Things To Do
Pearl Street Mall
More than 1,000 businesses fill the red-brick, pedestrian-only thoroughfare, which runs along Pearl Street from 9th Street on the west end to 21st Street on the east end - and radiates to the streets and alleyways that surround it. Mary's Favorites: ArtMart, Mountain Sun, Boulder Arts & Crafts Gallery, Peppercorn Dylan's Favorites: Pearl St. Pub, Boulder Creek Bike Path, Boxcar Coffee, Full Cycle Bike Shop
Saturday: Boulder Farmers Market
Open Saturdays 8am - 2pm, the Boulder Farmers' Market is the perfect way to experience Boulder like a local. Not only are shoppers guaranteed the best selection of locally grown, seasonal produce, but you'll also find eggs, pastries, cheeses, spices, wine, and our personal favorite, hot sauce.
Boulder Dushanbe Teahouse
Handcrafted by artisans in Boulder's sister city of Dushanbe, the structure was shipped piece-by-piece from the Tajikistan city and assembled in Boulder. They serve international cuisine for breakfast, lunch, dinner and weekend brunch. Traditional afternoon tea features over 80 premium teas. In addition, they offer a full bar and patio seating along Boulder Creek.
Celestial Seasonings
Boulder loves their tea! During this free 30 minute tour, you’ll get a behind-the-scenes look how tea is made, from raw ingredients to finished products. Plus, experience unique attractions like the famous Mint Room, Tea Shop, and Celestial Café.
Banjo Billy's Ghost Tour
If you thought Boulder was weird, you don’t know the half of it. Hear folk lore, traditions, and history while sitting on a couch, recliner or saddle as the bus rolls through the core of Boulder. The tour is 90 minutes, feel free to pack your own beverages.
Chautauqua
The park sits right at the foot of Boulder’s quintessential Flatirons mountains. It encompasses the sprawling lawn of Chautauqua Park, the Auditorium and the Chautauqua Trailhead, from which 40 miles of hiking trails can be accessed. Our favorite hike here is Royal Arch - but it’s tough! Be sure to bring lots of water.
Mount Sanitas Trail
Less trafficked than the Flatirons, this is one of our favorite hikes in Boulder. While the trail is only 3.1 miles, you’ll gain 1,343 feet in elevation. It’s challenging but once you’re at the summit, you’ll have a birds-eye view of all of Boulder.
