    Cute petite combination nature and visitor center. Everyone was most helpful. There are exhibits of local flora and fauna, and history of the canyon. Most trails can be accessed from here. No paper maps. Maps must be downloaded.

    Great park to visit for peace and quiet. Great hiking trails, and endless roadways to drive and take in nature. Lived in the Springs area till 1996.

    This park was wonderful. Great hiking/walking areas. Well covered with trees. Wonderful fall colors. There is a stream running through. Could be a great place for a family day and a picnic. Lots of small bridges, which add to the beauty of this place.

    Great place for a quick stop for some amazing views and wonderful pictures. Hiking to the falls will take a little time but if you're looking for some exercise with some breathtaking landscape, this is a perfect place for it. Kids can play in the stream along the way.

    Very fond memories of living in the canyon and I always enjoy the Visitor Center. I was a participant in the Cheyenne Canyon Art Festival and sold several pieces and I'm always grateful for such a great event and inspirational area.

    This nature center was great, just like all the nature centers I've been to in CO. We saw humming birds outside, there's plleenntyyy of toys and exhibits for children to play with. If you have kids, this is a perfect place to bring them. They'll definitely stay entertained and even adults can learn something new here :)

    Nice little nature walk. It was a rainy day so my original hiking plans got canceled and this easy flat trail worked great.

    I didn't go into the visitor center. We took the Mt. Cutler hike. Take plenty of water...at least 2 bottles. Take snacks that will replenish energy. It is a long hike, but SO worth it.

    Fell in love with this place/trail. We first walked by the park ground for 10mnts or less. The lady with short hair with eyeglasses on told us to go up on the upper top area park trails so we went up there and met this lady(she has long blond hair told us to do/go (from the office to trail 5) long drive, not as creepy. Just be careful on how you drive. We walked 1st by the office then we drove from office all way to trail 5 till we get to 26th st of hwy 25?. It's worth driving around to the cliff not knowing what you gonna see. ALL OF THESE TRAILS ARE ALL CONNECTED from starsmore,heidee,7 falls

    Doris was a gem! She talked to us for so long about the different trails and it helped a ton! We did an excellent hike to Mt Cutler that flipped my stomach, but wow! The views of the mountains and seven falls was so special and totally free!

    Great little stop for kids and adults to enjoy the nature center and canyon.

  • 5/5 Mark A. 11 months ago on Google
    I was looking for a small stone bridge that I wanted to take photos of. The staff was very polite and informative. All in all, very nice experience.

  • 5/5 Maya D. 10 months ago on Google
    Perfect spot to start hiking! We weren't able to find the trail we intended, but came back again and enjoyed exploring.

    Great place. Take a picnic lunch and eat out on the back covered pavilion while watching humming birds all around. Walk down and listen to the creek. Let's all do our part... Leave no trace!!!

    Def a great place for the family and leashed furry friends. Great place for picnics. In May they have a hummingbird festival that is amazing to go see.

    We went to Starsmore for a class field trip. I was very impressed with the smooth transition of staff, excellent story telling abilities that kept 26 4th graders engaged and excited. The hands on experience they got was definitely a memory maker. The knowledge of each person that worked with us was amazing. Thank you for a truly wonderful time.

    Nice, quiet place to sit. The nature center is staffed by nice [volunteers], with lots of interesting information for both children and adults. If you are a parent looking to pass some time, this is a great place go and check out. Even if you aren't a parent, still worth checking out!

    Very friendly staff that enjoyed talking to our boys and answering all our questions. The building is new and has some restrooms. They have a some touch and feel displays for the kids to have something to do.

    This is one of my favorite places to go to unwind and hike in nature. The hummingbirds make it so special to me.
