Situated on the growing Denver-Boulder corridor, Westminster is easily accessed from either metropolitan area. A mix of old ranches and new housing developments, Westminster is a vibrant, young community. While new structures have made over Westminster, the town’s history is carefully preserved at the Bowles House Museum. Westminster’s Pillar of Fire building, a majestic neo-Romanesque-style building built in 1892, is another interesting tribute to the past. Numerous other structures are also listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

What’s most visible in Westminster, however, is a sea of new shopping districts. Visitors will find conveniences ranging from popular chain stores to family-style restaurants located immediately off of U.S. 36. The Westminster City Center area, located near U.S. 36 and Sheridan Boulevard, offers over 300 stores, including a number of large department stores clustered in and around the Westminster Mall. In addition, the Westminster Promenade, an outdoor pedestrian village, contains restaurants and cafes, a movie theatre, sculptures, hotel facilities, performance areas, interactive water features, walking trails, and a three-rink ice arena.

For those who would rather get away from it all, the serene sculpture gardens at City Hall provide the perfect escape. Better yet, the Butterfly Pavilion (at the Promenade) will make any guest feel like they’re a million miles away. This lush conservatory is home to 1,200 free-flying butterflies, including the brilliant Blue Morpho and a giant endangered species from Australia. Westminster is also home to over 2,000 acres of open space, 50 developed parks, more than 40 outdoor trails, and four golf courses.
