  • Better the first time we went
    By pkharrold, 06/17/09
    We love the cliff dwellings, but they were much more enjoyable about 5-7 years ago when everything wasn't so commercial.

  • An obvious fake
    By A Yahoo! Contributor, 04/06/08
    This is blatant exploitation of indigenous culture. The information and “history” about the supposed cliff dwellings is false. I'm not surprised the family who owns it prefers to remain anonymous.

  • A little pricey for what you get.
    By jdbeasley1953, 10/07/07
    I have lived in Colorado Springs for 20 years and finally visited the dwellings a couple of weeks ago. Even though they aren't authentic it was interesting; especially the museum. Paying $8.50 each is a little steep for what we got.

  • Very interesting
    By donnelly478@sbcglobal.net, 07/12/07
    A great family activity. Spent a couple hours touring the dwellings, gift shop, museum and then watched the dancers. Not a bad way to spend the afternoon. Had coupon to help with cost but still it wasn't terribly expensive.

  • Interesting facts
    By A Yahoo! Contributor, 02/26/07
    I wasn't sure what to expect, but the cliff dwellings were very interesting if u read the plaques that r put out to inform people what the cliff dwelling r about. The plaques explain everything in the dwellings. 30 mins. to 1 hour tops even w/the gift shop. worth seeing

  • 10 Minutes and Done.
    By A Yahoo! Contributor, 09/14/06
    Went there as part of a group tour. After about 10minutes I saw all I needed to see. Glad it was paid for my tour group and not myself, would have considered it a waste of my money. The gift shop was the main attraction there. Have been back to the area, but will not go back here.

  • I would definitely see it again
    By A Yahoo! Contributor, 09/12/06
    Actually, even the gift shop was worth spending a little under an hour just looking around. It was pretty big for a gift shop, and I didn't even get to see it all. The dwellings themselves were just straight up AWESOME...especially if you don't have someone rushing you through when you're trying to read the information posted throughout.

  • Experience the ancient Anasazi's architecture
    By chua_herbert, 07/18/06
    Although it may not be the original location, the architecture of the ancient Indian (from the Anasazi tribe) is still authentic. The cliff dwellings gives an interesting insight into the lifestyle of these ancient native Americans. The gift shop has an extensive array of wares and souvenirs. Apart from these, there isn't really much else to ...

  • Not exactly "Fake"
    By A Yahoo! Contributor, 03/29/06
    My grandmother grew up in Manitou and remembers the dwellings being moved into the area. They were most likely moved in from Southwestern Colorado (Mesa Verde) many years ago. I, however, am disappointed in the "Manitou Cliff Dwellings" for not being open about this information. Mesa Verde National Park (SW Colorado) has many of these ...
