Kid-friendly things to do in the Springs?

[spideyrdr]

Any of the Springs people have suggestions for my sister and her family to do in the Springs? Kids are 8, 6, and almost 2. They've done the Academy and the Olympic center before. They'll be there Saturday the 9th on the way to Pueblo to watch the races.

^^^my kids are 6 & 10 and every year we go down to the springs for a weekend and there is so much to do.

Cheyenne Mtn Zoo - better than any other zoo i've ever been to
Seven Falls - Very pretty, can spend many hours there if you climb to the top there are hiking trails
Cave of the winds - very cool place
Pikes Peak or the Cog railway (Kinda expensive)
Santa's Workshop (haven't been there yet, but it has lots of kiddie rides and santa 365)
Garden of the Gods - awesome

That's a good list. The only thing I have to add is two pools that are very kid oriented. One is indoor at Memorial Park and the other is up off Vindicator on the north side. Both are great. We do the outdoor in the summer and the indoor in the winter.

Thanks for the suggestions, guys! I am hoping if there is stuff for them to do in the Springs, they will want to continue on down to the races. I appreciate the input!
