Things To Do
Chautauqua Park
Chautauqua Park- Sunrise-11pm If you are looking for a local hiking area, this is the place! Chautauqua is nestled up to Boulder’s Iconic Flatirons. There are many hiking trails to choose from depending on skill and experience level. The park is also home to one of the country’s “Chautauquas” which was a late 19th century movement to bring culture and education to rural areas of the United States. After your hike, grab lunch at Chautauqua Dining Hall for a step back in time.
Boulder Farmers Market
The Farmer's market is from 8am-2pm Saturday with Food Vendors, Music and Local Artists. Great for a pre wedding stroll to get into the heart of Boulder, hear some live music and grab a quick bite to eat!
The Boulder Dushanbe Teahouse
The Boulder Tea House is directly adjacent to the farmer’s market and a must see when you visit Boulder! Stop in for a specialty tea to go or stay for a yummy brunch in this beautiful spot.
Nederland
If you are looking to get out of town and into the mountains, a quick 25 minute drive up the canyon will land you in the quirky mountain town of Nederland, CO. If you are looking for something adventurous, a hike in Indian Peaks Wilderness is what you should do. Hopefully you will get to “peep” some of Colorado’s golden aspen trees if the timing is right. Just along for the drive? Check out Cross Cut Pizza for the best pizza ever and a cold Colorado craft beer!
Pearl Street Mall
Want to shop? Pearl Street Mall is where you should go to explore local shops and restaurants that run the length of Pearl Street which is the hub of downtown Boulder. The concentration of shopping and restaurants starts at about 17th street and continues West (towards the mountains!) until you reach 9th street.
The Buff
Lucky for you if you are staying at The Boulder Marriott, this legendary Boulder brunch spot is in your backyard! Expect a wait on the weekend but, it’s worth it for their food and .99 cent brunch cocktails... maybe do this one the day after the wedding.... :)
Snooze, an A.M. Eatery
There's a reason why Snooze is always busy! Stop here to fuel up before you walk around downtown Boulder. Pancakes for the table are highly encouraged.
Avanti Food and Beverage, Boulder
Highly recommend this food hall for larger groups that are looking for a diverse selection of bites! Did we mention it has a rooftop?? Did you know the afternoon weather here is usually gorgeous in warm into late September?
T/aco
Who could be mad about tacos and margs? T/aco has to best taco combinations and their margaritas are not to be missed!
License No. 1
This cozy speakeasy (yes it was an operating speakeasy once upon a time!) is the perfect place to grab a craft cocktail. It's so inviting we don't blame you if you stay until close..
The Velvet Elk Lounge
Check out The Velvet Elk lounge for live music every night and one of their creative libations. They are open until 12am!
