Amazing park. The trails and landscaping are nicely done. All of the art is beautiful in its own unique way.

This was a lovely sculpture garden with wonderful landscaping, as well as the gorgeous sculptures. My sister and I had a good time walking through and admiring both. We were sorry to have missed the early spring blooms that we cod tell must have been lovely.

Beautiful Park. Nice to walk around the ponds & see the ducks & admire all that amazing art work. Lots of benches to sit & rest a few minutes while you're out walking. Good exercise & the people we saw were very nice. Love this place.

So fun and unexpected! Our family took us here when we were visiting and we loved it! There are so many different types of sculptures: whimsical, historic, oddball, realistic, fun, curious, amusing, interactive. etc. We look forward to coming back when we have more time. 45 minutes was really not enough time to even see part of it.

I've been in Loveland for a few days and passed the sign several times and decided to check it out. I'm so glad I did. Over 10 acres of over 150 sculptures of various styles, subjects, and mediums, though most are bronze. I so enjoyed walking the trails and taking in this free art experience. Some are funny,others political, others historical and others whimsical. Many are placed in a specific setting relevant to the subject.
Every once in a while, you come across a place that you don't want to leave, and this was one of those places for me. If I had a molecule of imagination and an ounce of talent,I'd try to be a sculptor. This is the next best thing. Thank you for making this available for all to see.

Plan to spend 1-2 hours here. The art exceeded my expectations! There are many places to sit in the shade or have a snack or lunch at a picnic table. The kids sculpture garden has adorable photo ops. There is a Pavillion with water fountains. A wonderful place to stroll with your dog.

Beautiful little spot for pictures. There's beautiful flowers, ponds, ducks, and of course the sculptures.
My family strolled around and pictures of each other and enjoyed ourselves here. Parking was easy, and there was plenty of space.
There was a pavilion where a little wedding was taking place while we were there.

Neat park with trails surrounded by beautiful works of art, loved my walk through the area and excited to come back!
The trail was clean, and beautiful. I enjoyed a bit of the elevation, but not so intense. The sunset at the picnic area was breathtaking. In the afternoon, the rocks covered the trails makes it a bit cooler and some shade which helps with the temperature.

So you look here and see these rad rocks, but the trail doesn't go there. The rocks are in this rich neighborhood's backyard and the trail goes through the low points where you can't see them because they didn't want to build the trail through their landfill of construction trash. So disgusting what happened to this beautiful place. I encourage you to ignore the signs and go off trail to actually enjoy this place. The yucca plants will be just fine , trust me.

Really nice trail. Great for hiking or biking. Used to be free parking but now it's $10 which it's probably worth but seems a bit high. This trail connects to Coyote Ridge, Indian Summer, and Blue Sky which eventually ends up near Horsetooth Reservoir so you can get as much riding or hiking as you want. Do watch out for rattlesnakes.

Great, leisurely hike. Great for families, mountain bikers or individuals looking for an easy hike. I'd recommend this to anyone in the area looking for some exercise, a good view or just something to do to kill time.

Great hike to do, not very long, has great views and lots of grasshoppers!
Mitchell Eaton — Google review
Pretty audacious to charge $10 for a hike that used to be FREE for the past 35 plus years. Loveland must be very desperate of funding. Overcrowded and unkept. A $10 hike should be justified with improvements and beautiful scenery. For example Hanging Lake in Glenwood Springs Colorado is a $10 hike. This does not even touch that very disappointed. Not worth it!

Ominous rock formations jutting up from the plains gives this unique spot an amazing appeal. Short hike user friendly place.
Jamie Quint — Google review
Devils Backbone is a good scenic trail and I would qualify it as easy. If you want to bring family you can do so. Also the trails allow dirt biking.
If you do the extended hike which is 7 miles round trip there is some rock scrambling and a also very few people that far.
I think it's $11 to park, overall beautiful trail.
Steve Dempsey — Google review
Great trail for walking/easy easy hiking. Good if you dont have time to reach the mountains but still want some trail time. Great place for bikers as well. Cool viewpoints overlooking the foothills and some of the nearby peaks. Easy enough for kids and dogs. Longest point is 5.5 miles out so round trip would get you near 11 miles if you wanted the full deal. Key hole lookout/viewpoint is awesome.

Beautiful hike near Loveland! After a couple of days hiking on some snowy trails in Rocky Mountain National Park, Devil's Backbone Open Space trails were a nice change for some sun, desert flora, greenery, and rocky cliffs. Definitely recommend!
Chapungu Sculpture Park at Centerra is a charming park located near a shopping center. The park features beautiful Zimbabwean stone sculptures, benches and a stream. The area is perfect for family pictures during fall when the colors change, with its numerous walking paths, a nice bridge, grassy knoll, and lots of trails that make it great for strolling or having photos taken.
Beautiful park area by the mall. Had some family pictures taken here with the colors changing during fall. Lots of little trails. A nice bridge, grassy knoll, cute place to have a stroll or some pictures taken. Seemed like we were out in the middle of nowhere, even though we were next to the Macy's parking lot.

This is a very nice, quiet tranquil Park. It has restrooms outside of the winter season. It has nice wide sidewalk paths for walking around and enjoying the sculptures. There are a lot of sculptures! A lot to look at and get inspiration from. A very nice park to have in this area.

