4 reviews for Garden of the Gods Trading Post
Man, what a let down.
Buffalo burgers? Buffalo chili? There are buffalo still around?
DISAPPOINTMENT. It tasted just like a damn hamburger, and it wasn't very good. I mean, my mom makes better chili, and if I wanted a reason to have stomaches around my ex's family then it was going to be for something much more worth that effort.
So while we were supremely bored and finished with our food, we walked around making fun of all the little trinkets they were selling. Except I almost bought a gun but I couldn't take it home on the plane with me, and that was upsetting so I said eff it.
However, there was a "Weigh yourself and get a fortune" thing outside, and I was just happy that it didn't say "Here's your fortune--Stop eating Dairy Queen Blizzards or you'll have a heart attack and by the way break up with your boyfriend before you leave because you aren't moving to Texas for school like you thought you would".
Those things you gotta learn on your own, like...the hard way. DAMMIT!
But it did say that my lucky number was 13...so...um...yay?

We stopped here on Monday to pick up the required magnet for my mother-in-law. This place was freakin' scary. The place is HUGE but it needed to be because it was crawling with people. The whole loop drive and Trading Post experience made me want to run away screaming from this place.
We blew off Pike's Peak for this? Get me out of here!
Need a Colorado Springs souvenier? This is your place. It has everything you could want-- postcards, picture books, locally made jewelry, clothes, edibles, there's even a cafe inside that I hear is pretty decent.
This place has never let me down.. I've gotten some amazing gifts from here to give away when I travel. Their "mineral rocks" (I think that's what they are called) are always a hit: they're gorgeous! A good place to stop after a trip to the Garden.
