ARAMARK Refreshment Services/ Red Rocks Amphitheater Reviews

One of these days! I will attend a show here! Hopefully on a cool fall night! I did not get to see the full stage because we got there just before an event. The hiking was amazing and I wish we could have done more. The views are just to die for!

Great music venue and excellent hiking during the day :)

The amphitheater's rocks are named "Creation Rock" in the north and "Ship Rock" on the south and " Stage Rock" to the east. Red Rocks was designed by Denver architect Burnham Hoyt. They began building in 1937 and was completed in 1941.

There are 70 rows of wooden bench seating in the venue, including one row at the front and one in the rear with accessible seating options. I find that the best rows are 1-20.

Food and beers/ wines are available for sale here as well as T-shirt's for the particular band that's playing.

The sound in this venue is amazing. The amphitheater itself seats between two big slab of rocks. It acts like a giant headphone. The amphitheater's arrangement where the stage sits below the audience affords almost everybody a great view of the stage. Albeit the further up top you seat the smaller the band looks.

Here's a few of the "greats" that played in RR.
Radiohead in 2003, Jimi Hendrix 1968, The Beatles in 1964, Daft Punck 2007, The Grateful Dead 1978, John Denver 1974, U2 1983.

I've personally watched 21 Pilots, Norah Jones, and most recently Rebelution. I am still in awe every time. The light show plays a great deal into the night and rain or shine the audience seem to not mind at all.

RR's outstanding beauty is apparent during the day or night. Tourist and health conscious locals use the amphitheater for their exercise routine.

Ample parking but sometimes it's not enough. Or a far walk.

The above comment being the truth- i'd say it's worth the hike up. You're walking the same path that a few great bands walked in the past and made history.

I am lucky to live 5-10 minutes away. This is my playground and at night watching the lights lit up the red rocks I smile and almost always wish I'm there myself...

A concert here is on my buckelist. It's beautiful!!

Nice scenery for grandson's GRADUATION. Weather was cold & wet...BUMMER

Awesome venue. You re listening to music on a mountain. Fair prices for beer and food in my opinion.

The best spot for a concert. A very special spot to just go and be outside and explore. So much cool history and so many music legends that made magic here.

Works class outdoor amphitheater. Great place to enjoy live music, night sky, red rocks, view of the city, and some drinks

Unique in all the world ampitheatre, on par with the Greek theatre, Irish and Scots.

Rocks,roks and big rocks and obviously theater on the rock. If you like walking,hiking you will love the place. We parked at the base when there were a nly few cars but when we came after hours we couldn't locate our car... we enjoyed walking on the rocks and beautiful sceneries you can observe from there.

Incredible venue, a truly magical and unique experience. Get there EARLY!!! the hike up from the lower lots can be tough, especially if you're not used to the higher elevation and lower oxygen. Although they now have taxis at the bottom taking people up for $5/person. It's worth it!

Phenomenal concert venue. Amazing sound, views, shows, and experience. Recommend arriving very early for competitive GA seats. Outside food allowed in the venue! Great idea to bring picnic food, blankets, a rain coat, and small bills cash (for food/beverage providers walking by). Crowds - particularly exiting - can be very pushy and impatient and lead to slow traffic exiting. May as well hang back and wait a bit before rushing out. Travelers beware of altitude and dryness while climbing stairs. Bring sunscreen, sunglasses, and water. Look around you day or night - incredible.

Greatl amphitheatre, great views of Denver and the plains, lots of stairs

The sound. You can t compare it. First concert I ve ever been to where I could actually understand what was being sung; the ampitheatre does magical things for your ears. Add on the beauty of the stars above you and the scenery around you and you have a recipe for the single best venue I have ever been to.

Best place to get worship on..
Under the star's

Usually a bit crowded and hard to find parking, but still worth it! There are a lot of places to hike and you can get plenty of great pictures. Parking can sometimes hard to get but there are almost always some places to park.

One of the most iconic stages there is. If you are in Denver you need to see a concert here.

Best place for outdoor concerts. Be prepared to do a little hiking to get to your seats. Good munchies and beverages available too.

Beautiful place! A must-visit if you're in the Denver area

Coolest place ever when you're in Colorado absolutely I must to visit

Amazing to see all those rocks formation and visit the theater where many important concerts were performed

Perfect location and sound. Getting out of the parking lot is a hassle.

Absolutely breathtaking!! An absolute must for anyone visiting the Denver area. We got the opportunity to attend an evening musical performance there and still talk about it. The acoustics are mind boggling. The history of construction is amazing. There is a very nice gift shop, restaurant, snack bar and chronologic listing of performers that have been there. There is also a movie evening several times per year. There is also another gift shop as you leave Red Rocks via Morrison CO that has another musical museum, snack bar and wide variety of momentos.