This sculpture park is a gem in a place one would not expect to see a nice tribute to African culture. The art is truly incredible and worth seeing in this calm and serene park. The park has great walking trails along some water and great landscaping. I walked with the dog here several days in a row each morning and it was great for us both. I salute whomever designed this park and decided to put it in Loveland of all places being so rural heartland. Stop by for a stroll and observe the art.

Fun and impressive sculptures--carved out of rock! Nice walk around looking at sculptures and reading the plaques. Good amount of trees. Colorful flowers. Relaxing Benches to sit on. If you are near water or vegetation, the native bugs are happy to eat you-- I mean greet you. Lol. The maintenance trailer kind of blocked handicapped parking. Not cool.

This sculpture park is a great little hidden gem in Loveland. While it's located near a shopping area, the park itself is very tranquil and never crowded at all (with the exception of special events). The sculptures are spaced out a bit more than they are at the other sculpture park in town, which can be good or bad depending on your preferences. Love the Zimbabwean theme here.

What a lovely surprise. I didn’t know this was here. Smack in the middle of a shopping center (one I’ve been to 50+ times) On this day I had a few hours to spare in between appointments.
Today it was on the warm side for autumn- I can’t wait to come back in the evening. This area has well maintained paved and unpaved paths, gorgeous ponds and nicely designed greenery. The statues were also unexpectedly heartwarming. Family, childhood, elders etc.. all the themes spoke directly to me. My 21 yo daughter wants to come back and take pictures with her “good” camera. These are just from my iphone. Bathrooms, parking, drinking water and benches for sitting. Each statue is worth a conversation.

We had our wedding reception at Sweetheart Winery.
The location is absolutely beautiful! It sits near a river, at the base of the Rocky Mountains, and near a beautiful rock formation. The winery itself is amazing with a beautiful rustic atmosphere.
The staff here is absolutely amazing. Each time I arrived for tours or planning meetings, the staff was so helpful in answering my questions. They also did an amazing job setting up the day of! I want to give a special shout out to Bailey who is the events coordinator at Sweetheart. She did an absolutely amazing job helping our day run smoothly and according to plan. She made sure my new husband and I had everything we needed throughout the whole night of our wedding. She was also a gem of a person and was a joy to work with.
I 100% recommend Sweetheart Winery for events, especially weddings.
We absolutely loved it here and are so grateful for the staff. We will definitely be returning for some wine soon!

Sweetheart Winery in Loveland isn't just a venue; it's a memorable experience woven into the fabric of my personal and professional life. As a real estate agent committed to celebrating the milestones of both my clients and family, I chose Sweetheart Winery for my client appreciation party and my daughter's bridal shower. Both events were nothing short of magical, thanks to the breathtaking setting, exceptional service, and exquisite wines that define Sweetheart Winery.

The picturesque backdrop and inviting atmosphere provided the perfect setting for both gatherings, leaving my clients and family members enchanted. It's a testament to the quality and charm of Loveland – qualities I share with those looking to make this area their home.
The staff at Sweetheart Winery went above and beyond to ensure each event was personalized and memorable, mirroring the dedication I bring to helping my clients find their dream homes. Their attention to detail and commitment to excellence made every moment special, from the client appreciation party that reinforced my relationships with those I've had the pleasure of serving, to my daughter's bridal shower, which was a celebration of love and new beginnings.
For anyone considering Sweetheart Winery for an event or simply looking to enjoy a day of wine tasting in a stunning location, you're in for a treat. As someone who deeply values community, relationships, and creating lasting memories, I can wholeheartedly recommend Sweetheart Winery.

Was the wine good? Yes. Was the space nice, yes. Was the food good? Eh. Was it baby friendly? Yes. Was the overall service good? Eh. What ruined our experience was at the end of our dinner we went out to take some photos. The waitress we had came out and very rudely told us not to take photos with our camera after knowing how much we spent on dinner. She could have been nicer and handled it better. Apparently only phone cameras are allowed and a contract and fee is required for anything else.

This place was the perfect ending to our Colorado trip. Having the river run along the back of the property made for a beautiful ambiance. The hostess and waitress were both very friendly. The wine selections were great. Even my husband, who doesn't care for wine, bought a bottle to take home. The pizza was also delicious. Lovely place!

I was fortunate enough to capture a wedding at this venue and I fell in love with it. As a photographer, I love shooting at themed locations such as this barn style winery. I didn't get a chance to try the wine, but maybe next time when I'm not working. I hear it's excellent.

Can I give a 6 star review? I would if I could! The family owned and operated Sweet Heart Winery is the perfect venue for a wedding! I love the space and how the outdoors is always a highlight!

Choosing sweet heart winery as our wedding venue was the best decision we could have made. Bailey was such a kind, capable, and attentive day of coordinator. She put us completely at ease and was invaluable in helping us execute the perfect day. The venue in late May was stunning and perfect for our laid back but intentional wedding. The sweet heart staff were so helpful and kind to everyone. Would 1000% recommend this venue to anyone. Also the wine and cider are delicious.

We had reserved a table for our anniversary but received a message from the winery that Open Table hadn't blacked out the date for a special event. They then offered us reservations for a new date which we accepted.
We then received another message that they had accidentally scheduled our reservation during their wine club new vintage launch but would honor our reservation.
We ordered a meat and cheese charcuterie board and asked if we could order a flight of the new wines being introduced instead of what was on the menu. The owner made an exception and we were able to sample the new releases. The bourbon cask variety was delicious.
We also were given, for free, the courses that the club were getting to pair with their wines. I never would have thought beats combined with goat cheese and balsamic vinegar would be so delicious.
The staff was very friendly and the owner, Kathy, stopped by to talk. Our waitress, Andie?, was attentive and the hostess gave us a history of the winery and how the grapes are sourced.
My only quibble is that the flights are very small.
All in all a wonderful evening, elevated by the generosity of our hosts. We will be back.

