Very good, lots of shopping stores, verity of options, many places to dine, fancy to casual. Depending on store, can be a little expensive. Very roomy, not to packed, very happy relaxing mature atmosphere. Children friendly, senior friendly, accessible for people(s) with disabilities.

I just wish mall culture wasn’t dead… such great potential but nobody there and really limited stores. The highlight is definitely Cinemark and the surrounding shopping, but inside the mall is empty and there’s an entire wing of the mall with only two stores. Really sucks that it’s like that now, it was so fun when it opened. Surrounding area is great though.
Logan C — Google review
Cinemark is my all time favorite theater. Comfortable seats, cheap tickets and they haven't sold out. Thanks guys! 💖
Luna — Google review
One of my favorite places to visit for shopping, dining, and relaxing. The mall has a clean, modern, and welcoming atmosphere with a wide variety of shops, from fashion and beauty to home goods and specialty stores. There are also several restaurants and cafés offering great food options, whether you’re stopping for coffee, enjoying a casual lunch, or having dinner with friends. One of the highlights of Foothills Mall is the outdoor area, which features comfortable seating and a large fireplace that creates a cozy and relaxing space to hang out, especially during cooler evenings. The mall also includes a movie theater, making it a fun spot for a full day of shopping, dining, and entertainment all in one place. During the winter months, they host a farmers market every Saturday from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., which is such a nice touch, you can find fresh produce, local goods, and unique handmade items while enjoying the friendly community atmosphere. The area surrounding the mall is just as convenient, with many well-known stores nearby, plenty of parking, and a safe, family-friendly environment. Whether you’re shopping, meeting friends, or simply enjoying a stroll outdoors, Foothills Mall offers a perfect blend of comfort, convenience, and charm.

Step into a blast from the past at Totally 80's Pizza & Museum, a funky pizza joint and museum in Fort Collins. This unique spot is not just about delicious pizzas and chicken wings, but also about immersing yourself in the vibrant culture of the 1980s. The museum boasts an extensive collection of 80s memorabilia, including vintage toys, magazines, cereal boxes, and iconic items like Han Solo frozen in carbonite and Pee Wee's Big Adventure bike.
I loved the place! The atmosphere was so fun. Loved watching all the old music videos. The pizza was really good. I am very picky about Italian Sausage and theirs was perfection. Lots of creative pies to choose from. If I lived in the area, I would make it a goal to try them all.

This place is so cool! Loved walking around and seeing all the great 80s stuff. The gluten free pizza was wonderful. I came right when they opened, so there was no crowd. Love the only 80s music and TV showings (music videos, commercials, opening credits for sitcoms). Wish they had a better wine selection.

Love this place and the new location is even better! Took the kids and a group of their friends here after taking them to the theater to see Back to the Future for their first time. Great way to top off the evening and they all had a blast. The pizza was even better than I remember at the old location and they have a good draft beer selection. As a child of the 80's, I love just wondering around looking at all the cool old stuff. My son and his friend somehow beat the Michael Jackson Moonwalker game in the short amount of time we were there, so it must not be too much of a quarter hog. Definitely go here if you love 80's nostalgia and pizza!

Super fun and nostalgic atmosphere , my kiddo and I had a blast ! Played ninja turtles, super Mario, and the Michael Jackson arcade games, total Aladdins Castle vibes with the game choices. We absolutely loved the 70's collections of games, toys and memorabilia. Their star wars set up with the toys is stellar !! Fun times and a great pizza . We lived the 9ld school 80's music videos and were singing along. Great for families! We had a great time and will be back again soon.

Nature & Parks
Spring Canyon Park is a spacious 100-acre community park located at the base of the foothills. It features various athletic facilities, including tennis courts, a skate park, and a basketball court. The highlight of the park is the unique ADA-compliant Inspiration Playground, designed to bring children of all abilities together for inclusive play experiences. The playground offers safe and state-of-the-art structures, many covered by shade to protect children from the sun.
I go to the dog park 🐾 area of Spring Canyon Park often, and I absolutely love it! ❤️ How fortunate we are to have such a lovely park tucked up against the foothills of the mountains. It is really a veteran's park, 🇺🇸🫡 with information about those who have served in our military, and some interactive memorials are available to browse as well. 👀 If you have a flag that you would like to donate or is no longer servicable- there is a drop box there under the flag display in the parking lot by the big cottonwoods. 🌳🌳 Enjoy!

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.

