They greeted us immediately and gave us a map of the property. We had fun walking around and checking out the animals and historic buildings on site. It is wild this place is right in the middle of a neighborhood. The only issue we had was parking because we the lot is full you're out of options.

Wow, my yesterday's visit to this historic park was so mesmerizing. It's because of their annual…read more(?) "Bright Nights" (originally a lantern festival.) It is said that they unveil a brand new theme each year and this year's theme appears to be focused on some Eastern cultures such as cherry blossom and bamboo forest with pandas. Not that I have been to many lights shows and yet I must say that I have never seen anything quite like this as far as my recollection is accurate. In its 12-acre land, the installations of lantern lights are everywhere. After 8:30pm or so when it's dark, the illuminations from the lanterns are glowing brighter than Las Vegas' illuminations (LOL - why am I comparing this to Las Vegas!!) According to the park's website, some of the sculptures are 23-foot tall (such as the cherry blossom gate.) It's currently open from Wednesday through Sunday until October 5th. And last night's was one of the adult-only nights where you must be 21+ to enter (I believe the next and last such night is Sept 17th. And this writing is as of late August of 2025.) I am already curious as to what the next year's theme is going to be. There is a centralized bar, some food vendors, a stage where a performer performs, and a DJ booth. Great for family time, girls' night or date night. Helpful staff were working tirelessly to assist all visitors. Although about 1,300 tickets were sold last night, it was never super jammed packed. There is still time to visit this enchanting light show. Not only for the locals but definitely one of the must-visit attractions for out-of-staters as well.

The stairway to heaven known as the Manitou Incline https://www.yelp.com/biz/the-incline-manitou-springs is here, as well as nearby Cave of the Winds https://www.yelp.com/biz/cave-of-the-winds-mountain-park-manitou-springs, Pike's Peak https://www.yelp.com/biz/pikes-peak-americas-mountain-cascade-2 and Garden of the Gods https://www.yelp.com/biz/garden-of-the-gods-visitor-and-nature-center-colorado-springs with all of their trails and scenic views. Plus, you can sip from several different naturally carbonated springs http://manitoumineralsprings.org/pdf_files/brochure.pdf and eat some fabulous meals & desserts at the numerous quirky restaurants on the main drag. When you're ready to slow down, you can visit one of 11 art galleries. Almost everything is accessible on foot or via the free shuttle system that circulates through town. It's about 75 miles or a 90-minute drive from Denver (depending on traffic), but if you have the extra time and don't want to drive or park, you can take a Bustang $12 fare South Line https://www.ridebustang.com/south-line bus into Colorado Springs and from there catch the $2 fare #3 shuttle into Manitou https://coloradosprings.gov/sites/default/files/rt3_spweb2018.pdf. Free parking is available at Memorial Park https://www.yelp.com/biz/memorial-park-manitou-springs, from which you can take a free shuttle https://www.yelp.com/biz/bus-system-mountain-metropolitan-transit-colorado-springs-2 into town, the Incline, or the Pike's Peak Cog stop, but walking most of the village itself is totally doable from the park if you are fit. Don't forget your refillable bottles for the spring water!
