We purchased our tickets there at the office but there’s an option to pay online also .. I believe the tickets were like 25$.. I can’t remember but you get a couple of hours so it’s a reasonable price OMGEEEEE Me and my daughter & fiance went tubing ya’ll ‼️‼️‼️ This was a good experience & so so much FUN …besides driving in the mountains this was a thrill for me!!! OAN look at how close the sun was to us in my video.. super cool😉😉💯💯 #atimewashad
This is the best tubing hill in Fraser. My son and I had a blast. The staff were extremely friendly and the hills here are huge! I highly recommend this location for tubing. The walk to the lift can be a little tiring after a while, but that didn't take away from the blast we had on the hill. Thank you guys for such a fun time!
We had so much fun we came 2 days in a row from Westminster!!! Great time kids enjoyed it and was a fun experience for the whole family. We will definitely be coming back during the winter months and all year round in the future!!!
Overall, the experience was okay where it went bad is where they have ride operators. Just monitoring the gate, rather than having one person at the top of the hill with a walkie-talkie and another one at the bottom of a hill, to dictate ride safety. There was an accident where a grown man didn't wait and crashed into my 8 yr old child. Do better and make a change. Waiver or no it's about a family's enjoyment.
This is our absolute favorite place to tube in all Of Colorado! It’s sad to see some low star reviews bc we have never had any issues! Just tons of fun, lots of laps and memories forever! Thanks Colorado adventure park! Best tubing ever!
Worst tubing hill I’ve ever tried out. It was a narrow run and there were so many people with absolutely no staff at the top to direct people. Totally unregulated so it’s very dangerous. Due to that, your safety depends on how considerate or smart the people that go after you are. I saw several people get injured and no one to help them while on my way up. On my first run with my boyfriend in a double tube, we got struck by a group of 4 before we even came to a complete stop and were able to get up to move out of the way. I got flown out of the tube and got a bad injury to my ribs. He got hurt too but one of the other people softened his fall a bit because he landed first on them. I’m going to have to visit a doctor to get an Xray to rule out a fracture to be safe. As we were walking back to the concessions building to get help and a refund, we saw another lady that got injured having to be carried away likely to the hospital. So not worth it. Go anywhere else with better regulations and or less people..
I had a fantastic experience from the moment I called with questions before heading to the park. They were very attentive to all my concerns. Upon arrival, the staff was extremely helpful and polite. I highly recommend this vendor over all the other snow tubing options. I truly appreciate the genuine service and the passion for getting people out in the snow.
Tubing experience was good. Major issue was the people management due to holiday season/overcrowding. Manager could have been more calm and composed during racists situation rather than acting out weirdly.

We didn't get to go into the tubing area because there were a lot of people and we had to park far. We had our elderly parents and we weren't going to make them walk.. Instead, we had a blast just in the area that we parked! There was so much snow:) incredible view !
It was overall a good experience but we did wait a long time. It was about an hour and a half wait from the time we paid to the time we actually were able tube down the hill. We did go on a Sunday so that might have been the reason why it was so busy. I would recommend taking snacks, especially if you have little ones, unless you want to pay for some.
Really fun, Hills well maintained. however the facility itself is old, not very clean and the rental counter staff was just not friendly (the outside staff was awesome though). Be prepared for tough time finding parking (TIP get someone in line while you are looking for Parking), bring food and warm drinks because during season it will likely be over an hour (or more) wait for your rental tubes.
Excellent family run operation with a much better and faster system for returning to the top of the hill than the place next-door. We have a lot of fun every time we go at regularly take out of town guests.
Fantastic experience. It was crowded, but the lines were quick with minimal wait. You get going pretty fast down this hill, and it was a great alternative to skiing! Definitely recommend the 90min session!
So much fun, great staff and great price! We had a larger group of people 30+ years olds and we had a blast! Highly recommend.
Hands down, the BEST Tubing Hill in Colorado! Great prices, great hill, great staff!!! No lanes, just fun. 2 lifts to get you back up the hill. I go at least once a year on my birthday - sometimes more. Highly recommend!
Incredible experience. Came in February 2022 with three kids, ages 7, 12, 16, and 55.. wait the last one was my husband :-)))) okay the tickets wait was the least favorite part, once we got the tubes the crazy awesomeness has began. In two hours we took countless rides. I don't recall laughing and screaming this much for a very long time. True recover and rejuvenation experience. Everyone had a great time. It was busy of course but sunny, well organized and my kids were so happy to get it of the house and do something together. We will be back again. Highly recommend to families, solo travelers, and couples. Yes it takes some effort to walk back to the lift but the thrill of going down was so so worth it. We loved it.. We will be back next winter

