It opened in 1982 with violinist Michaela Paetsch performing as soloist with the Colorado Springs Symphony Orchestra (as it was called in those days). The Pikes Peak Center has since achieved international approval for its design and acoustical attributes, and artists and critics have spoken highly in their compliments of the Center.

Although foreign national teams are occasionally granted use of the USOTCs, they are used mainly by athletes from the United States. Digital displays counting the days until the 2008 Summer Olympics and 2010 Winter Olympics at the Colorado Springs OTC during the Beijing Games. The Colorado Springs OTC was the first of the three to be built, and has been the home of the U.S. Olympic Committee since 1978. Its location on the former Ent Air Force Base was selected for its relatively high elevation, which is often thought to improve training effectiveness. Its facilities include an Olympic-size swimming pool, an indoor shooting range, a velodrome, two sports centers housing numerous gymnasiums and weight rooms, and a sports science laboratory, in addition to an athlete center and dining hall, several dormitories, a visitors' center, and the offices of both the USOC and U.S. Paralympics. #7 of 21 Things To Do in Colorado Springs Ghost Town Museum Colorado Springs CO ~2.03 miles from Colorado Springs city center Hotels Close to Ghost Town Museum As a true preservation of Colorado’s western past, Ghost Town Museum is a fun and historic look back at kind of old west town that used to dot this region during the late1800’s and early 1900’s Selected by Mobile Travel Guide and Family Circle Magazine as one of the fifty-five special attraction of America.

Entrance to the park is free according to the wish of Charles Elliott Perkins, whose children donated the land to the city of Colorado Springs in 1909. It contains numerous trails for hiking, walking, mountain biking and horseback riding. One of the most popular trails, named Perkins, has been paved in an effort to combat the erosion of the park's central garden caused by its numerous visitors. Visitors receive frequent reminders to watch out for rattlesnakes in the hot days of summer. Because of the unusual and steep rock formations in the park, it is an attractive goal for rock climbers. Rock climbing is permitted, with annual permit obtained at the Garden of the Gods Visitor and Nature Center. The only requirements are reading the rules, proper equipment, climbing with a "buddy", and staying on established climbing routes. Due to the often unstable conditions of the sandstone—particularly after much precipitation—several fatalities have occurred over the years. This is a very popular bicycle-riding area because of the scenic views, safe one-way recently-paved roads, and healthy clean air. #10 of 21 Things To Do in Colorado Springs Briarhurst Manor 404 Manitou Ave Manitou Springs CO - 719-685-1864 ~4.64 miles from Colorado Springs city center Hotels Close to Briarhurst Manor #11 of 21 Things To Do in Colorado Springs Cliff Dwellings and Museums Po Box 272 Manitou Springs CO - 719-685-5242 ~4.83 miles from Colorado Springs city center Hotels Close to Cliff Dwellings and Museums The Manitou Cliff Dwellings are a tourist attraction, located just west of Colorado Springs, Colorado on US Highway 24 in Manitou Springs.

The Anasazi peoples did not live in the Manitou Springs area, but lived and built their cliff dwellings in the Four Corners area, several hundred miles southwest of Manitou Springs. The Manitou Cliff Dwellings were built in their present location in the early 1900s, as a tourist attraction. The building stones were taken from a collapsed Anasazi site in southwest Colorado, shipped hundreds of miles to Manitou Springs, and assembled in their present form as Anasazi-style buildings, some of which are replicas of well-known buildings in Mesa Verde National Park. The project was done with the participation of well-known anthropologist Dr. Edgar Lee Hewett. #12 of 21 Things To Do in Colorado Springs Cheyenne Mountain Zoo Colorado Springs CO ~4.86 miles from Colorado Springs city center Hotels Close to Cheyenne Mountain Zoo The Cheyenne Mountain Zoological Society was founded in 1926 by philanthropist Spencer Penrose to house his growing collection of exotic animals.
