Budtender was far less than friendly and must have thought my girlfriend and I were undercover agents or something because she robotically recited all of the laws and rules for out of state and in state buyers. Very disappointing considering I would've bought much higher quantities had the service been friendly. Not sure why a staff member would take it upon themselves to treat paying customers as such without any justification but the good news is that there are countless dispensaries ready to treat their customers better. The terrapin care station in Denver on the other hand is top notch. ALL my friends and associates will be duly warned to spend their money anywhere but Terrapin Boulder....

We visited here on vacation. They required a passport for ID as we are Canadian. No big deal just had to head back to the hotel to pick them up. Totally understandable as recreational use is all still new and they're making sure they stay within the laws. So if you're not American just be prepared and bring your passport. After that service was great. We were taken straight back, no waiting, to very knowledgeable staff that helped us out with some fantastic edibles. No doubt we'll be back the next time we're in Boulder.

Great place. Great customer service. Only thing is giving people multiple packages for large purchases is ridiculous. I purchased an oz and got like 10 small containers. There has to be a way around this. Any ways still love you guys.

Everything I had hoped it would be. The staff was relaxed and to the point, but extremely helpful. I identified myself as a first timer and the wonderfully nice woman was patient and informative. I decided on White Slipper and it did not disappoint. Will definitely be shopping here again.

Nice enough staff and facility, but product quality is not consistent and prices are higher than most of the recreational dispensaries around Boulder. They almost never have what they say they do on the website,so call to confirm if you are after a specific strain.

Always a very hip, knowledgeable vibe here - great service and friendly. Sometimes the clientele is hit or miss (occasional sketchiness or elitism isn't common, but not unheard of), but that's Boulder I suppose. Still very much worth a visit, particularly to check out more obscure strains on the menu.

Terrapin definitely is one of the nicer looking dispensaries around besides the farm. (which I hate.) Most of the budtenders are nice and seem to try to help you find what you want. they've always been out of concentrates, which is why I rated them 3 stars on the medicine.

We visited the terrapin care station this summer on our trip to California. Was very impressed at the knowledge and selection. We explained that we were looking for a high CBD edible for our autistic son and figured candy or chocolate , they had both and even introduced us to the patch. It worked so well that our son actually road his first roller coaster ride at the Santa Cruz Boardwalk !!!!

Horrifying racist and misogynistic male staff behind the counter at this establishment. I walked in as a first time female customer, answered my phone, after not being explained any of the rules, and was promptly yelled at by some white guy behind the counter “to get out” of his store. He was completely respectful to the other white male customer he was already attending, but yelled at me because I answered my phone. I politely explained as I walked in that I was a first time customer - so why wasn’t the “no phone” rule explained to me beforehand? I was shocked at how this man treated me. Avoid this place at all costs!

Decent quality for pre-packaged nug, tough location if you drive, staff is pretty alright. I prefer my budtender to acutally tend my bud as opposed to just pick pre-filled jars.
Staff are all attractive younger Boulder kids & have a good vibe mostly. They took the time to talk with my older Aunt & Uncle when they visited & didnt make them feel like dumb tourists.
I only shop here in a pinch. I used to lots more before they redesigned the lobby & had an armed gaurd checking ID's (wtf was that about?!).
They are kind of the wal-mart of Boulder pot shops. You will leave with what you came for at a affordable price, but its by know means a craft experience.

they seemed very knowledgeable and had a great selection I liked the organized fashion they run with and the security at the door.

Great bud, great options and fun bud tenders! The first bud tender we had recited all the rules to us right away which was a little off-putting but she was very nice otherwise. We even liked it so much we came back two days later to get some more!

The security is a great measure for such a busy business, the guy was totally chill too so its not like you are being persecuted. sales floor lighting was a tad bit dim, and the air was a bit stuffy, but everything was presented nicely and appealing. The bud tender was a stellar salesman, although very fast paced. He properly encouraged the daily deal witch worked out for me very much, as i wanted several strains to try out, he even picked a wide range of strains that peaked my interest. Unfortunately, the place seemed too focused on sales than consumers. Prices were okay, for boulder, but still steep.
When i got home i found my buds were EXTREMELY dry, they broke to dust and flared up fast. Well suited for vaping however smoking required reconstituting them. Aside from the lack of any moisture what so ever, the quality of the product is pretty much gold, so don't be deterred. From a friend i hear their medical locations have fresher bud, but i cant confirm.
Overall a good experience, good range of products, just not my cuppa tea.

On my first trip to Denver since legalization, I stopped by Terrapin per the advice of a good friend. I was very surprised with the friendly attitudes of the staff, even when a hostile potential customer was refused to be let in, due to a temporary license issue. They went out of their way not to sell me anything, but give me advice based on what I was requesting and discussing with my girlfriend about strains, waxes, and edibles. After visiting a few other shops during the trip, I returned to Terrapin for some excellent top shelf Durban Poison, and the top-tier service they provided too.

Best spot in the aurora area. Never a wait time and the staff is always friendly and knowledge. They'll get to know you and then bring you their recommendations. The prices can't be beat and the flower to the wax has never let me down. Glad to see this place expanding.

I didn't know what to expect when changing over from Medical to Recreational, figured it wouldn't be as good. Terrapin Care Station made the transition a breeze! On top of that the product was excellent, made me a firm believer that recreational is a great route for any and all!! Thanks Terrapin!

Out of all the places I've been this is by far the best. The staff are friendly and easy going yet still professional at all times.
The bud tenders are cool know their inventory , and are able to make suggestions based on what they have and what you describe to them what you want.
The store is nice and calming, laid out well and comfortable. I've never had to wait more than a few minutes and never felt rushed.
This is my go to place.
