The 50 best things to do with kids in Fort Collins

I took my nieces daughter, who is 6, to the Fort Collins Museum of Discovery. She loved being able to roam around and touch everything. The creepy crawlies, playing the instruments and lifting a piano were a huge hit. It's a smaller museum but great for a family outing with little ones

Great, hands on museum for kids and adults alike! Not a huge place but we took our time and our son had a blast. The music area in particular was really fun, it was cool to be able to play many different instruments, if your in FOCO or just don't mind the drive, this one should definitely be added to your list.

Enjoyed this facility and space! Clean and friendly atmosphere! Enjoyed the orbital viewing ! The views from the rooftop is also amazing! Items in the gift shop and market are reasonably priced!

My 18 month old had SO much fun here! We could've stayed for hours! There are tons of interactive exhibits, a special zone for toddlers, a rooftop view of Fort Collins, and the most friendly staff ever! HIGHLY recommend to anyone from toddlers to adults!

A great little museum and lots of fun for kids. It has been pretty much exactly the same for a long time so it gets a little stagnant. My kids enjoy it but we're from out of town so we don't go on a very regular basis. They've even removed some of the old activities that were enjoyable and some of the current ones seem broken. Still like the place but I wish they would revamp it a little.

Good for learning local history, plus the view from the top is amazing 😍

This place is simply incredible. My 3 year old had the time of his life exploring the different exhibits. There are so many hands on activities and tons to see and do! The staff were incredibly friendly and knowledgeable. Especially if your little one likes musical instruments consider bringing them here! They have basically whole band setups, a jam room and tons of other auditory exploration fun. We will definitely be back!

Wonderful community park. We held a Westie of CO Walk there on a Sat. and thoroughly enjoyed the walk around the park. It's very clean, open and beautiful. It is also very popular with others! Good time had by all.

Incredible park! The nearby farm is an absolute must-see; my two and six year olds loved it. This park has a huge variety of play equipment from baby up to pre-teen and it’s all in perfect condition. Plenty of seating for parents and shade trees, surrounded by quite a bit of forested land.

A wonderful wide open park. It seemed clean. No litter around. Safe for everyone. Lots of smiles & laughter from all who were there. A very nice & fun place for children & even grandma & grandpa. 🤓

Lee Martinez community Park is a nice little park right beside the museum. It has a little bit of everything, basketball courts, tennis courts, playground, baseball fields, green open space, lots of shade trees, bathrooms, picnic tables, and paths for bikes and pedestrians.

Absolutely beatiful park with lots of hidden gems. Great for biking or just walking along the paved path. Very clean and virtually zero litter anymore. Quiet too with no traffic noise. Lots of hidden gem spots along the Poudre River. Overall this park has something for everyone.

Very clean and great grass. The Rangers do a great job culling the homeless herd (of which I am honored to be a part of... homeless not Ranger). Seriously the trails out here are spectacular! Best park in FoCo!

Very nice and large park. Its great for having a long walk around the creek. Recommend going there at sunset, the colours in the fall or winter are very beautiful. They also have a nice sports area (basketball and tennis), and a nice playing area for kids.

Beautiful place to spend the day. The water is clean and good for swimming. There’s space to walk, have a picnic, and enjoy the view. No reservation needed—just get there early to find good parking. Highly recommended if you enjoy nature and peace.

What an amazing find, this close to Fort Collins! Plenty of space/parking for boats/trailers, campers and vehicles. Waterside day camping/cookout areas. Fun beach, paddling, boating. Beautiful scenery.

Wide open areas to sit & sunbathe. This is a great place for picnics. Open waters to swim, boat & glide. Very beautiful setting for hiking also. The only suggestion is to arrive early. Parking is limited but available. Several areas to park. Overlooking the city as well. This is a great place to visit time and time again...

Horsetooth Reservoir in Fort Collins is a must-visit destination. Nestled in the foothills of the Rocky Mountains, this scenic reservoir offers something for everyone—whether you’re into water activities, hiking, picnicking, or just soaking in incredible views.

A beautiful day on Horsetooth Reservoir! The water can be a bit choppy in the main body of the lake but the coves are perfect for kayaking, swimming and fishing!

My family and I have been coming for many summers to paddle board. The beach area is great for our kids to play and have the kid swim area roped off to be safe from boats and such. The park rangers are good about checking in to make sure you have safety gear for your family to prevent drowning and such and they have many tables by the parking lot to barbecue and eat if you spend the day there. Park entry is 10$ which I think is a good price for the day. I like how they don’t allow pets on the sand to prevent kids from stepping in urine or poop while they are playing. The view is amazing!

We had a great time walking around and taking photos. The scenery was beautiful!

Fort Fun was an absolute vibe — exactly what the name promises! We stopped by on a family trip while traveling for work from LA to Vegas and found the perfect spot to unwind and enjoy quality time with loved ones. From bumper boats to race cars, there was something for everyone — and we’re talking all ages! The atmosphere was clean, upbeat, and family-friendly with just the right mix of nostalgia and excitement. The staff was friendly and the entire experience felt effortless and fun. Whether you’re a local or just passing through like we were, Fort Fun delivers exactly what you need — FUN. We’ll definitely be back on our next trip through Colorado! Highly recommend.

Lots of fun for kids especially the go-carts and laser tag. The escape room is an additional cost and pricey if you plan on taking lots of kids for the fort fun experience plus the escape room. The arcade is fun also and their staff are great. I would work on the menu a bit. The pizza is mid and everything else tastes bottled or canned. Kids love it but not much for adults. Fries are good.

Had a blast with my parents & my teenage son. Mini golf, bumper boats, go-carts & lazer tag! Plus a decent variety of arcade games to play. Staff was friendly & helpful & the overall experience was great. My parents are in their 60's, I'm in my mid 30's & my son just turned 15. This place has something fun to do for all ages!

I have been going to Fort Fun since I was very small and it’s always a blast. Good go kart track and I like that they have two seaters so you can bring the kiddos with you. Nice size arcade with good machines. Plenty of staff working and they’re polite and friendly.

About a week and a half ago I took my son & some of his friends to Fort Fun for his 10th birthday. While we were there some young adults harassed my kids & their friends bumping them & name calling in the go karts. Then some high school kids made them extremely uncomfortable making inappropriate gestures & comments in the laser tag area. I was EXTREMELY impressed by the way these situations were handled. Erik took charge of the situations with Sawyer’s help & made the kids feel seen & heard. Some of the people were kicked out for their behavior. Erik was quick to handle everything & check in to make sure we were okay & update us. I was bummed this stuff happened in a family establishment that I have been going to since I was a kid, where I have thrown a big party or two throughout the years.. but Fort Fun can’t control their customer’s behavior. I cannot thank the staff here enough for taking swift action & treating us with such kindness. Caleb helped us toward the end of the night as well. The staff here is top notch & I highly recommend this as the place to go for parties, a fun family day or any occasion. Thank you Erik!!!

Took the kids on a Saturday afternoon for some go-karts and overall fun. Kids had a blast. Place was fairly busy, good size parking lot. I was really impressed by the professionalism of the younger staff. Doors being held open for patrons, and I didn't notice anyone just standing around wasting time. They all seemed to hustle. Refreshing change. There were only two games out of service, but being in the same industry, I can understand this. Place was clean, especially for how busy it was. Looking forward to going back again. Price point is reasonable for what you get.

Super fun! You get four hours of fun for a relatively good price. Laser tag was a blast. They have an arcade which you get $5 on. You can always add more go-karts definitely worth it

Impeccable Customer Service from the Lady Manager. Got time for a quick story? We came from Washington dc to skate, arrived Thursday about an hour before closing. Unfortunately we couldn't skate because there was a private party. The manager handled the situation in the kindest manner. I give this place 5 stars. I would definitely CALL TO CONFIRM, Because thou it said it was open to the public everywhere this was the one Thursday it was not... But after you call Definitely stop by... Lost of games and things, skate area looks pretty decent.. Not sure about the Dj and music selection, But regardless go and have a good time..

Very fun facility, great music selection, fair prices on arcade games, and Priscilla was WONDERFUL! She was so friendly and helpful with my first-timer 5-year-old, both with getting our skates and while my daughter made her way around the rink. We will surely be back!

Came from out of town and visited with family. The rink is super big and it doesn't feel cramped or like you're in danger of running into other skaters. The atmosphere is fantastic- classic arcade carpet, well-maintained arcade games, colorful lights in the rink, and good-looking skates. Nowhere in the building looked dirty or unkempt, and it felt very safe. I recommend that you size down when renting, as the skates are more comfortable and give you more control when they're tighter. Keep in mind they don't have half sizes. The employees were absolutely incredible- there was always at least one, usually two, in the rink helping people when they fell so they wouldn't get run over. They were also well-uniformed and confident while skating, and very nice- when they were closing and we were headed out, an employee took a picture for us and even suggested good spots under the LED signs. A couple of employees complemented me on my shirt as well. The DJs had great energy, too. I would absolutely recommend going to Rollerland; they're very friendly to kids and adults and just about anyone can have a good time there. I wish we had been able to spend longer! A heartfelt thank you to all the staff :)

My daughter held my grandsons birthday party here. This young man name Noah was an amazing host. He held down the fort. DJ, Concession, skate fitting, and host. This youngster did it all with a smile on his face and a great attitude. We will take the drive to visit again. I would definitely hire this young man if he ever wanted to change careers.

