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!

Remarkable genius of producing life like people and their surroundings. The settings show an intimate knowledge of how people lived in the past and interacted. The carvings, paints, objects of the periods displayed in the smallest detail show real love and unprecedented skill. We truly enjoyed the vast varieties ofcreativity.

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 place is absolutely amazing Micheal is very talented and all of his designs have such realistic features. The magic show is absolutely amazing as well you look into the windows and there is at least 2 different scenes in each one so different from each other and so amazing this was my first time there and I gaurentees it wont be my last

So much fun. Was a great time for our family, recommend you check it out

This place was very interesting. I had a limited amount of time but if I ever get back in the area, Ill spend much more time in there. The detail and craftsmanship is amazing and awesome. I think I could go back multiple times and discover many new things each time. Well worth the small admission fee.

RIP Michael Garman, we will miss you & all the beautiful art you create. Much love to his family, friends, & all who worked with him. Youre all in our prayers. God speed Michael 🙏

Great fun!!! Absolutely loved the scavenger hunt. It’s worth it to pay for the more challenging hunts! Can’t wait to come back with the kids and for holiday displays!

We enjoyed this stop on our vacation so much! It was just amazing to me how he has everything set up and when youre looking at one thing youre watching a hologram and then the scene changes to something else. Ive never seen anything like it! And then Michael Garman himself walked in and was so enjoyable to talk to and made my grandsons day! He was so excited to meet him and the rest of the day thats all he could talk about so thank you if youre reading this for stopping and chatting with us.

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!

I love coming to the gallery to look around. All of Michaels statues are amazing. His entire Magic Town is really neat to walk through. We have 11 statues in total and will add more in the future. Simply amazing!

For $3.50 on Groupon this place is a steal. It is severely underrated. I probably spent 2 hours just staring at various aspects of the exhibit. The more you look the more you find. It’s an endless loop of fun!

Very interesting with lots to see with all of the tiny details. I would pay more than the current ticket price and would consider going back if I’m in the area

Take your time looking at all the details.Be sure to try the scavenger hunt.

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. 👍👍⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

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!

Its been many years since Ive been here so while on vacation I decided to bring my husband for the first time! He was amazed at the details of each and every sculpture! I was just amazed today as I was many years ago! If you happen to be in the area Id highly recommend stopping by here! Take your time and look at all the little details, its totally worth it! Simply awesome!

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 couldnt imagine anyone else running this place but her. Shes an added bonus!

Interesting little museum of all of Michael Garmans sculptures. For $5 you get to see the sculptured city built with precision and artistry that comes to life with reflective imagery. You also get to really appreciate digging into the intricacies by doing a free scavenger hunt with a prize or buy paying for harder more in depth scavenger hunts allowing you to dig deeper into the sculptures and history with even bigger and better prizes and you almost always come out a winner, no matter what the cost.

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. Its worth an afternoon of your time... go check it out then grab a nice lunch at a nearby restaurant. Recommended.

The gallery and magic town are amazing! You could spend hours there trying to see every little detail. Do the scavenger hunt its fun!

Magic town inside the museum is amazingly detailed. Definitely worth the admission and you can take as little or as much time as you like to go through it. There is a scavenger hunt available which can be a fun activity for all in the family.

I love it 🥰😍

Magic Town is like nothing Ive seen before! This small town is jam packed with interesting scenes and holograms! How the scenes change is truly mind boggling. Michael has thought of everything and has captured every detail, its a must see!

The best place in Colorado Springs, you cannot leave without going there.

Highly recommend. The sculptures and town replicas are amazing. Stopped in just to look at the sculptures and ended staying for about an hour because there was sooooooo much to look at. They even have little scavenger hunts. Awesome place.

Great experience at Magic Town! My kids thought it was neat how they use mirrors to make it look like the streets go further back. The staff is fantastic and so helpful! We even met Michael Garman while we were there (thats not a normal thing)! I would love to go back and see it at Christmas!

Absolutely loved this place!! Truely amazing and only $5 admission fee. They decorate the museum for Halloween and Christmas so looking for to go back those times as well

Highly recommend! it was an amazing experience!! very interesting and fun. staff was also very friendly and helpful. 10/10 experience. very happy!!

The attention to detail is amazing. Simply fantastic!

Hidden gem. Amazing detail.

Incredible! We were in awe of Mr. Garmans unique talent! So much fun for all ages!! We will be back!

Amazing life story and incredible traveling experiences that capture the history of America and other world travels.The sculptures are incredibly unique and while give you the chance to escape time, space and dimension for a little while.

Awesome it was like I was a giant watching a tiny town. Beautiful and magical art work.

Wonderful experience. Definitely worth the time.

This place is pretty cool, I highly recommend. I saw kids enjoying it as well.

Michael Garmin is an amazing artist. His gallery is well worth visiting. The scale model town is amazing 👏👍❤

Its simply just an amazing thing to experience.

