Flagstaff Star

Getting to the Flagstaff Star requires a bit of a hike, but is 100% worth it! It is a great photo opportunity, date setting, and overall a nice place to hang. Check it out during the holiday season (November-January) to see it when it’s lit.

Pearl Street Mall

The Boulder experience is incomplete without exploring the Pearl Street Mall. Whether it’s dining, shopping or arts, this four block outdoor mall has something for everybody!

16th Street Mall

If you want to expand your horizons past Boulder, the 16th Street Mall is located in downtown Denver and is only a 30 minute drive from Boulder. Much like Pearl Street, the 16th Street Mall offers dining, shopping and an exciting city atmosphere!

Butterfly Pavilion

The Butterfly Pavilion is located in Westminster, which is a 20 minute drive from Boulder. It features beautiful, free-flying butterflies and is an unforgettable experience. Get your tickets here: https://tickets.butterflies.org/DateSelection.aspx?item=15

Hike in Chautauqua Park

Perhaps the most scenic spot in Boulder, Chautauqua Park offers hiking trails of varying difficulty and beautiful views. When the weather is nice, this is the place to be.

Lost Gulch Overlook

Lost Gulch Overlook literally overlooks all of Boulder, and the breathtaking view makes for a fantastic photo backdrop!
