This tour was awesome, got to visit so many sections of US Olympic training facilities, including the shooting range, cooking class kitchen, sports medicine, track and field, basketball, and gymnastics areas. Taylor was an excellent guide - clearly has a passion for the Olympics and everything it stands for. He pointed out several Paralympic and Olympic athletes as we toured the grounds. We learned so much and my 9- and 6- year old really enjoyed it all, too. Thanks for a great visit!!

Glen Eyrie is the home of Colorado Springs founder, General William Palmer. Built in 1904, this beautiful castle offers guests a glimpse at the life of General Palmer. The tour not only covers the castle and the carriage house, but also the spectacular grounds around it as well. It’s all well worth the 2-3 hours you likely spend at Glen Eyrie. Two tours are offered daily at 11 am and 1 pm. The formal tour itself takes about 90 minutes. The castle also serves as an exquisite bed and breakfast as well.

Ivywild School

Reviewed By 918tiffany - Broken Arrow, United States

We visited on the first night they re-opened after Covid I think. I love their play on words on their website and menu. It was outdoor seating only but they were very organized and kept everyone at a safe distance. We all 3 enjoyed our drinks and I feel like it will be great once all the work is completed.