Himalayan Bistro is a beloved, family-owned restaurant offering a relaxed atmosphere and a diverse menu featuring Nepalese, Tibetan, and Indian cuisine. Unlike traditional Indian fare, this establishment provides lighter and flavorful dishes from the Himalayan region. The Sherpa family's vision of bringing authentic Himalayan flavors to Northern Colorado has resulted in an elegant dining experience with attentive service amidst carefully curated art and designs.
It was fantastic! Better than how I remember the food in Kathmandu. Off the menu, they do have offer mango lassi. The server's knowledge was impressive. She knew the difference between Sherpa's and packers. (Incidentally, this restaurant is owned by a Sherpa.) Note: They don't have WiFi and data doesn't work well there (better with Verizon). No WiFi = not able to accept Apple or Google Pay.

Average experience. Decor was lovely. Elegant but comfortable. Food was decent but didn’t rate higher due to a couple of pet peeves. First, the padadams were prepared way in advance and lacked the comforting warmth. Tasted like it came out of a packet. Second, the chicken in my Rogan Josh wasn’t well seasoned. The curry itself was good, but as the chicken was cooked separately, the flavors didn’t permeate the meat. Vegetable momos were good. Generous serving for the entree. Service was friendly but not the most attentive, understandable perhaps as there was only one server for the entire restaurant on a weekend lunch.

This place is fantastic. The food was delicious (we had the chicken tandoori and saag as an appetizer along with garlic cheese naan 😋). The waitress was so personable and the atmosphere was upscale without being snobby. This was a new discovery for us but we will certainly be back. A great pick for lunch or dinner with family and friends or a nice date night option.

I am so glad we ended up having dinner here. Probably the best tasting food I’ve had since being in Colorado. Everything tasted delicious and extremely flavorful. Will probably make the hour drive up here again because it’s the only good restaurant I’ve found here in the denver metro area. Service was great as well and the restaurant was nice inside.
Donia B — Google review
Although the staff and restaurant are nice we were definitely disappointed in the price, portions and authentic flavor. Obviously, this is completely subjective but we feel compared to other restaurants that we have had the price was higher with smaller portions and less flavorful food. The tamarind chutney was very watery, and we felt the garlic naan was underwhelming, and lacking flavor.
Kayleigh J — Google review
Had take out one night, and the food was so good we came back for lunch in the restaurant the next day. While the menu includes Indian cuisine staples such as Chicken Tikka Masala, they also have Nepalese dishes including Momo dumplings that reminded me of Dim Sum but with a spicy dipping sauce. The interior of the restaurant is rather elegant with an attractive bar. The only downside is how long you have to wait for the food. I attributed the hour wait for the dinner takeout to it being a busy Friday night, but at lunch there was only one other group with us and yet the entrees seemed to take forever to arrive. Perhaps it is a sign of the care that is taken to prepare the food, as everything was delicious.

Waitress said no to "Giving 2nd refill" that they offer, of chai tea cold rather than hot, said no we cannot, nor would she allow us to take it to go?!?! She wasn't very attentive, she seemed irritated at having to waitresses, and this is our favorite restaurant. So why not allow switch from hot to cold... just pour it on ice?! And why not allow us to take it to go?! Its the shaved black haired gal eith tattoos up and down her arms. I didn't get her name. I'm not the complaining type, but this one was risiculous

This is the perfect place to get delicious hand-pulled noodles. They get really busy during rush times, so come between lunch and dinner for quicker service. The noodles and sides are good every single time I come, so I hope they stay a mom-and-pop/hole-in-the-wall type of place to maintain their high quality dishes. The only criticism I have is that I wish they had a vegetarian protein option, like tofu, for their noodle dishes.

We went to Jay’s Bistro with some good friends and had a nice time, but the tomahawk steak was a bit of a letdown. We were expecting something amazing, but it was just okay. The flavor and texture didn’t wow us, and we felt like we paid too much for it. The waitress was nice and helpful, but she didn’t warn us about the price when she suggested the tomahawk. We’ve eaten here before and loved the food, but this time the tomahawk steak didn’t live up to our standards.

Day 2

North side of town
For day 2, we recommend exploring the north side side of town. Start the day off with Fort Collins City Park, then wind down and take it easy by the time you get to Lee Martinez Community Park. All together, your day would be filled with about 7 hours of non-stop fun.

