Boulder City Guide
Top Things To Do
While you might not want to go scaling the Flatiron Mountains while you're in Boulder, you will want to get out and about to explore the city and find out what it has to offer. What will you find? In a nutshell, pedestrianized shopping streets, world-class museums, fantastic shopping precincts, amazingly characterful restaurants – some of which brew their own craft beer – and an atmosphere that will make you think twice about leaving.
Museums
Whether you like to visit museums dedicated to art, history, the natural world, or science, you'll find all of them in Boulder. Most won't allow you entry if you're carrying large-sized luggage so make sure you stow it safely in a Bounce luggage locker before you go.
- Boulder Museum of Contemporary Art: The Boulder Museum of Contemporary Art houses extensive collections of artwork by many different local as well as famous artists in a square-shaped building that does nothing for the eye. Inside it's different though and you'll be blown away by the exhibits both permanent and temporary as well as the occasional live dramatic or musical performance if you're lucky to be there when one is happening.
- Museum of Boulder: At the Museum of Boulder you can take an in-depth look at the past events and people that have made Boulder what it is today. The museum is dedicated to preserving the history of the city and making it accessible to both visitors and residents. The collection of artifacts, documents, and photographs number in their thousands and are related to Boulder in some way so be prepared to be completely intrigued by what you see there.
- University of Colorado Museum of Natural History: Fossils, dinosaur bones, domestic animal skeletons, stuffed birds, and dried-out fish. The diversity of the five-million-plus examples of flora and fauna at the University of Colorado Museum of Natural History is phenomenal. It is one of the largest natural history specimen collections in North America, if not in the world. If there's a dead animal or desiccated plant you've been dying to see up close, it's a fair bet you'll find a sample of it here.
Shopping
You'll need to keep a tight hold on your purse strings if you go shopping in Boise as there's far too much retail temptation to resist. Whichever part of the city you're in, unless it's in the middle of a park, the glitz, glamor, and goods will attract you like a magnet.
- Pearl Street Mall: It could take you a whole afternoon to see all the Pearl Street Mall has to offer. This mall in Downtown Boulder covers four pedestrianized blocks of the city with far too many stores to mention them all by name. Pearl Street also hosts regular sidewalk sales, live music and theater events, and even has its own discount card system accepted by all the businesses in the mall, so make sure you get one before you go.
- Twenty Ninth Street: When the sun is shining in Boulder there's no better place to go shopping than in the Twenty Ninth Street Mall. This massive mall is open-air and built around a plaza so has a continental feel to it. You'll find all the big-name stores there as well as smaller, one-off boutiques, lots of coffee shops and plenty of restaurants.
- Village Boulder Shopping Center: Help support local Boulder businesses by shopping at the Village Boulder Shopping Center.

- Snooze: Snooze is the place to head for when you want to start your day in Boulder on the right foot. They serve mostly breakfast and brunch at this eatery, but even though it is breakfast, it's a veritable feast.

If you can manage to get up from the table to go sightseeing after eating any of that – fair play to you.
