Red Rocks Amphitheatre

Being water for the long walk that you are about to experience!! Be aware if you park down the hill, you will have to adventure up the mountain and it was an exhausting. But worth it for the first experience jsut wish someone would have warned us. Seeing the whole mountain and trail was awesome. Everyone had the same feeling walking up these steps. I would arrive early when sun is still out to be able to see the beautiful unbelievable view The most beautiful Mountain View when the sun hits the green. At night a whole different vibe you can't see the mountains. Wear comfortable shoes cause you will definitely be exhausted at the end of the night. The seating area is concrete.

Red Rocks Amphitheater is truly a magical place, and experiencing sunrise yoga there was unforgettable. I visited over the summer while staying with a friend in Denver, and it was my first time doing yoga--honestly, I couldn't have asked for a better introduction.The sight of the sun rising over the towering red rocks was breathtaking, casting a golden glow over the amphitheater packed with yogis. The energy was incredible, with everyone moving in sync as the cool morning air slowly warmed up. Even as a beginner, I felt completely at ease, soaking in the peaceful yet powerful atmosphere.Beyond the yoga itself, the amphitheater was impressively clean and well-maintained, and the views of Denver in the distance made the experience even more special. Whether you're into yoga or not, starting your morning at Red Rocks is a must. I'd do it again in a heartbeat!

Wow! This has to be one of the most beautiful place in America to attend a concert! You have to be in pretty good shape to climb the sloped sidewalk from the parking lot to all of the stairs to get to your seats. While there is an elevator inside, you still need to navigate stairs to get to your seats. There is also inclement weather, like high winds and torrential downpours, lightning, and thunder that you may have to contend with. I went to the KLove musical festival, which was a two day event, and on the first night we had to wait two hours for the concert to resume and they evacuated everyone to their cars because of the lightning! We were stuck in a serious deluge! There is food sold at the top of the venue and that's where the concert T-shirts were being sold too. The sound here is amazing! The views are spectacular! The seats are hard! Carved into the rock, you should bring a cushion if you prefer to sit for a concert. The stage is actually set in between two rock formations, and there are 2 giant rocks that jut out and above on each side of the amphitheater. Oddly, there aren't any places to stay that are close to this venue. I stayed with a friend and we had about a 45 minute drive there and back. You should go early if you want a close parking space in the too lot. They also offer shuttle bus service to the top entrance of the venue. If you are disabled, there are places for you to sit and view the concert at the top. You can also bring some snacks in and an unopened water bottle. I'm really glad I had the opportunity to see a concert here. I would definitely go back. One last thing, there is a historic museum that tells the history of Red Rocks Amphitheater and all of the musicians who performed here over the years! It is very cool, don't miss it!

Must visit if you visit Denver! Come in morning before 4pm, it's free It's beautiful nature that we couldn't imagine that's even exist :) Bring your own water or snacks, the walk steps are long and elevated, so you don't need to buy anything there (it's expensive:) The parking is huge too Enjoy the nature!

A must see if you are in the area. The amphitheater is historic and beautiful. The trail around and the surrounding areas are also great to go exploring. I went in a solo trip and it was nice to see how the space is used on a random Monday. People were exercising, lots of tourist, some local youth taking band pics, and an actual band doing a sound check on stage. Even with all that happening at once, space felt relaxed. Lots of photo opportunities and the staff are very friendly.

This gorgeous outdoor amphitheater is just one of the amazing sights to see if you're near Denver. I was able to enjoy this when I came for a visit. They usually have huge concerts or private events here and I can certainly see why. I've been in awe of such beautiful locations and this natural wonder is easily at the top of my list. If you're lucky enough to come here, be sure to stop by their visitor center so you can see some of the historic facts about Red Rocks. You'll love it as much as I did!

Visited this place on early summer morning, great place to see sunrise. We parked at the upper lot (pass thru The Tunnel to get to parking lot). It is so beautiful and easy trails surrounding the amphitheater. The red rock is the best God-made amphitheater, I wish I can come back to enjoy the concert one day.This is a must-go place for anyone visiting Denver.

Red Rocks Amphitheatre has been used for outdoor performances for over a century. Frankly, I feel it is one of the best venues in the country. If you have an opportunity to catch a band here, do it. Awesome views, awesome performances, awesome sound quality. NOT TO BE MISSED!There are plenty of options for lodging nearby or in Golden. From Golden, Red Rocks is a hop and a skip. Parking is a tiny bit disorganized (but I've see a lot worse), and it wasn't completely clear where we should go when we first arrived. But we finally found a good spot, under direction of the staff. Many folks were tailgating from their cars, which I wished we had planned for!From parking to the venue, be prepared for a long walk. There really is no way around it.We were stunned when we saw the venue. Nestled in a natural canyon of, yes, red rocks, bench seats sweep up from the stage quite high in the canyon. There really isn't a bad seat to be found, except the ones we got: right above the sound equipment! The view is slightly obstructed in these seats (albeit not terribly).All the seats are benches, and can be a bit uncomfortable for a lengthy concert. Some folks brought pillows and blankets (again, another idea we wished we had thought of), and others even brought small foldable "chairs" (proper chairs aren't allowed, but self-supporting seats are).We loved the concert, and were able to spend some time standing and swaying to the beat, with other times sitting and enjoying.Regarding food and drink, there's plenty available, but it can be a bit daunting getting to it if you're in the upper reaches, or lower, if you want the options up top. Be prepared for a walk and climb if you're grabbing either. But you'll enjoy it when you have it!Great venue! I hope to go again in the future!

Just an incredible landmark!!! Surrounded by giant red rocks, you walk in a theater suddenly that can sit almost 7,000 people. It's amazing what humans can achieve. Building a rock concert stage in the middle of giant rocks. On concert days the Amphitheater is closed about 2.5 hours before the show to general public. They only allow cars to the parking lots if you have tickets, else you have to walk. Not worth it in my opinion. Better turn back and come back next day to enjoy the site fully. It takes about half an hour or so to go around the pavilion and it's surrounding. There are stalls serving food and drinks during concert hours. The small museum catches the historical aspect of the theater. There's Colorado music hall of fame as well.

What a great setting and location. I want to come back here when there's a concert! We were just visiting the area and stopped by on our drive to visit someone. This is such a fantastic place for a bit of hiking as well as a bit of rest. We brought over some lunch which we were able to eat while seated in the amphitheater and enjoying the spectacular weather and views.The restrooms by the parking lot are immaculate and really nice. I love the large wooden doors, and the bathrooms themselves were clean and well functioning.They have a small museum (free admission) which is fun as well. Coming from California, not having to pay for parking, admission to the amphitheater, admission to the museum, etc. is a weird feeling - we love charging (a lot) for everything in California.If you're nearby, or better yet, if there's a concert, go and visit!
