What to eat in Thornton!
Colorado as a whole has some of the best culinary offerings in the country (as any Coloradan will happily tell you) and Thornton is no different. Here you will find a small but perfectly formed selection of cuisines and venues to suit every taste. Go for brunch at Doug's Diner in Hilltop Village, and see how good a breakfast burrito can really be. There's plenty of Americana diner food and then some. Heaps of hashbrowns are piled with cheese, meats, and other toppings. Then, stop off at the aptly named Vietnamese Cafe on 104th Ave for some hearty, healthy noodle soups, as well as fried appetizers and silky rice noodles. Then, treat yourself to dinner and a drink at Tequila's Family Mexican Restaurant.
Art and culture
For lovers of art and culture in Thornton, there's plenty to see and do. Head down during June for the annual Art Skills Drawing Camp at Thornton Arts and Culture Center, great for kids and adults of all ages and a great way to meet locals. There are plenty of music events throughout the year, and both Boulder and Denver are just a stone's throw away for more famous acts.
Colorado has a very proud craft beer culture, so be sure to get recommendations from local bartenders for their favorite brews. We recommend the Mother Tucker brewery in Thorton, but you could absolutely make a tour of the local breweries a part of your trip.
Kids will love Thorton
Families will never run out of things to do in Thornton. For rainy days, AMF Sonesta Lanes offers not only bowling lanes, but also regulation sized beach volleyball courts with sand! Adults will be entertained too, as both spots have their own bar. During fall, head down to The Crazed Corn Field Maze where a 20-acre corn maze awaits! Kids of all ages can also have a go at hay rides, various arts, and crafts, and flock up and down the large pumpkin field, where guests can take their favorite home!
Pecos Park is another popular spot, and completely free! This calm, clean, and well-maintained public park has a bunch of fun swings, slides, and walking trails. It's a great spot for a family picnic, too! Or take a day trip to the Denver Botanic Gardens at either of their locations. There's a rotating schedule of events, so check the site in advance. There's always something for kids to do, touch, and learn!
Excursions and day trips
Thornton and its surroundings are bursting with fun things to see and do for when you're looking to get out of your vacation rental for the day. The city of Boulder is only 18.8 miles away, putting you within half an hour of one of Colorado's most dynamic cities. Denver, the state capital, is only 9 miles away and is extremely cheap to get to, with tickets selling for 1 dollar or less. Both cities are known for their relaxed vibes, great art and culture, and gorgeous mountainous backgrounds.
Plentiful tour companies offer full or half-day tours and hikes up the Rocky's, with routes to suit all capabilities and ages. For something a little more unique, try The Complete Cannabis Tour through My 420 Tours! Here you will get to learn about the full process of cannabis production, from seed to finished product. The tour lasts 2 hours and culminates on the '420 bus' with some product sampling.
