Coronavirus in Colorado Springs
Howdy Friends,
Colorado is just beginning to open up for visitors, though not all of our attractions have gotten the green light yet. The attractions that are open are implementing additional cleaning policies and employee health checks. See the very bottom of this page for a list of what they’re doing to help keep you safe.
Many of the small local restaurants in Old Colorado City and Manitou Springs are now offering dine-in as well as curbside, takeout or delivery. Check them out here: Curbside Restaurants.
Thank you all for your support during this difficult time. Please chat with us online here or on our social channels @VisitPikesPeak if you have more questions. Be well!
