6 days in Colorado Springs Itinerary

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.

Family-friendly places like Garden of the Gods and Rock Ledge Ranch Historic Site will thrill your kids. Step off the beaten path and head to Battlefield Colorado and Rocky Mountain Dinosaur Resource Center. Get out of town with these interesting Colorado Springs side-trips: Victor's Gold Camp Ag & Mining Museum (in Victor) and Florissant Fossil Beds National Monument (in Florissant). There's lots more to do: find something for the whole family at North Pole - Santa's Workshop, explore the historical opulence of Miramont Castle Museum, explore the world behind art at Michael Garman Museum & Gallery, and shake up your sightseeing with a climbing tour.
