ARAMARK Refreshment Services/ Red Rocks Amphitheater Reviews

It's the best concert venue in the state, and possibly the country. Great acoustics and view. The only thing that causes me to dock a star is the parking. Over the last year they seem to have brought in a parking contractor, and they've completely ruined tailgating. You used to be able to more or less pick your lot, with some obvious set-asides for accessibility. The early bird could get the worm, and tailgate in a great spot. Now, they seemingly randomly cut off access to the upper lots, making people park on the road before they open the lots. If you show up late, you may actually get better access to parking locations than people who planned ahead. PLEASE go back to the way you were doing it!

Had a blast, blew my mind the views are breathtaking nd the theater omg

Beautiful hiking trails! Went there in the early evening and it was definitely the place to be! There were small groups out hiking and lots of people running and exercising on the amphitheater steps. Trail map was easy to find and download to my phone

One of the best places to see a concert in the world. Absolutely jaw dropping natural amphitheater. If you enjoy music make sure you go, a definite bucket list event. If music is not your jam you can just drive up and walk around for free

Wish I could have gone to a concert here. Still an amazing place to see.

Haven't seen a concert here yet. But it's a fun place to workout. If you run/walk each row from the top down to about the 17th row, you'll have traveled roughly 2 miles. Run the surrounding trails and explore the area.

If you're ever going to be in the area and there is a band you are remotely interested in.... I highly recommend seeing a concert here! This has to be the most unique amazing concert venue in the country!

Great place. Definitely worth it even if there s no show going on.

Absolutely stunning scenery, great for workout groups and concerts if you want to attend one. They have food during events and in the welcome center.

Loved it! Could not enter due to a on going concert. Check before you arrive.

Went to see a show at Red Rocks and the only words I can use for this place is just breathtaking. Absolutely gorgeous to be at as the sun sets and even better at night with the light fixtures on the rocks.

Outstanding view to downtown of Denver, easy parking and very close to nucebtrails.

Wow. Amazing location. Dare not attempt this locale if you just flew in from a lower land or are weak in the knees. It is worth the effort though!!

What a great experience watching a concert here! 12 out of 10 would do again.

Amazing outdoor venue in a beautiful park, that you're free to roam about or workout in when there's not a show. New additions to upper level parking, and expanded bathroons are a very welcome addition to this busy park!

One of the greatest venues I've been to if not the best. Nothing like being out in the outdoors and watching a good performance. Friendly people around you and good place to walk around. Definitely a 10/10.

Cool place. Worth a visit on a day there isn't a show.

Beautiful venue. Prepare for a hike - wear tennis shoes!

Place place to practice yoga at 7am and of course attend a concert! Parking in the upper north lot is the easiest if you can get it.

Great place to see music! Grest for hikes and working out! Gorgeous views of denver!

Great place for stargazing and meteorite spotting if you want a natural windbreak that's closet to home.

It was very cool going on a Sunday and seeing everyone working out there.

Great concert venue. Challenging walk up. Fantastic views

Place is really cool. I love the red rocks that all over. The sound here is excellent

Extraordinary place very very nice something you must visit if you come to Denver.

Amazing place to see a concert. It should be on your bucket list if you love live music.

BEST PLACE EVER... ONEREPUBLIC YOU GUYS DID AMAZING TONIGHT KEEP IT UP GOOD JOB!!!!

Amazing views, fun history, great hikes, friendly staff.

Great place for a hike or some hill climbs on bike. Beautiful area! Runners can get a good hill repeats workout also. The 1.5 mile trail is easy and takes about 30 minutes, super kid friendly. We were visiting and took the kids here for a quick hike and they all enjoyed it. Definitely recommend to anyone with a few hours to kill.

Everything I had hoped for and more. The views are fantastic and the acoustics were awesome. The crowd energy was amazing. I have seen nothing like it.
When I bought the tickets, I opted to purchase the shuttle from Denver's Union station. I was happy I did, traffic up there is pretty tight. One note, the shuttle buses park in the lower lot 2 so there is a hike to the venue. You can catch a free shuttle from the trading post, but you have to get to the post from the lower lot. There is a sidewalk and a mild incline to the post, the incline gets steeper from the post up.
If you choose to hoof it up, there is about 170 stair steps (taking the right hand route) to the stage (with great views along the way). Because you walk back to the bus after the concert you tend to get out of traffic earlier.

