It's not just the girls that want to have fun in Boulder. These fun things to do get everyone in the convivial spirit of a good holiday in Boulder. And whether it's warm or cold out, fun in Boulder happens in the great outdoors.
In the summertime, the
Boulder Reservoir has swimming, boating, water-skiing, and more fun water activities.
Eben G. Fine Park along the Boulder Creek is the prime spot for tubing and also has a playground for the kids, along with plenty of picnic tables and shady spots for lounging.
A fun nighttime activity in the summer is the
Colorado Shakespeare Festival. Order dinner when you pick up your tickets and enjoy a picnic on the beautiful
CU Boulder campus before the show, complete with strolling madrigals. Then 45 minutes before show time, attend a conversation about the upcoming play with one of the Festival's staff members, which is bound to enhance your experience. Or if music is more your style, catch a concert at the unparalleled
Red Rock Amphitheater.
In the winter, outdoor skating at
The Ice Rink and skiing and snowboarding at
Eldora Mountain Resort are fun options for the whole family.
Banjo Billy's unusual bus tours and star-gazing at the
Fiske Planetarium are fun year-round activities, as is the
Gateway Park Fun Center. Active, captivating, comical, unique — these activities are bound to put a smile on your face. This is what vacation is all about, right?
