What to do and see in Frisco, Colorado (CO): The Best Things to do Adventurous

January 28, 2022 Yuk Petri

Frisco in Colorado is a small town close to several ski resorts. With fantastic scope for skiing and other outdoor pursuits as well as being a great base from which to explore Colorado and the Rocky Mountains, Frisco describes itself as the Main Street of the Rockies, and is a great place for a family holiday.The first stop for many tourists in Frisco will be the Frisco Nordic Center at the Peninsula Recreation Area, with facilities for skating, cross country skiing and snowshoeing throughout the winter months. The Breckenridge and Copper Mountain ski resorts are also nearby and provide all sorts of skiing and snowboarding opportunities. Any outdoor enthusiast will certainly find a huge range of ski trails and activities for all levels of experience and ability. If you're feeling particularly adventurous, you can even take the whole family white water rafting! In the evenings, Frisco is a small town, but contains an impressive number of restaurants, shops and nightlife. And if you need a break from the slopes, the Frisco Historic Park & Museum is great for kids, a collection of preserved and reconstructed historic buildings which chart Frisco's development from trapper camp to mining town to its present day tourist haven.

Frisco Escape Room

Frisco Escape Room is a fun, challenging, immersive, interactive game experience.While it looks like an ordinary room, it’s actually a puzzle. During your adventure in our escapes, you will find yourself flexing your brain and looking in nooks and crannies you never even noticed. Find the hidden objects, figure out the clues and solve the puzzles to earn your freedom.

We did the Finders Keepers room with two teenagers, two parents, and a grandmother. We've done multiple escape rooms in different states and countries, and this one was very clever and well done. The introduction and explanation was very helpful, and the hints did not give anything away (we still had to work at the puzzle after a hint was shared.) I would highly recommend this as a fun activity away from your outdoor adventures in Frisco.

Frisco Adventure Park

The Frisco Adventure Park is minutes from Frisco's charming Main Street, and in the winter, hosts a lift assisted tubing hill and a beginner ski/ride hill, as well as over 45k of cross-country ski/snowshoe trails and horse drawn sleigh ride dinners. The beginner ski/ride hill located adjacent to the tubing hill offers lessons taught by Copper Mountain instructors in the most laid back and easy going environment possible- a friendly surface lift to get you up the hill, a cozy lodge, free parking right next to the hill and instructors who will help you graduate to the "big mountain" at Copper. But remember- you can tackle this hill without instructors if you choose, and it is perfect for kids and adults alike. The Adventure Park sits on the beautiful Frisco Peninsula and is surrounded by Dillon Reservoir affording unforgettable water and mountain views in every direction. And in the summer, the Frisco Adventure Park boasts great free amenities including miles of mountain biking/hiking/running trails, a bike park, a skate park and a disc golf course. Camping is also available on National Forest Service land on the Peninsula. The Adventure Park Day Lodge offers free bathrooms and a comfortable base camp for activities year-round and hosts special and private events including weddings, family reunions, bike/running races and birthdays.

Went tubing with wife and 19 & 16 yo boys. Was a lot of fun! Conveyor belt a must to bring you to top, and the speed you get on the lanes are fun! Covid restrictions applied, so reservations are needed which is great because it didn’t feel overcrowded at all. Would recommend for family fun!

Gatherhouse

GatherHouse Glassblowing Studio & Gallery is located in beautiful downtown Frisco, Colorado.It is the working artist's studio of John Hudnut. John teaches classes and gives free public demonstrations on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday afternoons. Fascinating for all ages.

I went to the John’s class because I love glass blowing. My wife signed me up so I took 5 of my kids (12,12,10,9 and 8). When we got there, John asked if I would rather it be all 5 of the kids instead of just me. I was VERY apprehensive because the Glory Hole is over 1600 degrees and my kids are often clumsy. I decided to let him give it a whirl with the kids and I was so glad I did. I have done a glass blowing class before (in Seattle) but it wasn’t worth someone nearly as experienced as John. He was more hands on with the kids than my previous class was with me. My 12 year olds were thrilled to be the apprentices and they were often going back and forth to the Glory Hole with molten glass. Then, my 10 year old with special needs was asked to use the blow torch to heat the glass! I don’t trust my kid with a butter knife much less a blow torch, but John instructed him what to do and my son did perfectly. Even my 8 year old daughter got to pull her own glass and made a killer whale as she pulled the molten glass and turned it as well. Like I said, 5 stars is not enough to give John. He was amazing and instructive. He helped each of my kids feel a part of the action and made me feel at peace with it all. Then, after all is said and done, we have several pieces of blown glass that my kids made themselves and several other pieces that he had on display because my wife and I love blown glass. It was phenomenal and if you are wondering if you should do it, YES would be the answer!!!

Rented a 2 seater Polaris Razor end of July and had a BLAST! The give you everything you need - just bring some clean dry clothes, food and water - toss it in a garbage bag and tie it down! The price was just right! We could tell that mountain goats frequent the top of Georgia Pass as their fur was everywhere but did not see any on this trip. Will definitely rent from them again. Nice to see that this is a female owned business. :-)
