brendareed Says: We visited the Wildlife Experience with my two-year-old grandson. Having a small child with you definitely made this place more fun, although I think that the design and features of the museum would be a great experience for kids of all ages (including grandparents without...
brendareed Says: The primary natural land feature in Castle Rock is…the Castle Rock, a rock formation that towers over Interstate 25 and overlooks the old part of town. You can drive to and part at Rock Park (located at 1710 Front Street), which is the start of the 1.4 mile hike up the rock....
AVG2319 Says: Climb the Rock that is located in Castle Rock. This is an easy hike-a dirt path will lead you to the base of the Rock, from there you have to climb up the rock a short distance to reach the summit. There is no "defined" spot to start climbing-it is easiest on the Northeast...
AVG2319 Says: Nice views of the Rocky Mountains, Pikes Peak, and golf course below. Drive down the road a little farther to see buffalo and a nice view from atop the hill of denver. If you keep following the dirt road eventually turns back into pavement and ends out at highlands ranch...
Wine in the Pines and Music on the Green
signaturedishesofcol Says: Castle Pines (where the international golf tournament happens at the end of every summer) has a fairly new shopping area with a wine tasting on the second Wednesday of very month. For a $15.00 fee that goes to a charitable cause customers pick up a wine glass and enter shops...
signaturedishesofcol Says: Can you think of anything you can take your children to do anymore that will only cost you a penny? If you go to King Soopers right off I-25 at Meadows/Founders exit in Castle Rock, you can get a free cookie and ride the electronic pony.

Castle Cafe and Bar: Famous Pan Fried Chicken and More
Stephen-KarenConn Says: Since the 1890's Castle Cafe and Bar has been at the geographical and social heart of Castle Rock. We had dinner here one evening with our son, Christopher, and his family, and enjoyed ourselves thoroughly.Back in the days of the wild west this was a gathering place for...
B&B Cafe: Don't Miss the Bullet Hole in the Ceiling
Stephen-KarenConn Says: As Karen and I cruised through downtown Castle Rock looking for a place to have lunch, the words "Home Made Pies" on the B&B Cafe sign caught my attention. I love homemade pie, so we parked our pickup truck and went in. We soon learned that this restaurant is a hometown...
AVG2319 Says: We actually ordered take out here-Gyro Sandwich. Which was good and we would defenitely eat here again. Restaurant is nice, but interesting cause it looks like a house. Look for the stucco house with the awning on the far left side. It has a "trendy industrial interior" with...
Pegasus Restaurant: Chiles Rellenos from a Greek Restaurant? Yep.
mikerobinsonpc Says: Pegasus Restaurant is located in the historic part of Castle Rock, CO. It has been in Castle Rock for about 20 years and over the past years its customers have driven the menu to feature more and more Mexican food. Under the guidance of head Chef Gabriel Torres, the mexican...
Patty's Cafe de France: Creme Brulee is hot item at Patty's Cafe de France
mikerobinsonpc Says: Patty's Cafe de France is located right off of Exit 186 of I-25 in Castle Pines North. It is an intimate place that serves "French/American" cuisine. It is clean, attactive and artistic and the food matches the ambience. Patty Higginbotham, the owner/operator, spends most of...
Mt. Fuji Japanese Cuisine: Golden Mango Sushi in Castle Rock, CO
mikerobinsonpc Says: Mt. Fuji Japanese Cuisine is a charming immaculate restaurant in Castle Rock, CO. It is really two restaurants in one. On one side it has two hibachi grills just like Benihanas with a hibachi chef that tosses his knives and food artfully into the air while making great food...
Castle Rock Bike & Ski: all your biking needs
brendareed Says: While I was visiting Castle Rock, I needed to get an inner tube for my husband's bike to bring back home with me (we were having trouble locating at home). I stopped by this shop and they were incredibly helpful. Since I only had a size, the clerk called her supervisor to...
Outlets at Castle Rock: Outlets at Castle Rock
brendareed Says: Just off I-25 in Castle Rock are the Outlets at Castle Rock, a grouping of more than 120 brand name shops as well as places to eat. If you are into shopping and like saving money, you will want to stop by this place. When we stopped here, we were after a specific item and...
Helpfulness
Although there is a well graded and very popular trail to the base of Castle Rock, there is no trail to the summit of the rock itself, and those who dare to climb it will find no guardrail at the top. We started to make the climb but turned back when we realized that we were taking too big a risk. We do not recommend the climb to anyone who is not very fit and does not have rock climbing experience. A white cross at the base of the rock indicates that at least one person has died here.

Test the waters in Manitou, a short trip away
signaturedishesofcol Says: Just a short trip south of Castle Rock is a lovely hippy like town called Manitou Springs. There are a dozen or more natural occuring springs that you can taste. Take along your own cup and start at the welcome center for a map. Part of the fun of it is finding the springs...
leafmcgowan Says: It's been awhile since I've attended a Renaissance Faire, and those that I did attend, were not permanent structures and so well organized as Colorado's in historic Castle Rock. Large castle of enchantment with many village squares, stores, keeps, a museum, a maze, a...
Helpfulness
One of the most interesting things we did in Castle Rock was to spend a leisurely two hours hiking up to the base of the rock and back. The easy to moderate trail is located within the 60 acre Rock Park. Our six year old grandaughter made it up the same trail with her first grade class.
At the base of the rock there are benches, spectacular views in all directions, and a wide trail that completely encircles the rock. At the park you will also find picnic tables and shelters.
Rock Park is open daily, but is closed from sunset to sunrise. There is no admission charge.

One of America's Fastest Growing Communities
Stephen-KarenConn Says: One of the things we liked best about Castle Rock is that it retains a lot of small town quaintness and charm, although it is rapidly becoming a bedroom community for people who work in Denver. The town has grown from a population of 3,900 in 1980 to more than 30,000 in...
Four Season Climate and Mostly Sunny Skies
Stephen-KarenConn Says: In my mind Castle Rock has a near perfect four season climate. Summer days can get hot, but the low humidity (40% average) makes them bearable. The annual rainfall is less than 15 inches, but the streams and melting snows from the nearby mountains provide plenty of water -...
