Best zoo in the world! Feed the giraffes and hang out with the free-range wallabies.

The sweetest tea room! A beautiful collection of high-quality teas to smell and shop from, as well as a place to sit and chat over fresh-brewed tea and small bites (or a full lunch if you prefer). The staff here will prepare your tea of choice in a quick little tea ceremony at your table and leave you to enjoy your company over fresh tea. You can choose to sit at a "normal" american table, or at a traditional low table where you'll take your shoes off and sit on a cushion on the floor.

I've walked in and had no problems with getting a table, but you can make a reservation if you don't want to miss this sweet experience!

Dreamy park close to everything. Easy to park at many viewpoints and walk around, or take a little afternoon drive through the whole park.

This is generally a 3.5 hour round-trip adventure. Ride the cog rail up and down Pike's Peak. See the world from the top. :) Rates are $60-$82 per person.

Manitou Springs downtown is just a cute town to park and walk around and window shop. Tons of fun places to eat or grab a coffee.
