Group Activities

20 Ideas for Group Activities in Boulder

1. Have a picnic in a mountain park. Choose Chautauqua Park at the base of the Flatirons or at the summit of Flagstaff Mountain for endless vistas of Boulder Valley.
2. Tap into Boulder's microbrew culture. Take the group on a Boulder beer tour to taste some delicious brews and to learn about the brewing process. The Boulder Brew Bus offers arrangements for private parties.
3. Get hands-on with Boulder beer. Brew your own beer or make your own wine at The Beer Store. You can even design your own labels for the bottles — a unique keepsake for attendees to take home.
4. Get to know the heart of Boulder. The Pearl Street Mall is truly Boulder's heart and soul. Your group will love strolling this beautiful pedestrian mall.
5. Steep your group in knowledge. Tour the Celestial Seasonings plant for a fascinating look at how all-natural ingredients become tea — and get to taste them all, too.
6. Take teatime to a new level. The Boulder Dushanbe Teahouse was hand-carved and shipped in pieces from Boulder's sister city, Dushanbe, in Tajikistan. Your group can admire the incredible workmanship while relaxing and sipping one of nearly 80 tea varieties served.
7. Take in a show at the historic Boulder Theater. Catch a live concert or a special event such as E-town, a nationally syndicated live radio variety show taped with a studio audience.
8. Get cookin'. The Culinary School of the Rockies provides the Corporate Kitchen cooking program. Groups create an incredible menu with direction from professional chefs famous in the Rocky Mountain Region — and then share the meal they have created together.

10. Meet the Bard. Dazzle your group with a performance under the stars at the Colorado Shakespeare Festival on the gorgeous University of Colorado campus.
11. Let Boulder be music to their ears. Treat them to a performance by the Boulder Chamber Orchestra, Boulder Philharmonic Orchestra, Boulder Symphony Orchestra or Colorado Light Opera.
12. Create atmosphere. Or at least learn about it at the National Center for Atmospheric Research where your group can see the world's fastest supercomputers, play with laboratory instruments and go on a nature walk overlooking Boulder.
13. Mead all about it. Learn about how mead, or honey wine, is made and how delicious it tastes at Redstone Meadery.
14. Let them indulge in some retail therapy. Twenty Ninth Street is an open-air shopping center with stores that will tempt any kind of shopper.
15. Treat them to true relaxation. Nowhere is better suited for enjoying Boulder's relaxing, laid-back vibe than one of our many spas. Spa days can be arranged for small groups.
16. Play like kids again. Gateway Park Fun Center's mini golf, batting cages, go karts and more will have them laughing so hard they'll hardly realize they are team building.
17. Fall for Boulder’s natural beauty. A scenic drive up Canyon Boulevard and a short hike take you to beautiful Boulder Falls.
