Heritage Square is tucked away in the hills above Golden and offers an alpine slide, amusement park rides, paddle boats, go-karts, climbing wall and our personal favorite, the Water-Walker Human Hamster Balls.

My girls love bowling. From the times we had to use the ball ramp to roll the ball down the alley, to the times we alley-ooped the ball down the alley between our legs. We still use the bumpers (I don’t mind that at all) and enjoy going for family time.
