January is the perfect time to look ahead and start planning your corporate or milestone group gathering at Glenwood Caverns Adventure Park.
As the calendar flips to 2026, now is the time to start planning your next big occasion at Glenwood Caverns Adventure Park. From corporate retreats and team-building events to family reunions and milestone birthday parties, Glenwood Caverns always offers groups a peak experience. The only thing that can make it better? Planning ahead, now, weeks, even months in advance, for an event they won’t soon forget!
A One-of-a-Kind Mountaintop Setting
Perched high above Glenwood Springs, Glenwood Caverns Adventure Park offers a setting for group events that’s anything but ordinary. At 7,500 feet in elevation, the Park sits atop Iron Mountain, delivering stunning panoramic views of the Roaring Fork Valley every season of the year. In summer, the landscape is lush and green; in fall, golden aspens steal the show; winter brings a snow-dusted wonderland; and spring welcomes fresh alpine air and blooming color. No matter what time of year your event takes place, the backdrop is unforgettable.
For those in the planning stage who haven’t yet visited, Glenwood Springs is a Colorado mountain town that is ideally situated and easily accessible by car via Interstate 70, making it a convenient destination for both Front Range and Western Slope guests. Once in town, your group adventure begins as you board the Glenwood Gondola, a scenic ride that sweeps guests from the valley floor to the mountain top in mere minutes, a truly memorable prequel to the main event.
Why Groups Love Glenwood Caverns Adventure Park
One of the top reasons Glenwood Caverns Adventure Park stands out as an event venue is the sheer variety of experiences available in one location. Groups can mix and match activities to create a custom day that appeals to all ages and energy levels. Thrill-seekers can tackle adrenaline-pumping rides, families can enjoy classic attractions together, and curious explorers can delve underground on guided cave tours.
Between adventures, guests can refuel with delicious food options designed to satisfy the appetites of everyone in your group, whether they’re closer in age to 7 or 77. No matter the occasion for hosting your event, the Park’s food and beverage packages easily accommodate your group’s style and schedule.
Plan Early, Celebrate Better
The key to a great party, however, is planning, and the start of a new year is the ideal time to get started. Popular dates fill quickly, especially for large-scale events, so connecting early with the Park’s Group Sales department is essential. Their experienced team works closely with organizers to lock in dates, finalize details, and build activity and dining packages that delight every guest in your group.
Sample Event: Corporate Team-Building on the Mountain
Imagine your team stepping out of the gondola and into crisp mountain air, greeted by panoramic views that instantly inspire fresh thinking. A corporate team-building event at Glenwood Caverns Adventure Park might include collaborative encouragement to ride thrill rides like the Defiance Coaster or the Giant Canyon Swing, a shared meal overlooking the valley below, and an inspiring cave tour of King’s Row. It’s an energizing alternative to the traditional conference room, one that encourages connection, creativity, and camaraderie in a setting your team will talk about long after the event ends.
Sample Event: Family Reunion or Birthday Bash
For families, the Park is especially welcoming, making it an ideal choice for reunions or birthday celebrations. Picture grandparents enjoying the views while kids race from ride to ride, the whole family chasing each other down the mountainside on the Alpine Coaster, cousins playing hide and seek in the laser tag arena, the whole crew exploring Fairy Caves together, and posing for a group photo together on the Viewing Deck before heading inside to the Lookout Grille for food, cake and drinks. Whether it’s a milestone birthday or an annual family gathering, hosting it on the mountain turns a special occasion into an unforgettable adventure.
