Manitou Cliff Dwellings, Manitou Springs

A truly unique experience. Visitors have the freedom to touch and crawl through nearly all areas of the dwellings. Interesting descriptions are posted throughout. The gift shop is large and full of interesting finds. This would probably be about a two maybe three hour adventure if sometime is bent in the gift shop. The on-site museum is small but interesting and adds to the educational component. It is certainly worth a visit with admission costs very reasonable.

We had an amazing time here. This museum is wonderful for adults and kids alike! Cliff Dwellings, museum and gift shop have all together the perfect size for a lovely day trip! The Cliff Dwellings are great and we loved to explore all rooms and read the info. There isn’t too much text and it was informative. The museum is beautiful and has many different pieces of art and offers an unexpected and loving composition. The timeline about the Cliff Dwellings inside the museum is so cool! The gift shop is outstanding and has so many things to explore too. The literature collection is great! Super friendly staff, absolutely sweet people! Thank you! We will recommend this place to everyone 🤍