Red Rocks is my favorite place on planet Earth. I'm a native of Morrison (the quaint mountain town down the hill from the venue) and I can verify all the wonderful reviews here are true. There are SO many things to do: Concerts (of course), movies, hiking, huge outdoor yoga and fitness classes, exploring the awesome music museum, dining, driving through unique rock formations, fossil hunting, spelunking, running the stairs, the trails and the roads, visiting the rustic Trading Post shop... You can even get married! (There's a stunning wedding chapel on the southeast edge of the park). My high school graduation, first kiss, wedding and the baptism of our son all happened at Red Rocks. Right outside the park in the canyon there is fantastic rock climbing/bouldering, fishing, tubing and rafting, with spectacular dining and shopping in the historic town of Morrison. Down the road there is summer drag racing at Bandimere Speedway. A person could quite easily stay a week and not run out of epic adventures. And you thought Red Rocks was 'just' a world class, spellbinding, move-you-to-tears-beautiful amphitheater!

Great venue and the morning sun rises are the best.

Absolutely happy to visit this beautiful place! We walked our way from bottom to top it was totally worth it! I'm planning to be back on the spring

Beautiful! I cannot wait to go to a show here sometime!!

Simply the best place, maybe in the WORLD, bar none, to experience music. And I've been the Sydney Opera House in Australia and Royal Albert Hall in London, UK. Nothing beats having the backdrop of breathtaking natural beauty surrounding you!

What a beautiful venue. I stopped by here after finishing a job one day when it was sunny and about 65f. Beautiful view of the city and would love to see a concert here. Very clean and safe feeling. Ample parking. Signs make it easy to get in and out.

Great place to visit. Even better to watch a concert!

Beautiful view and walking trails. The trails aren't overly long, there is a good amount of uphill, but it's not bad. The visitors center is also nice, there is a hall all about the people who have played at the amphitheater as well as events occasionally. I was there for the hiking rather than the music, which seems to happen almost every night. Its busier here on weekends, though its spread out enough that you wont be squished. Overall this is a really nice place to come by to enjoy some entertainment or some wonderful hiking trails! The rocks and view are really really pretty!

What an awesome venue. If you're ever in the area it's a must stop

Fully submerged in nature! Best views of Denver skyline. The museum was full of information and well put together. Must revisit every time I'm in Denver.

Amazing, I love that they let you come in and work out when they don't have events

Awesome place, need to get here for a show. Has beautiful views

It was completely amazing. worth the time the money the effort the hike. you have to see it no pictures no words can explain it you have to see it. Go see your favorite band. Whoever it was that came up with the idea for this place to be an Amphitheater was truly a genius.

Such a fun place to visit. Breathtaking views! Fun to walk/run up and down. Also enjoyed an art exhibit when we were there. Be careful to check open times, since they close early on days there are concerts.

Drinks, food, music. Much more variety than I was expecting.

Great little trail to walk around and a nice enough looking venue. I was only in town for a few days and didn't see a concert but we wanted to go hiking. Don't do what we did and start at the bottom and run up. If you aren't adjusted to the atmosphere, even if fit, it'll still gas you quick. Other than that it was a beautiful area. Next time I'd try to catch a concert there.

Such a beautiful venue, this should be a bucket list item for everyone!

This venue is hard to beat anywhere. I've always had amazing concerts here, and I highly recommend it to anyone visiting the city. It's beautiful, fun, and really just overall amazing. Bad thing: the parking is absolutely atrocious after the concert. We spent an hour just trying to get out of the parking lot, and we were among the lucky ones. There's no public transit, either.

Absolutely breathtaking scenery. Would love to see a show here.

I don t think there s anything negative you could say about this gorgeous venue. Been here countless times for concerts and yoga on the rocks. Simply gorgeous.

Beautiful location!! Loved the evening! Thank God for the scenery...and for the taxi drivers that were available for the 2 mile (ish) walk from our far away parking location into the Amphitheater. Crazy amount of exercise... specifically, as I have asthma.

Hands down the best outdoor amphitheater on this planet! A must see bucket list destination!

What can you say... its Red Rocks, one of the most amazing concert venues there is. The only drawback is be prepared for a serious hike in unless you get there really early to find close in parking.