One of the best concert venues in the USA! Check the list online of permitted items so you know what you can bring in, such as coolers, food, and seats.

Just visited, it is absolutely stunning and I can only imagine what a concert on a warm night must be like.

Unique place for an amphitheater that is surrounded by giant red rocks and offers great views of the city.

The hike from the parking lot is awful I wish there was a shuttle of somesorts but, the concerts thrown here are always AMAZING! This is a theatre where you are literally grounded in both nature and art! I always keep an eye out for shows here but also events like Yoga on the rocks. The bathrooms are clean, the concession lines get a bit crazy, but overall you will have a wonderful experience here!

Great place no matter the occasion. I saw a Marshmello concert there and it was amazing!

One of my absolute favorite places in the entire world. I'm an acoustics nerd, and enjoying a concert at Red Rocks is akin to a religious experience.

I love this park! Red rocks are always pretty and stand out in landscapes like these.
Some really pretty rock formations, beautiful to see when it was snowing in October, sweet combination.
The hikes were not to clear, so you might want to use an app like Alltrails.
Parking is good here, not to busy on a day like this.

Truly Awesome, my uncle took me here when I was staying with him in Denver, a Herd of Deer crossed right in front of us as we were getting closer to red rocks, it was truly amazing. Looking forward to seeing it again when I'm back in Colorado.

Red rocks never fails to amaze me. The most beautiful venue I've seen and the artists that perform there are always top of the line!

Incredible venue and experience. Friendly staff. Needs to be on everyone's bucket list

Beautiful outdoor venue to see a concert. This IA absolutely a Must for one's bucket list!

Awesome place as usual. We saw Mark Knophler and band. He was amazing. There's the usual everyone leaves at the same time. But it's worth it. You can visit Red Rocks during the day and see the rock formations and they also have a museum. Check it out!

Definitely visit once. If u can catch a concert even better

Red Rocks? Truly one of America's great venues. Great views, stunning topography and natural beauty, and a well-organized venue with great acoustics and facilities.

One of the best places to see a show or go for a quick hike close to home. Run the steps at the amphitheater if you are up for the challenge!

If you like strange large rocks with a reddish hue this place is for you!

What a beautiful place to visit. I can not put into words how well I liked this place. It is a must see for yourself type of venue at all times of the year.

Great views, low to medium challenge trails but nice place to go with the family.

This park has a lot to offer.

I go to the amphitheater in the mornings with my son and dog as often as possible; my son loves the climbing the stairs, ramps, rocks, etc.

If I'm solo or with friends down for a hike, we hit Mt. Morrison right off of gate 4. This is, in my humble opinion, the best hike in the Denver foothills. If you like hiking and having hit Mt. Morrison, please do yourself a favor and google the trail head immediately.

The trails that run through the park are great too and I often see many people on the trails, but I personally don't bother when I can hit Mt. Morrison.

Amazing venue! Visually stunning nature all around you and incredible sound.

Well organized Outdoor venue with breathtaking scenery!

If you are visiting Denver, you need to stop in and visit Red Rock Amphitheater. We did a short hike and it had some incredible views. If you don't feel like hiking, you can join the masses of people who run up and down the stadium for exercise.

Beautiful, spacious and plenty of parking. Handicap parking to a fault it's pretty difficult walk for anyone not in shape.

Red Rocks Park and Amphitheatre is one of the most beautiful places in the whole state of Colorado

Traveling to Red Rocks was a treat! The folks helping you find your way were wonderful and the park is fantastic! We walked the dog on trails, visited the music museum (John Denver is show cased), listened to music, and fully relaxed in a good setting. It was very nice!

Gorgeous and unique. Lots of historical significance to this spot

Wow! It was on my bucket list and of course it didn't disappoint! Thanks for a great show, Brandi! We had a fantastic woman serve up or beers as well - good descriptions and even several clever jokes! Enjoyed reading about the ampitheater's construction; no waiting to use the restroom; great view! My only wish would be to have better parking/arrival information. I was a first-time visitor and didn't know where to walk once parked in one of the far lots.

Awesome venue with great views of Denver skyline when weather is clear.

Gorgeous venue with a view of the city just behind the a few hills.

The most beautiful venue I have ever been to in my life. Sound was impressive, plenty of bathrooms and food/drink services. Get ready to hit the stairs!

Went for the Walk Off The Earth concert at the amphitheater. The views we're breathtaking

Stunning. Literally any concert here would be enjoyable to see. Also appreciate how attentive and helpful the staff is.

