into the amphitheater. There were a few early risers that beat us, bit the closer it got to sunrise the busier it got. I don't think there is a bad seat in the place. Some people brought food and coffee to enjoy (clean up after yourself). It was a great experience. Note: Come early for the sunrise and make sure to bring a blanket during winter. read more

I LOVE this venue! Not only is it beautiful but they have a wonderful variety of acts performing there all the time. No matter what type of music you enjoy, you can rock to it at Red Rocks! Parking is abundant and FREE!! I prefer the lower South lot but if you need to go back to Denver afterwards, the lower North lot is good too. I would not park in the upper north lot even though it's the closest. It's impossible to get out of you stay for the whole event. One of the best parts of seeing a show at Red Rocks is getting there early and taking a little hike! I've only had water there, so I can't tell you anything about concessions. Looked like there was a good selection. Go see a show here; go see all the shows here! If I lived in Denver, all my money would go to Red Rocks shows. You can also go workout there when there's not a show. Those stairs man! Ouch. read more

First time here. This is a beautiful outdoor venue. At the top of the venue, they have a nice museum and restaurant and various other choices of food and drink. All of the parking at RR is free. It is really well organized. I would give it 5 stars but the seating here isn't ideal. We had reserved seats. All of the seats are benches. Be sure to bring a stadium seat. Be sure it's 18 inches wide or less. Also, the seats are very close together. You will get to know your neighbor. :) There is a lot of room between rows which is good and bad. It's nice to be able to stretch out your legs and not have to get up every time someone wants to get by. Unfortunately, it's too easy to get by. You will probably have many people walking past you during the show. This is especially annoying if you are taking of video. After the show, there was almost no traffic.

Red Rocks Amphitheatre - The view from row 17. - Music Venues Near Me - Morrison, Colorado

I feel silly even reviewing this because obviously it's AMAZING. I make it a point to travel halfway across the country for at least one show here every year. The scenery is gorgeous. The food options are great, and the service is good..but obviously that's not what I'm coming here for. Listening to the music under the stars surrounded by the rocks and that view is just amazing! I have zero complaints, but for people who have limited mobility or don't love exercise, just know that you will be doing some moving at altitude. The walk up is quite an incline, and it's not short. Keep in mind, they do have a shuttle from the parking lot to the front and it is accessible with an elevator if needed. If you don't go that route, be prepared for an incline walk and a lot of stairs. Make sure you give yourself time to get up there! read more

I've been to red rocks several times (although not for a concert yet!) and it has been a great experience each time. I enjoy hiking around the area on the various trails. There are always others on the trail too, but it is generally not overly growled. I was particularly hit on the day we were there over the summer (and this is coming from a FL guy!), but in fairness it was 107 degrees that day. This is a note that there is not a lot of over or shade along these rails, so if you are sensitive to sun, be mindful of the temperatures when you go. Trekking into the Amphitheater is always fun too. It's cool to walk around - but definitely more people milling around there than on the trails. They were setting up for the evenings show when we were there and you could see the crews working to set up the stage. Definitly somewhere you shoudl check out if you've never been - a great experience. read more

A quick scenic hike at Red Rocks with a friend on my Colorado trip, was breathe taking. During a spontaneous weekend ride, we stopped by Red Rocks Amphitheatre just so check out the view. There wasn't an event happening, but it was still a great experience. The Roa for closer access was closed, so we had to tae the longer route and climb the stairs to reach the amphitheater. It turned into a bit of a workout, even my watch acknowledge the outdoor workout! But the views were worth it. Once we reached the top, seeing the massive red rock formations surrounding the stage was incredible. Even without a concert, you can really appreciate how unique this venue is. The atmosphere was peaceful, with people walking the steps, taking photos and enjoying the scenery. Definitely worth the stop if you're in the area, or visiting the city tourist, even if there's no show scheduled. April 2026, Wiz Khalifa, & Ice Cube are scheduled. May 19, 2026 Kevin Gates will be perfoming I'll love to return to view a concert here. Wish it was someone like Jill Scott, Erykah Badu, or Maxwell. read more

This amphitheater and the surrounding hikes and tourist attractions is just beautiful. There's so many different hikes of varying degrees of difficulties. We'll maintained trails. Lots of cool places to take pictures. This place also has a lot of free parking as well. And street parking leading up to the gift shop. The actual amphitheater is massive. Requiring thousands of workers to carve into the rock side. Its absolutely a feat of engineering. Beautifully carved into that rock. Standing in there you feel the enormous-ness of the building. They have a nice indoor museum thing. It was very well put together. Lots of information. Good pictures and information. Its very clean and well-maintained. Nice restaurant in there too. I just love how they blended human creation naturally and seamlessly into God's creation. No showboating or trying to out due nature. Just with grace, beauty and respect. read more