We stopped by on the way back from Estes Park. The winery is large inside and has inside and outside seating. Trying the Adventurous and Robust Red flights so we can try more. Tried to get another glad of the fortified Cad dessert wine but a big party came in and we were forgotten. Maybe next time we will come earlier.
Boyd Lake State Park is a serene lakeside park that offers a variety of water sports like boating, fishing and more. The park also features a campground with clean bathrooms, swings, horse shoe pit, and other recreational activities for families and friends to have fun together. Visitors can enjoy peaceful walks around the lake and meet friendly people in the area. It's an ideal spot for single folks, couples or families looking for relaxation amidst beautiful scenery.
Best place ever to camp at. This place was something new to me because usually when I go camping there's tons of trees and more forestry type but it was really nice their. It did rain a lot though. The water was clear and clean and pet safe. The trails where very cool. They have bathrooms and showers the showers cost 75¢ to start then 25¢ for every minute. The water wasn't that cold once you covered your whole body in it. I am definitely coming here again.

So fun camping here this weekend! Lots of family's and kids, they have a horse shoe pit, park, swings and very clean bathrooms!

Cherise S — Google review
I almost don't want to leave this review because I don't want additional traffic, but here we are lol Boyd is amazing. This year, with all the rain we've had, Boyd is fuller than ever. The water creeps right up to the picnic tables!! (Last year, there was still about 50ft of beach before you hit the water). We launched our kayaks right from our picnic spot, cruised through the trees that are now living the aquatic life. We recently kayaked the whole lake and that was a lot lol anyways, the important things, like the bathrooms here are always clean, people are respectful of each other's space and we all seem to clean up after ourselves (as it should be). There are also spigots around to rinse your hands, feet, gear, kids? Pets? Whatever, I'm not here to judge. There's tons of picnic tables (some with awnings), plenty of grass space for land sports or tanning. Plenty of parking around as well. Overall the grounds are very well maintained. There's also a concession stand that sells food (haven't tried it yet). You can rent jet skis (and other toys) too (totally fun). There's also a large playground for those who may not be as excited to swim. The campgrounds look nice as well, each spot was numbered with a fire pit and it looked like they had a large bathroom right in the middle (I don't know if they have showers in there or not). There are also people who take advantage of bike riding and walking the trails nearby. There's really something for everyone here. $11 day pass is where it's at, although I recommend getting your dual registration ID to avoid having to pay every time (and it pays for itself in 3 visits).

Nice spot for camping. The bathroom was spacious and clean, the walks around the lake were peaceful, and most people around were friendly and pleasant.

Devil's Backbone Open Space is a vast 2,198-acre area comprising of unique rock formations and trails suitable for hiking, biking, and horseback riding. The park offers the Wild Loop trail which includes the fascinating Keyhole section. During spring and summer, the open space is expected to be more colorful. However, it's noteworthy that a day use fee will take effect from next year onwards.
Decent hiking trail leading to a mini arch. Not paved, lots of rock stairs.
Parking fee is 10.00 for a 24 hour period.

I've wanted to explore Devil's backbone for years and finally did. Coolest rock formation and well marked, well maintained trails for hikers, bikers and horse back. Zero trees or shade cover once on the trail, so be prepared for that. Park now charges $10 park fee due to over-use during pandemic, but honestly don't mind that, it keeps it well maintained presently and for the future. There are bathrooms and water fountains in the parking lot as well.

BEAUTIFUL trails and area. Various vegetation, bugs, and birds to see on whatever trail you chose. Keyhole is the easiest and shortest and worth it especially with kids/dogs. If you have more time, and more water!... keep going! More strenuous loops are ahead- my favorite is laughing horse- absolutely beautiful! I was lucky and had overcast sky which helped keep temps down. Be prepared with plenty of water and probably some snacks if you go further.

In case you are that one person who hasn’t yet experienced Devil’s Backbone, let me give you an idea of why you are missing: a number of hiking and biking trails, ranging from fairly easy loops, to out-and-back trails that can take you all the way to Horsetooth Reservoir and beyond! At Devil’s Backbone, it really is a choose-your-own-adventure outing. Explore the remnants of an old gypsum mine, go for a stroll along this beautiful range of “hog backs”, or head on up to the Keyhole where you can stare in awe at the stunning views and incredible landscape.
The Devil’s Backbone parking lot fills up quickly on weekends and holidays, so plan on getting their early or visiting during “off” days. Parking is free, and there are bathrooms, shaded seating areas and even a beautiful picnic area nestled amongst the trees.

We love going around the Devil’s Backbone area. The rocks are so cool to look at! Our kids love going to the keyhole. It’s a fairly easy hike and all four kids have done it multiple times. Even had our family photos taken here years ago! It’s a great beginner hike with worthwhile views at top!

This is an extra wonderful kid or dog friendly hike. The hogbacks which form the Devil's Backbone are a western landmark but you can't climb them . This is an especially good place to bring friends or family from out of town looking for a Colorado outing. There's a bathroom, water fountain and dog water fountain. There's more than one trail system to choose from so you can choose easy kid friendly or a longer hike past the hogbacks for those looking to extend their outdoor experience.

