Things To Do
Garden of the Gods
This is a place special to us as this is where we did our engagement photos and had adventures here. Check it out! Free and a beautiful place to explore and truly a Colorado Springs must 😀
Manitou Springs
Manitou Springs is a historical town that is a great time for getting souvenirs and some local food.
The Incline
The Incline is the ultimate challenge! 2,744 steps straight up for an amazing view and workout. Recommend taking the trail down rather than hurting those knees going down the staircase.
Mill Hill Saloon
Check out this cool saloon! This is a special bar to us since this was part of our first big date out on the town! Prepare for a good ole country vibe, some live music some nights, and fairly cheap beer.
Joseph's Fine Dining
Call ahead for reservations for delicious food. We highly recommend and love this restaurant since it has been not only our first big date dinner, but our special night out restaurant. All items on the menu are delicious and they do have Coors Light.
Cycology Studio
The Bride, as most know, loves fitness! Come check out an indoor cycling class at the best cycling spot locally. First class is free and they provide the shoes! Bring your water, wear comfy workout attire, and go get your sweat on!
Pikes Peak
Hike, drive, take a train up to a beautiful view at 14,000 ft above sea level.
Scheels
If you just want to wander around, or maybe take kiddos to a Ferris wheel, Schells is your place. This place has all the outdoor gear you could dream of and it’s easy to walk out with a new shotgun or something for your fur kiddos for hunting. Interquest also has tons of restaurants and shops to explore, so head out to Scheels and see where you end up from there.
Old Colorado City
Historical Old Colorado City is a cool place to explore, shop, and eat while in Colorado Springs area. Check our Mother Muffs and Alchemy as those are some spots the Groom and Bride like!
Rookies Taphouse and Eatery
One of our favorite spots for lunch, dinner, or beers. Cool sports bar and the Groom recommends the Pulled Pork Green Chile Grilled Cheese.
Outlets at Castle Rock
Check out some shopping if you forgot something you needed for spin class (kidding) or for the wedding. Cool outlet mall with all the big name brands. This is about a 45-60 min drive from the Springs.
The Promenade Shops At Briargate
Another great shopping center, but a lot closer as compared to Castle Rock.
Red Rock Canyon Open Space
Another great spot to explore and see cool rock formations. This is free and open to the public.
Red Leg Brewing Company
Check out this cool brewery. Tons of different brews on tap, good vibes, and a brewery that supports our service members.
Cowboys
Looking for a night out?!? This is a fun bar with three levels featuring a dance floor, country music, pool tables, an electric bull, and karaoke. Fun time and someplace the Bride and Groom have successfully survived the bull!
Western Omelette (Original Est. 1992)
Talk about the best bloody Mary’s (or bloody Molly’s if you’re a whiskey gent or lady)! This is a great place to have breakfast or brunch and is located near downtown Colorado Springs. Come and enjoy delicious breakfast food with large portions.
Hot Asana Yoga Studio
Warm and hot yoga is best at Hot Asana! There are so many spots for yoga in town, but this one has nice studios, free first class, and great instructors.
Snooze, an A.M. Eatery
Another solid breakfast spot here in the Springs. Great food and excellent bar for those yummy morning drinks.
Thunder and Buttons II
If you’re looking for a cool spot to do Karaoke (Thursday-Saturday nights), look no further! Thunder & Buttons II features a great atmosphere, cool karaoke stage, and dancing to a variety of music. (Also a plus that it’s located in Old Colorado City.)
Cheyenne Mountain Zoo
Talk about a cool zoo! This zoo is nestled in the mountains with excellent views and cool animals. Prepare to spend a few hours here taking in the mountain views, feeding the giraffe’s, and stopping by the gift shop. This is a must if you have kiddos with you!
U.S. Olympic & Paralympic Museum
Colorado Springs is Olympic City USA! Make sure you carve out a couple hours to check out this monumental museum honoring some of the world’s best athletes.
Josh & John's
Do you have a sweet tooth? Do you like trying unique and decadent ice cream? Well snag a bite to eat at one of the many downtown restaurants in the Springs and swing on over to Josh & John’s for some Purple Mountain Majesty ice cream!
The Famous Steak House
Looking for a good steak? The Famous Steakhouse is one of the couple’s favorite spots to have delicious beer (Coors Light….along with other local brews) and hand crafted cocktails. This is an upscale place, so we recommend at least having a button down and putting on your Sunday best.
The Melting Pot
Do you like fondue? The Melting Pot is a great place to try both a cheese or sweet fondue. Definitely come to this place hungry because portions are large and are shareable. Recommend making a reservation on Open Table to ensure you can snag a booth or table as this is a popular spot in downtown Colorado Springs.
COATI
Ever been to a place with a brewery, desert, and multiple types of food all in one building? Look no further! COATI is a food hall with a cool atmosphere and food spanning several ethnicities along with some great beer and cocktails. Check this spot out!
Lost Friend Brewing Company
Dog friendly brewery with a cool and relaxed atmosphere. This brewery is a good choice for trying all different types of beer and you can take a crowler to go!
Fountain Creek Regional Park
Great park with lots of trails and ponds and even some play grounds. Not far from our home and the Bride’s favorite place to go for a run. Fishing is also allowed and you’ll see plenty of wildlife on the trails from deer, ducks, geese, and much more!
Kairos Coffee House
Community centered coffee shop with excellent brews and great pastries. Check this spot out for their old style vibe and laid back feel.
Legends Brews & Cues
Great spot for both pool and karaoke! Karaoke is for sure here Friday night and is sure to have some excellent performers and some entertaining ones too! Good drink prices and some alright bar food available too.
The Local Table
Come check this place out for weekend brunch! $4 mimosas and bloody Mary’s and good food 😀 another bonus is Monday kids eat free
La Taverne
Amazing restaurant featuring an elegant atmosphere and delectable dishes. Recommend the Bison Short Ribs with pomegranate and seasonal veggies with an ice cold Coors Light. Located in the historical Broadmoor Hotel and is a must try if you are looking for a unique dining experience. Reservations are needed, so hop on Open Table and secure your dinner or lunch spot.
