Depending on the day you visit, your artwork might only last minutes before someone comes behind you to cover it up with their own mark. If you want to leave your mark on these Caddies but didn’t bring any spray paint with you, don’t worry, you should have no problem finding a can in the pile that were left behind. People from all over bring their own spray paint and leave it behind in a pile of canisters on the ground when they are done. It’s exciting to walk down the row of cars and see the artwork of others passing by. Today, only the frames of the Caddies are left, and there are decades of spray paint on the cars. Eventually, the creators encouraged the graffiti as a way to let others express themselves and have fun doing it. People traveled from all over the world to see these Caddies, and many started to deface them for souvenirs, while others put graffiti on them in order to leave their marks.
Best of all its totally FREE!īuilt in 1974, 10 Cadillacs were buried ½ deep on the property of a local Amarillo Millionaire. This is such a cool idea, and quite a sight to see. I finally decided to make a stop to check it out. I have passed by the Cadillac Ranch installation for many years on my trips in/out of Texas. The ski lift wasn't operating when we went, but looks fun! There's also a carousel to ride for a fee. I loved the unique views this provided and the extra exercise, but for those not able to walk far, they offer a shuttle around for $3/day. We went at lunch time, and while it was hectic and busy, the line moved quickly.īe prepared to walk! Lots of incline walking because the zoo is in the side of the mountain. I appreciated that they sold specialty coffee drinks at the Cozy Goat that were decent. If you want to buy food they offer a decent selection of standard zoo food (burgers, pizza, hot dogs, ice cream), although prepare to pay zoo prices. For how well designed the rest of the exhibits are, I felt like they could do more in there. It had more of a pet store vibe looking at the snakes. The only underwhelming exhibit, IMO, was the reptile and bird house. Many of the animals were active while we were there and staff went out of their way to interact with guests and answer questions about the animals. It felt like equal parts modern art gallery and zoo in places and made for a great immersive experience. There are also multiple ways to interact with the environment as you make your way around (two interactive plays areas, beavers dens, caves, large sculptures to climb). Most animals have feeding experiences (giraffes, tigers, elephants, goats, chickens, birds) that are reasonably priced compared to similar experiences at other zoos. The thing that sets the Cheyenne Mountain Zoo apart from other zoos is the number of ways you can get up close and interact with the animals. Coors Field is a great baseball stadium and a must see for anyone visiting Denver. There are homeless people but we never felt unsafe despite the late hour. We walked up and down the 16th street pedestrian mall before and after the game to our downtown hotel. We caught a street vendor outside but there is also a 7-Eleven store on Blake street towards downtown nearby. You can also bring in unopened non-alcoholic drinks which I would highly recommend. Some concession stands offer a kids meal for $5 which is great for families. The seats along the first base line receive quite a bit of evening sun but they also have views of the mountains. We sat in the lower part of the upper deck behind home plate and I thought they were great seats. Even though we were dressed out for the Cardinals we had fun interactions with Rockies fans and everyone seemed happy to be at the ballpark.
A fan behind us brought a towel to dry off his seat from an earlier rain shower and he let us use it as well. The game day staff were extremely nice and helped assist us with questions. It is extremely well done and comes off as classic without being gimmicky. This was only my second time here but I really love this ballpark. This was Nolan Arenado’s first game back in Colorado so it was nice to see him receive a well deserved ovation. We came to the game on 7/1 to watch the Rockies play the St.
