We LOVE this place! it has amazing food, and yet it's kind of a "hole in the wall" place that was on "dinners, drive-ins, and dives". It did not disappoint. It had healthy (vegan) options and jerk chicken that is amazing as well.

Entertainment & Activities
This is a great rock climbing gym. We especially love the children's area. They have a separate children's area for kiddos to climb and play in. They also have the biggest swing that our kids LOVE. It only cost $6 and is super fun for kids. It's another great activity for bad weather days.

Everything Else
You can spend the afternoon or evening in hot tubs that overlook the mountains. It isn't too expensive to rent your own or just share... but every time I have been there even if you opt to save money and "share" there is usually enough to have our own. The views are gorgeous, the hot tubs are great, and you can use the saunas. It's a fun experience in Manitou.