I loved this museum! Michael Garman was actually there, talking to everyone, explaining his exhibit. Ive never seen anything like it before. I think the coolest part was the scavenger hunt you can do while looking at art/statues/towns.

These lifelike vignettes will fascinate you. Michael Garman is an exceptional artist! Bring the kids, and grandma, and your out of town visitors. This is one of the Springs hidden treasures! And across the street? The Simpich puppet theatre and museum!!

We wanted to stay here longer than we expected. Admission was affordable, and the staff was friendly and eager to engage with guests. The scenes are detailed so thoughtfully, and it is interesting to read and hear about the artists process. Magic town is fun to explore, young or old!

Amazing detail in this one of a kind attraction. Kids of all ages will delight in the enchantment that can be experienced while travelling the streets of Magic Town, a 1/6 scale model of a cityscape circa 1950s Anytown, USA. Children will delight to see the sculptures come alive through simple stage illusion and lighting techniques, while adults will enjoy the experience and possible nostalgia for the old times. Times when life seemed simpler, but was inexorably complex. The statues Michael has been creating for more than 40 years have made his gallery an icon of the Old Colorado City atmosphere. At times guests can even be delighted by a visit from the master Magician himself; Mr. Garman has been known to drop in on occasion to give people personal anecdotes and tours if his masterpiece. Everyone will enjoy what is sure to be a newly created lifetime memory that will bring them back for years to come!

If you are looking for something fun for the entire family (all ages) .... the Michael Garman Museum & Gallery in Colorado Springs could be the place to go. They have built up a miniature 1930s - 1940s city of really detailed diaramas complete with changing holographic rooms. We have been there a few times over the years and still enjoy it. They offer a scavenger hunt to find hidden items in the displays. The displays are very real looking and skillfully done. There is a charge to see the Magic Town display but worth it. This is one of the hidden treasures so many people miss.

Lovely

Absolutely wonderful. Highly recommended.

Decided to check out this store and were we pleasantly surprised what amazing artwork this gentleman does. And magic town was amazing very detailed its definitely something I have never seen before I recommend this place to anyone its a must!!

I Love there Military Soldier Statues. I bought one to reward my Sergeant First Class and they had it engraved and ready in 3 days. He loved it and they did an amazing job. Thank You and I recommemd them to others!

This was very cool place. The owner made these carving on his own. It was so Awesome the place was clean an the customer service was way nice..

This was such a wonderful experience for us and the kids. Very cool. So much talent in Michael Garmans city, and friendly staff too.

OMG!!!I took my 13 and 15 year old here Friday night. We had so much fun and they really got into the effort and details that were put into this beautiful art.

Awesome place! The 3D recreation of the olden times is mind blowing! Michael has such a vivid imagination. His talent and vision with this is absolutely spectacular! Steve and Laura were absolutely awesome in explaining how Michael put this together and how he came up with the concept. If you enjoy looking at the past, youll be amazed at how much detail this exhibit has. Youll truly get a glimpse of the past.

The Magic museum was fascinating for adults and teens both. Very interesting way to view sculptured art. We enjoyed it!

Surprisingly amazing!!! Well worth the $5, and the forethought that went into this museum was the most impressive part!

Have a fun time and enjoy a step back in time. Most enjoyable around Christmas time

So much fun. Amazing sculptures and the scavenger hunt made it even better

This is such a neat hidden gem! Michael Garman makes amazingly detailed sculptures of different occupations. The best part is Magic Town. Its a small fee to enter into magic town that is inside the gallery. Its literally a small town with all kinds of characters and scenes with mirrors that makes for a fun time of seeing things that arent as they appear. They also offer a treasure hunt along the way. This is a good rainy day activity and also good for children!

Remarkable! One of the best things I have seen since visiting my friends Pete and Jill!. I would recommend this art gallery to everyone! Good price and very nice people working in the gallery! It’s a one of a kind place to visit! Visit there, you’ll be happy!

Great place to visit.

Wonderful! Got a little scavenger hunt that made me look really close at all the phenominal exhibits and it was overall a fun experience. The staff was also very kind and knowledgeable about the artwork. And then the artist himself made a surprise appearance and listening to his story was amazing.

Amazing. Ive never seen anything quite like this before and I have been to many places. Michael is very talented. I would like to meet this creative individual one day. Im sure he is an interesting fellow. He has to be to invisionened all of this.

Thought it would be fun to take the kids. The idea was great but it didnt feel like it was all kid appropriate.

Pretty awesome all the details ... the scavenger hunt they give you to do it also entertaining! Makes you look at everything a bit harder !!!!!

The scavenger hunt was fun. We had the honor of meeting Mr. Garman himself who took the time to show us how things worked. Totally recommend visiting.

Best place to get personalized souvenirs. And the best service there, everyone was so friendly

I met Michael Garman today and I feel like a little kid. This museum is beyond amazing and I love coming here with my family. I loved meeting the artist behind all the stories. I will always come back!

