Indoor Attractions

The Garden of the Gods Trading Post is a hard place to put into words.  On the surface, it’s a gift shop with an old pueblo-style facade. When you pass through the doors, you’ll find so much more lies beneath the surface.  You’ll be immediately struck by the sheer size of the place — it’s so much bigger than you expect from the outside.  Once you take in the massive volume of its interior, you’ll start to notice cool features about the store itself.  Very old murals from world-famous pueblo artists adorn the walls.  Antique fixtures are still in prominent use.  And relics of their long history are framed and showcased in every corner of the store.

So we’ve established that the building is cool, and there’s lots of great history, but we’re no where near done.  What do they offer in the store?  I’ll answer that with a question: what don’t they offer?  From kitschy trinkets to one of a kind art, from allowance-level budgets to call-your-banker level finds, the Trading Post literally has something for everyone.  Peruse their kitchen section for the chef in your life, their library for your reader.  Or check out the largest selection of t-shirts in the region for the perfect “all I got was this t-shirt” souvenir.  However, our favorite is the Art Gallery, packed to the gills with locally made art, Native American crafts, and unique gifts galore. 

The morale of this story: you need to experience the Trading Post for yourself!
