Pikes Peak Center for the Performing Arts

Downtown Colorado Springs' 2,000-seat performing arts hall — touring Broadway shows, the Philharmonic, major comedians, and everything in between. Pretty much every big act that comes through town plays this room.

Parking is at the adjacent garage or street — arrive 30 minutes early on big-show nights. The Pikes Peak Center app for mobile tickets is the easy way to get in. Dress code is casual; this isn’t a black-tie room.

Pair with dinner a few blocks away — Shuga’s or The Famous are both under a 10-minute walk.