I like going here .. They have specials on Groupon sometimes also.

Such talented and gifted work. Always a treat coming here.

Oh man, if you want to see things that you wont get to see every day, go to this store! I love all his stuff and its very reasonably priced. The museum is totally worth the $5!

Extremely interesting. We went around Halloween, and completed a fun scavanger hunt. Not really something enjoyable if you like crazy, active things, but it is cool to see all of the hard work done.

The place was awesome! Steve was giving us a short tear he was very friendly and knowledgable! Will definitely come back again with my other friends to show them this place.

This place is magical. We spent a lot of time here getting lost in the art and the characters stories. Its only 2 rooms but it seemed so much bigger. Definitely worth it!

Michael Garman Gallery is a wonderful place to visit and the sculptures are pure Americana. I recently purchased a number of sculptures as gifts and one of them was not done correctly. The manager and everyone involved fixed the issue immediately and with grace. I was truly impressed with and appreciative of the staffs genuine concern and quick response. Any organization can provide good customer service up to the time of sale. Its the service you get after the sale that really gives you a measure of the organization and Michael Garmans staff is fantastic. I recommend this company to anyone interested in sculptures depicting our American heritage.

What I first thought to be an odd stop in our weekends itinerary turned out to be a very interesting hour. The magic town is well crafted and full of small details, these are complimented by good use of lights and mirrors. The scavenger hunt were a good way to get you to pay attention to the details and provided fun for the whole family!

Its a must see if you are living in Colorado Springs. Michael Garman is a very talented man who put a lot of detail into his work. The museum is only $5 per person which in my opinion is reasonable. It felt like I was back in time and I loved every minute of it ! I even got to meet Mr. Garman and he is a very nice man !

What a wonderful and unique hidden gem. Swung in on a whim with my daughter and spent hours there. Magictown is just Incredible.

Awesome place! Really interesting.

I love that museum its unique.

Just love this place I have known of this artist for a while when I was a young girl i used to have my grandmother take me to see his art work downtown at writer square. just have always loved miniature things and his holograms were amazing what he did at the time. truly something you should check out!

Small place, but very fun especially with the scavenger hunt. So much detail. I will definitely be going back.

Awesome place highly recommend going there especially on holiday celebrations like Halloween and Christmas Times. He does great sculpture work pricey but worth it

Took 14 kids between 5 and 9. They LOVED it. I loved it. This place is awesome. The fee to see magic town is worth it. But you can still see the sculptures without visiting magic town.

Wonderful experience!

Loved in Colorado Springs for awhile never knew about this place. Went today and it was amazing! So much fun and the gentleman at the front was beyond friendly. LOVED IT!

Love this place!

The place is Amazing. I always find a unique gift for that hard to buy for person.Be sure to go through the Town ! The sculptures are amazing and each one tells a story.You will not regret going into and spending time in this shop !

We Were awed by the lifelike and realistic designs by Michael Garman. The museum was worth the small entry fee. The use of mirrors and holograms added to the wonderful experience.

Mr. Michael has created a world of detail, beauty and realism not easy to found in this art. Spend two hours with my kids looking around and contemplating this masterpiece.

A local treasure! This is a fun and well worth the entry fee to exsperience this amazing display! A created miniature town complete with lights, sound and special effects that make it shine! There is so much to see that you can spend hours and still miss some small detail installed into the display! I still find something new I had missed before when I visit! ;) check out the posted videos to get a feel for what the gallery is all about!

Loved magic town and the scavenger hunt!

This was suprising fun. We did the scavenger hunt and loved looking at all of the scenes.

This is the first place I take all visiting friends and relatives. They go kicking and screaming, but once inside this unique and magical place, they too fall in love with it :)

THANK YOU!!! THANK YOU!!! THANK YOU!!! Steve Pedersen and Mary Burright are awesome! They have gone over and above in customer service. They were able to create a personalized handpainted statue for me of my husband. It looks just like him too! He is an Alaska State Trooper and they have all the details perfect.We have several other statues from the gallery and plan to buy more.We highly recommend Michael Garman Museum and Gallery.

Very cool sculptures and displaysRecommend anyone stopping in to check it out. Worth the time to do the scavenger hunt. Not like most art galleries, kids welcome and friendly staff.

Really awesome place it has cool holograms

Steve Pedersen always insisted the gallery is a place you need to see and he was more than right. You feel the history in the building and the culture in the art. I will return with friends and family.

This is an amazing museum and it is well worth the price. The history is amazing. Worth it!

Amazing sculptor! We visited at start of Christmas season.. and the manager? She is the best! Thank you so much Kim!

Worth the trip. The artwork and level of detail use amazing. I highly suggest taking the time to visit and top view it in detail.

Artistic and creative

Very neat little gallery. You can either spend 5-10 minutes going through it quickly or do the scavenger hunt and spend about 30 mins to an hour. Worth the $5 for sure.
