Jason the museum guide was extremely knowledgeable and friendly . He kept checking in to see if we had more questions or complements or even complaints (which we had no complaints) my dad really enjoyed PPIHC exhibit while my mom really enjoyed the carriage exhibit so a little for both . It's free and they validate your parking ( which could change) but all in all a wonderful place to checkout !! Thanks for enjoyable time !!!

I was looking for something to do with my parents in COS that they hadn't seen/done on previous trips and a friend suggested this - it was AWESOME! The newly built section on the Pikes Peak Hill Climb was better than I could have imagined - complete with videos of the race from all angles, including inside the cars. I have always wondered what it would feel like to drive that highway at top speeds - now I have a pretty good idea. The carriages and history of Colorado Springs from the Spencer Penrose days was also really well done and very engaging. As mentioned in other reviews, this museum is free and they validate parking in the garage next door, which made it an easy walk for my parents. I will add this to my list of suggested sites for family/friends visiting COS.

The Carriage Museum has just expanded to ad the Hill Climb Museum so you have Carriages and Racecars. There is also a fascinating collections of items from the El Pomar Foundaiton on the second floor including swords, guns and other stuff collected by the Penrose family. The staff there are friendly and have a lot of info on the collection.

We were told we could visit the Broadmoor Hotel just to see it in its beautiful setting with its shops and restaurants. The hotel had valet parking for which we tipped. That was certainly a treat, but we also enjoyed the El Pomar Carriage House Museum across the street. The historical carriages and cars were fascinating--the docent very pleasant--and the exhibit on the Pikes Peak Race was exceptional. This combo is an essentially free visit that adults can enjoy.

Not many people know about this museum located across from the Broadmoor Hotel. Our family visited there and practically got a private tour of the many carriages and cars. It is well laid out and represents the history of Colorado Springs. Best of all its free and they give you a ticket for free parking! I'd back.

We have visited the Carriage Museum many times in the past...but on this visit we were treated to a new exhibit.... The Pikes Peak Hill Climb Race!! This new addition has some of the actual cars that were in the race, along with movies of the race including a car cam from a car that ran off the road and was destroyed in the fall down the hill....amazingly, the driver was not injured.But the best part of the new exhibit is Jason the Curator of the Museum. His knowledge of the race, its history, and the details of what happened are simply amazing. Hint: Park for Free..... Park in the parking garage next to the museum and ask Jason to validate your parking.If you are ever in Colorado Springs...this is a MUST SEE!!

Amazing amount of Colorado Springs history and the Penrose family history. Great spot to spend some time if you are in the Colorado Springs / Broadmoor area. Unbelievable collection of carriages dating back to the 1800's

The El Pomar Carriage Museum at the Broadmor Historic Hotel is truly a hidden gem in Colorado Springs. It has a new exhibit which traces the Pikes Peak Race which started in 1919. Many cars are displayed as well as one that was completely wrecked in a recent race. Many videos help explain the traditions of the area and the gold mining of other towns. Many old horse drawn carriages are displayed with great explanations. The staff is very helpful. Oh did I forget to tell you it is FREE! Even the underground parking was free.... just ask the staff for a parking pass. It was a great 1-2 hour activity.

We stopped this summer the day of the Hill Climb. They were closing early for the opening celebration and were already shutting down. The docents saw us outside, opened up, and let us spend the time before the celebration began, and took the time to give us information about the carriages and the people who used them. The hill climb display was very well done, with actual racers and lots of information about the races and the people who have made the climb. Awesome time!

The historic collection at the Carriage Museum is pretty neat and all of the carriages saw service around the world. With the expansion of the HIll Climb exhibit into a huge wing of the museum you have even more great transportation history. The staff are friendly and knowledgeable...Oh and a tip stop by the Museum for a tour and stay to explore the Broadmoor. There's lots of fantastic art and exhibits scattered through out the hotel. You could make a day of just the Broadmoor alone.