The Moody Blues - A Night at Red Rocks with the Colorado Symphony is my favorite concert. I've only seen it on dvd, and many times, at that. I was always intrigued by the Red Rocks Amphitheatre as it appeared so unique compared to other venues. My family recently vacationed in the Denver area. I thought it would be nice to maybe see the amphitheater from the outside like we did the Pepsi Center and Mike High Stadium. We were thrilled to learn we were able to tour this beautiful place as well as go to the museum. From a drive by to a wonderful two hour experience. I highly recommend a trip to Red Rocks and remain envious of those who attend a concert there.

Hands down the best place for a concert that I ve ever been to!

An incredibly beautiful place with the most beautiful landscapes. First of all, I was captured by the vastness of this place: in it, one can feel freedom. There is always a large number of people here, but at the same time, it is pretty More

Absolutely gorgeous. Nice place with nice people, what else could you ask for?

Went few weeks ago for the Alison Wonderland show... best experience ever. Red rocks is a special place

This is a fantastic hike. Just be aware of which way you choose to start because it is a little difficult if you have to go uphill at the end. The scenery is beautiful and a must-see for Colorado.

This is a must visit in Denver! Is a short drive away (25min away from downtown). It s free to enter. It s surrounded by lots of short and fun hiking trails. The amphitheater itself is impressive. Humans are amazing. I m sure concerts and shows here are out of this world. The sides are littered with shops and bars. I went during the day and was entertained by the people doing crazy workouts on the steps

Went here on a Sunday in the morning and had a wonderful time walking around. The views are amazing. Lots of people were working out at the seats. It was nice to check out the space before I come back to attend a show some time. Lots of families and people generally walking around on the different trails. Could easily spend a few hours exploring, including seeing the visitor center.

Definitely a must see if you're in the area. Make sure to wear activewear as you will be doing a ton of walking.

This is a very nice venue for concerts, however I feel there is a better way to handle parking

It was really hot around the amphitheater which couldn't be helped. Otherwise impressive place to check out with lots of awesome views. Nice hiking paths to take you off the beaten path. It was free to check out which was a nice plus.

Great place to enjoy a concert! Tips: 1) bring tons of blankets to keep you warm; 2) expect to walk down to trade post road and Morrison intersection to get a ride.

Best venue in the world!!! Bring your walking/dancing shoes!!!

I'm sure everyome else says the same. Absolute best music venue. Idk how it is for handicap people but I've seen many fans in wheelchairs so it must accomodate them as well. Love it.

Even though it was not open due to coronavirus, I have visited the park many time before and it is fun place to go for concerts and for on a whim visits, it's really fun to be on the stage and your brothers able to hear you at the top due to the naturally occurring amphitheater. I would also highly recommend for people who like to exercise on stairs, but also would recommend it for the extensive trail system that also hooks up to Dakota ridge (dinosaur ridge)

Love this place. Hiked up the to the top of the Amphitheatre from the gift shop. Enjoyed a beverage, walked through the hall of history to find the concerts I attended here. Good quality clothing at the shops too.

We rocked out to the Colorado Symphony Orchestra with Pink Martini. The music was phenomenal and Pink Martini was hilarious - also fantastic, as well as talented musically. This is definitely worth repeating

Unexpected day off lead to the Red Rocks area. So glad I was able to take this all in. Can't wait to return for a show! Love when the locals lead me to spots along the way also. Thanks Denver, I had fun.

The acoustics and of course, the beauty. Did not like the walk UP and the fact that everyone stood up the whole time blocking the view of the stage.

I haven't been here for a venue but it is a fun place to come exercise on the steps. Good cardio! Plenty of free parking.

Awesome place, I would love to see a concert there.

Incredible venue for live music with so much history, you have to see it to really feel it. Was here in July during hottest weather in high 90s, now here in mid-September with low 80s and clear skies. Couldn't be more perfect!

Awe inspiring natural park and an unrivaled venue for shows. As someone from the Boston MA area, Red Rocks is now on my list of places to visit every few years, or even just for a few nights to catch a show. If you have a favorite band, check to see if they're playing here when they tour and grab tickets if they do. It's worth a cross country flight; I would do it again in a heartbeat.

THE concert experience!. If you love music, at least once in your lifetime you need to attend a concert at the legendary Red Rocks. It's worth flying in just for a show. Unforgettable experience!

This place was amazing for an outside concert. The surrounding views are incredible, the acoustics are excellent, and staff was extremely helpful and friendly. I would watch all of my concerts here if I lived in this area.

The Best way to see a movie, under the evolving canopy of planets and stars on your son's birthday, with his incredible service dog

Great view and one of the best places to see concert.

The park is a geological playground. Not interactive, but captivating. The trails are easy to follow and on a clear day hiking and marveling are the activities of choice. Take a picture of the maps when you have a chance to give perspective when the time comes to turn back. Cool views
