Stunning. There are lots of walking trails. They are easy enough. Some slightly harder due to a steps but there are plenty more accessible walks. The views are stunning and out of this world!

Absolutely gorgeous place. Must visit. Get your water, your sunscreen, comfortable shoes and go explore it for yourself. So many good hiking trails and very well maintained park. The visitors center is absolutely fantastic! I want everything from it. You will find present for all your friends and family. Highly recommended.

Very cool tranquil place with some amazing rock formations made centuries upon centuries ago. Definitely a must see once. Clean and well preserved due to the blocked off walkways. The monstrous Pikes peak in the background really make it a dramatic mesmerizing place to just sit and take in nature. I’d rather the city not have touched the grounds by making concrete walkways and paths in and around the garden but it did make for an easier walk I suppose. Very good spots for pictures andjust an easy relaxing experience taking in natural beauty. I feel like it could’ve been left more untouched that what is was for such a natural wonder of Colorado.

Its a beautiful place for a day hike or a permit climb! Easy access and parking with lots of paved walkways. Park at the visitor center for a longer hike or to join tours. Handicap accessible with short walks from different areas for the elderly. Spotless, well kept public facilities. Birds enjoy the cliffs as well. A must see if youre in the area!

Nice trail with beautiful view of the natural rocks. You must go here if you in colorado spring area, it free entrance and beautiful scenic and good place for rock climbing

What a beautiful place to hike with your family and enjoy the wonderful rock formations. Their are so many nook and crannies to explore. The best place for rock climbing. It reminds me of Vazquez Rocks in California but a much grandeur scale. Worth the trip

This is one of the most beautiful places. Lots of walking trails well paved or you can climb a little and get off the beat and oathof youre certified have gear and get a permit you can actually climb You can also just drive through it youre not able to walk or dont have the time. Lastly its totally free! Gorgeous rock formations and beautiful landscapes with a nice visitor center and gift store where you can watch some videos.

An absolute must if you are in the area! Free park entry, beautiful sites, and clean facilities. You can drive around and just pull off if you are not much of a hiker, or if you do hike you could hike all day long. Everything is very impressive and much bigger than you expect. I highly recommend you come here if you are anywhere near the area, it is well worth the time

A must see. I will definitely be back to walk the trails and explore more next time I make it back to Colorado.I highly suggest taking the off-road trail through the park and into Pikes Peak National Forest. The views are amazing, and the roads arent bad. We were in a stock Jeep, but we seen people in cars driving. Not saying it doesnt get bad, it just never did with us, at least at any part we went to. (We stayed straight, and came straight back out)

Looking for some fun free activities Garden of the Gods is the place to go!Absolutely beautiful scenery! Lots of trails and beautiful views. Several parking areas along the way. You can either hike on your own or go on a guided tour or you can drive thru and park to go explore. Either way make to take some water for your hikes.

Very beautiful trails. I wish they had more maps up because I got lost and had to ask for directions on my way back to the visitor center. I really enjoyed coming here though.

Amazing place to take pictures. Theres endless trails and beautiful scenery. Take a stroll on foot or drive through the scenic posts spread through the landmark. Youll surely want to move in!

Garden of the Gods is such a beautiful serene park. If your thinking of going, go! It is breathtaking. They have restrooms which is nice, as well as ample parking. The trails are very well maintained and clearly marked. It is easy to get to and lots to do in the area.

The are lots of different trails and the views are spectacular. Definitely make sure that youre are wearing comfortable shoes for hiking. This place is kid friendly, there is lots of different parking spots with plenty of wheelchair accessible spots. This beautiful Garden of the Gods is free of cost. It is best to come early in the morning to avoid crowds because this place gets packed afternoon especially on weekends. If youre visiting CO, I highly recommend this place, God knew what He was doing when he created this garden because it is absolutely beautiful.

Everyone told us to go, so we made our decision at the last minute. We dont regret going the Rock formations were amazing. The park was full of people everyone was wearing mask & social distancing. We had a great day. We highly recommend.

