Your Guide to Downtown Grand Junction

Grand Junction is a beautiful city with a lot to see and do in the nature surrounding it. But what attractions are in the city itself? That’s what we’d love to cover here.

At Castle Creek Manor, you’re just a short drive away from the downtown area, which makes it easy to do everything we’re about to mention in this article. We’ll cover attractions, shop-portunities, and popular restaurants so you can feel ready to explore the city.

Things to Do in Grand Junction

Fill up your schedule with all manner of fun activities. Grand Junction has attractions for the family, young kids, the men, and the women. Everyone will be able to enjoy our corner of Colorado!

Lincoln Park Golf Course

Address: 1240 Gunnison Ave, Grand Junction, CO

Hours: 10AM - 5PM

Lincoln Park is one of the few public golf courses in Grand Junction, and it’s pretty awesome. You have the option of playing 9 or 18 Holes, and can rent a golf cart for guests not wanting to walk the sometimes long distances between holes. 

With carefully manicured gardens and greens, club rentals onsite, and lessons for golfing newcomers, Lincoln Park is probably the best place to try golfing for the first time.

Prices:

• 9 Hole: $10
• 18 Hole: $20
• 9 Hole Cart: $12
• 18 Hole Cart: $15

Bananas Fun Park

Address: 2469 Riverside Pkwy, Grand Junction, CO

Hours: 11AM - 9PM

On the banks of the Colorado lies Bananas Fun Park, a place where everyone can have a blast. You’ll have access to mini golf, go karts, an inflatable play area for the kiddies, laser tag, and a unique laser maze challenge. If you’re looking for a chill day with the little ones, Bananas is the place to go. Check out pricing on their website.

How Much Does Bananas Fun Park Cost?

Western Colorado Botanical Gardens

Address: 655 Struthers Ave, Grand Junction, CO

Hours: 9AM - 4PM

Discover beautifully-manicured gardens in the heart of Grand Junction. You’ll probably see some plants you wouldn’t expect growing in this part of Colorado. Another major thing to do is enter the butterfly garden, where dozens of species of these gorgeous insects thrive on the flowers inside. This should be a must-do activity for anyone visiting Colorado.

The Avalon Theatre

Address: 645 Main St, Grand Junction, CO

Catch a show at the historic Avalon Theatre here in the downtown area. While it ain’t much to look at, the music hall offers excellent acoustics and the décor makes you feel like you’ve stepped into a time machine. Check out the upcoming calendar and see if it works with your schedule.
