FlatIron Crossing is a great place for families! The kids' area is good, especially since it's indoors, though it's not very big. It's a bit disappointing that they removed the jumping feature. The food court is okay, but the smell could be better. There are plenty of busy shopping stores, though some snack shops can be a bit pricey.
This mall brings nostalgia when visiting. Memories of the old Villa Italia mall come up. It is built similar to the aurora shopping center with it dual levels. There are a lot of stores and vendors throughout the venue. From clothing apparel to shoes, furniture, collectibles, gadgets, furniture, kitchen accessories, and plenty of restaurants. Stores are constantly changing or moving from different floors to different locations. Christmas brings other stores that aren't usually there during the summer. It's a great place to visit during the week because it's not as hectic like during the weekend.
Got to get in some exercise, training for our pup, and entertain the kid, all in one trip 🙂. Nice all-in-one experience and day overall. Nice selection of retail, entertainment, and food options in one convenient location. I do not recommend using the escalators with a pup. The elevator is a much safer option. 🐕🐶
FlatIron Crossing – A Perfect Shopping and Family Day Destination! FlatIron Crossing is one of our favorite places to spend the day when we’re in the Denver area. The mix of stores is fantastic — from big favorites like LEGO, BoxLunch, and Adidas to unique specialty shops you don’t find everywhere. It’s clean, spacious, and has a really welcoming atmosphere. The mall layout makes it easy to navigate, and everything feels bright, modern, and well-kept. The food court offers plenty of great options, and there are so many fun spots to explore — perfect for families, teens, or anyone looking to shop and unwind. We especially loved the LEGO Store (a must-see!) and appreciated how friendly and helpful the staff were throughout the mall. Parking was easy, and the entire space felt safe and well-managed. If you’re in the Broomfield area, FlatIron Crossing is definitely worth the stop — whether you’re shopping, grabbing lunch, or just making memories. 📍 FlatIron Crossing – Broomfield, CO 🛍️ Clean, fun, and full of great energy.
Great theater. Love the reclining chairs and cleanliness of the theater. Don't know if the movie we went to see was not popular, or the time frame of the movie caused our theater to be empty except for 2 other couples. Which made it even better because it was dead silent and totally enjoyable!!
Great mall with lots of shops. Very quite in the middle of the day.
this mall dares to dream big and innovate. theyre not afraid to ask the tough questions, like: "can newspaper be even thinner? and if so, can we use it for toilet paper and install it in all the bathrooms?" just brilliant

I have been debating coming here for years!! Ha ha! Finally came today and it was worth it. We arrived early, so we could get a shaded picnic bench. Everything was clean and staff was friendly. We stayed from 10-4! Which is a lot for us. Had such a great time. I love the open layout of the main pool area. There is a toddler/younger kid pool area and it’s got a slide and is so fun. The water isn’t freezing like some of the pools we have been to recently. Water is nice. There is a nice snack bar available but not many gluten free options, sadly. Lots of bathrooms available, including a family bathroom.
The reservation system allows us to enjoy the water facilities better. The kids love it, and the staff are very responsible. The changing rooms are a bit small and there aren’t many of them.
We have an absolute blast here for only $9 to get in. It's not a bad deal. I also like the fact that you have to do an online reservation, and there's only 2 time slots available, so it's not super crowded and nowhere to sit. We got chairs easily at the 130 time slot in the grass under the trees.. The staff is super friendly and nice to everyone
This is a small waterpark with a bunch of slides and splash pads for smaller swimmers. The minimum height for the slides is 48 inches. Keep in mind that they require advanced reservations on the Broomfield recreation site. It is too early to tell whether you can make reservations when you walk up so plan ahead.
This rating is specifically for the Dog Days event they have at the end of the season. I look forward to this event every year and drove from Cherry Creek just to attend! It is well-organized and there are multiple areas for dogs to safely play. The vendors are great and the staff appeared invested and prepared. Both my pup and I LOVE all of the available tennis balls. I also enjoyed the music playing in the background. My pup had THE BEST time and is now sound asleep. Great job!!!
Excellent! Young kids areas and older kid and adult area with tubing and waterslides. There is a place to purchase drinks and snacks. Had a great time!
I took two kiddos here yesterday, unaware of the reservation requirement, as it was not apparent on their website. Very graciously, we were allowed in, and paid in full. After swimming for only 15 minutes we were told the park would be closing for a half hour, and that we would be permitted re-entry after. However, when we tried to re-enter, we were denied. While it was very courteous of the staff to allow us in without a reservation in the first place, it is not acceptable that we were denied re-entry after having paid in full without being told at any point (especially after waiting the half hour). Our complaint was then bounced across multiple staff members who were latent and noncommittal.
Edit for response to owner We went when you had a reservation process, unaware you had one. You got us in on a "guest pass" which I didn't understand just meant overcrowded. Incredibly irresponsible. Especially when we had to leave right away. We had a deeply disappointing experience at this facility. Within 15 minutes of arriving, the pool area was so overcrowded that we felt it was unsafe for children and chose to leave. While we understand the no-refund policy, the staf was unnecessarily rude and dismissive when we raised our concerns. The cleanliness of the facility was subpar, and the layout offered no clear space for actual swimming, only crowded play zones. Additionally, the family shower rooms lack curtains, creating an uncomfortable and potentially inappropriate situation. Even if most guests wear swimsuits, it’s basic facility design to provide privacy in shared spaces. Installing a curtain is a minimal, essential fix. We will not be returning and cannot recommend this pool to others.

