Horses and Riders The Buffalo Bill Days Parade is the highlight of Golden's celebration of Buffalo Bill Days, Golden's signature summer event.

Welcome to Golden, Colorado !

What to do?   Where to go?   How to get there?   What's to eat?   Where can we stay?   What makes Golden special?   All the answers are smack in the middle of Golden, at the Golden Visitors Center. Whether you're on your bike, in a kayak, riding light rail or driving your car, when you arrive in Golden head for the center of town, and spend a few minutes at the Golden Visitors Center to plan your day.

Park in the free lot, and let the volunteers tell you what will be going on while you're in town and point you toward downtown businesses, the American Mountaineering Center, Clear Creek RV Park, Clear Creek History Park, picnic areas and parks, bicycle trails and other attractions within easy walking distance from the visitors center. You can also pick up directions to museums, restaurants, shops and lodging, along with various coupons and brochures to enrich your visit.

Tourist attractions, including MillerCoors Brewery tours, Buffalo Bill's Museum and Grave and the Colorado Railroad Museum, among others, attract an estimated 2.5 million visitors to the Golden area each year.
