Q:
Is this worth a stop (on our drive from Colorado Springs, CO to Great Sands Dunes National Park) if we don't plan on climbing?

I would plan to stop for 30 minutes or so just to get out and stretch. Keep the kids in sight at all times as it really isn't a place for them to go wandering because it is still under construction... I think they would enjoy looking at the outside properties of the building. I wouldn't go too far out of my way to see it. However... My nephew, age 6, says it is his favorite place. It seems to call to his imagination... It is on a beautiful drive. Make sure your vehicle is fueled as this is in a remote location.
Q:

A:
JIM Bishop.. working on it for decades
Q:
Will you be open Sunday April 1st (Easter) 2018? Also, is there a charge for admission?
