Do you ever find yourself in Fort Collins, bored, with nothing to do? Look no further, because there are three unique, cheap and vintage attractions that make Fort Collins stand out as more than just a college town. Founded in 1872, Fort Collins, once a thriving agricultural center, is now home to Colorado State University and 33,500 students. Located an hour and a half away, it’s worth the drive to be able to visit these three destinations.

Swetsville Zoo is not only a one-of-a-kind attraction, but it is also free for all visitors interested in seeing the Colorado wonder. Swetsville Zoo was started by a local farmer, Bill Swetz, in 1985, and it’s more than just animal exhibits; the entire zoo is made out of recycled plastic, metal and car parts. With over 160 sculptures ranging from dinosaurs to futuristic vehicles, the Swetsville Zoo is open from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., Monday through Saturday.

Located across from the old Fort Collins High School, a gigantic Campbell Soup can sits across the street. Signed by Andy Warhol, you can take pictures not only with a piece of art, but with a piece of history.

To finish off your day, grab a slice to eat at Totally 80’s, the only 1980s themed restaurant and museum. You can dine with Han Solo, Michael Jackson and the Terminator, while enjoying their homemade dough and sauce. With a 25 cent arcade, autographs, vintage cereal boxes and antique toys, the goal of Totally 80’s is to educate younger generations about the greatness of the ‘80s. Take a step back in time with this unique and retro location.

If you want to see a different aspect of Fort Collins, away from the busy college students, take an adventure into the past with these three vintage options. Colorado is a state full of hidden treasures, and these three don’t fall short from it. So make use of your time here and jump at the opportunity to go and see a Colorado destination.
