Call 719-689-5509 or email about special group packages. We are happy to create custom packages for larger tours such as church groups, school groups, family reunions, and special events.


Tours start at 10 a.m. and tour-goers must be at the museum at least 15 minutes ahead of the tour time for check-in and safety information. Those who do not arrive 15 minutes ahead of the tour may lose their place on the tour and the tickets will not be refunded.

The tours are not handicap accessible. A person who cannot fit comfortably and safely in a single seat space must purchase an additional seat at regular ticket price subject to availability.


Tours are conducted on a school bus owned and operated by CCPR with a licensed CCPR employed driver. VIA provides the tour guide.


All tour participants must sign a waiver of liability before being allowed on the tour. Plan about 2 hours for the tour.