Attended a special event and we all enjoyed ourselves. The biggest thing I would suggest,- that the big screen TVs would have closed-caption on. Can't hear tvs over the music. This way if you're watching, you can know what is being said.

Our family loves it here! We are able to enjoy our time with all of our kiddos, as we have a son in a wheelchair who can be on the rink as well. It's hard to find a place that's inclusive for all our needs as a family with a disabled individual.

This place is fantastic. My kids love it. The music is good, the employees are great and helpful and friendly. Overall one of our favorite places to go as a family

We weren't fans of the food. Fish n chips were dry, and the slaw wasn't fresh. The beer was good. If everything else is packed maybe consider this place but other than that I wouldn't recommend it.

A fun little place to grab a bite, have a few drinks, and hang out. There are several food options and places to relax. We ate at Vatos Tacos + Tequila. The margaritas were great... especially the jalapeño infused tequila and cucumber margarita. The street tacos were fantastic. You have to try the pork belly taco!! Also, the prices were very reasonable. Give it a try.

The Exchange is a nice, outdoor "patio" atmosphere with a grassy area, picnic tables, benches, and yard games in the summer. This particular day, I only stopped by to get ice cream, but I've been here before, and it will really surprise you, and make a pleasnt place to go alone, with friends, and is very family friendly. The perimeter is surrounded by bars, restaurants, shops, and a small indoor putt-putt bar. The best part is you can take your PURCHASED restaurant food, beverages, even your cocktails, anywhere within the interior of Tge Exchange, to enjoy. There are also high bar tables and a rooftop patio (above Vatos Tacos) to enjoy the beautiful Colorado summer days (don't forget your umbrella, though). Highly recommended for both locals and visitors.

Cool little food community! We tried the Columbian place. Really good food but very pricey ($35 per person) I encourage everyone to try Colombian food at least once though. It’s a super unique culinary experience.

Check it out! Lots of food lots of funny lots of drinks! Great staff at all the bars and restaurants! Kid and pet friendly.

I’m a big fan of food hall style places and this place was great! I love that they’re open late and have a few different options for everyone. Tacos and Tequilas had a few options that were gluten free!

Great place to hang out. Big area for kids to run around. Tacos are fresh and well seasoned. Within walking distance from parking garage. Drinks are strong and delicious!

I wish they did not take away the lazy river inter tubes. It was so peaceful before. I understand most of them popped. I just wish they would buy new ones.

Worst Waterpark in Northern Colorado. I will never bring my kids back here. It is clear they prioritize the safety and fun of teenage boys over young children. They allowed huge teenage boys to throw large footballs in the children’s area. They allowed huge teenage boys To occupy the lazy river for hours on end and not share tubes with the younger children when I spoke to the manager about my concerns, she basically said yeah these are the rules and this is why she had no response for when I said what happens when my child gets hit in the face with one of these big Footballs? She did not apologize. The lifeguard that was rude to my family refused to give his name. This is not how you handle problematic situations. They also told me that my daughter could not wear her Floaties in the deep end when we tried to escape the teenage boys who were throwing huge footballs in the children’s area their response again to this was because parents were less likely to watch their children. If they had their Floaties on in the deep end, it made no sense. My daughters who are 53 and my son who is one their safety was compromised here. Manager did not care did not apologize. The lifeguards did not care did not apologize. Our money was wasted, and we will never return to this pool again. Very disappointed in the staff, unfortunately I don’t know who else to contact to report this negligence. I wish I could give zero stars prioritizing, big huge teenage boys over young children safety absolutely disgusting.

THIEVES BEHIND THE COUNTER! Came here for a good experience. Instead, we were over charged entry for a handicap senior. When I asked for a refund, the attendants behind the counter claimed “they are unable to refund my money because they doesn’t make the rules”, then attempted to brush me off with non-sense and even attempted to side step my request for a supervisor. Still unresolved. THEFT IS THEFT NO MATTER THE AMOUNT! Harley and John, disrespectful and helpless.

It was very crowded but super fun for kids. If they're at capacity, they make you until space is available. Otherwise, it was super fun

Absolute waste of time and money if you want to relax and let multiple children play. There’s dozens of “life guards” however your kids must have a lifejacket and YOU must be within arms reach of every child the entire time. So “life guards” aren’t “lifeguarding” they’re rule enforcing. No refunds. Good luck!

Took my and her siblings here and had a blast

City Park Pool is great! My kids had alot of fun!

Man! So happy I found this place. Been living in Fort Collins for 3 years and never knew this existed. Huge open natural area with great trails. Perfect for kids. Picnic areas. Very secluded, like getting away from the city but right in town. A new favorite of my family.

A lovely place with a whimsical footbridge which was recently redesigned so as to be wheelchair accessible. A great place to take kids as there are lots of cute educational signs and you are allowed to take them off trail to play on logs or wade in the river. It's a perfect place for a short hike and is right on the edge of town. The birding is ok, it's probably one of the best places in town to see screech owls.

This was a really nice place to go to that represented how Colorado used to be. Such a bummer that the city is destroying many of the old trees here for "the river". It is debatable how much of this work is necessary. A number of trees have been taken out for a road for the construction equipment. Fort Collins used to pride itself on all the large trees and now they are taken down without a second thought. This was one of the few spots that still honored that. I guess not any more. It is very hard to believe the amount of destruction that has taken place was necessary. And the marketing around it being for ecosystems is absolute BS.

Nice trails! Mostly shaded. There's the Poudre trail you can take that is paved or if you want to do the CSU trails there are smaller dirt paths- no bikes or pets on these ones. You have to cross a shaky bridge to get to the trails but the CSU trails are in the trees so it's not as hot.

This is the Eastern end of the Poudre Trail in Fort Collins and a quiet, wooded natural area owned by Colorado State University. It's perfect for running, walking, photography, a quiet place to read, and nature watching – a sublime escape from city life while being right in town, any time of year.

Chill nature spot, good for a walk anytime and is connected to the Poudre River Trail. There is a commendable volunteer effort to keep the place pristine and indigenous. Many native plants like Mullein can be found all over, there's a fun suspension bridge and many tiny pier outlooks alongside the river. Many fondly remember the raptor cages – which were a huge draw for the ELC – but among other things, there was a serious avian influenza risk that caused the Rocky Mountain Raptor Program to cease use of the site. The Educational Ambassador raptors will no longer be housed at the ELC. There are however plenty of your usual Colorado forest critters, great horned owls and screech owls, and endless water fowl. This place is a gem.

The new section of the Poudre River Trail is awesome.

This park is awesome and the view is even better! My son loves to come here often. There is lots to do there, including a sandbox,play equipment cool rock slide & lots of trails. .They also have good bathrooms.

This park is awesome! So much fun for children of all ages. Huge fields and a gorgeous view of horse tooth mountain. Lots of trees. Lots of man made boulders for climbing, plenty of parking space and clean restrooms, although not sure if they are open year round.

The best park & playground ever! All age appropriate. Layout leaves room for kids to navigate around without running into each other. There's a lot of varied activities for kids.

We were visiting from Nebraska and had our 3 yr old granddaughter with us. She was absolutely in heaven!!!! We will go again.

Very nice park with lot of different events taking place, very clean. Lot of walking space , Good energy.

1. Awesome Playground (Inspiration Playground) - Inclusive and accessible for all abilities - Features climbing structures, swings, and water play areas 2. Wide Open Spaces - Huge grassy fields for soccer, frisbee, or relaxing - Beautiful views of the Rocky Mountain foothills 3. Dog Park (Spring Canyon Dog Park) - Fenced areas for both large and small dogs - Includes shade, benches, and water access 4. Trails & Fitness - Connects to the Foothills Trail for walking, biking, and running - Paved paths throughout the park

During my 5 day stay in the Northern Colorado area with my two little ones, I had visited many parks to keep them occupied. Spring Canyon Park hands down was the best one providing more than enough playground for all ages. Even I had fun! I couldn’t help but be jealous that my California home community didn’t have such an awesome park. They had a sand play area with a crane and dump play fixtures, a first I had ever seen. Mock rock tunnel, enough swings for children, grassy mounds, huge connected play structures, and clean all gender private restrooms. The sense of community of other adults there and their children made me feel safe and welcomed. The surrounding area with mountains and fall colored trees kept me busy thinking about the glory of God. Worth visiting.

As a professional landscape designer, I was totally caught up in all that this place has pulled off. The foothills garden is fantastic and a delight for anyone that’s not native to the front range (or mountains)! The butterfly garden was 100% worth it for our little one. I can only imagine this place in winter!

Loved the Butterfly exhibit! We heard its best to go on a sunny day.. We unfortunately went on a cloudy day and majority of the butterflies were way up top on the window ledges.. Nonetheless we did see all the butterflies down below. When I went through the gardens the flowers were just about gone .. Mid Sept .. Ill go back some time this summer for sure..

What a beautiful place. It was our first time visiting Fort Collins today and we are so glad we stopped by. The garden is sprawling and immaculate and felt like a beautiful guided experience as the different landscapes of the various gardens seamed into one another. We learned so many beautiful plants that we had never seen before (visiting from Portland, OR/the PNW). Not only was it gorgeous but it was very educational. The butterfly room is a must, it was a beautiful incredible experience and we even got to see butterflies hatch from their chrysalises.