Park was really nice and clean restrooms are so much better than last time we visited. Good place to visit during time when everyone is working during the week. Don’t recommend visiting during holiday or weekends too many people, many not willing to wear their masks.

Must watch spot in Colorado. Entry is free but little difficult to get the parking space. Its one of the wedding destination we saw more than three weddings on same day. The canyons looks really cool and the places are photogenic. We got so many beautiful pics . Best for a walk as well.

What a beautiful park and great trails! So many to choose from and easy to navigate. We really enjoyed our visit and couldn’t believe the view. My 3 yr old found the trails easy to walk and didn’t have much trouble. I can definitely see myself coming here and exploring some more. I would recommend this to any nature enthusiast or anyone with a sense of adventure.

Great views and beautiful area. The visitor center was clean and reinforce social distancing as well as wearing the masks. While walking on the path some wear the masks others didnt even thought it was required at all times.

This had amazing views and great walking trails. There were also biking, jeep, regular driving, and various other your options to take in the natural scenery. The actual visitor center was decent but the gift shop could have been better. The maps were slightly for the trails but thankfully the trails are pretty much a big circle so youll eventually get back to the beginning even if you get lost.

Beautiful views. Such a gift that you can access it for free! We did the electric bike tour at the visitors center and it was awesome! Austin was our guide and he was great. Was able to take pictures at some of the best spots and ride through the entire park. We also hiked 10+ miles of trails on separate days. Beautiful scenery and some challenging hikes if you are up for it! Make sure to use a trail app or the map from the visitors center as lots of trails intersect. Awesome experience!

What a magnificent place to visit. The shapes and colors of the rocks are beautiful. The place was very clean and organized. We only visited these rocks but there are many other hiking places close for the family and experts to enjoy. I’m planning to go back in January to see it covered with snow.

This was so beautiful and definitely worth the drive from Denver! We loved walking around and found it extremely easy to navigate. They arent limiting the number of people or enforcing masks, thats the only downside. When we went there were plenty of friendly dogs, thrill seekers rope climbing up the cliffside, and many other unique things to see.

One of the most breathtaking experiences of my life.Not only should you park your car and walk around but just soak up this beautiful artwork that is so present in front of you.Just an amazing place that leaves you in awe

This is a truly magical part of the world. Huge, colorful monoliths that have been beautifully carved by nature over millions of years. There is a well designed road network so you can enjoy the park from your car, or walk the many hiking paths.

Im glad they were foreword thinking enough to preserve this natural space near downtown Colorado Springs. Good hiking/biking paths and adequate parking. A good place to spend the day...pack a lunch.

Amazing - 3 adult and two dogs - and a simply amazing day...It is mind blowing how old the rock formations around the park are and how we are a millisecond in the timeline of history!It is a must see if in the immediate area!(sorry for all the pic - but it is amazing here!)

Very cool spot. Definitely a must see when visiting co springs. I navigated to the visitor center and had to walk an extra 15-20 minutes to the actual trail so make sure to navigate to the trail not the visitor center but the visitor center is cool to check out too!

Beautiful! I didnt want to leave, but it was 15° outside. If you plan to go in the winter or fall ( we went in October), be careful. We got stuck in the snow! My husband and I and another couple were helping each other out. Otherwise, its breathtaking. Go see it! Ill definitely go again but I plan to go in the spring or summer.

Every time I visit Colorado, Garden of the Gods is a must-see. The visitor center does their best to control crowd/foot traffic, but there are a lot of people. I ran in to use the restroom (clean!) And quickly decided to head out to the trails, as I wanted to maintain a good social distance. It was the most overcast Ive seen it, so the tops of the rocks were up in the clouds. It was very tranquil. Make sure to bring warm clothing, as this is pretty high up in the Rockies.

Absolutely breathtaking! Easy to navigate. Well-paved roads. Hikes that are family-friendly. Check out the trading post and ask for a map. Definitely not to miss!

Absolutely stunning area to see. I could spend days just walking around and find something new and unique to see. I cant wait to come back and experience this marvel once again!

