How well do you think you know Vail? Test your knowledge in the Vail Scavenger Hunt.
The town of Vail and area businesses have teamed up to provide many opportunities for socially distant and outdoor fun this year due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The Vail Scavenger Hunt is the latest new offering. The whole game is set up to be touch-free except for taking photos on your own phone, all while teaching people about the history of Vail and encouraging interaction with the area’s landmarks.
Some of Vail’s efforts to help guests have fun while staying safe this season include the Magic of Lights Vail display at the Betty Ford Alpine Gardens, as well as roaming musicians and street-side food and drink counters, operated and managed by in-town businesses.

It’s the last weekend for the Magic of Lights Vail, a brand new attraction that fills the nights with fun and wonder after a great day on the slopes. Magic of Lights Vail is a walk-through display of colorful lights and winter-themed displays consisting of 500,000 lights along a half mile path throughout Betty Ford Alpine Gardens and the Lower Bench of Ford Park. The area is large enough to allow for social distancing and reservations are set so there’s a specific number of people allowed into the area at one time.
Magic of Lights is taking over the Betty Ford Alpine Gardens now until Jan. 24. While it opened last month, if you haven’t yet seen the colorful display, now’s the time to head over, before it’s too late. This family-friendly winter attraction will bring smiles to faces young and old. I definitely made some memories last weekend with my boyfriend and his family.
