Denver Pavilions Holiday Carousel

The Holiday Carousel at Denver Pavilions offers free rides with a purchase at Pavilions restaurants, retailers, and entertainment venues, and from select downtown hotel partners. Rides are available 11 a.m. to 9 p.m., December 15 through January 2; a portion of the proceeds benefits Food Bank of the Rockies.

If you thought holiday shopping had you going in circles, this annual Downtown Denver attraction will have you literally feeling it. From Dec. 14 to Jan. 2, take a spin on the holiday carousel at the Denver Pavilions (500 16th St.). Rides are $3 each, but you can hop on for gratis. Shop, dine or play at any Denver Pavilions business and receive a voucher for a free ride with purchase. See merchant for details, as requirements may vary. You may also want to mark your calendar for Dec. 27, when all rides are free — no purchase required. The carousel spins daily from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. and on New Year’s Eve is open until 1 a.m.