I love that they have a trail for those who want to ride bikes, and those who want to walk. It was a nice walk with a slight incline. The trail is super easy to follow. The place was pretty packed when we went, but thankfully we were all pretty spread out on the trail. Neat place to visit with some beautiful overlooks. We came in December and still got pretty hot going up the trail. On the way back it's definitely not so bad.

Fabulous hike that's not too strenuous. The keyhole is a great place for photos. The only downside is that it can get somewhat crowded at times. But the scenery makes it worth it in my opinion. Be careful in high heat because there's almost no shade.
The Loveland Museum is a small attraction that displays a range of ever-changing artwork alongside a permanent exhibit detailing the local history. Despite its size and location, the museum offers an in-depth insight into both the art and the history of Loveland, Colorado. The knowledgeable staff are particularly engaging for children, as they provide an interactive experience that sheds light on how people lived in the past and how mountain men operated.
Despite its location and size this museum provides a deep look into the art and history of the wild west and loveland Colorado specifically. The knowledge and experience of the staff is wonderful, especially if you have children as it is really engaging to have them go over the historical way people lived and mountain men operated. A really delightful experience and a great family or class activity

Cute little museum with a ton of information on the history of Loveland. Weird musty smells in parts, but that’s part of the charm. I did not find the guitar exhibit to be well done and wish I had waited for the upcoming special exhibit. Who makes a guitar exhibit that’s completely silent?! Lovely staff members and cute little gift shop.

My 3 grandchildren, ages 5, 6, and 8, and I really enjoyed the museum. The kids spent a long time playing upstairs in the child sized mail truck "delivering" mail into the colorful mailboxes. They also enjoyed the art exhibit (Marmots) and the historical portion of the museum.
Cost for myself was $7, the kids were free!

Nice little museum that exhibited the history of Loveland along with work from various artists. We had the opportunity to see the last day of the Michael Friedman photography exhibit as well as the John Mellencamp special art exhibits. The museum was free but the Mellencamp exhibit did come with a cost. Good way to spend an hour or so of your afternoon.

We love to visit the museum for their new exhibits. The exhibits in the main gallery are quite varied and unique and they rotate every several months so there's usually something new to see. The core exhibit does an excellent job highlighting the local sugar beet industry history which is an amazing story of what contributed to the community's growth.
We return frequently and would highly recommend the exhibit that opened just recently - Ansel Adams photos at Manzanar interment camp in 1943. Just excellent work that truly captures life in the camp! A must see!

Great local historical museum! I live going to small town museums to learn about their history. It's always hit or miss on the quality. This one is well done and informative. Good information on the history of Loveland, and a devoted space to rotating exhibits - currently housing an Ansel Adams collection featuring Japanese Internment Camps. Also, located in the downtown area, so you have a lot of restaurant choices to round out the experience. Again, well done!
This park has something for everyone! I walk my dog quite often on the recreation trail, but I also use many of the other facilities. They are two dog parks—for large and small/shy dogs. The rental shelters here are perfect for all kinds of get togethers and have grills. The sports facilities include a skatepark, basketball, pickle ball, tennis, disc golf and sports fields for soccer and pickup games. They have even added nice public art and interesting specimen trees. Kids love the playground year round; even more in the summer with the water features. There are bathrooms, too. The park is a stop on the loveland recreation trail, which makes it easy for people to bike to this park. There are two parking lots and two entrances.

Great place and we’ll taken care of. Flowers, water, wildlife, walking trails, covered tables, pretty awesome playground equipment, benches, and restrooms. There was plenty of parking when I went. There seems to be a south part and a north part, we only visited the south side.

This is a really nice park! It's also a very popular park! Two things that were disappointing : one is the drawbridge was missing from the playground and the other is no dogs were allowed on the playground. It just meant I couldn't walk around and engage with my daughter since I had our dog with us. Every other park I've been to in Fort Collins so far has allowed dogs on the park. That being said, it was very busy and it was best not to have her out there most of the time.

The park is very large and well maintained. For the most part the patrons also seem to be respectful of the space and that others use it. The dog park is awesome, I just wish it had more shaded areas. There are two large fields, tennis courts, a skate park, and lots of walking trails in and around the area. Head's up, the bathrooms are closed during the winter because the water is turned off to avoid frozen/busted pipes.

Had a great time! Playground neat and clean. Well maintained! water feature fun for all ages. Picnic tables were nice for shade. The bike path and park were fun for older kids.
Easily can spend all day there!

Went for some disc golf. They had a 9 hole course which was fairly basic. No Tree cover, tall grass and fairly short holes with Plenty of wind to make the thought of that being "easy" melt away quickly.
We didn't check out the park though it looked like it was well maintained and would be great for my kids. The grounds are very well kept and the grass looks green and inviting.
The disc golf course itself is not very maintained, but there are posts and has arrows indicating the hole # and direction of the basket. I'd say it was an average of 250-300 feet per basket.
There are rattlers here, so be wary. And the tall grass can be tricky, both in hiding your drivers and the nope ropes. Be vigilant.
Decent quick course. Worth a stop for a quickie.

We hadn't been here in a while and a few pieces of equipment are no longer here. Park has so much room and potential to have lots of equipment but many pieces are limited to one or two people to play on at a time leaving kids waiting for a turn. The boys still had fun on the main climbing slide feature so we will visit again as weather gets warmer. I hope they still have the water feature in the summer.

