Parking for this museum is quite expensive, but they offered 90 minutes free with their validation so don't forget to snag that! It gave us enough time to still walk around and explore the hotel and scenic area a close by.

There's a part that covers wagons, carriages, and buggies along with some Penrose history and another part (my favorite) that has the cars from the Pikes Peak Hill Climb. There are some awesome cars there like a very early Cadillac, a twin-engine Suzuki, a Nascar-style V-6 Mustang, and that infamously wrecked EVO. I went through and read a lot of the information and it took about 90 minutes, which lined up well with the parking validation that covered 90 minutes in the garage. The woman working at the time was helpful and we signed the logbook by the entrance. The museum is FREE to enter, which made it even better.

It's not a long ride but it is steep. (We took our half out of the middle. Make sure you have good breaks for the drive down!) Putting the shrine on the bottom of our list of things to see in Colorado Springs, we were pleasantly surprised at how much we enjoyed it. The shrine itself is beautiful (made from one boulder), and the view is probably the best in the area. On a clear day you can see 130 miles eastward. If you like old movies you will recognize the pictures of Mr Rogers with some movie stars (Shirley Temple for one). There's a wonderful display of pictures and murals in the shrine. This place will be one of our destinations of choice to take out of town friends. Enjoy!

Yet another activity to do with guests from out of town if there is bad weather (or they suffer from heat strokes LOL). This museum is new and everything is cared flawlessly. The museum clerk was super nice and took us on a mini tour of the lower level. This is such a nice place to spend an afternoon to learn about our city and its heritage. I am so glad they offer this for no charge, as ANYONE can come and enjoy its rich history. Love it.