It was lovely. The garden is well labeled and cared for. They have several learning stations. The butterfly house is cool (just way smaller than the one in Westminster and only has species from North America. The Pavilion has species from around the world)

We had such a nice time strolling through and seeing all the different plants. The Twilight Garden Series was both fun and informative, and the staff was so friendly and helpful. Looking forward to checking out more events here!

Beautiful place to visit. The people who work there are so kind and the plants are beautiful and amazing! My favorite is the butterfly room 😍

We visited the gardens on a weekend afternoon. The location was not to busy and plenty of space to walk and read the descriptions of local plants. There is a temporary art installation throughout the gardens of metal sculptures by Melanie Yazzie.

We loved this part, b4--it was close to home. However, last we visited, one of my dogs got into a scrap w/a dog whose mom was playing "growl," IN the dog play area--totally unwise! Mom's growling caused a negative reaction by my dog, aimed at her dog! Not wise! We're seeking a more dog fun location--no mom growling!:(

I loved the playground as a kid. Perfect for kids who like to climb or who enjoy being spun around. The park is beautiful and spacious. The splash pad is iconic. Lovely lake. Overall, a glorious spot to be.

Went for softball games, but the little siblings on the team loved the fishing pond nearby. Good viewing area for parents, though the dugouts do obstruct some viewing. Great park in a very nice community.

I love it here. However, I was super disappointed to see a preteen, with one of his parents carrying a and pretending with a toy assault riffle, I found it in very poor taste to bring that toy to a public park.

This is a very pretty park. Handicap accessible. Great place to fish and picnic.

I loved this Park! There were walking paths around a little lake. Beautiful bird sanctuary. Lots of room for activities. Skateboards, baseball, basketball, climbing wall for the children. Benches everywhere to sit and watch all the activities. Fossil areas. It was really special.

Seems to have everything here, great for all ages. Best skate park in the city I think. There is a kids waterfall on the backside for when it gets warmer. A good size lake that you can fish in or just feed the ducks. Outdoor hockey rink is set up next to the parking lot. There are baseball fields and vendor sales during games. Tennis courts are lit at night The golf course is across the street.

A great place in town for swim lessons and little kids. There are shallow pools and the water is warm. It is also an athletic center with a large deep pool in lanes for serious swimmers. Check times online for open swim and open ice skating, since a lot of training and hockey happens here.

The people/staff were rude and didn't really have a good handle o the info nor would they let myself and 2 kiddos look around with their Grandma. They weren't very helpful as to what the facility had 2 offer. Facility is really nice though.

Large, well maintenanced aquatic center with my options for lap swim times. Prices are reasonable for day passes and it possible even for me as an out of towner guest to reserve lap swim times. I have swam both in 2019 and 2020 at this facility and have found it to be consistently well kept with attentice lifeguards, friendly front door staff and a pool that is often very active with both casual and more serious swimmers.

Multiple times over the last few months the public ice time has been canceled and our daughter missed a lesson due to the cancelation today that was still on the schedule as open skate. The facility is not bad but scheduling is not good.

Very nice facility, our first time here for the Ft Collins Classic figure skating competition. The ice looks good but we only made it to the blue rink not the green. The seating has a great view and it's warm no bundling up required. The pools look awesome but we didn't visit them. We will try to add this competition to our clubs list every year.

Our Family decided to go ice skating the day after Christmas 2022. We go skating together like once every 5 years. I have a hip problem and can never really skate. But this time was better. Even though every one and their cousin decided to go ice skating at Edora at the exact same time. They ran out of skates in my size, but gave me mens in a different size-- in hockey skates. Other people weren't so lucky. And the skating helper sliders were hard to get as sooo many kids were there. Hardly anyone was in the pool or hot tub. The pictures are of the last 5 minutes of skating.

This is a great pool! The facility is clean and we'll managed. It even has an ice rink, but we didn't try that part out.

I love going to this facility but I have to remember not to go between 12-1pm due to a class that meets at that time. The instructor uses a microphone (in the gym) and screams through the microphone and this echos through the whole building. I wear earbuds while working out but can not hear anything but the lady shouting through the microphone at her class. I have complained about this but the desk says there is nothing they can do. I am pretty sure that this instructor does not need a microphone to instruct this class. Sound REALLY carries in the gym.

Was meeting my daughter here today for an activity. In my work clothes and walked in the front door to ask about a restroom. Was asked in a very nasty manner by the woman at the front desk what I was doing there then rudely told there was no public restroom. I understand the issues due to the homeless in the area but if you can’t be civil with people you shouldn’t be working the front desk.

Facility and perks look nice, some great people and staff besides maybe racist older lady at front desk with smart responses and remarks.

Good classes for a variety of fitness needs through city of Fort Collins

Our Father Ralph Wilson From Fort Collins Colorado Had passed away we had Used the north side to Prepare the food to serve Out to everyone Memory Our Father Ralph Wilson now rests in Heaven the Lord Sent his Guardian angel Maria Wilson to lift him bye his Wings taking him into the Glorious of Eternity of Heaven where Is he will Live forever I well Not say Goodbye I will Say I'll see You soon love You Dad and Mama all Siblings Your daughter BESSIE BARRON

Very well maintained and organized. Would recommend for all recreational activities. There is daily fees.

Great location. One of many run by the city of Ft Collins. The gym aka "weight room" is pretty great. It costs a bit more than I would expect for the quality. Also, the hours are very limited and they're never open on holidays. Otherwise the staff are friendly, helpful, and patient.

We caught the last day of the season and are so glad we did! Our kids loved the trolley ride and we enjoyed learning about its history. So great to have a wonderful park and playground right next to the trolley to wait.

If you're visiting in Fort Collins, I highly recommend you to take ride with this trolley. Ticket is very cheap, just 2 $ per adult. Ride is a bit short, but I would say it's still worth of visiting.

Nice ride on this historic trolley. Some good narration from the conductor.

Upper medium-good place to go to. Fun environment. Staff is pretty okay.

The Fort Collins Trolley is a fantastic experience! We rode it from the park to downtown for lunch and back, and it was such a fun way to travel. The trolley itself is a beautifully restored piece of history, and the conductor did a great job sharing its background while keeping things entertaining. The kids loved the ride, and it added a unique touch to our day. Definitely worth checking out if you’re in Fort Collins!

The trolley is always super fun

Super low cost family fun in Fort Collins. Hop on the old fashioned trolley at City Park and ride to Old Town and back or vice versa. Have a picnic at the park or explore downtown. The trolley is maintained in near mint condition. It’s a fun 20-30 minute little adventure with quite a bit of history attached. There’s the kindest crew of volunteers running things. They even made one last special run this evening for a family that just missed the trolley!!!

We live across from the Old Town library and mowing has been going on since at least 7:25AM this morning (090120). It's loud, annoying, disturbing and wakes me every time. The city needs to wait to have workers begin at a more reasonable hour, maybe 8 or 9am. It's very loud. It's unacceptable. This is not a commercial area. It's ALL residential.

413 S Bryan Av is the address of the Forestry Division. Back in May, my family was told that the trees in our right of way were to be pruned by the end of the month. 4.5 months later, Del Bernhardt's department proved to be a department of liars and borderline thieves of city resources.

Great idea to close down main streets so commuting home takes 30mins and not 10mins

I was with a couple friends hanging out at city park. We were slacklining. Which I’ve seen many people do before when “ranger Jeff” who didn’t really want to disclose his name approached us with a polite lady named molly (I think). They came to let us know what the guidelines were for slacklining in the park. She handed us a pamphlet that stated the requirements. I read them and handed back and politely agreed to the terms. I then handed the pamphlet back to her for use with the next person minimizing paper use and extra spending. When I did so “ranger Jeff” became disgruntled and very aggressive (honestly kind of scary) for no reason what’s so ever. He seemed like the “I am in a position of power to exhibit my power type” who was ill trained on how to interact with every day people (treating us as if we were criminals). Molly was nice and very informative but I feel we need to do a better job of recruiting rangers who aren’t overly aggressive to the staff in this town. Or maybe have a Better training program on how to interact with people. His aggression in my view incites hostility and is extremely disrespectful. I love our parks treat them with respect and do regular clean ups and put in a lot of time to keeping our city beautiful. I feel over the years I have been a huge contribution to our beautiful cities parks. I feel we all deserve the same respect back. I researched in the parks rules prior to see if there were any rules about slacklining and there were non on the website. I then called to speak with the city about the disconcerting situation and his aggressive behavior where I met voicemail and no response back. I’ve also since spoken with a number of other locals who stated they have had similar situation with this individual ‘’ranger Jeff’’. I wish he and his boss (Steve) I think took these situations more seriously and we’re able to treat their residents with more respect and professionalism. Sorry if this was a long rant but in my eyes over use of power and unnecessary hostility/bullying has no place in a position of power and should be dealt with in an appropriate manner to avoid situations like this in the future.

The parks appear to be in good condition. The trails are nice, kept up and in good condition. However, there are area's on the cement trails, that are cracked pretty bad. The trash, in area's along, and in, Spring Creek is very bad. Which includes plastic bottles and etc. This is not good for the habitat like ducks and geese.

I've been walking city park for 3 years and it looks wonderful this year... I am happy to have met Rusty on the boardwalk and look forward to running into her daily...My dog Sadie thinks she walks on water, so do I...Thank you for the little bit of Heaven right where I live...

Great City, Great People, Great Staff. During the Covid era: Remember to email them to schedule a time to drop by since they have the doors locked.