10/10 Highly Recommend! We had a wonderful time doing the rappelling tour! None of us had any prior experience, but were excited to learn. Kai was our guide. He was very informative, friendly, and reassuring as we hiked up and rappelled down the cliff face. I was very impressed by his professionalism, not only with our group, but with his coworker Danny. They worked very well together to support each other and make sure our family as well as Danny’s rock climbing group had an incredible and safe experience. We are sore today lol but will definitely be back next time we come up to visit!
Rock Climbing experience was great - Kai was equally great with kids and adults; super positive experience for everyone. Well worth the time and money!
The absolute best! Igor and his team are excellent- couldn't find a better group for a team bonding weekend. We brought our team of 30 student-athletes from the DU Ski Team and had such a blast on the ropes course. Don't miss this experience!
Absolutely fantastic! The rock climbing was an incredible experience for my 10 year old son. The staff taught him and encouraged him to climb to the top and he did it twice. Our group had a wide range of age groups and everyone had a great time. The ropes course is fun for the whole family. Our age group was 48-10 years old and we had a blast. Very challenging and a lot of laughs. I would highly recommend Winter Park Adventure Quest
Thank you Igor best guide in town. Thank you taken time show basic rock climbing skills. Be back next year for whole day private guide
We loved, this it was $45 a person. We had our three older kids do it since the ymca rope course was closed in October. The guide was really good at working on team building, and how to trust themselves. They even got to climb the wall afterwards and it was a challenge at the top but boosted confidence! A great course to do if the winter park ymca doesn’t have theirs open.
We had an amazing time on the ropes course. Kiren was an excellent guide, getting us suited up quickly and efficiently and providing helpful tips on the course. We will definitely be back and will be recommending Winter Park Adventure Quest to all our friends.
We had a great time doing the aerial ropes course! My husband, daughter and I will remember doing this as a family forever. I personally went out of my comfort zone and pushed my limits. It was worth it! Egor was awesome to work with, very supportive, helpful and prioritizes safety! Thanks for the wonderful memories!

Great pool and place to go when the weather isn't agreeing with outside plans. If using airbnb or similar check if they offer free days with your rental because many do.
Best mountain rec center I ever been to. Very friendly staff and clean environment. Wish the pool area was open a little later.
This place was really nice! Lots of things to do and the facility was clean. It was $13 during the week for a day pass. There’s a sauna, steam room, pool, water slide, small lazy river, and gym areas. Sergio at the front desk was kind and helpful!
Amazing equipment, large facility, welcoming and helpful staff. This renovation was executed so well. The red center is incredible now.
The Aquatic Center here is fantastic for young kids, with a sizeable water slide and small lazy river. Would highly recommend for anyone just staying in the mountains for a few days with kids. The prices are very reasonable for non-residents as well.
I only pay the pass for the day, the lady at the frontdesk was very rude, and the machines, it was very dirty, no wipes to clean .. I used the sauna, when I took at shower at the lady's lockers. Also no shampoo nothing. Very disappointed.
I really enjoy the aqua center with all its hot tabs. Steam rooms, nice place, you spend an hour
Great community recreation center. Friendly staff, nice facilities, accessible by the Lift bus and offering a diverse set of workout, climb and swim options at a reasonable price.

This was the best experience ever. Amazing wine, amazing price. I loved every part of the Winter Park Winery. The place was beautiful, the wine was amazing, the service was phenomenal, and the price was fantastic. Definitely consider supporting them, you will thank yourself later.
Great wine tasting with the owner and winemaker, John. Enjoyed meeting Hank the cat too.
Spur of the moment stop! Saw the winery sign and decided to stop and check it out. Did the wine tasting. 5 tastings. They were all pretty dang good. I was impressed. I've done many wine tastings and normally have to choke down a couple. Excellent wines. The host said he was the owner and gave us a little back story on each wine. Had a nice quick stop. Picked up a bottle to take home.
Cute little winery - loved the experience and time we spent chatting with the gal working there. The art hanging on the wall is fantastic! Definitely worth a stop.
We just popped in and picked up a deliciously soft and mildly fruity Pinot Grigio which the proprietor John makes in house w Chilean grapes. Definitely stop in for a wine tasting if you’re in the neighborhood or do yourself a favor and buy a few bottles or cases
Cozy space, great wine and knowledgeable host. She played the flute and even has artwork for sale. Would go back anytime; especially with visitors!
I've been here before and am always happy to come back. I really enjoy just getting to taste everything and making new friends with the other visitors.
Service was so so. Wine was decent. I bought 3 bottles of wine, was charged for additional bottles. I asked for adjustment on the actual purchase. I was told I was refunded, but instead was actually charged again! Was told we'd get tasting glasses for free if we bought 3 bottles, was charged for those as well. Charged for tasting that was very tiny pour, not even a full sip. Most wineries do not charge for tasting if you buy the products. all around terrible experience and out of $200 for the double charge! DO NOT GO HERE!

