Visit date: 11/25/2016 This museum pops up when you want to see some of the more “unusual” attractions in the area. When I searched for “oddities” in the area this popped up but there is nothing “odd” about this place. Magic Town is an attraction located within the Michael Garman Museum. For some people that name may not seem familiar but his works sure are. Once you look up his work you will quickly recognize the genius behind the artwork. When you first arrive at the museum you are greeted with what appears to be a regular store/gallery selling Michael Garman products…. Until you step into Magic Town. You need to pay admission to enter Magic Town but for the fee is nothing compared to the experience you get when you walk through this museum. I won’t go into detail about the creation of this museum since it’s part of the experience as you walk through. All I can say is this truly is a magical little town. We spent about 1 hour walking through and I could have stayed longer. While I was appreciating the time and effort that went into this masterpiece I started to notice all of the very small details that went into creating the town. The various scenes throughout the town, the different people, the holograms, the back alley shenanigans….. It’s a lot to take in with only a short visit. Take the time to look at everything…. It’s worth it! By the way, when you pay for admission, ask about the scavenger hunt game that you can play while walking through the town. You will feel even more connected with the town and you may feel like you’re actually walking through the town. It’s that much fun!!!! I took a bunch of pictures and had a very difficult time deciding which ones to post since there were so many. The few I picked are just a small sample of what you can see. I hope you enjoy these pics and get motivated about visiting. It’s worth the trip and I’ll definitely go every time I visit Colorado Springs.

Scenarios are very well done - at least those which were "working. Probably 5% had holographic or mirror malfunctions. They gave each of us a different set of scavenger hunt questions. That was sort of fun as all six of us (4 adults and an 11 and a 6 year old) helped each other find almost all of what was on our scavenger hunt list. They offered each of us a back recently popped pop corn and let the two grandsons pick out some sort of trinket or piece of candy. Glad we went. Wont go back.

Absolutely amazing place to go! Items are expensive to purchase but the attention to detail is incredible. The tour of Magic Town is not expensive, $5 per adult. I highly recommend going to visit this museum. I was truly amazed the whole time we were walking through.

The sculptures are amazing! Definitely worth a visit, if ypu live near by or are traveling through the area. The museum is inexpensive and they run a scavenger hunt which makes the time fly by!

It could have 5 stars but there was only 6 of us going through the magic town and one part was nice and cool and the other was HOT and stuffy. But the Magic Town itself is awesome. Very cute

Great place to walk around and look you could spend as little as 15 minutes to several hours. Its one of those places that you either like or you dont there is no middle ground.