Amazing! Such a great place to stretch your legs and enjoy some outstanding creative art. It says it's closed Sunday, but we dropped by on a road trip stop and walked around just fine. My four kids ages 14, 11, 8 and 4 loved it. I loved it too! Make a donation to keep this place going. 💯

This was the coolest place to check out if you like odd and unusual metal art. Be careful to not miss it, it’s tucked away and behind corporate America. It is astounding that a place like this runs purely off of donations.

Quirky little roadside stop. Worth a 30 min-1 hr walk around the premises. Some neat and creative pieces of art. Not sure I'd want to be out there at night, but an interesting daytime detour.

This place is amazing and a really great place to take the family. Genius level creativity behind some of these sculptures, they're very well thought out and detailed. My wife and teenage kids lived it so it's an all around win.

Beautiful property right along the river, there is a large stone parking lot. The property is maintained very well, and there are some very beautiful sculptures. I always notice something else everytime I go. Great place for a picnic or walk if you want to get out of the house. Bring your friends, bring the family, fun for everyone

So cool, free admission but donation kindly recommended. We met the creator of this fascinating zoo. A legend for sure, he has been creating these creatures all his life! 😯

Definitely worth checking out! A great little donation based sculpture park with dozens of fun metalwork pieces. Recommend at least half an hour to check it out

Visited July 26, 2024 July 26, 2024 after walking old town Fort Collins, we went over to the Avery House, Poudre River White Water Park, and The Upper Boxelder Schoolhouse of 1905 to the CSU Trail Gardens!

A beautiful museum dedicated to the Victorian history of the Fort Collins area! Run by a dedicated staff of volunteer tour guides. Such a fun thing to do with people from out of town or even to just learn more about your own town! Plus where else can you get an hour or more tour for $6??? Families for only $20 flat? Best part, you can ride the trolley right to the front door practically.

People in the group touching stuff and leaning on the wallpaper. Got there before opening. Once in the lady couldn't check people out so we ended up not getting started until after your time. Then, even after that more people came and they let them join the tour. Then more people came and the ladies were so loud asking people where they're from you couldn't hear the tour guide. Halfway through more people join the group. It was not very organized and the group doubled to 10 which was a lot in each room. Also, no bathroom. I don't see how a business can operate without a bathroom.

A beautifully curated historic home with knowledgable and friendly docents who have a passion for sharing Fort Collins history!

Went for the candlelight Halloween tour. The guide was very informative and easy to engage with. Lovely house with so much history. Very fun event!

This is a fantastic place to get a short history lesson on Fort Collins. The house gives tours during the middle of the day that last about 45 minutes. You walk around to all the rooms in the house and get context of how they relate to Fort Collins at the time.

It's an interesting look at the past. The house has under gone 2 additions since it was built. This is pretty cool as you can connect with how people thought in the past

Booked my son's birthday party there for this morning 10am, right when they opened. When we showed up the place was trashed. There were piles of garbage bags outside the front door. Trash all over the floor when you entered. Trash cans were all overflowing. Place was disgusting. The women's bathroom trash was overflowing with bloody toilet paper and there was blood on the sink. Whomever closed the night before should be fired. The girls who opened this morning were troopers and trying to clean it and run the place. There were a number of things that were "closed" some of which seemed damaged and unsafe. The only think to keep children away and safe being yellow caution tape...

The kids had tons of fun! The staff was pretty lax, kids are able to do flips and such which is not allowed at most other trampoline parks. Price was fair. Could use some minor updates/maintenance to some of the attractions.

The place was wonderful, took my son for his birthday party. They were very accommodating, allowed us to bring in whatever outside food we wanted to which is nice now a days.

Very pricey for the two hour limit. We just had our grandson’s birthday there and it was just ok. We really never had a hosts but they claim that you do. Very short staffed and almost all of the staff are either moody or on their phones.

Great place to take kids and tire them out for an hour or two! TONS of stuff for kids to play and climb and BOUNCE on... Only downside is they charge by the hour. More than 2 hrs gets pricey...but they DO offer monthly packages for frequent 'fliers'! 😉

My experience at fly high has been excellent, especially Luke, Lexi, Adriano, Jesse, Calvin, Anna, katie have been great and made my experience the best I can imagine, they've always been caring for injuries and incredibly kind everytime I've been in. I cannot express enough gratitude and appreciation for this incredible staff. I will always recommend this incredible place to everyone. Thank you - Cody

A decent place to have your kids burn energy. They keep it comfortable inside and decently arranged. Be warned about parking here... You will not have a good time finding a parking spot. The climbing gym next door just adds to the mess. Be prepared to park in the street. As far as the birthday parties go... They are decent.

If you haven't been then you need to go...its that simple! My office is in the building so I get to enjoy the every changing exhibits. My fav is always the mask exhibit from local artists - currently on display - the photos I posed are from he exhibit - check it out!

Not ideal parking, but the event people are chill. Give me a significant difference to get reassurance from the staff, and I can park in certain spots despite the towing warnings. I was there as a volunteer for an event, so it was very nice to be able to load in without an extra level of on foot transit across a busy part of town. Kindness deserves a shoutout.

Small gallery with active community engagement visited during Dia de los mortes 💀 🎃

Nice museum with a small collection of art. Interesting rotating exhibits from regional artist. Nice gift shop and a f friendly staff. Worthwhile visit.

Check out the evenings of music that are in collaboration with some of the art exhibits. I offered an evening music and hula for the Aloha Shirt exhibit in July and it was so fun! Interesting to explore the history as well. Get involved locally and enjoy your community!

Very, very small. I dont know if it's worth the $10 admission. The subject matter was interesting, to say the least. As of the writing of this review, I definitely wouldn't recommend it to families or as a date spot due to the dark subject matter.

Stopped by on a whim thanks to a free sponsored entry. They had an extensive and beautiful masks exhibit and fundraiser. Cute museum with a gift shop and interactive area themed after the exhibit.

Fun place to walk around for a bit. Unique shops and good restaurants. It was a little rainy and cooler the afternoon I visited, so it seemed a little less busy than it might usually be. Would be a good place to have a night out with friends.

It was a really cool experience. They had dancing and music. Some cheer leaders and roping a fake bull. That was pretty fun definitely a hot spot to hang out and feel like you're part of the city.

This is the heart of Colorado. I was told that this was the importation for Disney’s Main Street where all the parades happens. It is a shopping center and full of diverse eateries and options for every taste bud. There is great outdoor seating areas and racks for backs etc. It’s nearby college area so expect to see young people, but it is not overly populated or treated poorly or run down. The area is well kept and it’s a great place to bring the kids on a hot day or for a little bit of fun.

Fort Collins was so much fun. Everyone is friendly and atmosphere was fun at Old Town square. There is so much shopping and so many restaurants, it was amazing. The only negative was that everything closes by 8:00 p.m. only the golf simulation bar and bars that don't serve food are open past 8 p.m. my advice is to get there in the afternoon or earlier.

Lovely area with really unusual shops and cafés. It felt very upmarket but at the same time friendly.

Fun place to hang out. We had dinner at Coppersmith’s which is always nice. Their Horsetooth Stout is one of my faves.

Old Town Square is the crown jewel of Fort Collins, brilliantly reimagined in 2015. It's a vibrant downtown location blending history, culture, and community charm, essential for anyone living in or visiting Northern Colorado. The square pulsates with life, offering an interactive playground for both kids and pets, a state-of-the-art performance stage for local talents, and a mesmerizing splash pad that doubles as a light show by night. The communal fireplace and Little Free Library add a cozy, intellectual touch, while rotating public art installations keep the scene fresh and inspiring. Whether you're a local or just passing through, Old Town Square is a must-visit destination that encapsulates the spirit of living in Northern Colorado. Make sure to see the holiday lights that grace the city every holiday season

Pros – We really love the Holiday Twin Drive-In! The audio for the movie is always perfectly clear through the radio, and the staff is always extremely nice. If you get there a little early, the views on one side are gorgeous—even on a yucky day. I also like how they bring back movies from a few years ago sometimes. Cons – The bathrooms are mediocre. They usually have toilet paper and soap, so that’s all that really matters. But one soap dispenser in the ladies’ room looked like it had been duct-taped five times and was still falling off, lol. Now for the actual reason I didn’t give 5 stars: you can’t customize food here. As someone with food allergies, that’s really frustrating. I would love to support the food bar, but I always have to eat beforehand. We usually only end up buying a small popcorn. I just wish they made everything plain so customers could add what they want. I asked once and was told everything is premade with all the toppings—very disappointing. If that ever changes in the future, I’d honestly rate this place a 5/5! We still absolutely love it and probably come every other weekend in the summer. I’d highly recommend it!

Best drive-in I’ve ever been to. Not sketch. Great service, local beers on tap (and cocktails & wine), amazing hatch green chile nachos, burgers and fries! Bathrooms are super clean! They also have mini golf, shaved ice shack and a merch pop-up :)

This is a great place to watch movies and hang out. A good family movie theater. Tonight when I was at the Theater, there was a special live band playing music at the concession. Great way to start the night. There are not that many drive-in any more in the country. So this place is definitely a gem with cheap tickets for two movies a night.

