Celebrate Graduation in Greeley: A 3-Day Itinerary 🎓

Start your morning at Meeker’s: A Colorado Kitchen & Bar, where brunch sets the tone for the day. With a revamped menu and bottomless mimosas (yes, please), it’s an easy favorite. Go for the biscuits with chorizo gravy or the southwestern benedict, you won’t regret it. 

From there, spend the day exploring downtown Greeley. This walkable area is full of unique shops, colorful public art and plenty of places to pop in and browse. 

A few can’t-miss stops: 

• The Nerd Store for games, puzzles, and all things geeky.  
• Accessories with a Flair...and Hair for boutique finds.  
• Warm Hugs & Gifts for thoughtful treasures.  
• Makers Mercantile, where multiple local vendors come together under one roof (and you might even catch a fun art class). 

When you’re ready for a break, head to The Downtown Armory. This spot truly has it all: a bookstore, plant shop, gallery, coffee stop and lunch options. 

Grab a bite from Shinobis Paninis (the portions are generous, so leftovers are likely), and don’t skip a refreshing drink from Cauldron Espresso. Their lemon-limonade with house-made syrups is a local favorite. 

Wrap up your day with something fun. Catch a movie at Kress Cinema & Lounge, see a live show at The Moxi Theater, test your aim at Greeley Hatchet House or play your way through nostalgia at Stella’s Pinball Arcade & Lounge. 

End the night with a celebratory dinner at Austin’s American Grill or enjoy a cozy Italian meal at Pellegrini Cucina Italiana. 

One of the best parts about visiting Greeley? You’re just a short drive from some incredible Colorado destinations. 

Take a day trip to Estes Park and explore the stunning landscapes of Rocky Mountain National Park. Think fresh mountain air, scenic drives and unforgettable views. 

Looking for something a little different? Check out: 

• Terry Bison Ranch, where you can see bison up close. 
• The Wild Animal Sanctuary, home to rescued lions, bears, tigers and more. 

No matter which direction you go, you’ll be back in Greeley by evening with plenty of stories to share. 

After a full couple of days, ease into your final morning with coffee and a light bite at cocos | an everyday cafe + shop. It’s the perfect spot to slow down, sip something warm and browse a thoughtfully curated shop. 

Treat yourself (and your grad) to a little self-care. Book a massage at Sweet Be Wellness or enjoy a relaxing pedicure at Venetian Nails & Spa. 

If the sun is shining, head outside and take advantage of Greeley’s beautiful parks and natural areas. A walk, a picnic or just some quiet time together is the perfect way to soak it all in before heading home. 

Before you hit the road, grab lunch at Los Ponchos Mexican Restaurant. The Mama’s Tacos are a fan favorite, and the generous portions mean you definitely won’t leave hungry.