Stunning views of the mountains with a variety of spaces/courts for people to play basketball, tennis, soccer, volleyball, etc. There’s a pear orchard pathway near a serene, open field that is perfect for your kids to play and frolic on as well. Though, the nearby playground might be a more entertaining experience, or perhaps the little picnic shelter if you brought a meal. The dog park was much loved by my pup, and I thought it was exceptionally nice too. Mehaffey also has a fantastic skate park and great running/biking trails if you’re into that :)
We didn’t venture off to explore all areas of this vast park, but I was content with everything I did see this time and cannot wait to check out the rest! It’s so beautiful with the foliage alone, but the park exceeds all expectations and has an abundance of attractions to offer. Definitely a sweet place to enjoy doing the things you love while taking in just a fraction of the nature around you.

First time visit last week and I was amazed at how big this park was. This was the playground area kids 10/7/2 all had a fun time. Even I joined in on getting on the playscape and see saws. There is restrooms right as you walk up they were big and clean. There is a big a a few big pavilions with picnic tables and grills. A big flat area for kids to run and play. There is tons of parking. It was worth the drive!

The Budweiser Events Center, home to the Eagles professional hockey team, is a contemporary stadium that hosts concerts, trade shows and other events. Unlike other venues that require guests to show proof of a negative COVID-19 test or vaccination card, this arena does not impose such restrictions. Additionally, it offers free parking and reasonable prices. This venue is an excellent choice for watching hometown pro and semi-pro sports or attending exciting sponsored events suitable for the whole family.
I have attended a few events now at the Budweiser Event Center. It is a great venue. Most recently, I got to attend a Colorado Eagles game here and it was a blast. None of the seats felt too far away and it never felt too crowded! Great venue for sports or Disney on Ice or and of the other many different types of events held here.

It is a great place to go watch your hometown Pro and semipro sports and/or some of the most exciting events that are sponsored. If you haven't already checked it out, I would recommend it. Fun for the whole family or just you and the Misses.

We've went to a handful of Colorado Eagles hockey games over the last few years. The upgrades to the arena and fan seats prior to this season have been great.

We came here for a concert a little bit ago and getting in to park here was horrendous. It took about 30-45 min to get from the highway into the parking lot. I think they had some other event going on at the same time or something. But it was so terrible. The row of seats we sat on was like not attached to the ground so the whole row moved together when anyone would move. Dont sit in section S row 8. The concert itself was great.

Good venue for a concert. Next time I would opt to sit in the stands vs on the main floor. It was warm enough in spite of subzero temps outside. Had to pay for parking.

Actually my wife and I went to the Rocky Mountain Train exhibit at the First National Bank building on the Larimer County Fairgrounds. The train show was fun and interesting for train enthusiasts of all ages.
The only bummer part of this experience was the parking.bbThe train show folks had arranged for free parking (which was nice), but one had to walk quite a ways from the parking lot just to get to the building. The fairgrounds need to maybe do a rethink on making parking more convenient to the facilities ( especially when they double book and have a hockey game and an exhibit going on at the same time). Also, clearer sign postings for exiting would be nice.
So train show=5 stars; parking=3 stars.

LOVE LOVE LOVE how this arena doesn’t require proof of a negative covid test or to show your vaccine card! The ball arena does and it’s such a hassle! And you have to pay for parking over at ball arena also! Love the free parking here, the staff are great, and the prices are reasonable. We love coming here to watch the Eagles play! My money will always go to this arena first before all the rest! (Keep it the way it is forever so I can keep coming to the games) 😍👍🏼

Great food, drink & layout. Best way to get there and avoid the parking hassle and to get in and out quickly is to rent a party bus. Drop off was really efficient at the front door. Was glad to see the amount of security hanging around. Very helpful and courteous staff. The whole place and restrooms were very clean. Seating was very comfortable. Concert was great The sound was clear and just loud enough.

Small and not prepared for a very large sold out crowd. Long single line entrance to park. Seats are ok and sightlines are good. Almost no food and drinks were very expensive. They tried but were overwhelmed. Only would go back if it's the only option to see a band I like.
Eric Eichel — Google review
We were here for Arenacross as racers. They offered no food venue inside yet we were not allowed to take food in from outside places not even the food truck located outside the entrance. Nowhere to sit down and eat could not take water in. How are Racers supposed to stay hydrated and keep their energy up? Had to go to the front of the building to buy a ticket just to walk to the back of the building to enter. Very inconvenient and time-consuming. We used to do everything right at the back door, more convenient. Families were able to take food in so they could sit at the tables and eat in between races much more convenient. Hopefully Blue makes this more user friendly and affordable for families.