Excellent bourbon and whisky! The owner was so friendly and the flight is a really good deal with a free logo glass to take home. The brisket sandwich and chicken fingers were all we ordered but the food, fries and many sauces were excellent!! Highly recommend!
This is THE spot for great cocktails, yummy snacks, and cozy vibes after a day of adventuring. I seek out good old fashioneds and this distillery delivers. Not only is the quality top notch, and all local, but the interaction with the owners, who have obviously poured their heart and soul into curating their own brand, made the entire experience. They also have an extensive selection of to go cocktails, so it’s a one stop shop. Don’t hesitate to come here, highly recommend.
We had a fantastic meal at Fraser Valley Distilling! The brisket sandwich was flavorful and tender. The fries, flatbread pizza, and chicken fingers were all delicious, with great sauce options. The Brussels sprouts were crispy and perfectly seasoned. For dessert, the chocolate cake was rich and worth saving room for! We loved trying their Southern Old Fashioned, Colorado bourbon, and the Rosa Sunrise cocktail. The family who owns it was super kind and passionate about their craft. Definitely recommend if you’re near Fraser or Winter Park!
Apple fennel salad was fantastic, I cleaned my plate. Corn bread was excellent. Brussel sprouts was decent. The banana run cocktail was amazing and I can't wait to come back and drink it again. It was sweet with a banana aroma, without being cloying or tasting like a banana candy.
Very average food. They were completely out of all their flatbreads, which greatly reduced our options. We had the buffalo cauliflower to start with - it seemed to have been drenched in a part buffalo, part white vinegar sauce, the kind where you get a whiff of it and your nose immediately wrinkles/your breath catches. It was SO strongly smelling of vinegar! Generally buffalo cauliflower is a safe option but this was pretty terrible. The garden salad was good, in both quantity and flavor (once you removed the pound of parmesan cheese on top). The eggplant parm was disappointing (funky tasting sauce), and the breadsticks it came with looked better than they tasted (lacked salt and felt like eating plain bread). Nice ambiance and we were seated pretty quickly, but those were the only positives from our visit.
We really enjoyed our dinner and mixed drinks! In particular, the agave rosa old fashioned was unique. The macaroni & cheese appetizer was a big hit with the kids and adults. Don’t sleep on the garlic aioli with their famous fries! Fun but calm environment, nice and casual, with both indoor and outdoor seating. The staff were kind and happy. Good food, good moods, overall a great way to unwind after a day exploring the great outdoors!
I was actually really impressed with the food at this place, so much so, that I wanted to leave a review. I got the Italian sandwich and it was SO good. The bread was so fresh that I am convinced they make their own bread, and if not, they bought the bread before I got there and heated it. Lol. The ingredients were fresh tasting, and the flavor on the sandwich was really good. The Brussels were yummy and perfect amount of crunch. I also stole some friend’s fries, and they were pretty stinking good too. Everything just tasted FRESH.
great vegan burger as well as many vegetarian options. also super lgbt friendly with a pride flag in the entry and many staff wearing pride shirts- it can be hard to feel safe in smaller mountain towns but this place was lovely 🩷

In my opinion, one of the top 10 hikes in CO
The trail and great and hike isn't difficult. About 6.8 miles round trip. The lake is quite peaceful and plenty of places to sit and eat your lunch and relax. The reason this is a three star review is the road to the trail is a disaster. The road itself is the reason I wouldn't go back. 11 mile drive and the first 3-5 are fine. The last stretch are just huge pot holes undriveable without the right vehicle.
Great moderate hike! Rewarding views all over the place!
Awesome mountain lake, great hike on the moderate side with fantastic views at the top. Lake is huge too, swimmable and fun for people of all ages.
GREAT hike destination. Beautiful hike into mountain lake bowl under Mt. Neva.

Beautiful paintings and prints of local places and botanicals. Also some really fun ones. The atmosphere is cozy and the owner is friendly and relaxed. She also has a beautiful cat. It's definitely worth a visit.
Elizabeth is so very nice. My family and I had to wait quite a long time to get the train back to Denver, so we wandered in to her gallery. Such beautiful work, a very interesting building, and Elizabeth was so welcoming and informative. My grand daughter was very impressed with her art and studio. If you are in town be sure to stop in.
Best art gallery and print shop in town, plus locally owned and operated 👍 highly recommend. Support local business. Great selection of items & clothes, and original local art & paintings.
Really fun and eclectic gallery/thrift shop. Elizabeth was very nice and talkative about her work and approach to her fans. We had a great time, enjoyed her art, and would enjoy returning.
Great selection of thrifty items & clothes. Lovely original local art & paintings
Great little art gallery featuring the artist

What a great place to hang out at! Cool slide, beautiful scenery, wonderful open space to run, easy to access, and close to a path and park! My son loved the cool skate park right near the stage! Can't wait to go back for some more fun. Definitely recommend checking out this place out.
Great place to take kids. Play ground, skate park and winter sledding. They have some sleds that are community use if you don't have one.
Very nice venue to take in the Colorado outdoors. Collapsible chairs and clean restrooms are provided. BYOB, snacks, and enjoy the show!
This place is great for outdoor events! The lawn surrounding the stage is fantastic for lounging, and they even provide loaner folding chairs, so leave yours at home.
Beautiful outdoor venue. You don't even need to bring your own chairs.
What a great park all around. The skate park can get very busy and some people seem to think they own it. Maybe you should build your own park if you want it to yourself. Great venue overall.
Very nice community park! We celebrated New Years Eve here. They had a silent DJ, tubing, sleds, and finished the night with awesome fireworks.
I just checked out this area driving by and it looks really nice and well kept. They have public restrooms here. A skatepark, playground in grassy areas to play. They also have a huge grass venue for events and concerts.
