Is Colorado Springs a good place for the family vacation? <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Colorado Springs is a great vacation spot for families with small children. As the second-largest city in Colorado, you will find many outdoor and indoor things to do and fun parks to play in. It’s location up against the foothills, is the perfect mix between the modern city and natural wonder. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In terms of family attractions, you’ll find enough to fill any length itinerary, with many showing off the beautiful natural scenery. Whether you are looking for a hike with your family, educational experience, indoor activity or scenic drive, you can find something to do with small children. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition, the area is rich in art and history. Your family will find plenty of exciting spots that will immerse you in the unique culture of Colorado. From art festivals to museums, to zoos, to awe-inspiring nature, Colorado Springs has it all. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Most activities on this list are free things to do for toddlers and babies in Colorado Springs. Not everything is free though, Cheyenne Mountain Zoo costs 75 cents for children under 2 years old. So I have included the price for each location. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Activities to do in Colorado Springs with Toddlers<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Garden of The Gods<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

With 1,300 acres of sandstone formations, the Garden of the Gods<\/a> is one awesome city park (technically it should be in the favorite park section of this post). Surprisingly it’s free .. forever. We have visited with toddlers and big kids and can say you will not be disappointed by this must-see National Natural Landmark in Colorado Springs.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can take in the view for free from your car, take a short (or long) hike, scramble around on the rocks and picnic at one of the 2 areas. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Playing on the rocks was the favorite activity in our family. (Yes, unlike Arches National Park<\/a>, you can climb on the rocks.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the visitor center<\/a>, you can learn more about how the rocks were formed, and also take some time to shop for souvenirs or eat at the cafe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is likely the best park for toddlers in Colorado Springs.  I included it here though because it is so much more than a city park.  I wrote an in-depth review of our visit to the Garden of the Gods here<\/strong><\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can’t actually camp in Garden of the Gods but you can stay close at the Garden of the Gods Club and resort, with 2 pools and family rooms. Check prices and make reservations here. <\/a><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