Nice venue. First time here. Was actually really pleased with the price of food & beverage. Still overpriced, but not Denver overpriced. Can’t believe I’m actually happy paying $20 for Bottled Water, Modelo and M&Ms
In Denver that would have been around $30.
Cons:
- if you are seated on the floor you are forced to pour your drink(s) into a plastic cup
- clear bag policy - it isn’t stated on the ticket, but once you get to the door, there are tons of signs indicating that bags are not permitted over ‘x’ sizing, but clear bags are (note: security was being kinda lenient on this rule. If you are going to have outrageous, ridiculous rules, then enforce those rules for EVERYBODY!)
Overall great experience watching @BertKreischer

Figure out your handicap parking. ALSO IF YOURE DISABLED JUST DONT COME HERE. I have 2 metal rods in my spine and after attending an event I wanna go straight home. Being parked in the handicap, I didn’t expect them to shuffle all of handicap parking through regular parking. So not only do you wait for people to walk out the arena, you wait to drive thru regular traffic as well. It’s honestly just a mess and I expected better especially since paying for the parking. Nice Venue. Being handicap they didn’t say accessibility would be on the floor so that was another surprise. Lucky they had my fav comedian who decided to come here instead of denver cause y’all probably won’t see my money again. Tops off baby

We go to many events here. Thus was a Good Guys car show.
The event cent is huge and there are usually several things happening at once. We also enjoy Eagles Ice Hockdy there.
Greeted by Nick from behind the bar, I was happy to see their tap selection. He was informative and made sure I got the right beer at the right price.
Really good, laid back vibes. It really seems like the employees like working here. The patrons were all respectful and cordial.
I’d definitely come back here, but they should have lower prices to fill a growler (just saying)
Five stars, anyways

Loveland Aleworks has some of the best beers around. They are an integral part of the Loveland community and offer more than just beer to their patrons. I have been to numerous events held inside the brewery outside of just normal beer drinking outings. Their Hefe is a summer staple in our crew as is their coconut porter for us during the winter. They are well known across the state for their awesome sours that they keep on tap year around. Now that I have moved away, I don't come back to Loveland without visiting Loveland Aleworks.

Really sad to have to write this. I always thought Loveland Aleworks was inclusive to everyone but this isn't true. Caving to pressure from religious nuts isn't what I would expect from this establishment, proudly displaying the pride flag "everyone is welcome here". Well, not everyone, apparently. Two starts instead of one cause the barkeeps are kind. I won't be coming back.

I really enjoyed the beer flight...all the beers here were so tasty! I loved the cotton candy sour I bought in cans to go! Wish I had bought a whole case. I guess that means I have to come back to Loveland Colorado!
Fairgrounds Park is a well-maintained recreational area that features BBQ pavilions, skate and dog parks, ball fields, playgrounds and fishing opportunities. Visitors can enjoy a scenic walk alongside the river before engaging in various activities such as playing ball or having a picnic under the pavilions. The park also serves as an ideal venue for events like graduations with permits available for alcohol consumption. Overall, Fairgrounds Park offers a diverse range of outdoor activities in a beautiful natural setting.
Love parking here while waiting for food delivery orders, perfect spot near town and the dirt lot is never too packed with people, so Im always able to sit and relax especially on slow days, also helpful to have the porta jon but it would be more helpful if people didnt sit in there and drink & do other substances that EVERYONE can smell and its not a nice plant smell if you know what i mean.. i try not to judge others and let others be them but when there is no bathroom available, and i have IBD, it definitely becomes frustrating. If we all respected each other, which includes those people picking up their own trash and using the several trash cans and dumpster nearby and keeping their choices away from others who may not agree with them, then those people wouldn't be as upset about the choices in the first place.

Always a fun place to go with the kids. There’s a splash pad, sand box, great views and plenty of shade for the parents on a hot day.
During the summer we enjoy the farmers market on Sundays and go swim in the river or play in the splash pad. The river runs right through the park!
The grounds guy is sharp and does a great job keeping the place up. Even when there’s events and the market place going on. I wish I knew his name but he seems to be the main maintenance/grounds guy there. Job well done.

One of my favorite places to hangout pretty much on a daily basis. You can round up your family for a sun fun day. You have the river to swim in, the water park to splash around, playground for the kiddos, dog park for all pooches, bbq grill and pavilion to hangout with family and friends. The best is the ball fields to watch a few games.
Christina Stebens — Google review
This is a nice place. Very tranquil with places for the kids to play and for the adults to BBQ. There's workout stations and even a skate park. Add to that several ball fields for baseball and softball as well as batting cages. The only thing missing is bathrooms. Don't get me wrong, there are bathrooms, they just have signs on the doors that say that the bathrooms are closed for the winter. What the french toast? What do they expect people to do when they're having a lovely picnic in the park with their kids are suddenly little Sally had to go pee? Now this makes no sense to me whatsoever. I sincerely hope that the park management reconsiders this decision and keeps the bathrooms open. I had to cut my lunch date short when my dining companion had to go find a bathroom that's open to the public and the nearest one was nearly a half mile away at the Circle K.

This is a very nice park with lots of things for kids less than 15. Others might be bored. The biggest problem that we have with it, is that completely close the restrooms during winter. They also have lots of picnic tables, and it bordersa creek/river. They have a water play area, which I assume is active during the summer months.

So I’m kind of an expert on German beer…the Pilsner isn’t quite German/European (really tough to do in the U.S.), but this is easily one of the best Pilsners in Colorado. The atmosphere is perfect for a small brewery…almost prototypical for how small ones should do it. But the selection is probably the best part of this place. Right now, they have 12 different beers on tap…I would wager the selection is better than even Pikes Peak Brewery. Does a brewery really need 6 different IPAs on tap?? Kudos to this one…they only have 3. Other breweries should learn from this one…excellent brewery, highly recommend!!!! Btw, the service here is awesome…love it.

Only issue was parking on the front side was packed but driving down near the railroad track there was plenty of parking.