9/11 memorial in Broomfield did a really nice job with the tribute of the fallen on the sad day in history. A day we all remember. Thank you to those who sacrificed on that day.
Broomfield has always been there to support 9/11 victims through their Healing Fields and then getting funding for this amazing Memorial. It has a tribute to the Pentagon, Shanksville,PA & the Twin Towers. All the names are listed of our fellow Americans who paid the ultimate price for just going to work that day. The year they dedicated whe Monument was such a powerful moment here in Colorado! It gives us a place to go to keep alive the memory of all that we lost that day & how we came together as a nation. Thank you!! Everyone should stroll through the Memorial. It even has a piece from the Twin Towers incorporated into the design. So beautiful.... #neverforgotten
Very beautiful. Great ride and very calming.
Broomfield always puts on such a great Ceremony to honor those who passed on September 11th, 2001. Although the crowds keep getting smaller we all must "never forget " those that lost their life in this tragedy.
Visiting this memorial made me cry for the lives lost, and the bravery of heros.
2 Pokemon go stops brought me to this lovely and thoughtful memorial.
The Memorial wall was very moving . It was filled with messages to 9-11victims.
Respectful reminder of all we do for all of ourselves.

This open space has an easy little trail. It is a good area for a quick walk after dinner. It has great views of the mountains giving you something to enjoys during your walk. There are a lot of prairie dogs in the field as well.
Love this park and walking trails! Clean, well stocked restrooms and a great fitness playground in addition to the kid's playgrounds.
Prairie dog colonies. Two mile loop to walk. Open Sky
Nice trails, nice views. Pretty calm and quiet. Connects to a park with a bathroom area as well. Good way to spend an hour or two on a nice day!
This park is absolutely beautiful right next to an open space give its a huge park feel. It has multiple very well kept fields a huge park for the kid's, you can't forget the dog park attached.
I went for the Fourth of July to watch the fireworks, it is a great park to walk around during the day too and it is well maintained.
I've lived across from the open space / park since 2007. Always a nice getaway for a short walk, a good run, or time with family or friends. Broomfield does a great job at improving it, while still keeping it "untouched."
This area of Broomfield Commons Park is so beautiful. AKA Tom Frost that does not have the ball fields in the South/South-east area.

