We have been here before and still find it breathtaking. Fun for the family and picturesque. This is a free experience. For those that don't want to walk around, driving is easy and the views are outstanding. Information center has a souvenir shop and movie. Easy access off I25.

The "garden" consists of a large tract of land including some beautiful rock formations. The attraction is free. There is a large educational center that appears to be new and includes clean bathrooms, a place to eat, gift shop, and a theater. There are several hiking trails available. Some are paved and perfect for any age or ability, including those... More

THIS is the best aspect of Colorado Springs. And it's all FREE! Awesome sandstone and limestone red rock formations soar into the sky, traced along the ground by winding, well-marked walkways and dirt trails. I've always found all this breathtaking against the backdrop of Pikes Peak. Been here too many times to count, so I'm surprised I haven't reviewed it... More

Surprisingly there was no admission charge to see and walk through these beautiful rock formations. Be sure to wear suitable hiking/walking attire to walk the trails off of the main road. While the view is terrific no matter where you are, I highly recommend getting off the paved road and walking through the area on the trails that circle through... More

We only spent about half an hour walking around these amazing rocks, and it was only because we had limited time that we didn't explore further. It was fairly obvious, from the number of people that were there at the time, that this place is pretty popular and I know that if I lived in Colorado Springs it would be... More

The park itself can get pretty crowded but if you go at off times the hiking is great and is suited more towards travlers. The rocks themselves are about as cool and interesting as rocks get if you are not a geologist. If you enjoy rocks and nature this is a great place to go in Colorado Springs.

Garden of the Gods is a series of impressive natural rock formations that are worth your visit. A drive through the park is enjoyable, but if you have the time, park your car and see it and touch it to get a real sense for the beauty and magnitude of the formations. Lived in this area for 20+ years and... More

I mean....what's not to like, if you aren't an active person you don't even have to walk around to appreciate the beauty of this place, but my husband and I like to hike, so there are heaps of trails and climbs all over this place! Just Go!
