favorite attractions in Colorado Springs

We are looking for advice on attractions to see while in Colorado Springs. Not interested in shopping, places to eat, or hikes over a half mile. We should be there a week. Thanks.

  • In addition to the above suggestions, there's also the Manitou Incline Railway that goes to the top of Pikes Peak; the town itself is also a fun place to visit, even though you're not interested in shopping. There's still much to see there. And that's just the tip of the iceberg...

    T H I S from Trip Advisor, with a myriad of things to see and do in the Springs/Pikes Peak Region. Pick and choose what appeals to you.

    Not the place I could spend a week - Garden of the God's - USAFA - Broadmoor -Pikes Peak - Zoo - then get on Rt 24 heading West to Buena Vista and the Collegiate Peaks, Great drive and the Collegiate Peaks are just awesome.

    JMHO,
  • The view from my site at Cheyenne Mountain State Park was amazing, especially at night.
  • Garden of the gods is a favorite attraction there. I think there is cliff dwellings and cave of the winds down there.