I visited today and spent about two hours viewing all the exhibits. I've been to a number of museums like this but what stood out to me was the personal stories of people from all over Colorado. The staff was very welcoming and gave many helpful insights as I toured.
Tour guide David is amazing! Patient, kind and thoughtful We loved every minute We will return! John and Cheryl .... and Mike (mother, Lillian Louise Oehlschlaeger, Army nurse, USS Mercy WWII) Thank you David For your time, caring and sharing Mike McKeen
The Veteran’s Museum in Broomfield is a Jewel for the community and a welcomed call to expose of the significance of our Veterans of wars and peace missions for USA and around the world. The Veteran’s Museum has made a positive impact on our community. I’m proud to know many of the veterans and those who have dedicated their time to make the museum so special and signicant. The stories told, show the significance of our brave men and women and the change they have made in our lives and the lives of future generations. The Museum has an excellent library highlighting many aspects of all wars. Their displays shown with authentic memorabilia along with stories that adds wonderful dimensional learning experience for all. We honor all the men and women of all wars and all service branches. And we thank them and the other souls in our community and the surrounding areas for their contribution to keeping all of us and the those not only in the US, but also in many, many areas all around the world. You must come to the live presentations by many published authors and veterans sharing their unique experiences in wars around the world. To top it off the museum is in a national historical location as the museum is housed in what was once the original library in Broomfield and it was dedicated and visited by Mamie Eisenhower, the wife of our former President Dwight D. Eisenhower who served from 1953 to 1961. I’m proud to say this was my first library as I was born in 1961 and lived here most of my life. And now, as the Veteran’s it’s still my most favorite place to be. Janet L Sund. 🇺🇸. Daughter of Bob Greeno, Helicopter Pilot I. Korea and 9 Uncles who searched in the many branches and f the military.
Friendly staff and volunteers well put together and laid out displays!
Great place to visit and learn about what ,where, who were in wars, and their contributions. I was in W-1-12, 3rd. Mar. Div. 1967. My time was difficult, but I am grateful to have served. Nam changed my life forever and gave me a different life, when I came home, November 1967. Thanks to all who served.
You need at least an hour for a tour. Then go back and read all you can on the displays. Do not miss the library and gallery of illustrations. I didn't take pictures, museums normally do not allow photographs. Easy in and out parking area.
A Hidden Gem in Broomfield! The volunteers here have done a great job assembling and maintaining this war that spans all American wars. The museum is free but donations are welcome.
Hidden Colorado Gem. This free museum is run by volunteers and operates on donations. You can do a self guided tour or have a guided tour by one of their extraordinary volunteers. I highly recommend taking the extra time to have a volunteer show you around. There are many interesting artifacts you might miss out on a great story. Many brave Coloradoans served this country, and its nice to know there is a special place to honor their sacrifices.

What a great auditorium. Easy parking and a very cozy vibe.
Lovely venue. Chairs are a little uncomfortable. But still very nice.
Easy to get to and lots of parking. Had no issues and everyone was nice.
Fairly nice place to go see a play or something I actually went to see my son perform their the seating was okay the atmosphere was okay the people that work there were fairly friendly. However, I'm not sure if it's on the presenter of the play that my son participated in or Broomfield auditoriums video equipment operators, nevertheless I was unable to get a copy of my son's play because somebody dropped the ball! Very disappointing for his first play/ musical!
This is a great little venue for acoustic music. I heard the Broomfield Youth Orchestra perform he and was pleasantly surprised by the quality of sound in this little auditorium. I sat about in the middle of the center seats. I could see everyone as well as hear well.. The conductors were easily heard without electronics. There appeared to be an upper section but I don't know if there are seats up there or not. I had no difficulty getting around with my MS. There is plenty of disabled parking spots. It is a beautiful space outside as well. I look forward to seeing more performances here. They seem to offer lots of good programs by and for children. Hope to see you a show!
The seating is pretty good, it's a decent size for a small community. The stage is super small though, we could barely fit the orchestra! Broomfield Auditorium was always a great place to see shows, and that hasn't changed one bit!
Great place, Marvelous Musicals is always a blast and I love performing on their Concert Grand Piano!
The venue holds about 250. The seating on the main area, wings and balcony is comfortable with excellent sight lines to the stage. There's exceptional acoustics and and an overall wasn't ambiance.

Neat place to learn about Broomfield history. Come learn about one of Colorado's largest planned cities. You won't regret it.
Cool little museum. No cost. The kids liked seeing the way people used to live. I bet we spent about an hour at the museum. It was a rainy day so we couldn't spend much time outside. Parking was ample and very close.
This is indeed a hidden gem in Broomfield. I could have easily spent 2 hours there as they have preserved a rich part of local history. Jake (our 16 y/o, volunteer tour guide) was polite, helpful, knowledgable and overall entertaining,. A "Must See" in Broomfield.
Broomfield Depot Museum was a delightful place. The exhibit showing was about Broomfield Heights which was a bedroom community development in the 1950s built along the Boulder Turnpike.
Small depot building, quick tour. Everyone is super friendly and full of facts about Broomfield. Shep's final resting place is beautiful.
Interesting place to see life in Broomfield before all the people moved in. There are a few things for kids to do as well, like dress up in period clothes as they explore.
Nice historical place. Glad they saved everything they did. Friendly helpful people. Love the Shep grave🐕🐶🐩
Lots of good specimens of the old train station, love the occasional escape rooms.
