This is an amazing park with lovely handicap accessible access to all sculptures and eating areas. Lovelier in summer months, and home to the annual International Sculpture in the Park held on the second weekend of August, it is a wonderful destination year round to take a brisk walk or leisurely stroll around the ponds. It is indeed one of Loveland's finest parks and each year they add several amazing sculptures so there is always a surprise

At Clueology Escape Rooms we invite you to experience the unthinkable and step away from reality for an hour. What would you do if put in certain situations? Could you escape? Could you save the world? Could you survive? We dare you to find out with us...

We've done two rooms at Clueology - one, involved a "journey to the center of the Earth" was not one of our favorites for lots of reasons, however, this room has now been taken down and a new one is up in it's place This month we did "The Bermuda Triangle" - as with all of Clueology's rooms, the set is excellent with lots of bells and whistles (in this case, literally), that make it more immersive and interesting than most. The Bermuda Triangle puzzle was well crafted, and there were many clues that could be solved at the same time, so all four of us (we did the room as a family), could be busy and enjoying ourselves at once. Parking is easy, and finding Clueology is relatively easy using any GPS system. There are some great Loveland restaurants within 10 minutes if you want to make a day out of it and drive up from Denver or down from Fort Collins - it's worth the trip. The staff is very friendly, and do a great job setting up the scene, and welcoming people that are new to the puzzle room world.

7. Devil's Backbone Nature Trail
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 234 reviews
Reviewed By traveling69bill - Denver, United States
Have been to this Nature Trail several times, most recently this fall. We'd had a couple of early fall snowstorms, and then melting, and hoped that the trail would be clear of ice/snow buildup. Thankfully, the sun cooperated by making the trail snow and ice free, and we went on a great 3 mile loop hike. As usual, the views to the east (fields and some development) give one a sense of openness; the views north and south allow you to see the remnants of what Denverites call the "Hogback" (the series of ridges resembling a hog's spine). Looking through the keyhole, or climbing some of the heights, allow you to see west to the ridges of the Rockies, and into Rocky Mountain national park. The Nature trail didn't provide any animal surprises: to see those one would need to go very early or perhaps at dusk, but the hike is a good one for all age groups.

Fun for the whole family! Staff is friendly, drinks are strong and the games are a lot of fun. Even if you aren't into pinball, they have Skeeball, air hockey, pac man, and a few others. The cheese dip is highly recommended! I've had my kids birthday parties and have gone out for adult time as well.
