The Visitor Center also offers free maps & information about the park, guided nature walks and free interpretive presentations. Enjoy over 30 state-of-the-art interactive exhibits. Guided van tours, rock climbing excursions and Segway tours can also be arranged.

Some of the most spectacular views of Garden of the Gods Park are accessible from the Visitor & Nature Center terrace - which spans the entire front of the building. This iconic perspective of Pikes Peak framed by the foothills and the red sandstone of the Park is simply breathtaking. The terrace is an amazing setting for a family or group photo - an important part of all memorable vacations!

The views here are beautiful on the inside, too! The award winning gift shops at the Visitor & Nature Center offer Native American pottery & jewelry, geology gifts, books, apparel & keepsakes.
