The Lighthouse Bookstore
The Lighthouse Bookstore has anchored the Pearl Street Mall since 1986, filling two floors with metaphysical books, tarot decks, crystals, and an ever-rotating roster of psychic readers available for walk-in aura photos, palm readings, and tarot sessions daily from 11:30am to 6pm. It is Boulder's best-known destination for spiritual curiosity and the genuinely strange.
The move: Walk the Pearl Street Mall to The Lighthouse, browse the two floors of occult and spiritual books together, then each book a short walk-in psychic or tarot reading — compare what the readers tell you over coffee afterward at one of the nearby cafes.
📍 Before you go The Lighthouse sits on the 1200 block of the Pearl Street Mall, Boulder's brick pedestrian stretch — you can't drive to the door, so park in a downtown garage (the 11th/Spruce and 15th/Pearl structures bookend the mall) or grab a metered street spot, free on Sundays, and walk in. It's a two-floor browse, so leave time to wander both levels. Readings are walk-in rather than appointment-only, but which readers are working shifts day to day, so don't pin your evening on a specific person — and weekend afternoons get busiest. The mall is packed with cafes and shops for an easy before-or-after pairing. Hours shift seasonally, so check ahead.