The Holiday Twin Drive-In is a delightful throwback to a bygone era, offering an authentic and charming cinematic experience that is increasingly rare in today’s world of multiplexes and streaming services. From the moment you pull into the spacious lot, there’s an unmistakable sense of nostalgia paired with a warm, community-oriented atmosphere. This venue successfully balances the vintage charm of classic drive-in theaters with modern conveniences, creating a unique outing for families, couples, and film enthusiasts alike. The double-screen setup is well-managed, allowing for a diverse selection of movies to be shown simultaneously, catering to varied tastes and age groups. Picture quality on both screens is surprisingly crisp for an outdoor venue, with sound delivered efficiently through well-maintained speaker systems or via FM radio broadcast directly to your car. This flexibility enhances the viewing experience, letting guests tailor their audio to personal preference without sacrificing clarity. Concessions at the Holiday Twin Drive-In deserve special mention, as they offer a nostalgic menu that goes beyond the typical popcorn and soda. The staff is friendly and efficient, serving fresh, reasonably priced snacks that add to the overall enjoyment of the evening. While there’s room to expand the variety of offerings, the current selection is satisfying and well-prepared, making it easy to settle in for the show with all the classic treats. One area for potential improvement is the facility’s infrastructure, which, while well-kept, could benefit from occasional updates to parking lot lighting and restroom amenities. These enhancements would further elevate comfort and safety without detracting from the authentic drive-in feel that makes the Holiday Twin so special. Nonetheless, the management’s evident dedication to upkeep ensures that the experience remains pleasant and accessible. In summary, the Holiday Twin Drive-In offers a wonderful blend of nostalgia, entertainment, and community spirit that stands out as a must-visit destination. It’s a refreshing alternative to traditional movie theaters, perfect for anyone seeking a memorable night under the stars with quality films and a welcoming environment. I highly recommend it to anyone looking to relive the magic of the classic American drive-in or simply enjoy a unique and enjoyable movie-going experience.

This drive inn was an awesome experience for me and the kid's. The bathrooms were maintained and clean which was very nice. And the parking even tho we were in the very back you could still see rhe screen very nice and clear. Awesome place!

The better of the Colorado Drive Ins. The line getting in can be nuts but just like concerts or any venues, expected this. The screen projection was good, concession stand was fairly clean and they even have drinks. Good, nostalgic experience

Absolutely worth every penny to come here and enjoy two movies back to back! The staff is phenomenal and the concessions are delicious! Added bonus for tasty beers and fun cocktails! I recently lost my wallet here and to my absolute amazement it was found! Long story short, I was able to pick up my wallet, thanks to excellent communication with the wonderful staff! You guys LITERALLY are rockstars!! Thank you so so much!

We absolutely love The Lyric in Fort Collins. It’s such a fun, eclectic space—it seriously feels like an adult jungle gym. You can watch a movie from a school bus, hang out on the lawn, catch a sound bath with Cosmic Heart Arts, or wander through an art show. They’ve always got something cool going on—movies, community events, live music—and the whole place just has great energy. The food is pretty solid, too, which makes it even easier to spend hours there. It’s hands-down one of the most creative and unique spots in town.

If one ever has the opportunity to attend a live performance by Range Ensemble at a Candlight event, I highly recommend it. We have attended two of these events and have enjoyed both. The first was a performance of classical music by Vivaldi, which was quite moving. The second was their performace of music by Adele which was quite remarkable and equally enjoyable.

Unique, beautiful, and fun! Love all the art displays and the theater itself is comfy with tons of food options. It only has 3 showing rooms but each one is so beautifully designed and themed. Definitely recommend it!

What a cool place! We coordinated a wedding here and it was so much fun. The staff was very kind and hard working. I loved the wild aesthetic and the magic when the sun went down.

This place is amazing. Comfortable theatres, free water, good food, great decorations. Perfect for date night. As a trans person their bathrooms also feel very safe and comfortable to use. Genuinely the most comfortable I've felt using a public bathroom in a while. Thanks for maintaining such an inclusive, creative, kind, and fun space. Truly the gem of Fort Collins.

What a cool spot! We came here for a comedy show and had a great time. Cocktails are sugary but was expected.

Amazing atmosphere, interesting pizza. The theaters are small and cozy, but the seats don’t have the tallest headrests so you can’t lean back that much. The sound quality is awesome and the seating allowed me to see over peoples heads which is a win in my book! Definitely coming back sometime.

Library Park is a beautifully thought-out spot that balances play, nature, learning, and history—perfect for a chilled and teenagers yet engaging family outing in Old Town Fort Collins.

Visited July 26, 2024 The Upper Boxelder Schoolhouse Library Park and original cabins in Fort Collins.

This park located adjacent to the Old Town Library, so it's the perfect place for book lovers, as there are many benches and places to read. The only issue is that there isn't any covered spots (in the event of rain).

I feel it's set more for older kids in order to get to the big slide u gotta have them climb a latter with about 6 steps so u definitely gotta be involved its not a park you can let ur babys go and just run off some energy if ur like me and dont want your kids to fall it gives me anxiety when ever we go there but the kids like it but definitely a neat little park

It is a lovely, welcoming place, inside and out.

This is a fun and very clean park. The play structure is small. They have a tots side and a big kid side. My daughter was really only interested in the big kid side

I really badly want to rate it higher, but there seems to be an influx of homeless and sketchy people. I was happy that my children weren't with me this time. Precious trips were much nicer and would have earned a higher rating.

What an amazing park! There is so much to do here. There are open fields to do anything you like, baseball fields, disc golf, tennis courts, a very nice large kids, playground, and facilities to take care of all those activities. You can also find water fountains and bathrooms while you're here. Everything is very well maintained and clean. Grass has been mowed and facilities has been cleaned and taken care of. This is a popular place on a Saturday morning. I won't say it's so busy that you can't enjoy it, but it definitely has the community support! So glad to have found this park.

This is a great park, lots of activities for all ages. No dog park though… The park is tax payer funded, the ball parks are tax payer funded, the police are tax payer funded AND the police dogs are tax payer funded… yet WE the taxpayer can’t let our dogs run free? Just the police dogs; that we pay for… 🤯🤯🤯

A skatepark, Frisbee golf, and tennis! Great place to hang with the family. My niece and nephew had fun playing at the park. We met a nice family and had a delightful conversation.

Very nice park that is heavily used by a wide variety of users. Watch for flying discs... nice disc golf course- the discgolfistas I talked to were all friendly and cautious of other users

Expansive, beautiful park with many amenities including: walking paths, play structures, ball fields, frisbee golf, and horseshoes! Plus a nature path with lush folage and charming creek. Lovely large park.

love this place very clean there's a lot to do connect to close to the walking paths you can get to many different trails including spring Creek and Poudre trails .

Kids had a great time. Older kids were helping younger kids etc. There is also places for younger beginners and older/more experienced

Costs $10 to park here. Lots of mountain bikers are on these trails. There is a bathroom in the parking lot. The view of the reservoir is nice from the top, but you can walk down to the water from here, too. This is a dog friendly hike but make sure to bring lots of water and have ways to cool your dog off because there is absolutely no shade. Our pup was able to cook off in the reservoir for a quick minute before we headed back up the hill. The best view here comes at sunrise and sunset.

Love going here super early to avoid crowds

This is one of our favorite places to visit. Just 5 minutes outside of Fort Collins, it offers top-notch sunset views, hiking, and picnicking. Locals can be found there on weeknights, just enjoying the view and spectacular Colorado sunsets. An Instagram gold mine!!

Hiked to this park via Maxwell natural area on the foothills trail. Really good hike and a challenging trail for mountain bikes. The park has a vault toilet and a parking lot with a view of Horsetooth reservoir on one side and all of Fort Collins on the other side. Has picnic tables and grills and a trail that goes down to the water.

What a wonderland for climbers! There’s boulders and walls galore here with well over 50 problems to solve from v0 to v10. Even if your not a climber, there’s massive rocks to sit upon and have a picnic right before the sun sets over Horsetooth reservoir. From March to November this place is crawling with kids of all ages climbing and or just walking around enjoying the weather. Early morning and late nights with a headlamp, peaceful bouldering.

Hiking by the water was so much fun! Groups were repairing part of the trail as we were walking, but it was never a problem. The trail does get narrow at some points, but overall it was great!

Just as cool as it was 35 years ago

We’ve been to this place multiple times, and every time we go it’s fabulous. The people who work there are so friendly and helpful! We drive close to two hours north just to rent boats from them :)

While it was a nice reservoir and the convenience of being able to rent water equipment was nice, it wasn't the best experience. Kayaks are old and the seats are worn so bad that they might as well not even have them. One of us was given a kid size paddle but we didn't notice until we were already out. No instruction or advice before pushing us out on the water other than stay close to shore. When we called the day before, there was no mention of the $10 free to get into the reservoir and park for the day so be prepared to pay extra if you don't have a pass.

The best thing about the spot, are the views. You can easily spend an entire day on the water and not get bored. The downfall about this spot? They do not do proper maintenance on their paddle board rentals. I rented twice this year and won't ever do so again. Plugs are missing in the paddle boards, causing them to take in water. Instead of getting new plugs, they patch with cheap tape that falls off. After a terrible time on the water, having to swim the board to the rocks, carry the water heavy board up those rocks, and flipping it to drain it three times, I wouldn't recommend anybody to rent from here. I took a month to write this so I could really think my experience over. You're paying 53$ every two hours and they won't use that money to buy better stuff or at least repair their sinking boards correctly. That's bad business. I told the staff about it, both outside and inside at the counter, they did nothing past, "oh, we didn't know". A customer comes in to tell you that their experience was terrible because of the companies lack of maintenance and that's all they had to say?! No partial refund, no apologies. Unbelievable, but this is my story.

