The presentation begins promptly at 545p and lasts for 5minutes. The lights are orchestrated with holiday music and shows real well. Even on a Saturday, the crowd was minimal so we had a good view from Civic Center Park. A nice way to bring in a little cheer to your evening. Thank you Denver for continuing this tradition in 2020.

Both ends mirror each other with a large Colonnade. This Voorhies Memorial was named for John N.P. Voorhies, the benefactor of this project. His money helped finish off the structure at the north end of the park in around 1919. The Colonnade is made up of Sandstone and Granite. Sculptors Arthur and William Fisher designed this memorial. The Sea Lions in the pool is also a part of this memorial. It was designed by Robert Garrison and installed in 1922. We walked in through the south entrance and gazed into the distance to the southern entrance of the park. It is a pretty spectacular view! We looked around the park and made our way to the northern end. First off, I saw the pond, it was interesting to see cherubs on the backs of the Sea Lions. Then, I had to take a second look at the heads on posts. They do seem out of place, but it brought more interest to the area! These are actually the Chinese Zodiac animals. I didn't know these were here. Why? Because the animal heads are on tour! They were designed by Ai Weiwei. It is called "Circle of Animals". They have been created in Bronze. It was cool to see these animals there! Since this collection is on tour, I don't know how long they will be here or where they'll be headed next. It was a pleasant surprise to see this while exploring the park! If you are nearby and want to see this installation, do it while it is here!

First, it's not quite what you think - nothing is sold and nothing is used there. I wouldn't say it's exactly family friendly for every family but there were little kids there. We started with the meditation/laser show. The room, once the church sanctuary, is painted in the brightest colors imaginable. It's absolute eye candy. You sit (or lay) on church pews that are full of squishy pillows. The lights dim, the meditation starts and the lasers illuminate various parts of the room. Even with the rock music, it really was mellow and relaxing. I don't know if you're permitted to sit through it more than once but I know that I would have liked too. While the laser show and "brightness" may be the main draw, the arcade was the most fun for us. Everything is included, no quarters needed. I played ski-ball until my arm was tired. While my husband played Galaga, I was drawn to the lite-brite. Simple? Yes but I wasn't allowed to have one when I was little and this was an absolute thrill for me. We then went into another room where we played Mario Cart - the game was projected onto an entire wall. There were board games, more arcade games, crayons and markers...everything needed to unleash your inner child - my husband and I spent the entire afternoon doing just that. We're back home now. I'm looking at the clock thinking about what to make for dinner. You know what? Heck with it - I'm going to go color instead...

They are currently painted red and white, and I would like to see certain designated rainbow colored ones, for dogs with gender identity issues. I called Longmont Public Safety chief, Mike Butler, concerning this issue, but he wasn't helpful AT ALL. I told him my dog doesn't like to squat when she pees; she likes to lift her leg, and I needed to know that she is free to pee at the fire hydrant of her choice, without fear of discrimination. Mr. Butler said that as far as he knew, Longmont TREES were transgender, so what was the problem? Mr. Butler didn't give a rip about equal rights for dogs to use the fire hydrant of their choice, regardless of gender identity.

The tour was not only decent with the history of the building and the culture which is Colorado, I learned some things contributed by this state that I didn't know. Like, did you know that the song "America the Beautiful" was a poem written by English professor Katharine Lee Bates after climbing Pikes Peak? Did you know Colorado was really active in the women's suffrage movement? There's plenty more to say about this fair state and the house that leads it, but I'll let ya'll learn for yourselves.

The building itself is huge, thoughtfully organized, and full of natural light, which makes it a great place to spend a few hours exploring. There are so many different ways to enjoy the space. You can grab a book and settle into one of the cozy reading areas, reserve a study room, or stop by the coffee shop. There's also a fantastic kid-friendly area and even fish tanks that add to the calm, relaxing atmosphere. One of my favorite parts is the location right along Boulder Creek. You can step outside and walk the path, enjoy the scenery, and then come back inside to read or work. It feels like the perfect mix of nature, community, and learning. The library also hosts events throughout the year, so there's always something going on. Whether you're visiting Boulder or you live nearby, it's absolutely worth a stop. Great vibes all around.
