Our guide Tracy was engaging, knowledgeable, and did an excellent job bringing each location to life with fascinating stories and just the right amount of suspense.

Whether you're a believer in the paranormal or simply enjoy learning about the past, this tour is entertaining for everyone.

Would give zero stars if I could. This review is for the food court, ordered a Philly cheese steak…read morewith fried pickles, Philly came with a bunch of hair in it, I go back up to the counter and ask for it to be remade and the male brunette chef in the back asks in a rude tone "what do I need to remake"? I tell him a Philly with everything on it and as I'm walking away I here him cursing in the kitchen about it. They throw my hairy food away, and remake the food with no fried pickles so I ask if I can get the fried pickles I paid for. Then as I'm walking away again the chef says "what the fuck is this guys problem". All I wanted was food with no hair in it and the chef made it a horrible experience just for doing the job he is supposed to. They also only had like 3 customers so it wasn't like it was busy. Regret getting food from that court don't recommend if the chef with glasses, and piercings is working. Just to add in I highly recommend the cave tours and the park overall just don't go to the food court.

I went zip lining for the first time here (out of peer pressure), but ended up having the time of…read moremy life. I was SO nervous, but Elena and Kevin made the experience so fun and safe. We took a shuttle to a little hiking trail, got fitted with gear, went over safety and even had a little training zip we got to do to prepare. The experience consisted of 6 courses, I believe, progressively getting longer and higher off of the ground. We had to walk across this crazy suspension bridge to access the last 2, which added to the thrill. Adrenaline was pumping through my body the entire time and it was such a fun experience! You end at 7 falls and can take a shuttle back to your car. The views were incredible and it's an amazing way to soak up the beauty of Colorado Springs. I would highly recommend zip lining here and highly recommend going with Elena and Kevin!

My wife and I were in Colorado Springs visiting some friends. On Friday 4/2 day we decided to visit…read more7 Falls (breathtaking and beautiful!!) . As we went thru the park we couldn't help but notice the Zip lines criss crossing the park. We kept hearing voices hooting and hollering in the air as they flew thru the air. It looked like so much fun I told my wife I wanted to do it. We were leaving for home the next day, but were able to book a 10 am "Woods" tour of 5 Zips. From start to finish, the experience was amazing. I had never been on a zipline and was a bit nervous. From the park looking up, the platforms looks so high and tiny perched on the edge of the canyon walls. The check in people at the Broadmoor were very pleasant and professional. My guides were Carl and Riley. They were very patient, encouraging and fun, They explained everything very well. You start out with a small practice zip to get you familiar with the process and then the Zips are progressive, from short to long. Words cannot express the fun and excitement of Zip Lining. The area is so beautiful. Being in the forest and looking down and around as you fly thru the air is something I will never forget. There was still a good bit of ice on the steam, which made the view even more special. Carl and Riley made what I had been nervous about into a fun, and adrenaline filled event. By Zip #5 (our highest and longest) I was comfortable and wished i had been able to book the Combo course of 10 Zips and 2 Suspension Bridges. I cant wait to go back and do the Combo course. This was Bucket list worthy, Definitely an experience of a lifetime

What an amazing zip line experience! From start to finish, everything was fun, exciting, and…read moreincredibly well organized. Dylan and Steven were outstanding tour guides, friendly, professional, and knowledgeable. They made everyone feel safe and comfortable while keeping the energy high and the experience enjoyable. Their clear instructions and encouragement helped us relax and fully enjoy the adventure. They were also great at sharing information, answering questions, and making sure everyone had a fantastic time. The views were incredible, and the zip lines were thrilling, but Dylan and Steven truly made the experience memorable. I highly recommend this zip line tour to anyone looking for an unforgettable adventure. Thank you, Dylan and Steven, for an awesome day!

Sometimes things just work out for a reason…read more I originally booked my hot air balloon ride with another local company (who kept my friend and I in suspense about whether or not we actually had a reservation because they were waiting to see if more people would book their tour). We found Adventures Out West on Viator and were not only able to book with them right away, but also get an immediate confirmation for our reservation. The only frustrating thing is that when booking through Viator, it requires a minimum of 2 people in order to book the reservation. I'm normally a solo traveler but fortunately I had a friend who wanted to do this excursion as well... But something to keep in mind if you are a solo traveler. You may want to reach out to the company directly to see if you can book as a party of one. The meeting place is about an hour drive from Denver. My friend and I left before dawn and made it to the meeting point by sunrise. Everybody on the team was friendly, energetic and welcoming even at such an ungodly hour. On the ride over to the departure site, they gave us a quick overview of what to expect as well as a safety briefing then we waited for them to unpack and inflate the balloon. After about 45 minutes we were ready to go. I am glad that I did this trip with a friend because it's close quarters in the basket. The basket has several compartments that each hold two people, bus compartments for the fuel tanks and another for the pilot. It's barely enough space in the compartment to turn around, so if you're going by yourself you're going to get to know a stranger VERY well by the end of the ride. The ride itself was absolutely wonderful. It was a calm, breathtaking glide across Colorado Springs. We drifted over the Colorado Springs Airport and got to watch an airplane take off right in front of us. We were about 2,000 ft up, so we were also able to see some of the local wildlife running around as we floated. It was a beautifully peaceful ride. The ground team was supposed to meet us at our landing site but unfortunately they got stuck in a ditch (we could see them from the air). They radioed the pilot of the hot air balloon (T-Dogg) to let him know what was going on and he handled the experience like the consummate professional. Our 40-60 minute ride ended up being almost 2 hours while T-Dogg figured out where to land. He kept us informed of the situation, let us know what his plan was, and never at any time did we feel uncomfortable or unsafe. Ultimately we ended up landing in the driveway of the Pikes Peak outdoor gun club. It was an adventure for everyone involved, as members drove around our massive hot air balloon to enter or exit the venue, snapping pictures and video as they went. The landing was astonishingly gentle. I expected a much more jarring experience but we touched down so softly, then gently bounced a few inches off the ground before coming to a full stop. Another testament to T-Dogg's skill as a pilot. Unfortunately the ground crew was unable to get themselves unstuck, so the staff were able to coordinate ground transportation from another vehicle in their fleet: A modified Jeep that thankfully had space for all of us. We ride by the ditch where the ground team was stuck, picked up all of our items and then headed back to the meeting point where we were welcomed back with some wonderful refreshments including mini muffins and cinnamon rolls, fruit and cheese, as well as a champagne toast, which is an integral part of the hot air balloon experience so you don't want to miss that. This has been a bucket list item for me for a while and I cannot imagine having a better experience than I did with Adventures Out West.