I took my husband here to go paddle boarding for his birthday and it was amazing! The staff were all super friendly and helpful. They were happy to answer any questions we have plus even hold our keys while we are out on the boards. The boards were great and easy to use plus were super cheap! The reservoir itself is very beautiful and has great views! We will definitely be coming back here again!

WARNING !!! Worst experience I’ve ever had Me and my friends booked 2 jet skis and paid before we got to this place. Once we got there the person in the front desk said we can rent only if we have an U.S driver license which is fine. Then I asked to cancel the second jet ski and rent only one under my name with the U.S driver license. I asked them when am I gonna get the refund and the owner said it’s gonna take a few days. Acceptable. I called them after a week of waiting just to check the status of my refund and they wasn’t nice at all and just gave me a dry answers in order to finish the phone call fast. I called them again today after 15 days, asked again to check what’s the status of my refund and said I never got anything back and all what the woman over the phone told me is hold on and just put me on hold without speaking to me. I waited for 10 mins on the phone and never heard back from her. I paid 360$ before tax They need to send me back 180$ I don’t think I’m gonna get it back, this is not a thing who gonna make me broke. Here’s all the proofs. Please stay away from this place and go to other place that know how to treat their clients well.

We had a family reunion on a pontoon boat with a slide and had a blast. The grandkids loved it. So did their parents. So did the grandparents. The helpful staff did a great job getting us squared away to go and helping us dock upon our return. It was a memorable day for my family on Horsetooth Lake.

I rented a runabout boat for 4 hrs. 530.00 for 4 hours. Well worth it. We checked out all of Horsetooth reservoir. Swam fished, tubed. Great day! Thanks Inlet Bay!

It is a decent little whitewater park. When water is over 600 cfs it get pretty fun. Only 2 waves/features. The second wave is better for surfing. There are some homeless around but they are usually friendly, just say hello. There is a guy named Jedi Master Nick and he is an absolute legend!!

Great swimming spot to escape summer heat. Two deeper spots where you can jump in off boulders. Shalow areas for smaller kids.

Sheepy weepy man. Not the best best waves this side of the Mississippi but I mean, chyeah, it’s chill, me and the fellas are always having a hoot down at the PR White whata park. I’d compare it to the song “you spin me right round baby” or whatever it’s called. Good song, love listening to it, but I mean there’s better songs out there. Love my guy Jedi master nick though. That guys sick.

July 26, 2024 July 26, 2024 after walking old town Fort Collins, we went over to the Avery House, Poudre River White Water Park, and The Upper Boxelder Schoolhouse of 1905 to the CSU Trail Gardens!

My grandson got hit by a bicyclist under the bridge on the path. It is narrow and dark walk with extreme caution!

Awesome spot. Had a blast with my pals. It was a little cloudy but that didn’t stop us from having a ball. Water was nice there were a lot of friendly people. We also played some hacky sack in the grass! Very kid friendly, highly recommend.

Poudre River Whitewater Park is a nice clean park for walking, sitting, and relaxing. Make sure to stop by here when you go to New Belgium brewery. It has plenty of seating, sidewalks for walking, bike trails, a beautiful bridge over the river, and pretty quiet considering it's location. Enjoy!

The water is way too cold for little ones. Moved to the area from Durango, and this was our first time checking out the indoor neighborhood pool. What a stark contrast between this facility and the City Park pool. With all the taxes the city takes in, why hasn't this building been demolished and an updated modern pool built in its place? One extra star for the lovely receptionist lady up front and helpful lifeguard.

Water was barely luke warm in pool and hot tub.The lifeguards didnt noticed I got hurt and walked by us to flirt with an older woman. My fiance got a nice lady to help out and we felt bad but she made a weird remark. "Its not my problem" okay? I definitely dont recommend bringing your kids as they literally dont care here! If they break something, its literally just 'paperwork they dont want to do'. They are NOT watching you or your kids!

It's a fine place but the hot tub was not hot enough and the hours are just all over the place! Last time I went the staff gave me and my husband a hard time! Not really sure what was going on that day but we weren't allowed to swim in the deep end! They made us stay in a corner of the kids section! We probably stayed 10 to 15 minutes and left!

Great place to have your little one learn to swim. My daughter has been through multiple skill level classes as a 3 and 4 year old. We have also been for a birthday party and had a great time. They have party rooms for non-swim birthday activities. FYI - if you are going to watch your kid, be sure to dress light. It is HOT and HUMID in the pool area!

Staff and people were nice. Pool is too cold for an indoor pool and overall the floors were very dirty and so was the hot tub.

Me and my friend We’re in the pool with clothes on and a lady kicked us out because we had Clifford clothes on even though there’s other people with clothes on and she didn’t kick them out

I've never really had a problem here, until I just really needed a shower. It feels like an emergency, but I simply can't afford to pay six dollars any time I just need to get clean. I had one very nice staff lady who allowed it, then my entire opinion changed when Rita even mislead me by starting of saying that it was okay, then ending the conversation with the for money again thing. I've spent several dollars here and just really needed the shower. We'll thanks anyway.

I'm moving out of state soon and wanted to buy some things to remind me of the years I lived in Colorado, so I drove up to Nature's Own from Broomfield to see what they had in stock (this is after I went to the Nederland store last weekend and bought a bunch of things too). Simply put, I cannot recommend Nature's Own enough. Not only do they have exceptionally high quality specimens, but the employees at all of their stores are so friendly and knowledgeable. One of the reasons I enjoy going here so much is because I always learn something new. At the FoCo store, I had the pleasure of meeting Aaron, who could not have been nicer. I had a bunch of questions and was looking to buy meteorites, fossils, and minerals...and he was happy to teach me about the history, chemical composition, and features of all of them. He quickly learned the kinds of things I was interested in buying and made excellent recommendations. Highly, highly recommend stopping at Nature's Own. Even if you don't buy anything, it's still just a super cool store to check out as they have a ton of museum quality pieces.

I believe they absolutely have everything. Part of it even looks like a museum. It is done so well. There is some thing for everyone from light switch covers and plates to big pieces to jewelry to pocket stones that you can make into something all your own. Not only did it have what it was but descriptions locations sometimes absolutely phenomenal place. I spent so long in here going through everything. It was so beautiful.

We had an absolute blast in this store! We were visiting family in town and came into the store to look around. I did not get their names, but the two wonderful employees working were amazing. My son is 9 and is incredibly interested in fossils and the coinciding prehistoric periods. Both employees were so engaged with him! Helped him look for fossils he might like, talked about dinosaurs and all kinds of things. As we left he gave an enthusiastic goodbye and they returned the sentiment. Adding a “come back, please!” They truly made my son’s whole experience and his day as a whole. He walked out of there with two incredible pieces and he cannot stop looking at them.

Kelly and Aaron are amazing! They helped me with an amazing gift for a wedding. They are so kind and went above and beyond to help me and coordinate everything to ensure I could get this gift in time for a wedding . In a world where customer service is a lost art, here at nature's own they are kind and compassionate and very silled in what they do. It was refreshing to know that amazing customer service still exists!

This store is amazing. There are different clusters of stones for different prices. They have enough traffic in the location to stock some of the larger and pricier stones you don't often see much of at smaller shops. They have tumbled, combination, marbles, raw...and they also have a section for local stones. I enjoyed some of the art they also showcased from local artists.

Stopped in on our way through and found all sorts of cool rocks, fossils, minerals, crystals and gems. A cool Triceratops skull was in the window along with tons of cool fossils. Inside was a treasure trove of items made from stone, crystal beads and gems. Fairly affordable pendants and DIY beads for you to make your own jewelry. Lots of cool things to see and worth stopping in.

I absolutely love getting my crystals and fossils from this shop! So many kinds of crystals to choose from. Everywhere else seems to want to charge me an arm and a leg for a small rose quartz crystal. So thank you for selling them at a reasonable price! That’s why I always come back for more. ✨🔮

This is a very nice area to be with family & friends. You can rent paddle boards and boats too. Though it's recommend that you reserve a boat with time in advance. The only reason I'm giving it a 4 star rating is because the floor is quite rocky. You have to be careful where you step to not get hurt. An alternative would be to wear sandals that won't come off. Other than this it's a beautiful area. I would recommend it!

Nice place to have an evening steak out. Awesome view of the mountains and the Horsetooth Reservoir. Good spots to swim fish and BBQ.

Nice place to stop, but extremely crowded and kind of dirty. Lots of trash on the ground. Would be awesome if there were more swimming areas around so people could spread out. They allow dogs so that is definitely a perk!

Great beautiful nature and lake lovely mountains.

This place is amazing

Nice place to go camping

Very beautiful and big space too have fun

The Fort Collins Bike Co-Op is awesome! I went in to have my bike looked at, but ended up donating it and purchasing a new bike. Everyone who helped me was so kind and helpful. Jerry was incredibly friendly, great to talk to, and knowledgeable. Justin was also very warm and helpful while assessing my original bike! Diehl (?) and Michael also helped me pick out a bike and it was wonderful working with them too. I would highly recommend the Co-Op and will definitely return for a Guided Mechanic service or if I need any additional parts or equipment! There are tons of bikes to look at and many parts available as well. Thank you so much!

The people who work here are so kind and knowledgeable . Justin took the time today to let my daughter help in fixing her “big girl” bike. It absolutely made her day, and the bike is now much safer. I am so glad this gem of a place exists!