Very picturesque place to visit for the entire family with some available trails and climbing opportunities (must have permit and climbing gear). Bring your camera for many photo opportunities. Visitor center has a free, native animal exhibit and a low priced movie. Theres also a venue for food and refreshments. The inexpensive movie is worth seeing as it offers informative historical and geological information of the area.The venue is also popular with the locals for small wedding ceremonies.

Visiting this site was more of a spiritual visit. Just a extremely peaceful feeling when u pull on to the property. Then once you are completely engulfed in these amazing rock formations is completely out of this world. Without a doubt my favorite place Ive ever been.

Amazing place for kids. The visitor center is very educational. The whole place is really beautiful.

This is one of the best places to visit. I had a great time exploring the area. There are a lot of trails and a huge gift shop. It was extremely busy when I was there so give yourself plenty of time. Jeff Mullins Photography Adventures. Get Your Hike On!

A friend recommended this place, and I am so glad we went. It is an astounding site to see! I love that it can be a quick trip via vehicle and/or a longer visit via trails. I would highly suggest trails; you get different views from different angles. Not to mention, you can go more at your own pace as opposed to not feeling rushed as you drive around with traffic behind you.If you do decide to walk, parking around the trails was atrocious! There was a little bit of availability in the larger parking lots closer to the trails. The visitor center seemed to be guaranteed parking if you dont mind a little more of a walk.By no fault of the park, we tried to go into the visitor center just to use the bathroom and there was no way I was standing in that line! I was told to go before 10 am or after 4 pm and its not as bad. Unfortunately, the bladder didnt care what time it was! Almost after it was too late, we did realize they had a mobile restroom in one of the bigger parking lots.

The park was PACKED when we arrived by 11am. The bottom parking lot was completely full so we drove up a bit until we got to a parking lot that was by the restroom and platform. It would probably be better for you to get there as soon as it’s open so you can hike up. We didn’t get a long hike since we skipped the line. There are so many photo ops. I feel like we couldn’t get to all the cool parts of the park since there was so many people.

Nice park with mostly paved paths that are flat. Definitely wheelchair accessible. Check out the visitors center first. Note that the interactive museum is currently closed due to COVID. Drive to the main parking lot and take the Perkins Garden trail to see the main rock formations up close. Might see some rock climbers too, which is interesting to watch!

This place is wonderful. This is nothing like this Texas girl has ever seen. If you have a while, take your hiking shoes, and see all this place has to offer. The views are amazing. I highly recommend you carve some time out of your trip to this beautiful place. It is free of cost. It will not disappoint you!

Beautiful park with outstanding rock features. Great for dogs and Mountain Climbers. Walk the complete park in about an hour. Parking is horrendous though. Go early and mid week to avoid crowds.

Love this place!! I lived in Colorado for over 20yrs... And while this is a touristy place to visit, its still really cool and a place that I grew to enjoy and visit different areas, each time... Its beautiful and even with lots of other people, you still have a chance of taking in breathtaking views of the red rocks jetting out of the ground... Just beautiful. Go early!!

Beautiful and just a stunning sunrise moment! Will hopefully come back once life gets to be a more normal life.

Kind of like Monument Valley on a microscopic basis. Pretty cool rock features and the walking trails are mostly flat and paved. A couple of very modern and clean bathrooms as well. Parking can be a problem on the weekends so best to visit during the week.

One of the most beautiful places Ive ever seen in my entire life! The air is so crisp and clean. People are friendly on the trails. Its a must! Nice to go with the family/couples/children. I was impressed. I will definitely go back.

Amazing place. The color contrast is fantastic. Great hiking and biking area, too! Love this place. The visitors center has some great artifacts and history .

Literally, I cannot say how beautiful this place is in words. You will not regret this visit. Its so life changing as you walk through the park and experience a freedom to Nature. A picture is not enough, be sure to sit down and soak in all the beauty it offers. Hope this motivates someone to come visit! I LOVE this place! Have a wonderful day. Very Highly recommend this location

Great place to visit!! The view is amazing, great place to go hiking and snap some pics. Go early to take time and enjoy as much as you can of this place.

