Frequently asked
- Is the play area off-leash and supervised?
- Dogs play off-leash indoors and out, with staff members known as Skippers watching the floor the whole time. Reviewers credit them with stepping in early and making reasonable corrections of owners when a pairing gets rough.
- Is there a fee to get in?
- Yes. Admission is paid rather than free, and daycare, boarding, grooming and photo sessions are priced separately. Rates are set by the venue, so confirm them before a first visit.
- Is Skiptown Denver a good option in bad weather?
- That is the main reason regulars keep coming back. The indoor park runs year-round, so a February snowstorm or a 95-degree August afternoon does not cancel the outing.
- Can small dogs and puppies go?
- Yes. Reviewers bring dogs of every size and describe the play as well matched, and one owner traces her dog's confidence around both big and small dogs to starting here as a puppy. Dogs need to be old enough and vaccinated first.
- What is there for owners while the dogs play?
- A bar serving beer, cocktails and coffee sits alongside the park, with pup cups available on the way out. Trivia and bingo nights draw an evening crowd, and seasonal events run through the year.
