    Really beautiful place, a perfect touristy kind of museum that has a lot of miniatures and an extremely through Scavenger Hunt that was so much fun. Would definitely recommend if you’re looking for something to do in a short afternoon.

    This is one of the most amazing places I've ever seen. So much detail and funny touches. There is the miniature buildings, and holographic people and audio too. It's called Magic Town and there's really no other way to describe it. It's by far the most incredible and interesting thing to see in Colorado Springs. You have to do the scavenger hunt it's a blast and you see so much more in the process.

    You have to see it for yourself. This is not a huge place but what they have presented is very impressive. Tickets are very affordable (around $5?) and worth the money for about an hour of browsing. They have some easy games you can play in relation to the exhibit to make it a bit more interesting and causing you to look a little more intentionally at the detail. What Michael Garmin has done here is nothing short of amazing. It's worth an afternoon of your time... go check it out then grab a nice lunch at a nearby restaurant. Recommended.

    Wonderful museum. Lots of interesting exhibits. You can spend hours looking at all the interesting things, great attention to detail. Everything is perfect and there are hundreds of different scenarios that depict the day in a life of many of us. Best miniature museum ever.

    This place is amazing. The detail on the carvings and the fantastic city dwelling are really neat and well worth seeing. The entrance is really reasonable too. The added changing visuals in a lot of the rooms is great to see. If you look closely, you'll see hollow graphs too. Well worth seeing. Highly recommended.

    We stumbled upon this place while walking around Old Colorado City and we’re pleasantly surprised and fascinated by the display. The shop in front is impressive but it is so worth it to pay the $7 to see the full display!! Highly recommend for locals and out of towners alike. I’d rank it top 5 places to see when visiting Colorado Springs!

    This place is absolutely amazing! My family spent couple of hours here on Sunday afternoon, just exploring this fascinating museum. Incredible atmosphere, this place has character with all sculptures, buildings etc. all manually crafted to the tiniest detail. The entry fee is dirt cheap too. An absolutely required attraction for anyone visiting Colorado Springs!

    So loved this place. We did a fun scavenger hunt with the kids. A tiny town of great art. It is a must see. We loved it. It really is a Magic town.

    I was skeptical, but my son really wanted to go. I stand corrected! The detail was fantastic! My personal favorite was the optical illusions and mirror work. We had a great time doing the scavenger hunt as well. Go visit if you have time!

    Michael Garman Studio is off the charts. I own 10 statues... that being said, my favorite is The Traveler. I love my guy with his suitcase packed.I have a number of Christmas ornaments too. I’ve been here many many times. I especially love Magic Town. Be sure to take the time to check this out. There is over 2 million dollars invested in this project. This is a great place to bring friends visiting from out of town. If you ever get the opportunity to do the “behind the scenes tour”, do it!!!!! Absolutely fascinating!!!! The tour takes you underground to see the process of creating the statues. You also get to meet the artists who hand paint the items. If you own a statue and you have damaged it, you can send it back and have it repaired by one of the artists. There are a number of famous people who owns MG. The staff is very helpful and friendly. 👍👍⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

    We came here awhile back and loved it. Was told they decorate for Halloween and Christmas so we came back for that and it was very well done and so much fun!! We especially love doing the scavenger hunt!! The lady in front is always so sweet and helpful and I couldn't imagine anyone else running this place but her. She's an added bonus!

  • 5/5 Huz K. 5 months ago on Google
    An unexpected gem. We've lived here for 9 years and never heard of this place. Took our 12 and 10 year olds and my dad. Spent over an hour having a great scavenger hunt and admiring the awesome detail.

    It's a lot cooler than it sounds. It takes a while to explore and the sets are very interesting

  • 5/5 Dan F. 1 year ago on Google
    I have a Michael Garman western sculpture, Taking the Rough Off. It somehow got a small chip which exposed material under the bronzetone color. They were able to repair it and I am very happy with the result.

  • 4/5 Shelly R. 1 year ago on Google
    The museum was great. What a mind to create not only the buildings and people but also the details in every scene that transported the viewer back to that very point in time. However, family of the employee that looks like Elvira, accused my family of sneaking in without paying, causing a huge scene. As a result, my family, who lives locally and always brings visitors to see the museum, will never visit again and will certainly never recommend it to others.

    Such an amazing place. Such a cool place to cool around. Great if your legs hurt from hiking!

  • 5/5 Lucas L. 2 years ago on Google
    Such a fun place! Lots of details and the 2 way mirrors adds a great dimension to the displays. Park for free a couple of blocks away or $1.5/hr just outside.