Park
Sprawling green space with a lake & public pool offering sports fields, picnic areas & a playground.
Absolutely stunning, safe place to relax or take kids. Below are pros and cons. Pros: Safe neighborhood with everyone’s kids riding and walking around unattended. Beautiful green grass with well kept shrubbery/water. Plenty of space for events like soccer and some sort of lacrosse that was being played. If you play Pokemon Go, there are lots of pokestops and such. Animals are allowed! Lots of fishing spots for those that like that sort of thing. LOTS of equipment for those who play tennis, go on playgrounds, and need pavilions. Lastly, the entire neighborhood is stunning and well-kept. Cons: Parking was plentiful but still hard to find. There aren’t any food places nearby.

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.

The Lincoln Center is a renowned performing arts space in Northern Colorado, offering both indoor and outdoor theaters, art galleries, and a sculpture garden. Since its opening in 1978, it has become one of the largest presenters of professional theater, comedy, visual arts, and children's programs in the state. The complex includes the Performance Hall with seating for 1,187 people, the Magnolia Theater, and the Canyon West Ballroom for events.
We had our wedding at The Lincoln Center this past August 2024. It was truly amazing and wonderful in so many ways! In my opinion this is the total locals place to get married in Northern Colorado. We wanted to have 150+ loved ones come to our wedding the easiest way we could. They have multiple areas to use, we used the beautiful Rooftop deck for our Ceremony and partied in the Ballroom for the reception. So many cute pictures spots, naturally elegant space (we didn't even have that many decorations and it still looked amazing here). Our event coordinator Benjamin was amazingly helpful and responsive throughout the planning process. 12/10 place to get married we wish we could do it all over again.

The shop has become an institution in the area, with friendly college student staff and a quirky interior that has remained unchanged over the years.

First time here. Friendly service with a smile. I tried the Caramel Sea Salt and it was delicious. Great flavor with the salty and sweet in a balanced proportion. The white chocolate dipped cone was excellent too. White chocolate was throughout the entire cone, not just on the outside. My husband had the pistachio and it was true to its name, strong pistachio flavor. Lots of pieces of pistachio too. Very tasty! This place is wonderful, we will be back!

The iconic ice cream shop in Fort Collins, Colorado. Locally owned and situated right smack dab in the heart of old town Fort Collins on Mountain Avenue. Always a diverse and unique set of flavors, including vegan options, ice cream sandwiches, cakes, malts/shakes and more… I’ve lived in Fort Collins Colorado and Northern Colorado for over 20 years and this is always our go to ice cream shop whether we’re in old town eating dinner or we make a special stop just to get that delicious ice cream. In the building they’re located in dates back to the early 1900s and has a whole bunch of really cool history including an apparent ghost that visits the building from time to time. Super easy to find and to get to with lots of on street parking as well as a few parking garage is within close proximity to the ice cream shop. Whether you live in Fort Collins or you’re visiting, walrus ice cream in Fort Collins Colorado is always a great place to stop in, grab a cone, and enjoy sitting on the outdoor patio.

A cute place with nice employees. The Swiss Chocolate was super rich. The cappuccino was good but I think it could have had a stronger coffee flavor. We love the sprinkle dipped cones. We wish there was a Rocky Road flavor! We would definitely come back again!

What a fun place! I was visiting friends in Fort Collins who took me to all the places they believed I’d love, and they were sure right about this one! It was hard to choose from all the great-sounding flavors, but I settled on my stand-by, pistachio, and it was delicious. The workers were friendly, enthusiastic, and seemed to love their job, and the atmosphere of the whole place was upbeat and inviting. I’ll definitely be back next time.

A FoCo landmark for over 30 years and our favorite ice cream shop. Dozens of flavors, try the Joke Flavor (if you dare), seating (inside and out), dog friendly, vegan options, and a staff that knows how to hustle (don't forget to tip). So nice to see that you all still have a passion for what you do. Be sure to stop by and try a free sample and see for yourself. I did a 🍌 split this time. Highly recommend.

The cafe is famous for its hearty fare and particularly for its giant cinnamon buns that have been a staple on their menu since day one.
Such delicious and quality food! We have come here a few times and it’s always so good. The service here is flawless too! The cinnamon roll and the bear claw are both must-try’s!! They’re so delicious and massive. The corned beef is savory and comes with a hefty portion of corned beef too! The green chili is super good with a nice subtle spice. The avocado toast and the yogurt bowl were both good and pretty standard. The cinnsational chicken was definitely my favorite! The cinnamon toast is so tasty and is a great balance to the salty, savory chicken. We will definitely continue to come back here!

