This is a wonderful outdoor walking mall. Lot's of entertainment with street performers, toy stores, and play areas along the way for the kids.
My family and I have lived in Boulder for over five years, and I still feel like I am in a movie when we stroll up and down the Pearl Street Mall! It's such a great slice of Boulder life, and the kids are always thrilled when we go. They love to splash in the water fountains in the summertime, and they climb on the rocks midway through the mall year-round. The street performers are always fun to watch, and we always seem to bump into people we know. Gotta love Boulder.
This is by far the best pedestrian mall ever - stores and restaurants for all ages, types, and income levels. There are wonderful street performers and a beatnik feel. It makes you remember the *Mork & Mindy* show. (You can drive/walk by the real house used for outdoor shots in the show - it's 1-2 blocks away!) Have fun and let your hair down!