Garden of the Gods park is full of great pure energy, you can fell it from first step on that land, from the first inhale to the hike or bicycle ride, it is nothing but charge for your body and soul! Other than popular tourist locations, the park also has plenty of trails, where you can enjoy mountain bike workout, horse riding or running and not being surrounded by the crowd. If you have never been to that park, you shall not miss it!I dont know about visitor center, havent visited it, but I am pretty sure they will be glad to help you though.

Really interesting geological features, making for some beautiful scenery and photo ops. Climbers must obtain a permit and have reliable gear. Driving loop provides different perspectives of the geology and walking path accessibility. ADA friendly Park stamps available at the info desk; visitor center has exhibits and theres even a coffee shoppe. Enjoyed, returned

While I didnt get to stop here too long to walk around (since I was riding on my road bike) I will say the views are awesome. Passed through here on a bike ride and sights are really neat. Definitely recommend coming by here to see all of the natural formations. I passed through during a weekday lunch hour and it was pretty busy. Also, nice restroom facilities at the first parking lot stop.

I am from Colorado Springs but that doesnt stop me from going there every time I come back home to visit. It never gets old and is a gorgeous place to see. I am thankful I have been able to share it with my husband, kids and now starting on grandkids. This place is a must see on any visit. You will never regret it.

Loved it, a quite place that lives on with the natural beauty of its given name.Very highly recommended to spend time here.

Beautiful and well-maintained park - cant believe it is free! There are family friendly trails, suitable for young kids and also those who require wheelchair assistance. Had a wonderful time here.

A stunning example of Colorados geology! The park is smaller than I expected, goes pretty quick if you just drive through it. However I suggest starting at the visitors center and then take the trail that loops from the visitors lot, it hits most of the major sites.

I recommend this park to everyone, especially if theyve never been to Colorado before. The park isnt that far of a drive from Denver if youre staying in that area. The park is fairly large and there are different things to see throughout the park, such as the standing rock.

It was stunning! Had a very fun time walking the trails and enjoying the breathtaking scenery. Bring lots and lots of water. Stop by the Trading Post, they have more souvenirs inside than the visitors center. There is also beautiful artwork that I think is locally made. Will go back again to get sunrise and sunset shots. Not many people are wearing masks outside even though its crowded. But inside it is mandatory to wear a mask.

WOW. What a beautiful park. The contrast if the red rock against the green trees, really make this place beautiful.Paths are well marked, and various degrees of hiking can be had. Easy to expert climbing. If you plan on climbing the expert areas, you will need to get a permit.You can also see Pikes Peak from this park.You can spend as little as an hour up to a full day at this park.

We visited the area for the first time and I gotta tell you; this was a spectacular place to hike for the day. We thoroughly enjoyed the 7 hours of hiking we spent in the park.The beauty of the rock formations were amazing!!

Beautiful place. My husband and I love going in mid August (great weather) weve encountered deer just wondering around the trails. And dogs are welcomed.

Its a gorgeous place. Gets a little overcrowded especially parking in the park but its fun to walk around and imagine how these rocks formed. If I lived near here Im sure Id enjoy hiking more of the trails.

Limited on the interactive learning due to Covid, but the museum/exhibits were beautiful. Very informative, we enjoyed our time inside. We also did a jeep tour (short loop, 2 hours) and our guide was Scout! He was fantastic, and we learned so much. Awesome experience!

Surreal standing rocks and lush mountain greenery, ancient oaks and weathered stone... Garden of the Gods is aptly named. The views will take your breath away, and thankfully there are plenty of secluded areas to recover said breath. An excellent hiking and sightseeing spot indeed.

One of the best places in the world. There is a lot of fun and exciting trails, walks views, and more. Parking can be a little crowded, but you can avoid the main entrance parking and use some other parking lots. If you have to, you can park in the dog park at the entrance near the visitors center. Good trails for bicycles or walk/run. It has a full concrete sidewalk going all around the central attractions that is great for anyone who uses a walker or wheelchair. A must-see if youre on vacation. Lots of photography opportunities at every corner. If you have the time, balancing rock on the way out of the park going west (Manitou Springs) exit. If you take the time to explore, you can always find a place to go with little or no people.

