Casa Bonita

OMG what an experience! Like Disneyland, Universal Studios, and kitsch heaven all rolled into one. The cliff diving was amazing. And the Gorilla show was funny. This place is truly endless wonder. You must walk around to take it all in. Plus, the food was great! If I'm ever in Denver again, I am so going back!!

Casa Bonita

I grew up in Colorado, and as I kid I would beg my mom to take me to Casa Bonita for my birthday. We would drive in from Colorado Springs for the adventure. Now I have moved back to the Denver area and I can't believe I have talked my honey into taking me back! It was 1976 or '77 the last time I was here! Not much has changed. You just have to do it! Have some fun and don't take yourself too seriously. It is worth the stop.

We were there earlier this month, watching families enjoy the indoor cliff diving.

Seating is very interesting. Tons of little balconies overlook the cliff divers.

Casa Bonita

Just visited here, must say it is worth going to experience it all. Gorilla show, gun fight, cliff divers and much more. Food is overpriced and awful quality, but a place that has all this is worth it!

Casa Bonita

Food is cafeteria style, sub par. Sopapillas for dessert were above par when paired with honey. Attractions were a must-see. Cliff divers, gunfighters, Black Bart's cave, etc. very entertaining.
