Camp Christmas Takeover at Stanley Marketplace

Christmas may be over, but things are still pretty holly jolly at Stanley Marketplace in Aurora.

And it’s all thanks to Camp Christmas, which has taken over the entire market place this holiday season.

After a year away in Texas, Camp Christmas is back home in Colorado and there are still a few more days left to check out all of the camp, festive fun!

We visited a few days before Christmas and I’m excited to share it all with you today.

Let’s take a look…

DALí ALIVE at THE LUME Colorado

 Calling all art lovers!

There's a new immersive art exhibition in town that you must check out.

Dalí Alive is a new immersive art exhibition at THE LUME Colorado in Stanley Marketplace, Aurora. This amazing exhibition is created in conjunction with The Dalí Museum in St Petersburg, Florida and showcases a 360 degree immersive digital experience featuring some of Salvador Dalí's most iconic artworks from his long career as the master of surrealism and beyond.

Let's go check it out...

 

One of my favorite things about the Dalí Alive exhibition is that it features two areas where visitors can immerse themselves in Dalí's surreal universe in very different ways.

ICE! at Gaylord Rockies

One of my all time favorite holiday events is back and I'm so excited to share it with you!

ICE! is back at Gaylord Rockies after a two year hiatus and this year it features Charlie Brown, Snoopy and the whole Peanuts gang in scenes from the beloved "A Charlie Brown Christmas" movie.

As the name suggests, ICE! is a holiday exhibition made almost entirely of, you guessed it, ice! The exhibition features ten scenes from "A Charlie Brown Christmas" made of colored and clear ice brought to life with twinkling LED lights and music from the original score. The sculptures are so intricate and the colors so vibrant that Mathilde was convinced they were all really made of plastic! Nope - it's ice, ice baby!

Ok, I just made myself cringe with that one. Let's take a look at some pictures while I compose myself!

Selfie at Stanley

Hey Colorado friends!

If you've been here a minute, you'll know I love a good immersive museum or interactive exhibition. I'm always on the look out for fun new experiences that fit the bill and I'm excited to say that I've found a new one! 

Selfie at Stanley is a fun new pop up exhibition designed for those of us who love taking selfies - or in my case, photos of the kids! Located at the Stanley Marketplace in Aurora, Selfie at Stanley features 25 interactive photo backdrops with props a plenty. You'll find all sorts of photo opportunities here including swings, a bath tub full of "bubbles" (ball pit balls), a 60's living room full of vintage goodies, a wall of plushies, a retro hair salon, a scooter zooming down Denver's Larimer Square, angel wings, puffy clouds, and so much more.

Let's take a look at all the fun!

So Much Christmas at Gaylord Rockies

 It's that time of year again...

That time of year when Gaylord Rockies Resort in Aurora comes alive with Christmas fun!

It really doesn't feel that long ago that we were at the Gaylord Rockies last year celebrating the holiday season and yet here we are again celebrating all the festive fun that Gaylord Rockies has to offer. This year really has flown by.

Recently the kids and I spent an evening at Gaylord Rockies checking out their holiday events. We helped Buddy the elf save Christmas, we watched acrobats and magicians, we strolled through the colorful light displays, we ice skated under twinkling lights, we slid down the tubing hill and we ate lots of tasty treats. 

Let's take a look at the fun...