I fully expected to walk in and buy a bike and accessories I needed, but ended up leaving frustrated. I had been looking forward coming here all week. Hate to say it, because it’s clear this shop is loved by many, but my experience was a bit frustrating. This was my first time visiting, and the shop was very busy and crowded - I felt like I was in the way more than anything. There's a lot going on in a very small space. There actually wasn't even a place to park so I had to walk from up the street. I don’t know much about bikes and had been told this was a great place to go to learn, but I struggled to find any help. There were tons of as-is bikes with no clear information, and no one stopped to ask if I needed assistance. I wandered around feeling lost and eventually left without buying anything. Maybe this place is perfect if you already know what you're doing, but for a beginner, it was pretty overwhelming. I’d love to give it another shot if the staff were more available or if there were more signage or guidance for people new to biking. Overall a large waste of time driving up here from south Fort Collins.

You are no longer by definition a "CO-OP". You've stopped allowing people to utilize trash that's going to be thrown away and/or recycled "which we all know recycling is a scam anyway" in order to fix our bicycles because we have no way of paying for any parts. So in all no I do not consider this a CoOP more of corporate interest simply because I can see that it's decided to head in that direction. It going to turn into Recycled cycles which is another SCAM! TRASH. Being sold at more than three times the value. Even though both the CoOp and Recycled Cycles both sell over thousand dollar bikes quite OFTEN!

Perhaps one of the coolest experiences I’ve ever had at a bike shop!! So both Christie and Kado took care of us right off. They set us up with a bike station where we could make our own repairs and gave us a really great value in a handlebar that we could use to fix one of our bikes at our super low cost. Can’t say enough good things about the place. Do yourself a favor and come here!

I recently inquired with the Co-op about getting help with my bike U-lock that is broken. The older man on the phone was extremely rude and condescending. I was rude back and hung up. Without my knowledge, the man afterwards contacted Fort Collins police department and reported me. Not sure what the objective was, since I did not break any law, but I was contacted by the Fort Collins police about the incident. Will not be giving any donations or interactions with this organization thus forward!

Very cool place. Walked out with a cool bike that they helped fix up same day for <$200. While I didn’t partake in this option, I also thought it was awesome that you could work on your bike together with a professional if you wanted to. Also some space to just work on your bike on your own. Staff were attentive, passionate, and knowledgeable.

Small splash pad with a good amount of shade and seating. Off from the road a little. We thought it was bigger but the kids had a great time anyway.

great spot to sit and chill out and people watch for a while walking in the middle of old town. There are water geyser style fountains where you can often see kids and dogs having the time of their life!

Great local hangout for brown bag lunch, people watching, sipping coffee, hearing a random pianist play one of the Pianos About Town, watching free concerts, gathering in November for the City holiday lighting ceremony. I wish the City would list performers upcoming for the annual Tuesday noon summer concerts.

Tuba Christmas, and what a ball! Can't wait 'til next year!

It's a good landmark to meet up with someone, and it's relaxing when the water is going. Only reason for lower rating is that the street next to it is very loud and busy all the time.

Kids love the water spouts. There's a piano. Summer concert series for the children. Great spot to relax with the family.

Nice view and safe parking. I like to wax my Bronco before a drive from this location. Security that patrols but does not bother you.

My son loves this playground.They have lots of places to walk, play basketball and good playground equipment. There's also a bathroom.

Park kinda on the outskirts of town. We were the only ones here. It was nice and relaxing. I love playgrounds where you can climb on timbers and ropes. The zip line is amazing. I, the parent, even sat in it and went down. Super fun! The climbing rope teepee spins around. The bathrooms are nice and well kept. There is a shade depot and off street parking. Nice open field and a basketball court. There are drinking fountains.

Another great Fort Collins Park! Sugar Beet Park is different from any other. They have really cool climbing equipment for the kids, and of course, the classic swing and slides. It also has a great open space that is very level and open for picnics, family activities, and a great for dogs as well. It is surrounded by a sidewalk for people to walk or bike around. Just a great park!

This is our great little neighborhood park. Wonderful playground for little kids and a sweet walkway around the perimeter. Recently, the wildflowers have come out in full force. While visiting and walking your dog, look into the history of this park and the founders of this particular area of Ft Collins.

Cute little park. Has a zip line, and all ages playground.y 3 year old twins had a blast until the sun came out.

Such a cute park! Went for a kiddos birthday party, and it was perfect!

Beautiful small park. Interesting things for kids to play on. Bathrooms are new and modern and clean. Covered beautiful picnic tables are unique.

I love this place. It is great for finding unique gifts for friends and special occasions. All the artists are so talented.

Awesome selection of local artists, great pottery and glasswork with ridiculously good customer service. If you want to buy a one of a kind gift for anyone this IS the place

This is one of my favorite shops to bring visiting out of town guests. And it’s one of my favorite places to shop for handmade gifts. I love that there are a variety of artists and styles included in the store and that within each artists’ selection, there is often a wide variety of price points. It is amazing to be able to support local artists without going over your personal budget. I love being able to feature local art on buttons, magnets, stickers, bookmarks, etc. that I use and see every day. The artisans who work the checkout are always friendly and helpful. I was pushing a small stroller on my last visit and I was nervous we would be asked to fold it up, but everyone was very accommodating.

Nice variety of artists. Gallery has a lot of items in it with various price points--well worth a walk through to find that unique gift for someone or yourself. Actually went back a second time to purchase additional items during my time in the area. Prices are very reasonable for handmade items.

Very helpful staff. Eclectic, unique, local artist creations. Perfect place for soecial gifts or something for yourself.

Loved the friendly and skilled artisans in this artisan owned & run shop! You will find all sorts of interesting hand made artwork, home items, and jewelry at varying price points to fit almost any budget!

I spent a full day in Fort Collins exploring the area and the shops. Trimble was my favorite artisan store - lovely! Each artist had their own dedicated section. The artistic mediums ranged from paper, to pottery, glass, and wood. I purchased a beautiful round end grain cutting board. It's a great functional travel momento that I'm looking forward to using.

My family and I came down from Cheyenne to play at this park and we are not disappointed! It's a huge Park with a splash pad. My kids get bored easily and this park kept them entertained! I recommend this park to people with very energetic children.

This place is great! Big playground with lots of interactive areas, My daughter loved the splash pad.

This is an amazing playground with so many places to climb into and get on with nooks and unique devices. The ground is cushioned and rubbery. And this is just one activity area in a big beautiful park!

Very nice park with playgrounds. Pretty hot and sunny this summer but that is where the splash pad comes in! Good size splash pad, 2 playgrounds, one for younger kids and the other for 5-12. Slides, a cave, a sand pit with excavators, walking trails and a dog park. I highly recommend a hat, sunscreen and long sleeve swimsuits in the summer!

Loved this playground! Great for littles and older kiddos. There is a sand area and water table area too! My toddlers have a pretty quick attention span and we were able to be at this park for 2 hours

Beautiful park with stuff for a variety of ages. Playgrounds are 2-5 years old and another 5-12 years old.

i grew up in colorado and my grandma would take me here often. i met little kids that became my best friends ( for about an hour). i celebrated my grandpas 57th birthday here. i played in the splash pad, the big slide, and just about everything else. this park is large, fun, and everything a kid deserves to play in. plus the view of horse tooth! amazing. the memories make this place so special to me. bring your kids here, make it a place to remember.

We stopped in after finding on a google search. It is 2 miles from the KOA campground we’re staying at. I LOVE the setup. It appeared they were out of the heirlooms I was a hoping for when a gentleman came out and asked what we needed. He came back with warm just off the vine beauties.we also purchase a loaf of sourdough. Delicious!!!!!! Can’t wait for our next trip here.

Love this local farm! Their dog Raisin is the sweetest. Ben and Caroline are amazing and are so helpful in this community! Love everything about their farm stand that they host Friday nights and what they grow and are raising. Thank you for providing us with local produce, meat, eggs, and amazing Mediterranean dishes!!!

I'm having fun volunteering, and buying wonderful produce... and egg's.

Gotta love a home spun farm stand, and this one is at the top with the best of 'em. The stand is clean, we'll stocked and super convenient to use. You can pay with cash or card, and they have products from a local one man dairy as well.

I love this farm! They grow THE BEST greens in town. Make sure to support wherever you see them around town and stop in at their farm stand. It’s the best!

Lovely selection of locally grown goods. Great little staff. And the sweetest Friday farmers' market. We're so blessed to have them so nearby! 💓

Ben is a diligent grower, as hard working as they come. He has a strong focus on nutrient density and quality. It is refreshing to meet farmers like Ben that go the extra mile and put their heart and soul into the food they grow!

Dixon has some very unique features! To start they do have two restrooms on sight and a amazing boat launch system. You just guide your kayak down and enjoy a beautiful day on the water. The lake itself is said to be about 44 acres And it was last stocked per Colorado in 2013 with bluegill, channel catfish, black crappie and hybrid grass carp. Fishing picks up in may. Overall the vegetation in the lake has grown a fair amount. Hard to even find deep areas to fish. So be warned. Water was perfect and could see everything. Parking was very open and easy. Bathrooms were clean. Overall a amazing place to start and practice kayaking! Stay safe and enjoy.

Not as dramatic as a local favorite hike like Horsetooth Rock but wonderful nonetheless. Definitely a gentler hike, you will probably see some wildlife.