Cool place to visit, NO charge to get in. Drive around the park or hike inside (which is best). Very nice visitors center with an information desk and maps of the park. Also a lot of educational/ informational things to see, read, and learn about. Helpful, friendly staff.

Great day with the family. Stroller friendly path, 360 degree video of time travel from dinosaurs to present day explaining rock formation, lots of pictures with the family on beautiful back drops of the rocks. Many options to explore, you can walk, drive, take a Jeep tour, trolly tour. We walked today but maybe on a date with just my husband and no kids we could do the 90 min Jeep tour.

Beautiful area so close to Colorado springs. Trails for all levels of hiking. Watch your markers though we missed a turn and hiked a mile out of our way. Was worth it because we got to see 2 baby deer.

Beautiful scenery! Beautiful photo opportunities! But no water or bathroom in sight. Bring plenty of water and use the potty before you come lol.

So beautiful. although I did have a hard time making it up there because Im from sea level it was pretty cool to see one of natures miracles. God is a wonderful artist.

Garden of the Gods Park and Visitor Center is amazing. The views from both ends are spectacular. I would visit again because I did not see everything I needed to see on the map.Getting to the park was fairly easy with Google Maps. Parking is limited but ample space majority of the time. Views are spectacular.Due to weather conditions, we came on two separate days: one for the visitor center and the other for the park.The exhibits at the Garden of the Gods Visitor Center were very informative. We even watched a show in the Geo-trekker Theater. If you are debating whether to visit the Geotrekker Theater, do it if its open. It is well worth your money and time.When we ventured to the Garden of the Gods Park in Colorado Springs, it was beautiful but not as amazing as I expected the day prior. It was too crowded, so a suggestion would be to arrive as early as possible, to avoid the crowd.If this place is not on your must-visit list, you should add it primarily because its free and its an experience worth experiencing.

Beautiful place to hike, run, or drive through. Parking is usually full on the weekends. There are some fun trails towards near Hanging Rock that are usually less busy than the main trails.

Went yesterday and most people were not wearing masks. People were rude and crowding your personal spaces. This was all days after the county went from orange to red. COVID is surging here and i understand why. It was next to impossible to enjoy the place with all of this.

Stopped at Garden of the Gods on our way to Rocky Mountain NP. Decided to this instead of pikes peak, which I don’t regret as there are plenty of other peaks you can see in the Rocky Mountain Area.Amazing rock formations and very easy to traverse. Still a good idea to wear decent shows a d bring water. Wear your mask right now though because there were a good number of people there on a weekday.

Amazing park to visit. We only had a chance to drive it. Next time we will definitely be walking it.

Great... well kept, good staff, lots of fun. The exhibits are very engaging and interesting. The visitor center gets very packed in warmer months and around holidays, so I suggest going early to avoid crowds.

Amazing hike, very easy and worth while. Anyone can go out here for a bit to see the formations. There is a nice paved walkway for those who dont want to get too dirty as well as hiking paths that run all around the part. Couldnt recommend this place more if youre in the area and have an hour or more on your hands.

Views are breathtaking. The hike is fairly easy and its not packed with people. Garden of the Gods is a must see if you are coming to Colorado.

Beautiful views! Unfortunately it was PACKED when we went (on a Friday). It was difficult to pull over and take pictures because there were so many people there. We enjoyed our time here, though and soaked in the scenery as much as we could.

Even though we just drove through and didnt get out to explore, it was still an awesome experience! The scenery was beautiful! You have to stop in at the trading post! Lots of fun souvenirs and gifts!

Loved this. We had a wonderful time here and I can’t wait to come back when the weather turns warmer!

One of the best place I visited. Really cool place for family and friends.

Gorgeous scenery, so fun to hike around. Dog friendly and a great place to picnic. Bring your bikes! Photo ops everywhere

A beautiful place to go to for stress relief. This is what makes Colorado stand out from the other states. This is my second home in Colorado! Colorado Springs.