Visiting Fort Collins for the first time and this place came highly recommended. Food was delicious and our server Jason was outstanding! Definitely grab a cinnamon roll to go.

Great coffee options too. I enjoyed a cafe latte with chocolate whiskey. ☕

A strange thing to comment on: I'm impressed with the lighting in the far west room. The building is probably over 100 years old with exposed original brick but the brick looks fantastic and the installed skylights and can lights really open the room and highlight the original floors and walls. Bravo. Expect to wait 20-60 minutes on a weekend morning. The atmosphere is a very busy, loud breakfast cafe. A lot of bustle and difficult to carry on conversation but a good environment for children. Nearly every table had a child Saturday late morning. The coffee was standard (terrible) for a breakfast grill but Reagan, our server, was a pro.

RARE Italian, located in Old Town, Fort Collins, offers a modern dining experience with traditional Italian cuisine. The restaurant prides itself on serving classic dishes with Northern Italian flavors, including fresh pasta and house-aged steaks. Their beverage menu features expertly crafted cocktails and an extensive selection of over 100 wines from Italy and around the world. The restaurant's welcoming atmosphere and approachable menu make it a standout choice for a special date night or celebratory meal.
Lived here for 15 years and this was my best overall dining experience in Colorado. Came for a girls night, had a reservation for weeks, and there was small issue with the table not being ready due to the previous party staying there for hours, no big deal. But the entire staff was so incredibly kind and accommodating, to both parties. The manager Collin was a class act and I was so impressed with how he juggled everyone and treated everyone with respect and kindness. Monica and Karly took care of our tables and we had the best time with the most delicious food! All superior quality and so well prepared. Would definitely recommend this to anyone for a special night out. Had a fantastic time.

Great place for a nice dinner. We booked this a littler last minute as a birthday celebration for my husband and enjoyed a selection from each menu category. The food was delicious and the service was wonderful! You have to try a pasta dish while you are there - you can tell that they pasta is made fresh. We got the mushroom one to accompany one of the dry aged steaks we shared which was a perfect combination - super garlicky and not too heavy! Our favorite was the house made burrata with blisters tomato appetizer!

Great service. Very attentive even though are party wasn't ready to order for a very long time. I ordered the Filet medium rare which was cooked to perfection. I also ordered their broccolini and cherry tomatoes side dish which was very flavorful. I believe I ordered the NA Peach Smash for a beverage which was tasty but small. Meal is definitely pricey but worth it with the steak alone. Overall, I'll definitely be returning soon.
Levi W — Google review
We have been to RARE many times. I will start off this 5-star review with the negatives to be aware of…The steak is pretty middle of the road. I’ve tried it twice, the first time it came out cold. The next time, much better but still middle of the road. The seasonal changing menu has been a point of contention for us because it has brought some of our favorite dishes (lobster risotto, Berkshire pork chop (photographed), and the butternut squash fig burrata) and other times the, dishes really fall short (lookin at you lentils). Speaking of lentils, they were so bleh that it was dusty. Yea. Dusty. How is that possible? Ive never described a food as dusty but it’s as if you popped a spoonful of sawdust in your mouth like a beaver. Get rid of the lentils dish. Now, for the positives. The pork chop we just had…HOLY MOLY that was a SHOWSTOPPER. The apple arugula salad is a fav. Calamari always good. The brussels sprouts. The root vegetable brown butter ravioli, lobster risotto, all the pizzas, butternut squash fig burrata, the cannolis and the limoncello tiramisu, all amazing. So, in short, it takes some time to find the dishes that are superstars but they are absolutely there. The service, don’t expect it to wow you. Sometimes it’s great. Other times it’s as if you’re a forgotten stepchild in the corner of a dark room.

Slyce Pizza truly stands out from the crowd, offering a fantastic experience that goes beyond your typical pizza joint. What really impressed me was their excellent variety – they've got all the classics, but it's their unique choices that truly shine. You'll find combinations you haven't seen before, making it tough (in the best way!) to pick just one. I got sausage and pepperoni (classic) and mac and cheese both slices I tried were made with fresh, high-quality ingredients and cooked to perfection. Beyond the delicious food, the nice atmosphere makes dining at Slyce a real pleasure. It's welcoming, comfortable, and strikes a great balance between lively and relaxed. Whether you're grabbing a quick bite or settling in for a meal with friends, the vibe is just right. If you're looking for a pizza place that offers something a little different and delivers on both taste and ambiance, Slyce Pizza is an absolute must-try. I'm already looking forward to my next visit to explore more of their unique creations!