I enjoy taking my dogs here...a little easy exercise for all of us. It's about 2 miles (?) around the reservoir with a pretty flat and easy trail. Little shade so be prepared. Lots of water fowl. Can I paddle board here?

A great place to hike, ride, take photos. Plenty of parking. Open space and trees. Great spring and fall colors.

I like walking my dogs around Dixon Reservoir. I generally avoid it during the middle of summer because of mosquitos and heat, but the rest of the year, it is a great place to walk. You can also see all the fun prarie dog communities, which act as a beneficial addition to the prairie, including feeding the hawks, coyotes, and other wildlife in the area.

Lovely area for easy hike with the dog.

Great place for beginner kayaking. Path from parking to launch is steep, but the provided steps and kayak guide-ramp help a lot. Mucky bottom and limited space could make things chaotic if busy, but we were there on a beautiful Sunday afternoon and only one other pair of kayaks were on the reservoir.

We had a distressed great horned Owl in our backyard Firestone Co. They have been living in a cottonwood tree in the neighborhood park. When I called they talked me through what to look for and when I told them that the baby owls eyes where swollen shut and it was not screeching when I got close she new something was wrong. She talked me through what I needed to do to get owl to them. I new that owl was in bad shape when it did not fight me at all. Then a wonderful volunteer met me half way to pick up owl. This morning when I called about owl they let me know it had Tirchononas gallinae( parasite) that affects raptors. The owl had to be youthinized. It was sad but completely understand. This is a wonderful organization and I am so glad to have them in our area.

Fantastic program! Open house was fantastic. Highly recommend attending if you get a chance. Fascinating!

The Raptor Rescue in Ft Collins is an amazing jewel both for raptors and the community! The educational programs they provide, the rehabilitation of injured raptors, and the forever home of raptors that can’t survive on their own is a a special place run by staff & volunteers who give selflessly to help keep these magnificent creatures from extinction! Such a gift!

This is a terrific, dedicated, and very important non-profit organization in Fort Collins. Lots of opportunities to volunteer, to donate, to assist in the protection and rehabilitation of raptors. You can get up close and personal with raptors via periodic open houses. If you care about protecting key species in the food chain, you will be enthralled by the work of this organization and you just might make a good volunteer for educational outreach! Check them out!

Called Rocky Mountain Raptor on a Saturday afternoon regarding an injured hawk,sent pictures of the bird. They came right out, caught bird in minutes. I can check on birds condition next week. Was amazing to watch how quick they were able to capture bird. Great program, Recommend supporting them, I will.

We visited the booth at Art in the Park. Birds are fascinating so we stopped to hear about them.

Best Rat In The World Came From Here. Max the awesome Rat!

Dr. Nola is incredible. Not only has she taken great care of my health, but also she is lovely to speak during my appointment. She has a rare combination of expertise, direct advice and really takes her time to understand what you the individual needs. HIGHLY recommend.

Excellent care, attention and dedication to our large family's individual health care needs. I don't want to post personal medical information, so please allow me to say, for long term health, disease intervention and crisis care we have been taken care for more than ten years by Dr. MacDonald's dedication to true recovery and quality of life. She is the best advocate as a physician one could ever have!

Dr Nola quickly and accurately figured out my daughter has a rare disease that no one else understood. And has successfully managed a difficult condition. We drive from Boulder to see her. She is amazing. Can not recommend her enough!

I just called and the woman who answered the phone was extremely rude. She basically told me that the practice is full and asked what insurance I had. She told me that they practice holistic medicine and I'd be better off continuing my search for a doctor then hung up on me.

An amazing doctor who has helped me since i was 14. So thankful i found her. Hypothyroid, and digestive issues she has saved me.

This individual has multiple disciplinary actions against her by the state of Colorado Medical Board.

Excellent Doctor. Great healthcare. Finally someone who listened and helped me.

Someone had used the end of the slide for a bathroom and we realized that too late!!! changed our whole day and all of our plans...

A nice walk in the park

First time eating there. Young lady on the phone was super nice and pizza was yummy

A beautiful walk. We took one of the longer routes (a little over 3 miles) and it took us a few hours. The path is not easy, but is considered moderately strenuous. The views are incredible and you can meet a lot of nice people on the paths. The falls were a huge disappointment because there was not a drop of water coming down the falls, but it is easy to imagine how nice and refreshing it would be. If you are the kind of person who overheats from exertion, I would not do this trail with temps that exceed 80F in the valley, because the tight canyon easily jumps 10-15F degrees. There is no water or bathrooms along the path, but we did find plenty of parking and bathrooms at the parking area which costs about $10 per carload. There are snakes and wild animals present in the area, but we didn't see any. We did see plenty of animal scat though and prints. In colder weather, or at times very early or very late in the evening, I am not sure I would want to walk this trail on my own due to the presence of animals. Highly recommend plenty of water, a toilet stop before taking the hike that has about 1,200+ foot elevation change over the entire walk, and maybe a whistle to gain the attention of somebody should you fall. There are some potential dangers like slick rocks or loose gravel areas that could provide a twisted ankle, so being able to signal help should the need arise would be greatly beneficial.

Horsetooth Falls was very faint due to the lack of rain (10/18/25) but Horsetooth Rock did not disappoint. Trail accepts payments via smart phone but we had no service in the lot so we paid with cash.

Great area with scenic trails. Well marked and good flow, with views of horsetooth and into front range. Parking can get full on weekend mornings, be sure to head in early

Great hike full of different terrain, awesome views, foliage, and wildlife ! We had ages 12 to 69 in our group and made it through just fine! Bring plenty of water.

My first time ever hiking. I went back for a 2nd day. Beautiful sights, different hikes of different difficulties, a little bit crowded, but not too bad. I met some friends along the way. The drive up and around the park is beautiful.

Amazing park, costs $10 for a day pass or you need an annual Larimer County Park Pass. A Colorado State Park Pass will not work. The hikes are very steep and it gets hot in the summer, make sure to bring lots of water. It is a great place for the family.

I enjoyed it. Great exercise, beautiful views, clean trails, no snakes or bears.

Aloha; what a beautiful garden. Great little space showcases the beauty of the state. Thank you CSU students for the gift. Some on down and get a coffee before you come , sit and just relax by the nature and beauty of Colorado

The garden is public and it covers nearly three acres showcasing over 1,000 different annual bedding plant cultivars. If you are planning to visit; bring: A camera, picnic, and an open mind and enjoy.

Im not much of a "flower" guy, but this park is pretty cool!

Absolutely wonderful trial gardens. CSU students always create a fantastic experience. It's great to visit and shut it the world for a while.

Lovely place to visit beautiful flowers Photography, painting and relaxing all perfect activities

Absolutely gorgeous display of flowers. All types of flowers await your senses when you go check out this short walk. Beautiful colors and wonderful smells. You can bring your furry friend but you have to make sure they dont trample the beautiful displays. There is plenty of room all over to sit at the benches or somewhere on the grassy area. A lot of people there with their families having a nice little picnic on the day we were there. We saw lots of bees as well. If you missed the showing this year, don't miss out next year!

This garden is like a hidden gem in the city. It's is a must visit for flower lovers or people who enjoy the garden amidst of all the city highlights. You get the opportunity to see your favorite flowers along with all the new tests that are being run on different varieties. This garden is kind of with in the CSU campus so this gives you a chance to actually see what a college town means with all the different departments of CSU nearby. Funny things is you get to seee friendly squirrels near the park. Best time to visit would be near around sunset for best colors.

Great park. Usually not too busy. Tuesdays during the summer time you can enjoy all the food trucks your heart desires.

This park offers plenty of space for family and friends to have a picnic or bring their pets. The open grass areas are perfect for a relaxing evening. The 4th of July fireworks are some of the best I've seen. There are a few unique fireworks, and with the reflection of the lake, it's just stunning. The show time runs for about 15 minutes. However, the only downside was how crowded it was. There was almost no parking and you might have to park up to a mile away. About an hour before the show, there were already thousands of people and it was hard to find a spot, so I recommend getting there early.

Such a gorgeous park! From the moment I arrived, I was struck by how beautifully landscaped everything was. The grass honestly felt like a dream to lay on—it was soft, lush, and surprisingly comfortable, perfect for relaxing under the sun. Around the lake, I was greeted by playful squirrels and calm ducks, which gave the whole place an inviting and natural charm. There’s even a water park area that was open for public use, and on a warm sunny day it looked like the perfect way for families and kids to cool off and enjoy themselves. As I walked, I noticed a group of people quietly gathering near a couple playing guitars. Out of curiosity, I asked someone what was going on, and he explained it was a Pokémon Go event! That explained the crowd’s friendly and respectful vibe. Scattered picnic tables and benches made it easy to pause and take everything in, and the playground—even featuring a historical cannon—was a unique touch. Overall, this park offers relaxation, entertainment, and a sense of community. I will definitely be back to experience it again, because it beat any park in Houston, where I live, that I've been to.

Very big! There is a playground, a couple of lakes to go fishing, tennis court, picnic tables, & grills! I loved it- I am.go I ng to visit again b4 I travel back to New Mexico

Was just visiting for a wedding, this is a beautiful park and Tico Club is really nice for small venues.

The FoCo food truck rally is an awesome community event! The fact that they allow local vendors shows true community support!

Lovely place, very nice 4th of July celebration. Very clean and safe. Well done, Fort Collins community.