I enjoyed every minute being out here in this hike! Did a 4 hour hike nothing tok hard but I love the views of everything and the people are always fun.

This site is bucket list amazing! Lots to see and do. Very clean, had a place to fill water up and use the bathroom, but its out in direct sun so I recommend sunscreen, hat, water bottle, and of course, a camera to take a million pictures of the out of this world landscape. Will definitely be back!

Reminds me a lot of southern Utah.The park is great for all people. It has easy stroller friendly paths as well as some stairs and even climbing some of the rocks.My children could have spent hours just playing in the rocks and exploring.The only complaint is the place is quite busy (not enough to ruin the experience but I would recommend going on a weekday).There were also people climbing the rocks in designated areas. Apparently you need a permit for that.

Another of Colorados natural beauties! Thank the Perkins family for the preservation of this GORGEOUS park. All attached photos were taken along pathways within the Garden of the Gods.

Amazing views, great amenities, trails are caps nice, restrooms nice, I love coming here for hikes and family outings, could not be any more beautiful representation of Colorado is red rocks!

Its a good place to get get your bearings at Garden of gods. Informative, fun exhibits; great views and friendly people. Many thanks to the Asian (Japanese?) tourist who snapped this amazing pic. I dont know how he got made the dinosaur look 3D!

Excellent place for a hike or climb or even a casual stroll on well paved roads. Theres a Trading Post for souvenirs, bathroom and coffee and snack breaks.

This an outstanding location! We brought our grandson here and we had a wonderful time. I highly recommend it.

The unique views that are set in this natural wonder cannot be surpassed if you have an infinity for the mountains. Either on the main trails or decide for a little more challenge on the horse trails there is never the same visit twice. Pikes Peak stands tall above the park with the spines of the park leading up to the mountain base. Another vantage of the park is when Air Force football is active. The fly overs happen above the park, so photographing a B-52 or other aircraft flying in front of the peak is always an opportunity. You have to follow park rules: stay on the trails, clean up after family and animals, and no base climbing. To vertical scale in the park one must check in with the ranger station. People being stranded on the face of kissing camels is not a new event, but if you get caught up, then guarantee a lot of attention, period. From young to the old, I have never heard Im bored. Garden of the Gods is a must visit if you journey to Colorado, and especially if you are coming direct to Colorado Springs...

The paths were really nice! People were respectful and it was very clean! Pets were welcomed and of the 10+ we encountered, all were well behaved!

Very good. Highly recommend. We had a nice visit. Hiking trails on the private property were great. I have added one photo from our hike. Next time we will stay in the Castle!

Stunning views! The gift shop had some fantastic interactive displays, but these are not available now due to the virus. I really enjoy the hikes with my dogs. There are lots of different trails to hike and a large parking lot. An absolutely beautiful day of adventure!

Absolutely beautiful, Can not even explain in word the beautiful scenery, it was free to go through the nature center and the park. The employees were very gracious and service oriented. Will go back ag as in.

Great scenery, but only go right now if you enjoy excessive amounts of visitors not wearing masks. There seemed to be no encouragement/enforcement of this whatsoever.

Went on the Shortline Jeep tour with Sidewinder! Would HIGHLY recommend him as your tour guide. He is super friendly and super informative about the history of Colorado and the science behind the rocks and the mountians. He also took pictures of me and my wife in the jeep at a few stops in the tour which I thought was really thoughtful. Waterfalls in Shortline werent all that impressive but the rest of the tour absolutely unbelievable. Stunning views from the railroad bed. Again would highly recommend and ask for Sidewinder!

Beautiful views and great trails around here. Its such a large area you can easily go out but still distance yourself. I would suggest trying to get there before 9 because the parking does get hectic!

Garden of the Gods is my favorite place in the Springs. I must say that it even beats the Peak. The main walking paths are wonderful, but if you venture a bit west of the main rock formations you will find more trails that require a little more effort, but not much. Its easy to spend an entire day here, again and again!!
