Cannot beat the cost (free) nor the views (spectacular) and it is accessible for anyone. We visit every time, and always will. A MUST!

Garden of the Gods is a beautiful place. It's also wonderful because it offers a lot of different levels of accessibility. There are paved trails so even people in wheelchairs or parents with strollers can enjoy it. It's got so much. There are short and long hikes. Lots of parking. A great visitor center and trading post. You can climb... More

The park is free to enter, is very clean, has tons of great trails, and photo-opportunities! It really is a beautiful park to visit and marvel at the rock formations!

Garden of the Gods Park in Colorado Springs was named very well. It's as if God Himself placed the giant red rocks upright and sculpted the various formations just to inspire our imaginations. The views are particularly beautiful at dusk and dawn when the changing of the light enhances the colors. There are nice hiking trails for the adventurous, and... More

I have been to lots of beautiful places around the world, but Garden of the Gods definitely places in the top 2 or 3. Great any season of the year!

Having just traveled through the amazing topography of Utah, this site was less than inspiring although we can see how it can be a respite from the busy-ness of daily life in the suburbs of Colorado Springs and Denver. However, don't make this a focal point of a cross country trip when there are so many other fascinating rock formations... More

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
