All About Colorado is probably my favorite souvenir place that I visited in Downtown CO Springs…read more If rating souvenir shops on the scale of cheesy t-shirt shop to high end decor, AAC falls right in the middle. It has a little bit of everything for everyone. AAC is actually two shops in one. It looks like they may have been separate at one time, but are now connected. Both sides have similar items and similar helpful staff. Here are some of the items I liked: Hats: I love a good ball cap. They had several different styles. Shirts: There were a good variety of shirts that were Colorado themed or for specific local attractions. Their shirts were much cheaper than the ones for sale at the local attractions. Stickers: I love stickers. I bought several. There were some that seemed a tad ridiculous, but I am sure they sell plenty of weed themed stickers here. Weeeeeeeed maaaaaaan. Get a job hippy. Coffee Mugs: Even though I drink iced coffee, I love location specific mugs. They had mugs a plenty here. Kids books: Who hasn't read "Who Pooped in the Snow"? Actually, I have not and it made me regret that my kids don't like story time anymore. This store has way more than the items I listed. I think you will like it. I did.

I really enjoyed wandering around in here, they had cute little things!

This shop is uniquely curated with lots of interesting and lovely pieces. It's unlike any other store in Old Colorado City. This side of town needs a shop like this! It's successful in being interesting in a non-kitschy kind of way. Which, is a HUGE win for Old Colorado City! Bottom line, check this place out!

I was on the hunt for an angel figurine for my mom's Christmas present and finally found "her" here - complete with cowgirl gear and attitude. I was able to talk with the shop owners who were helpful and friendly and genuinely glad to see me. When do you ever get THAT treatment at a chain store? The hunt & find of unique gift is a big part of the charm in the shops up and down Colorado Ave and the experience of walking through shops that aren't name brand or in a stuffy hustling mall can't be beat.

This is hands-down the best souvenir shop in Old Colorado. We have been in twice and will visit…read moreevery time we are in the area. The owner is so friendly and is also originally from the same area as we are, so that was a bonus. The store is not crammed full of stuff like some of the others on the strip but instead offers a pleasant shopping experience. I have purchased several things from there, and all were of good quality. Infact, I have gotten many compliments on the hat I bought there a couple of years ago. Why go anywhere else?

You never know what they're going to have. I bought a really beautiful glass necklace for 25 bucks- hand-crafted by a local artisan. They also have some things that were amazing, for a pretty low price (like a giant wrought iron lantern, priced at $45) There were also some one-of-a-kind art that was a bit more 'spensive. You never know what to expect to find at the Attic- but what ever it is, it'll be cool. This is a good place to shop for gift ideas. I think my favorite thing about the Attic is that it is very openly GLBT friendly. I would guess the owner (who is a super nice guy) is likely gay. This is the first openly GLBT business i've found here. It reminded me of the community of businesses in New Orleans that I used to frequent. Hooray! And in the springs, to boot!

Fun, small museum with interesting history. Entry is 8$ per person…read more There's old fashioned rooms to go in and look at how things used to be back in the day. Next, you can pan for real gold in a special area outside. Then, you can look at old furnished rooms (behind glass) with antiques & pieces of history including the bed of the 21st President. Lastly, there is a short film about Colorado Springs history. This place would be a great, short excursion if you are visiting Colorado Springs.

Ghost Town Museum - A Mix of Magic and Misses…read more There's definitely a lot to see here--every nook and cranny is packed with relics from Colorado's early days. It's a cool peek into how folks lived back then, and there's no shortage of vintage eye candy. Some items are clearly marked with "Do Not Touch" signs. One wasn't--so naturally, my curious son gave it a go to see how it worked. A staff member walked by and, instead of gently redirecting, chose to loudly scold him in front of others. It was uncomfortable and felt a little over the top for a kid just being curious. Not exactly a warm, educational moment. We moved on quickly--but not before one of us made sure to gently touch one more thing, for good measure. The shooting gallery was a hit with the kids. Change machines are a surprisingly nice convenience. Gold panning? Fun to try, but we struck out. Informative movie? Worth sitting for. Gift shop? Cool stuff, but brace for sticker shock. All in all, it's worth a stop if you're into Old West history, but a little more grace from staff would go a long way in keeping the experience fun--especially for families.

The tea room was located in the back of a specialty marketplace. The owners were very pleasant…read more There were a bunch of cute hats to choose from to enhance the experience. The tea served was a black tea. The food was delicious. There were a variety of tea sandwiches and pastries/desserts served. The sandwiches included cucumber & cream cheese, egg salad, and chicken salad. The sausage rolls were amazing!!! I've never had a sausage roll before. The clotted cream was yummy. The scones were perfect - good flavor and texture. The food portions were generous. I thought the pricing was fair. The ambiance shouldn't be compared to the castles. They're just different styles and should be enjoyed as such. There was a young woman playing the harp which was so beautiful. I enjoyed her selection of music. Such a nice touch. Again, we couldn't have asked for better service. Highly recommend.

The Spark is a high end gift store located in downtown Colorado Springs…read more One of my favorite things to do when visiting a new town is to find their downtown shopping areas and just browse. I love souvenir shops, gift shops, and everything in between. That is how I found The Spark. I was a little apprehensive when I first walked in because I didn't want my kids to break anything.It's not that they're occasionally bulls in a china shop, but they are occasionally bulls in a china shop. They were particularly well behaved this time so nothing was damaged. The items for sale here are more towards the high end decorative type items. There were several dude oriented items that I liked, including several clocks made from old airplane gauges. I kind of regret not buying one. I did end up getting a Colorado themed Christmas Ornament which is pretty cool. If you are in downtown Colorado Springs and want high end decor, I encourage you to visit The Spark.

There was an issue with the point of sale system but they had us pay at the connecting store so no issues. Come check out The Spark when you're out and about.
