Things to Do in Boulder
Located 35 minutes northwest of Denver, Boulder is a captivating community enriched with natural beauty, hip urban culture and a vibrant love of the outdoors. Visit Boulder and experience its distinctive lifestyle overflowing with world-class restaurants, inspired shopping and art, and unbeatable people watching.
SHOP
The Pearl Street Mall is a four-block-long pedestrian area in historic downtown Boulder. It is the heart and soul of Boulder and where 85% of stores are independently owned. Spend time ducking in out of art galleries and independently owned shops and stroll along sidewalk cafes. Pearl Street Mall is also the place to watch Boulder’s street performers. The new Twenty Ninth Street retail district is full of the best national retailers and The Hill is the place to shop alongside college students.
EAT
Boulder’s restaurants and chefs have been highlighted in Bon Appetit, Wine Spectator, Gourmet, Food and Wine, the New York Times, USA Today, on Top Chef and at the James Beard House. Boulder might feel like a small town, but its sophisticated lifestyle demands a rich dining diversity that rivals any major metropolitan area. Many of our restaurants embrace the idea of local, seasonal, artisanal cooking. The Farm-to-Table movement is strong.
SEE GREEN
Boulder has what it takes to make a town green – a strong recycling program, green hotels, organic restaurants, a network of trails and fresh thinking. You’ll probably notice alternative energies – you’ll see cars that are fueled with bio-diesel and shops along the Pearl Street Mall are wind powered and its Wi-Fi is solar powered. Also, many climate change scientists work in Boulder – 40 of them were members of Former Vice President Al Gore’s team that won the Nobel Prize on climate change in 2007.
BIKE, HIKE, ALONG THE CREEK
Renting a bike is a fun way to see the town and experience Boulder as a local. Bike shops rent cruiser bikes or the fastest racing bikes for an hour or a day. There are easy trails for picnics and strolls along Boulder Creek or hard core trails if you’re looking for something tougher.
BE INSPIRED
While Boulder is known to be one of America’s most enthusiastically outdoor-recreation-focused communities, our arts scene is vigorous and diverse. At the Colorado Shakespeare Festival you can sit under the stars and watch a play. The Colorado Music Festival performs in a hundred-year-old wooden auditorium and the acoustics are still perfect. Downtown is full of galleries and free outdoor concerts. Boulder is consistently named as one of the best art towns in the country.
