Visit the Mile High Tree in Downtown Denver

POSTED BY
Laura

Downtown Denver is home to the tallest digital Christmas tree in the country. Visit Denver and other community partners have come together to create an amazing holiday attraction, the Mile High Tree, with 60,000 programmed LED lights. It will be open November 17 through December 31, 2023. The tree is easy to access at its location in Civic Center Park.

Mile High Tree / Visit Denver photo

The seven-story tall, 39-foot diameter conical structure will be lit throughout the season. And, yes, you can actually go inside the tree!

Nightly from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m., the public can enter the tree for an immersive viewing experience.

Visitors to the tree will enjoy a selection of festive and diverse holiday songs timed to the tree’s exciting light displays. The program lasts approximately five minutes and will run approximately every 15 minutes.

It’s easy to get to Civic Center Park from Denver Union Station by hopping on the free MallRide.
