What travellers are saying
- Brian FBaltimore, MD3 contributionsWalking Mountains Science Center was a great experience. While only a short walk from 'downtown' Avon, it holds beautiful grounds, quality facilities and extremely helpful staff. I participated in the free Nature Walk on the grounds, and our guide Reese gave us an great experience -- informative, easy going, and accommodating. I will have to budget more time next visit to try out one of the other Walking Mountains tours they offer!Written 10 March 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Steveh3TexasSouthlake, TX798 contributionsWe had our 2 and 6 year old grandsons staying with us. We needed a pool. So, we went to the Rec Center and got a 25 visit punch card. Our 6 year old enjoyed the water slide. There are 3 different pools and a lazy river. All is indoors. Their mom could work-out, while we watched the boys in the pool. Very close to a very fun playground too.Written 15 July 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Joni S4 contributionsScheduled a x country ski lesson for my last day with my family skiing at BC & Vail. After reading other reviews I was worried about my experience. I was happily surprised. We had 8+ inches of snow the day before. The trails at the top of the strawberry park express were groomed and a private learning area for me with my “group” instructor Sarah. I ended up with a private lesson.
Sarah was pleasantly surprised at the conditions and told me about the challenges of ungroomed trails or snowshoe of snowmobile paths across the ski grooved trails. I totally agree with other reviewers that BC needs to make grooming this area a priority or advertise the lesson as back-country and ungroomed.
I learned about what to look for in equipment, should I upgrade the skis I inherited. We worked on general form, Traversing hills Both up and down and did several loops on a short trail. Sarah paid attention to my ability level and when I was winded we stopped and chatted for a minute or 2 before continuing.
I believe my downhill skills made this first cross country lessen easier than if I was new to skiing altogether. I had the use of the skis after lunch at no additional charge which was an unexpected perk and I went back up to practice what i learned.
It was disappointing to see that the McCoy area is a mixed use area which is intimidating at best and could be dangerous for inexperienced skiers- downhill and xcountry. Perhaps there could be signage and separation? I did NOT go to that area as a first timer for the reasons stated by others.
Finally, I received an email the day of my lesson telling me to arrive at 8:30 to pick up equipment for a group lesson at 9. That apparently is inaccurate as my group lesson began at 10. I thought it was at 10 but when the email arrived I went early and ended up waiting. This was inconvenient and my husband found it to be far more irritating because it changed our meet up plans. This should be an easy fix for BC . There is no way to confirm the time after receiving that early morning email.
For me a great experience!Written 5 February 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Kathryn MBoston, MA26 contributionsThis is one of my favorite courses after a weekend in Beaver Creek! I play 18 holes two days in a row. I had only signed up for 9 each day which is an option for those not looking to either spend a full day or spend the money (it's a little pricey but well worth it). The staff were really friendly - I called from the 9th hole both days to extend my round and they were really helpful and accommodating.
There's a large grass driving range as well as a sizable chipping area for pre-round practice. The scenery is what really sets the course apart from others. It's a target golf course that weaves through the mountains with some pretty tricky shots. Holes 1 and 3 are the hardest so don't get discouraged if you get off to a rough start!
The pro shop also has great merchandise, I recommend checking it out before or after your round as well. Thank you Beaver Creek Golf Club for a wonderful weekend!Written 6 February 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

We really had such a great experience. He even helped us with information about the area as well, because we are looking into moving down there.Written 26 September 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Shayna922Rancho Mirage, CA61 contributionsAs a result of a presentation by the Vail Valley Art Guild on Photography we found out about the Art of the Valley Gallery. As one can imagine, there are many talented amateur and professional artists and photographers in this beautiful environment of mountains, rivers, lakes, and valleys. This is where some of their art is charmingly displayed and available for sale. It is always amazing to us, how talented creative people are! The presenter at our lecture told us that to be a good photographer/artist, one should look at lots of photographs/artworks! This is a good place to do so! It's a little difficult to find, so don't be discouraged. Know that it is right beside the Avon Theatres. It would be helpful if the gallery displayed a colorful flag or something outside, to let people know easily, where they're located.Written 30 July 2016This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Jim SPensacola, FL234 contributionsOn the first tee, our local playing partner set the stage for what was to come. He stated “I am a member here, the course is beautiful, there isn’t a flat fairway or green on the course, check your Florida egos at the door because if you aren’t a 5 handicap (which I am not) this course is going to eat your lunch..... And it did! Beautiful, YES! Miserable, YES! His advice was to play Vail or Beaver Creek and that is exactly what we will do when we return.Written 13 September 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
