Here is the list of Things To Do In Colorado With Toddlers:
Cheyenne Mountain Zoo
America’s mountain Zoo is home to over 800 species. Through interactive demonstrations and educational presentations, children can learn more about these species. They will have fun in multiple play areas, and they can hand-feed the largest captive giraffe herd.
The North Pole – Home Santa’s Workshop
Is there anything more magical than visiting Santa at the North Pole? This holiday-themed amusement park is nestled in the pine forest just above Cascade. It offers rides, shows, and a petting area from May through Christmas Eve.
Dinosaur Resource Center
See amazing fossils of T.Rexes, raptors, and flying reptiles, as well as huge carnivorous fish, life restorations, and other life forms. As they look at a functioning fossil preparation laboratory, children can see a possible future in paleontology.
Penny Arcade
You’ll teach your children to be responsible with their money at this retro arcade in Manitou Springs. There are many vintage games, including pinball and skeeball. There are also modern games. Play the ponies, too!
May Natural History Museum
This kid magnet is affectionately called “the bug museum” and houses one of the most remarkable collections of insects, related creatures, and rare artifacts from exotic locations in the late 19th century and early 20th century. This impressive collection was purchased by Ripley’s Believe it or Not.
Cripple Creek And Victor Narrow Railroad
Cripple Creek’s century-old steam locomotive will take you on a 45-minute journey through scenic and historic mining towns like Victor and Cripple Creek. Children will love the train’s speed and size.
Bear Creek And Fountain Creek Nature Centers
You can explore endless trails and observe wildlife and take advantage of the many educational programs offered at the center throughout the year. For example, you can view the indoor/outdoor honey beehive to see if the queen is there. Also, see how your wingspan compares with the regional bird species.
Ghost Town Museum
This indoor museum shows an Old Western town built from the same structures that once belonged to a thriving mountainside community. Print out a “wanted poster”, crank up the player piano, and aim at the shooting gallery. Or, you can go real rich panning for gold.
Manitou Cliff Dwellings
The Ancient Puebloan life is on display. This stop is pet and child-friendly and features ancient architecture visitors can explore and interact with. Summertime offers Native American dances and real wolf encounters.
