SUCH GOOD THAI FOOD. We go here all the time. I love the Pineapple Curry, and Garrett loves the Drunken Noodles. Who are we kidding? We like a LOT of things here! They also do a great job with tofu and making their meals vegan!

Arts & Culture

Do you know we have a CASTLE?! This place is amazing, and it's extra cool if you call ahead of time to get an appointment for a high tea. :) If you drive through just the park, there is a ton of wildlife that tends to hang out there.

This is the park plaza in Old Colorado City that has so many fun things that happen there throughout the year, from outdoor music, to open farmer's markets, etc. It's worth checking out what they have going on there when you're here!
