Fun Pearl Street Mall photo via Colorado4Two
1. Take a stroll down the Pearl Street Mall. This four-block pedestrian strip of shops and restaurants clearly has kids in mind: there's a sandbox, play areas, and the beloved pop-jet fountain at 14th street. Be on the lookout for street performers and live music, too.
2. Go on a free tour at NCAR, The National Center for Atmospheric Research. Their visitor center offers guided tours and lots of fun ways for kids to learn about things related to the weather - which hopefully will be good, so you can go on the short "weather hike" outside, and then enjoy a picnic on the NCAR grounds. (There's a cafeteria, as well.)
3. Would you care for a cup of tea? Take a tour of the Celestial Seasonings Factory! Learn all about how tea is made, and yes, there a many free samples: don't forget to lift your pinkey and put on a fancy accent when you take a sip! (Note: children under 5 are not permitted on the factory floor portion of the tour.)
Accommodation Tip: the conveniently-situated Best Western Plus Boulder Inn has a pool with a mountain view. Enough said.
