Stunning Garden of the Gods Park scenery, blue skies and the glory of Pikes Peak-America’s Mountain have attracted visitors to Colorado Springs for more than a century.

Let the collections at National Museum of World War II Aviation and Penrose Heritage Museum capture your imagination. Explore Colorado Springs' surroundings by going to Cañon City (Royal Gorge Bridge and Park, River Rafting & Tubing, &more), Pikes Peak Historical Society Museum (in Florissant) and Cripple Creek (Mollie Kathleen Gold Mine, Old Homestead House Museum, &more). There's still lots to do: stroll around Garden of the Gods, get in on the family fun at Cave of the Winds Mountain Park, learn more about the world around you at Expanding Minds Unlimited - The Colorado Springs Children's Museum, and get outside with Outdoor Activities.
