Annual Flower Trial Gardens 1400 Remington Street http://www.flowertrials.colostate.edu/
The outdoor display and test areas at the Annual Flower Trial Gardens were established to allow students, researchers, industry representatives, homeowners and extension personnel to learn, teach and evaluate through horticultural research and demonstration projects conducted in the unique environmental conditions of the Rocky Mountain/High Plains region. The entire garden is planted with annuals from late May through October. Pansies are planted in the fall and are on display through early spring. The perennial trials are displayed year round across the street in front of the University Center for the Arts.
CSU Scavenger Hunt
Main campus ramtrax scavenger hunt (pdf).
This self-guided campus Scavenger Hunt encompasses four regions of campus: Tradition, Learning, Living, and Spirit. The tour takes participants across campus through the historic portions of campus, to where academics take place, where students live and dine, and to where student cheer on the RAMS! The Scavenger Hunt also gives groups an opportunity to break into groups and compete against each other to complete the tasks first.
Mystery of CSU History
This tour was created to provide insight into the University’s history. The tour will circle the Oval, the heart of campus, highlight the unique history of timeless, well-preserved sites. Each destination serves as a reminder of where we have been and provides a foundation to further develop our prestige as a landmark university. We want you to enjoy the scenic walk back in time and hope it strengthens your connection to the university, our community of Fort Collins, and the state of Colorado.

- CU Boulder is currently mask-optional. We recognize that members of our community, as well as guests to campus, have different comfort levels in public spaces and that some people have personal circumstances that would counsel in favor of continued masking. While wearing masks is optional on campus, we encourage those who prefer to do so to continue wearing them, and we support their decision.

CU Boulder will continue to track the evolution of this disease and work with campus, local and state health officials to ensure we are making the decisions that best protect our community.
- Prior to arrival, if the student or guest(s) is exhibiting symptoms of COVID-19 or other illness, they should cancel their reservation for the visit, and are encouraged to reschedule.
- The student and guest(s) understand that the building access may be limited during weekends or holiday break periods when classes are not in session.
- If you and your guest(s) are late for a campus tour, it is not guaranteed that a guided tour will be offered. In this case, you will be given a self-guided tour map and can tour campus independently while following campus guidelines.

How to Have a Successful Self-Guided Campus Visit
Signing up for an official tour isn't the only way to visit colleges! Use these tips and tricks if you feel like exploring campus on your own schedule.
by Jordanne Nichols CollegeXpress Student Writer
Last Updated: May 3, 2024

In the age of the pandemic, it’s been hard for many people to get back into the swing of normal life. Many actions that were once easily accessible have been taken for granted, eliminated, or changed to fit the new pace of society. For many students, the college process has been limited and may seem almost impossible to truly get an understanding of with virtual tours, opportunities, and experiences. With more campuses re-opening and life getting slowly back to normal every day, virtual tours and digital experiences aren’t the only modern and pandemic-friendly way to experience college campuses. If you want to experience what a campus is really like but aren’t quite ready to join a big group tour, self-guided campus visits are a cost-effective, accessible, and safe way to interact with a college in a personal and direct manner. Here’s how taking control of your own visit experience can benefit your college search, plus tips to help you make the most of your time on campus.
Tailor your own experience
Self-guided tours are a great way for students to experience aspects on campus directly that may be removed or glossed over on an official tour led by a student representative. Walking through campus alone with no set schedule for exploration allows for a fuller understanding of the college environment and ambiance. It allows visitors to experience classroom settings, walkability, and a focused major environment at their own pace. Oftentimes on a guided visit or in a virtual setting, the tour encompasses all the big aspects of campus—but a singular tour led by yourself allows you to see exactly what it is that interests you . It also allows you to see more schools in a cost-effective way and interact with as many people as you want.
Interact on a deeper level
Another great aspect of self-guided college tours is the flexibility and lack of constraints. If the school has campus-led or volunteer activities going on that day, you can join them and have a more informal experience while on your own personal tour alone with no guidance. This can be especially helpful later in the process when you’re trying to make your final college decision . At the beginning of the college process, it’s valuable and almost necessary to attend the school-led information sessions, but as you progress and understand what suits your interests and needs, it’s best to interact with the college at a more personal level.