The BEST beer in Colorado. possibly in the US. Excellent taproom, bartenders who know the craft and are happy to share their favorites and recommendations. Had nearly everything on the tap list, and everything was better than billed. Do not miss if you're in NoCo.
Big Beaver Brewing Co is a laid-back microbrewery and tasting room known for their house-made ales, stouts, and porters. The establishment boasts a friendly staff who are happy to provide recommendations on the distinct flavored beers that they offer. Patrons can enjoy their drinks on the outdoor patio or indoors.
Heard this place had the best brats in town and can now confirm. That's the least of the amazing offerings here, but you can expect spicy jalapenos, a robust mustard selection and I've been to Germany, these were "campfire" "esque" which really amplifies the experience. Definitely better than any brat I've had. . .in my life.
Now for the brewery - first off, amazing service from Ashleigh which after a hike was appreciated! The flight options are either pre-set or whatever you would like which is nice.
Their rotational Tropical IPA is what New Belgium WISHES their tropical IPAs could stand up to. Almost everything we tried (10 beers total) was immaculately thought out like the sweet baby Jesus. The music was SO much of a "vibe" that every time a song came on I was astonished and blown away. They played "Dirty Boots" by Sonic Youth as an example.
The branding can't be beat but has to be mentioned. If you want a laugh, a nice post hike meal and some amazing beer, this is the place to go. My only regret is not coming here sooner. It was so dam good!

The Rialto Theater Center is a former 1920s-era movie house that has been transformed into an airy performance space for various musical and theater acts. This great old theater boasts good acoustics with not a bad seat in the house, offering both main floor and balcony seating options. The upstairs bar area adds to the overall experience of seeing a live event at this solid venue, which also features padded seats and a new sound system.
This is a beautiful theatre in the heart of Loveland. They have concerts, comedy, movies, and even theater acts. Its historical charm is on display from the moment you enter. I highly recommend checking it out if you haven't already.

It's always a wonderful time at the Rialto. We saw a fun shortened version of The Nutcracker by our own local Canyon Concert Ballet. They helped me figure out if the tickets I overpaid for with a third party were real or not. They were, but suggested if I worried about the web site next time to just call their number directly to get them. Good advice for us all. I had a moment of frustration trying to be certain I was on the correct site and it was a third party. Be careful

Visited this brewhouse during our stay in Loveland. We tried a bunch of different beers which were great. Staff was also very friendly and helpful - also a great place for non-typical beer drinkers to give a try ;)

Loved hanging out here and grabbing some drinks and food on a Sunday afternoon. Plenty of space and couches for sitting. Tried their traditional bratwurst and potato salad. Loved the decor and vibes too!

An easy-to-like brewery. Very relaxed atmosphere. Beer choices galore - they brew at least a dozen varieties, and offer about the same number from other brewers. We tried 3 and liked 3. They have a full food menu too. The schnitzel was very good. We also got a sampler platter with a couple kinds of sausage, soft and tasty pretzels, and pulled pork - scratch that, they were out - 4 tiny wings (not an equivalent sub!). I like their system though; they give you a buzzer, and when it goes off you go pick up your food. Works well.
I don't really think it's appropriate for your 3 options for tip amount to be 18%, 20%, and 22% (?). So, if the service was horrible they deserve 18%, and if it was fantastic they deserve 22%? The amount of money we're talking about - our bill was around $90 - will get you a nice sit-down meal where courses are brought to you and your drink never runs dry. That's worth 20%. That's not the situation here though.

The beer is decent. I wish they had a better selection on the food and even at times on the beer. But it is a nice place to go and spend some time with friends. If you come on a Monday it is trivia night so you can play along and hopefully win some free beers.

So - we used to come here often when we lived in Colorado. We’ve since moved away and were visiting, so thought we’d stop in for some delicious beers. To say we felt completely unwelcome is an understatement. The person behind the bar gave the impression that they hated life, their job - and people in general. Such negative vibes! We left the bar to play trivia and, each time we tried to order more beers, nobody was at the bar. Of all the great breweries in Loveland, we chose Grimm - and completely regret that decision. After a trying travel day, we felt like a complete inconvenience and like we were unwelcome at Grimm. We definitely won’t be back next time we are in town.

Great New Location! Some kinks to work out…
As a longtime Grimm fan the new location has lots of potential! The beers remain excellent with old favorites like Snow Drop, Master Thief, and Queen Bee as well as delicious new brews like The Shroud. Over a few visits I have been impressed with the food offerings and cocktails now on the menu.
As others have commented, I am hoping the location can develop more dog friendly spaces as the spring arrives because the campus has lots of space for outdoor fun.
Most importantly, I am hoping the staff can solve the consistency of hours and offerings. Some friends and I planned a birthday gathering here the other night and arrived around 6:30 PM. We ordered an appetizer thinking we’d have plenty of time for dinner later but once the full group arrived at 7:15 and we went to order food the staff told us the kitchen had already closed since it was less than an hour before they were closing. The staff had decided to close earlier than the posted 9 PM close. I understand closing early, but staff hadn’t let our 7-top know. It was disappointing to have not had the chance to do a kitchen last call. We ended up going elsewhere to finish the evening’s celebration.
Hoping to re-review on another visit.

Browse artist, you won't be disappointed. Every Single one that I have tried has been awesome. Food is great and restaurant is in the brewery. If you want some great German beer, it is a great place.

The new Taproom is spacious. The food is awesome. Now, the beer. - best it’s been. The old traditional recipes are spot on and the new recipes are delicious and refreshing. If you haven’t been to Grimm Brothers in a while, you should make a point if stopping in and trying the food and enjoying the beer!

