7 Reasons Why Boondocks Colorado is the Ultimate Family Destination for Fun and Entertainment!

Have you been looking for an experience that will leave your whole family with smiles and lasting memories? Look no further than Boondocks Colorado, where you will find activities for all ages. Enjoy some bowling, the thrilling ropes course, whimsical miniature golf and more, sure to leave everyone happy and laughing. Our recent visit turned into a “best day ever” experience as the kids dashed from one attraction to another, their joy contagious. With two locations to choose from and the 7 reasons outlined below, Boondocks is the perfect spot for a day of family bonding.

A big thank you to Boondocks Colorado for hosting us and sponsoring this article–your ultimate destination for food and fun, welcoming guests of all ages year-round! Visit their website and explore one of their two exciting locations in Parker or Northglenn!

Colorado Locations:

#1 Rev Up the Excitement with Go Karts!

As long as the weather cooperates, the Go Karts and many other outdoor attractions are open year round! There are two courses available, one for “Rookies” and one for adult drivers. The Rookies need to be between 48-58″ tall and it was awesome to watch my 10 year old take the wheel for the first time! We went on a November evening and enjoyed very short lines for our chance to drive.

#2 Conquer New Heights on the Ropes Course!

If you have driven along I-25, south of 120th Ave, you have seen the Boondocks ropes course. What you may not know is that during the winter, as long as there isn’t snow or other weather elements to contend with, it is open long past sunset. The lights come on and it was such a cool experience for everyone! It is easy to transfer from one obstacle to the next, and if you can handle the heights, the top level has a zipline to fly across. My kids could’ve stayed up there for hours!

#3 Test Your Putting Skills at Miniature Golf!

There are two 18-hole miniature golf courses located outside Boondocks to choose between. We loved all of the scenery along the way, from the bridges to detailed houses and even a cave!

#4 Challenge Your Family in a Game of Bowling!

The bowling alley at Boondocks is unique with its “dark-mode bowling” of stylish neon lighting. Each lane allows you to choose your players, snap a pic and select if bumpers will be used, all making it exciting to see it’s your turn and allow for younger kids to try with bumpers. There are huge 25-foot-wide projection video screens along the wall, as well as music pumping through the speakers. Just like the website states, “it’s an immersive entertainment experience!”

#5 Choose Your Side in Laser Tag!

The laser tag experience takes place in a two-story playing field with a maze of obstacles. This was a blast with our family, however, it’d be even more fun with a large group of friends or a birthday party.

Tip: Check in with the laser tag area to see when upcoming games will start. You can use your arcade card while you wait if there isn’t a line!

#6 Rack up some Tickets in the Arcade!

The arcade has a bit of everything with driving games, claw machines, sports games and more. Many games give you tickets (saved onto your playing card so don’t lose it!) to use to trade for candy and prizes at the end of your visit. My favorites are the ones where coins and cards get pushed until they fall 🙂

*From November 1st, 2024 to January 6th, 2025, experience “Arcade Play Madness” where you’ll get $50 in arcade play for just $25!

#7 Complete Your Visit with Delicious Food & Drinks!

There are a few options for snacking at Boondocks and even a restaurant and bar for a full meal. Not wanting to take a break from the fun, we chose to order food during our game of bowling, and I was able to get a delightful Watermelon Basil Margarita while the kids were zipping through the arcade. The mac & cheese bites were an instant favorite among the family, especially with the creamy tomato dipping sauce. Beware, they do have some jalapeno so they might be a bit spicier than your littles expect.

Tip: Check out the combo deals! These deals include pizza, entree or sharables AND $$ toward arcade play!

We can’t wait to hear how you like the activities at Boondocks! Tag @slidesandsunshine and @boondocks_co for your chance to be featured in our stories!

Thanks for joining us at Slides & Sunshine. Now it’s time to get out there and PLAY!