Very nice place to visit! I went there once almost 30 years ago, and the visit has remained one of…read moremy favorite memories about Colorado. So much has changed compared to today! The waterfall is still beautiful though! As mentioned in other reviews, I would highly recommend making your reservation online before your visit. Try to get the earliest time slot available. Also, wear good walking shoes and bring enough water! It seems like the way you get to Seven Falls has changed quite a bit. I don't remember having to park downhill and take a shuttle to the entrance. The walk to the waterfall, although still beautiful, also feels narrower and more developed than I remember. There are more walkways and structures along the way, which make the experience feel a little more tourist-oriented, or, as I kept thinking, a little "Disneyfied." It's still a beautiful walk, but perhaps not quite as natural or rustic as I remember it from 30 years ago. We went on a Sunday morning in September, and the weather was beautiful. We arrived shortly after 9 a.m. and had no trouble finding parking. We only had to wait about 10 minutes for the next shuttle. If you purchased your tickets ahead of time, they simply scan them while you're waiting in line, so the process was very quick. The shuttle drops you off by the big fence. From there, you walk to the waterfall. It is an uphill walk, but not too steep, and the walkway follows alongside a beautiful stream. Along the way, there is a tunnel you can walk through, with an elevator at the end that takes you to a viewpoint and gift shop. There is also a staircase outside the tunnel that takes you to the same place. You can take the elevator back down or choose to use the stairs. After some more walking, you reach the waterfall. There is a seating area at the bottom where you can relax and enjoy the view. There are 224 stairs to climb if you want to get to the top of the waterfall, but that part is optional. You can admire the waterfall from the bottom. The stairs to the top are definitely tiring! Use the handrails whenever you can, and don't hesitate to stop and rest if you need to. Once you reach the top, there are two trails you can take for further exploration--one is shorter (20 min. round trip) and the other is longer (40 min.). There are signs to guide you. All of the staff members we encountered were friendly and helpful.

She made us feel safe and comfortable from the very beginning, and gave clear instructions so we always knew what to do. She tailored our ride to how "spicy" we wanted to make it, so since it was our first time rafting, that made us feel great. The trip was the perfect level of excitement for us as beginners. It was fun, thrilling, and adventurous without ever feeling overwhelming. My sons, ages 10 and 13, had an absolute blast and want to plan another trip back. We even got to see a bald eagle along the river, it was phenomenal. The weather was perfect, and the whole experience was incredibly well organized. It's also just under two hours from Denver, making it a great day trip. We really appreciated the free parking, and they kept our car keys safely in the office while we were out on the river. We felt completely comfortable leaving everything else locked in our car. We couldn't have asked for a better first rafting experience. We would absolutely recommend them to anyone, especially families and first-time rafters. Definitely opt for the photo package too - the pictures we received were stunning and memorable. Huge thanks to Kayla and the Liquid Descent team!

I was so nervous walking in, but from the moment we arrived, every single staff member made us feel welcomed, safe, and supported. Our guide, Koa, was the perfect balance of fun, kind, and incredibly skilled. He guided us through the rapids with such confidence and ease while also making sure everyone felt safe and included. He checked in on us several times throughout and made sure we were having fun, asked us if we wanted to "spice it up" a bit or keep it mellow and just really let us know this was "our" trip and he's cater to what we wanted. I quickly found myself letting go of fear and enjoying the moment... something I didn't expect would happen. Koa's energy was contagious, and his calm, respectful nature made us feel like we were in the best hands possible. At one point on the river, another rafting company had a mishap and we had to pull over and wait for them to recover and get their riders back into the raft safely. Koa explained what had happened with total grace - no judgment, no gossip - just a calm and respectful explanation. He also spoke so kindly of his own coworkers and even the owner of Liquid Descent. You could tell he genuinely cares about the rafting community and takes pride in his work and LOVES his Liquid Descent family! Every employee we encountered was friendly, encouraging, and helpful - from getting us fitted with helmets and life jackets to cheering us on as we headed out. As someone who started out nervous, that kind of supportive vibe made a huge difference. They encouraged me, and they helped me push past my comfort zone in the best way possible. What a GREAT memory! We will remember this day not only for the thrill of the rapids, but for the kindness and heart of the people who guided us through it! If you are considering rafting in Colorado, go with Liquid Descent. I'm so glad we did!

Bagels, different cream cheese, fresh bananas, regular coffee and keurig coffees, plus more. The staff is friendly and willing to accommodate the ride based on the skill level of the group. When going down hill there were a few of us who liked speed and the front can was definitely going fast so we could go faster. You make several stops along the way to take pics, relax, and catch your breath. In the end, you ride down to The Wines of Colorado where you have some basic lunch. Had an absolute blast! I highly recommend it to anyone.
