PLAY ON
Colorado Springs is dubbed “Olympic City USA” for a reason. The city is home to the world-class United States Olympic & Paralympic Museum, which takes groups through a variety of interactive exhibits and features real artifacts from the Games. Also celebrating sports history in Colorado Springs is the ProRodeo Hall of Fame, which aims to educate visitors on the history and impact of rodeo. Or, bring your group to the World Figure Skating Museum & Hall of Fame to explore another iconic sport.
MARVEL
If there’s one thing your group won’t find lacking all over the state of Colorado, it’s scenic beauty. It just so happens that Colorado Springs is home to several truly iconic natural attractions. Pikes Peak, affectionately nicknamed “America’s Mountain,” overlooks the city. For those hoping to climb the 14,115-foot mountain, groups should look to The Broadmoor Manitou & Pikes Peak Cog Railway, which carries guests on more than an hour-long journey up to the Summit Visitor Center. Looking for something a little closer to sea level? No worries. Your group can uncover 300 million years of geological history at the Garden of the Gods, a park boasting breathtaking structures, 15 miles of hiking and walking trails, educational programming, and guided tours. Also reachable from the area is Broadmoor Seven Falls, a series of seven cascading waterfalls that descends 180 feet amidst a picturesque canyon.
TASTE
For a truly authentic Western experience that combines good food with fun activities, bring your group to Flying W Ranch. Before treating them to a genuine chuckwagon supper, enjoy an afternoon exploring the ranch, which features animals, a miniature train, archery, ax throwing, live music, Native American dancing demonstrations, and opportunities for your guests to try their hand at cattle roping.
