Themes like a good time - Unique Colorado Venues for Summer Parties

The truth is, themed parties are more memorable, more enjoyable and make a longer lasting impression than non-themed events. However, coming up with an out-of-the-ordinary theme can sometimes prove challenging. Instead of brainstorming a theme and then finding a venue, why not let your venue “theme” your event?

Has your clients’ business been a wild ride this year? Plan their summer shindig at Elitch Gardens Theme + Water Park. Thrill rides, kid’s rides, a water park, live entertainment and more combine with a delicious catering menu, discounted tickets and special events to take your outing beyond amusing.

They say life is too short not to stop and smell the roses. That’s why your guests will value a team-appreciation event at the Denver Botanic Gardens. Enjoy the Offshoots Cafe where you’ll choose from  delicious menu items while attending special events and programs, or strolling the acres of natural areas, public gardens and thousands of plant species. That’s nothing to sniff at.

Team building and competition play out nicely on a golf course. Both The Club at Pradera and Heritage Eagle Bend Golf Club offer spectacular courses along with beautiful clubhouses featuring banquet space and mouthwatering dining.

If your focus is on risk-taking, we bet your bunch would love Bandimere Speedway. Guests thrill to heart-pounding professional and amateur drag racing with space for more than 23,000 spectators.

Keeping everyone focused and on track is easy when your themed event takes place on the Royal Gorge Route Railroad. This scenic excursion train journeys through the spectacular Royal Gorge. Special events include a Murder Mystery ride, Whitewater Festival Chase Train, Dinner Train or Breakfast Train, and more. This venue is a good fit if your corporate mission is “all aboard for success.”

Where else to do a little team building then at the home of Colorado’s favorite teams, Coors Field?  Unique event packages include tours of Coors Field, and the option to do dinner at home plate, cocktails in the visitor's clubhouse, parties in the Mountain Ranch Club or corporate meetings in the Super Suite Conference Center. 

Want to make your company summer picnic a family-friendly gathering? What better place than the Cheyenne Mountain Zoo? With its wonderful animals, stunning gardens, exhibits and attractions, there’s something for every age to enjoy. Or, bring the gang to the Butterfly Pavilion for a captivating visit with over 5000 animals. Featuring nature trails, a vast plant collection, and a “touch tank,” (the underwater version of a petting zoo) with live sea stars, horseshoe crabs and other invertebrates.