Low Key Bucket list goal to dine on pizza and drink beer at that window during a blizzard. The Mac and Cheese Pizza is Comfort Food Squared! Every type of pizza I've had there is good however. Nice selection of local brews. Last time I visited, it was below freezing outside. I sat at the window with a cold brew and kept warm by the working antique radiator. Love this place. It's a whole vibe. The staff are crazy friendly and I look forward to visiting more.

Lucile's is a cozy Cajun-Creole eatery known for its delicious breakfast and lunch offerings. The restaurant exudes a homely, New Orleans vibe, especially on its charming patio where diners can enjoy their meals. While the wait for a table might be long, the experience and food are well worth it. Customers often start their day with beignets and fresh juice before indulging in dishes like farmers eggs with avocado.
You are going to have a great day if you start it at Lucille's. Order light or indulge in a cajun breakfast with eggs hollandaise, cajun beans, and a mamoth biscut. The orange marmalade is worth a return teip on its own.

This place is amazing! The food is really good, and the beignets are a must have!! I had a praline waffle which was really sweet but a huge portion size and very filling. The fresh fruit on top was my favorite addition! The syrup they give you is REAL maple which is my favorite. I also got a side of bacon which was cooked really well for my liking, the bacon was a bit pricey. They also have fresh squeezed orange juice which is absolutely delicious, and in my opinion it is fairly priced. The service staff was very friendly and I felt the server did a great job tending to us! Overall this place is great and a must try in Fort Collins.

Lucile’s is a creole dream nestled in the heart of Fort Collins. The vibe is family home, the service is prompt and super warm, and the kitchen is on top of their game. The dishes are classic and delicious, without any fussiness, and the portion sizes are generous! Never ending coffee refills during breakfast service never hurts, either. The dining room is both ample and cozy at the same time. If you’ve ever dined in New Orleans then you will feel right at home. And I would never have guessed after my first visit that there are several locations throughout Colorado. Highly recommended.

Definitely recommend the biscuit with strawberry rhubarb jam and the beignets. If you are visiting on a weekend, prepare for a LONG wait and your whole party needs to be present before you can be seated. Otherwise, weekdays are great.

Pizza restaurant
Beau Jo's Fort Collins is a regional chain known for its Colorado-style, thick-crust pizza and calzones. The pizzeria dates back to 1973 and has multiple locations in the state, including one in Old Town. Every Thursday, they host Family Night with balloon twister entertainment and free meals for kids. Their signature Mountain Pies are a must-try, especially the gluten-free options. The menu offers many gluten-free choices and caters to vegetarians as well.
we wanted pizza and Beau Jo's was the closest. their website said best pizza in FoCo and i think they're right. the cheese pull was 10/10 and the crispy pepperoni was top notch. our waitress was super quick and sweet as well

The pizza is as great as advertised. This is the pizza I've always wanted: delicious crust that is less than half the pizza because of the mountain of toppings. I can't wait to go back!

The most beautiful pizza I’ve had in gluten free crust. The best crust I’ve had in Colorado. It wasn’t flaky and it was beautifully varnished. The atmosphere was nice and the location central to old town square right next to the main bus station. The waitress was pleasant and the food was out in less than 10 minutes on a Sunday. It’s a sports bar, kind of, but has separate seating area for guests as well and outdoor seating.

The manager put on the F1 race for me and it made my day! Delicious pizza with honey on the table to help enjoy the crust. Great drinks too! I typically make a custom pizza.

We got the ranch dude and motherlode Mountain pie. A medium size is 8 slices and was enough for 6 people. The food is good!

The house salad was very fresh and a great blend of vegetables. However, the pizza was overcooked and had hardly any cheese on it. Seriously, I was shocked when I saw our 35 dollar large "loaded" pizza. Half of the pizza was burnt, and all the toppings and cheese added up to less than 1/8". The only thing I liked was the 4 dried pepper blend.

Pizza, great. They have gluten-free and dairy free options with tons of toppins. Service... waitress was nice. Atmosphere, sad and dirty. This place used to be a VIBE especially when they had the pizza and salad bar. It was sad to see it like this. Trash and a glass under our table and table was dirty when they sat us.

Such good pizza and the Colorado Style crust is always my fave part, dip (or drench like me) with honey and it’s the best built in dessert. I love coming here during my visits up, the “Small” is the perfect size for 2 people to share! Cant wait to be back.
