The experience

The tour starts at Union Station, the landmark that anchors Denver's history, and moves through the LoDo neighborhood where the city's most storied buildings still stand. You'll step inside some of Denver's oldest structures (places most locals have forgotten), and hear the stories of the people and events that made them matter. The guide doesn't just tell you what happened. They show you the spaces where it happened, walking you through rooms and down into the tunnels beneath the streets that connected the bars, brothels and supper clubs of Denver's past.

One stop takes you inside a former luxury hotel where the haunted history is part of the building itself. Another is the A5 Steakhouse, housed in what was once the famous Wazzee Supper Club. The place that made LoDo the destination it became, with tunnel connections that reveal how the neighborhood actually worked. You'll also see the former Tattered Cover bookstore location and the Sugar building, both instrumental in Denver's formation. The route changes depending on what's happening downtown and whether buildings are accessible that day, so every tour finds different angles on the same dark history.

Your guide brings paranormal investigative tools and demonstrates how they work. You're welcome to use them if you want to. The whole experience runs about 2 hours, though with check-in time it usually stretches longer, so plan accordingly if you're parking downtown. Wear comfortable shoes and clothes that match the weather: the tour runs in rain, so bring an umbrella if you need one. Severe weather cancels the tour, but otherwise you're going out into Denver's streets and into the buildings themselves.

Operated by Dark Side of Denver Ghost Tours

Is this one for you?Book this tour if you want the actual history of Denver's darker side told inside the buildings where it happened, not just stories told on the street. The guide's access to the interiors (Union Station, the old hotel, the tunnels) is what separates this from a walking tour that stays outside. It's also what makes the route flexible, so some buildings may not be accessible on your date depending on what's happening downtown.

What's inside Union Station on this Denver ghost tour?

Union Station is a major stop where you go inside to learn about its place in Denver's history and the spirits said to linger there. The tour meets in front of the building underneath the flagpole, and Union Station's role in the city's past is central to understanding the LoDo neighborhood the rest of the tour covers.

Do you actually go inside the haunted buildings, or just walk past them?

You go inside several of Denver's most haunted locations. The tour takes you into Union Station, a former luxury hotel, and other historic buildings in LoDo. Access to specific buildings can vary depending on events or circumstances downtown, but the guide always tries to get you inside at least some of the locations.

What are the paranormal investigative tools you can use?

Your guide brings paranormal investigative equipment and demonstrates how it works during the tour. You're invited to use the tools yourself if you want to participate in the investigation as you move through the haunted buildings.

What should I wear and bring for a 2-hour ghost tour in Denver?

Wear comfortable shoes and clothes appropriate for the weather, since you'll be walking through Denver's streets and inside buildings. Bring an umbrella if rain is in the forecast: the tour runs in wet weather. Plan for the full experience to take longer than 2 hours when you include check-in time.

Where do I meet for the tour, and how early should I arrive?

Meet in front of Union Station at 1701 Wynkoop St., Denver, CO 80202, underneath the flagpole. Arrive 15 minutes before your tour start time. If you're parking downtown, use the garages and lots in the area rather than street parking, since meters typically run only 2 hours and the tour plus check-in usually takes longer.
