Red Rocks Amphitheatre & Park
Tourism Star Award Recipient — 2003
Since 1941, Red Rocks Amphitheatre has been one of Denver’s top attractions, but in 2003 the spectacular concert venue entered a new era with the opening of the new 30,000 square foot Visitor Center and Museum. Built to harmonize with the beauty of the surroundings, the new center will become a premium location for receptions, meetings and conferences, accommodating up to 2,000 people. The new Ship Rock Grille will become one of Denver’s most unique restaurants. A new Hall of Fame gallery will tell the geological history of the rocks…and the history of the rock ‘n roll that has taken place here. The new visitor center will be open year-round and will offer coordinated tours between Red Rocks and the Coors Brewery in Golden and Dinosaur Ridge in Morrison for a genuine Colorado adventure.