I have to admit that this review isn’t completely objective because I really loved the other location and staff, so I carry that with me as I write this review.
The location felt like another typical loud brewery with not very pleasant fluorescent lights at either end. It has no character, at least not yet. The beer menu was on the floor so if you’re at the bar you have to walk between people waiting in line to read it. They were out of the beer we wanted to take home, and the beer wasn’t nearly as good as we remember. Our favorites were from other breweries. Usually the Bleeding Heart makes me melt but I didn’t enjoy it this year. My top two food choices weren’t available so we got bangers and mash plus the brat… salty and underwhelming at best. Staff were nice and helpful.
Overall, I was torn between two and three stars and will review again next time I go back, but that won’t be for a while. Maybe they’ll figure out some of these things by then.

Quite possibly the best soup I’ve ever had! Buffalo wings also on point (as usual) and fantastic Grimm Beers!! Can’t wait for patio season here!

I gave it a 2 because I was so hungry and at least it kept me from fainting. Dinner service begins at 4 PM we have to wait 10 minutes to order it we ordered it 405 and they were already out of most of the things on their dinner menu . I'm showing you a picture of their bangers and mash, but wait they had no mashed potatoes. They substituted the Mac and cheese and then forgot the banger's part. We had ordered the schnitzel but wait they didn't have schnitzel or the mashed potatoes that go with the schnitzel. I ordered a Ruben instead but what I got was a salt sandwich topped with salt salad on salty Rye bread. Never again

A nice local feel to this place. No crowds, attentive staff and a great selection of unique German-style beers. Also have a couple of IPAs from Berthoud brewery, the new owners. The food choices are quite good. Traditional large pretzel with beer cheese, bratwurst and excellent paninis. But we loved the Mac and cheese - one with excellent brisket/BBQ sauce on top, the other loaded with grilled chicken and bacon.
Update. Went to the new brewery location in SW Loveland. Continued 5 star service and beer, but an incredible upgrade in the size and finishes of the site, and of the food options available. Comfortable seating in a huge space with multiple TVs. Burgers, wraps, sandwiches and salads all great. Great option for weekday lunch or evening meal

Exciting to have something on the west side of town that has lots of seating, full bar and yummy food. Looking forward to patio season and watching this place grow. Thanks to all the servers who are working hard to make this place special! Currently serving food for lunch and dinner.

Our recent event at Grimm Brothers was awesome! The staff’s warmth and efficiency set the tone for a great evening. The ambiance was vibrant yet cozy, creating a relaxed and energizing atmosphere. The catered food was wonderful! With an impressive drink selection, including craft beers and cocktails, there was something for everyone. Grimm Brothers exceeded our expectations with impeccable service, delicious food, and a welcoming atmosphere. We can't wait to return for another great experience! Cheers!🍻

They have an awesome event space. Their food was delicious and so were the drinks. I had a beer and a Chardonnay - both were great. The staff was so friendly and helpful. Their new space is inviting and looks modern. I highly recommend Grimm Brothers for date night, happy hour, events, etc! Love it here.
The most friendly yet professional employees I think I have ever encountered! These people knew their merchandise, inventory and made each customer feel like they were there to help with any purchase question. There is a good selection of clothing items and accessories and the store is kept in good clean condition. Kudos to the establishment!

I'm not 100% sure how these shop stay in business. The business is themselves are fine, but they are always almost empty, and there isn't a massive selection to draw a bunch of customers. That being said, I've never felt anything but welcome in any of the shops, and there are quite often some good discounts. One start off because accessing them from the highway is sort of a nightmare, but once you know how to get there it's no big deal. It is just non-intuitive.

Hardly any stores still open. Out of the few stores left there wasn't anything I was interested in purchasing. I like Sketchers but this locations variety was just sad. Same for the DXL we visited. The best thing I have to say is there was a popcorn vendor set up in the parking lot with the best kettle corn I've ever had.

This place delivers on being a great shopping experience. This outlet has better deals than some others in the area. It doesn't seem to be busy but I wasn't here in the weekend. I liked the sporting store and the chocolates place had some happy hour specials. Walking around was nice but it does feel like a disjointed shopping experience.

I went to the last gun show I was #2 to be checked out. I got 2 gun cases and over $180 in 38 special ammo for FREE,!! they didn't have the checkout set up properly my credit card got charged as cash so I didn't get charged, it was a steal well worth the $10 admission fee.over $200 in product for $10 !!! sometimes it pays to be first in line.

This place is damn near abandoned. So sad to see it let go like it has been. I was in the area from Denver and figured I'd stop in for some clothes. About 3 stores to choose from. Everything else is closed. How is the castle rock Outlets thriving and this thing is a wasteland.
I have utilized Meredith's training resources and have gained valuable knowledge from her. Living on the east coast with mules presents challenges due to the lack of accessible expertise, so I have taken it upon myself to gather as much information as possible. I am truly grateful for the abundance of resources she provides. Lucky Three Ranch, Inc. is an impressive facility led by a knowledgeable and skilled equestrian expert. It offers informative tours that provide insights into mules, horses, and life in general.
I have used Meredith's training tools and have learned so much from her. Living on the east coast with mules is challanging because there is very little hands on help in terms of expertise so I have had no choice but to arm myself with a much knowledge as possible and I'm so grateful for her resources.
