Downtown Walking Tour
Explore historic downtown Castle Rock's best shops, cafes, and hidden gems on foot.
Downtown Castle Rock's charming streets are best explored on foot, where you'll discover historic buildings, local boutiques, and some of the best dining in Douglas County.
Start at Perry Street
Begin your walking tour on Perry Street, the heart of historic downtown. Stop by The Emporium for unique Colorado-made goods, then wander to Lost Coffee for a perfectly crafted cup to fuel your exploration.
Historic Wilcox Street
Head to Wilcox Street to discover Castle Cafe, a local institution for 25+ years housed in a building from the 1890s. Continue to The Fort CPA Group building and other historic structures that tell the story of Castle Rock's frontier past.
The Barn & 3rd Street
Don't miss The Barn on 3rd Street - this 100+ year old structure houses 23 specialty shops. It's easy to spend an hour browsing antiques, home decor, and vintage treasures.
Lunch Break
Refuel at B&B Cafe for a classic American breakfast or lunch, or at Union American Bistro on Wilcox Street.
End with History
Complete your tour at Scileppi's at The Old Stone Church. Housed in an 1888 church, it's both a delicious Italian restaurant and a piece of living Castle Rock history.