Easy 1.5 miles hike. We heard the band warming up during our hike. There is a gift shop and music hall of fame at the trail head.

Great place for concerts, working out , or just site seeing. I hike & always noticed something I didn t see before. Great stress reliever

Amazing hikes and scenery. Highly recommend to anyone that loves the outdoors or geology.

Saw AJR and Cold War Kids. Such an amazing venue! 15/10 would recommend! Booze is pricey, best to pregame! Make sure to get on the free shuttle to the top!! Even during the day it's great to visit. There's a museum and incredible great views, hiking and exercise groups. Must-See for tourists and new Denverites

Words can't explain how beautiful this is. God's creation at its best. Pictures don't do justice. Hike is about an hour 1.4 miles the most. Very easy and scenic drive as well.

Absolutely beautiful for a concert. Very good acoustics and vibe.

Wow. This is the coolest venue I have ever seen. The sound was amazing as was the experience itself. What a landscape. We Saw Bob Moses and they were perfect. I can't wait to fly back and see another show. I am blown away. No picture can do it justice. Bucket Lister for sure!

Super concert location. Spectacular scenery and great sound acoustic. Loved the place.

Red Rocks is absolutely amazing! There's not many places I've been that can truly take my breath away like Red Rocks does! A must hit site if you're in the Denver area!

Have been going here every trip to Denver!!!

We ran up and down the stands!!!

Hiked the upper loop closer to the new bathrooms and parking lot. It was the best hike and activity to get us mid-westerners used to the altitude!!!

This is a must do for anyone whom lives or visiting our state! So many wonderful things to do, terrific experiences!

What an absolute beautiful place. I have heard about this venue for years and was finally able to make it with my family. Its worth the drive , worth the climb. Once you are there the absolute awe and wonder. I can only imagine actually hearing a concert here.

This place had always been a bucket list venue of mine. I got to go to Rezz Rocks there finally, and it was magical. I Will definitely be going again!

Except I'll try not to forget where I parked my car this time. If you don't know the area and don't park in a lot you could get lost looking for your ride

Love love love! This is not just the sweetest concert venue I know of, but also one of the most amazing places I've been to, period. Be prepared for lots of walking uphill just to get to the gate, and plenty of stairs once you get inside. You can generally enter the venue with an unopened water bottle up to 1 liter, depending on the event. You will be in the sun until evening, so for big events like concerts I suggest bringing more water to drink while walking to the entrance and waiting in line

Our most favorite venue for concerts...great acoustics...under a canopy of stars...absolutely incredible!! We even stayed in rain and got soaked seeing some great bands..Good drinks...but thirst quenching..especially on hot nights...Love doing the 9/11 Stairclimb as well...been doing it for 6 years....Thankful to be a part of this....Love my Colorado...native here..

Was visiting Denver on a road trip and went to a show here because I always heard so much hype about this place. I will tell you what this place lived up to all the hype I have heard about it over the years. It was a great show and amazing views. Would recommend this place to people to see. Even if you are not visiting it for a concert.

Truly one of the most beautiful outdoor amphitheaters! Design of the stage and setup puts you in touch with nature in a way. Don't miss the gift shop which is sort of hidden. The gift shop has full history and cool pictures of initial construction and carving of the rocks. Get ready for those steps though with comfortable shoes!

Great sound and atmosphere! There really isn't a bad seat in the house. From the parking lots until getting to your seats will be a hike. Be prepared. Bring food, water, and supplies for the hike! Just kidding... somewhat. You'll love it here

This venue is larger than life. I would say it's almost impossible to come here (for any reason) and have a bad time. Concessions are fairly priced for any venue, parking is free, and the views are nothing short of extraordinary.

Experience of a lifetime. Illenium and Blanke performing.

Hotdog here is no joke! The venue itself is pretty cool too, I guess

My all time favorite concert venue! Truly one of a kind. The views, the vibes and the sound are unmatched by any other venue!!! Generally a great drink and food selection but you can take your own food in, check out guidelines online before you plan your visit. And the staff are always friendly and helpful!

Went when there wasn't a show going on, it is still very fun to see it and you can go on stage.

Awesome place for a concert, movie, or as I did today, just exercising. Great job by Denver's city fathers to have the foresight to build a park here!