Tour according to your lifestyle
Whether you have time to leisurely walk around campus or only have enough time to drive through, a self-guided tour is accommodating and insightful for both situations. The college process can be costly, timely, and demand a lot of attention, which can be difficult to manage for a lot of people, seeming almost incomprehensible. Adding self-guided tours to your college search process can allow you to see more universities and plan an easy and adaptable encounter.
Final tips for self-guided college tours
While self-guided tours prioritize being able to experience a school in an individualized manner, there are lots of ways to prepare and engage with campus opportunities. Try going into classrooms to experience a class firsthand or visit an academic and admission office to ask questions . To best prepare, be sure to research the campus before visiting, and choose a time that will allow you to experience the whole campus environment. Printing out a campus map beforehand will ensure you know exactly where to go; maps can also found in the admission office if you want to make that your first stop. Finally, visiting the student center is a great way to see active clubs and visualize student participation and interaction outside of academic hours. This is your tour, so take the time to plan and customize it to your interests!
Related: Smart Questions to Ask Before, During, and After College Visits
The pandemic stopped many facets of our lives, but the college visit experience doesn’t have to be negatively affected anymore. And remember: whether on campus or online, school-organized or self-guided, any type of college tour is a great way to understand what type of school will fit you best.

High School Class of 2021
CollegeXpress helped me find Allegheny College with the super-user-friendly search tool for both schools and scholarships. Using CollegeXpress, I was able to search for programs I was interested in studying and find colleges that offered those programs. Also, once you search for the college, CollegeXpress can get you connected!

CollegeXpress helped me overcome a huge hurdle. Because of the small town I live in, I felt like I would never achieve more. I felt like I could never go beyond because of costs. I feared I wouldn’t be able to find scholarships. I had no idea of where to start. With CollegeXpress, I easily found scholarships—they came to me. It was a helper, and I was instantly matched with opportunities to go above and beyond educationally.

CollegeXpress has helped me tremendously in my college search in narrowing down the schools I’m interested in. Using the college search tool, I was able to narrow down my choices to schools that matched what I was looking for. I also used CollegeXpress for their scholarship search, which helped me find scholarships that I meet the requirements of.

It's an honor for me to be writing to share a little about my experience with CollegeXpress. I've been using CollegeXpress for about a year now, and the reason why I chose it is because it provides astonishing scholarships for every student around the globe. Besides that, this organization dispenses all the information necessary to help students get to college. CollegeXpress has helped me have an easier experience with applying to colleges and choosing the best fit for myself.

I've used CollegeXpress quite a bit as a senior, particularly for colleges and scholarships, so it's been a very big asset in that respect! I would recommend it to anyone looking to pursue a college education, especially seniors! This scholarship will help me achieve my goals in ways I couldn't have before, and I know that there are opportunities like that for everyone on the website and in the magazines!

Your one-stop shop for truly local Colorado experiences.
If you’re the kind of person who wants to celebrate Colorado’s bustling cities, hidden gems and interesting history as much as our state’s magnificent outdoors, you’ve found the right Denver tour company. In our available tours (each planned for limited dates), you’ll see a mix of laid-back hikes and national park visits and restaurant experiences, neighborhood explorations, museum days, luxury getaways, plus tour deep-dives into questions like, “How does Denver recycle its water?” For us, these are the things worth (treasure) hunting for; they are the X on the map.
Check out our reviews!
Go with a group
We offer a lineup of guided group tours each year, especially designed for active 55-and-up travelers, but all are welcome! These range from small walking and bus tours to multiday trips. While we tour Denver (our home) and Colorado most of the time, we regularly head out of state and even out of the country, too.

Then, we saw that something was missing: self-guided tour options that were just as enjoyable as traditional group outings. Treasure Box Tours is here to offer you both: self-guided, private excursions and group journeys that promise to give you a unique look at every destination. In other words, we’re here to get you to X.
