Spend the day in Longmont
If you only have a few hours in Longmont, here are some great ideas on how to spend them.
Explore Downtown Longmont. A Certified Colorado Creative District, Downtown Longmont has innovative breweries and restaurants and one of a kind boutiques, art and history. Click here for ideas on how to spend your time downtown.
Visit the Longmont Museum's Longmont 150 Exhibit. Kids will love taking a “ride” in our customized lowrider and exploring Longmont’s bygone industries with stops on our model train. The Museum’s historic collection will shine with objects gathered over the past 80+ years, such as the first flag ever flown over Longmont. It’s all here in Longmont 150, an exploration of history for the young and old.
Experience Cheese Importers. A true destination for any “foodie,” Cheese Importers is a Colorado family-owned business founded in 1976. They offer natural, organic and imported cheeses, cured meats, specialty oils, spices, olives, chocolate and other unique specialty foods.
Sip a craft beverage at one of our many breweries, distilleries, or the cidery. You can also check out the self-guided tour of Longmont's craft beverage establishments with the FREE, Crazy Good Craft Passport! Click here or text CRAFT 720-897-3574 to get yours today! Grab our free, downloadable Craft Beverage guide as well!
Grab a bite to eat. There are restaurant options for everyone, from happy hour and fast casual, to high-end and artisan dining. Many restaurants are influenced by locally grown and seasonal foods, a nod to Longmont’s agricultural past, so menus rotate throughout the year allowing visitors to experience something new every time they come. The Longmont Chamber of Commerce has compiled a list of restaurants detailing their dining options due to COVID here.
Enjoy the view while exploring our parks and trails. Bikers and walkers love the parks, paths and trails in the Longmont area, and enjoy the St. Vrain Greenway that winds through town along the St. Vrain Creek. The trail map is available here. Check out our list of some of the best places to view sunrise and sunset here.
