Downtown Colorado Springs' big performing arts hall, home to the Colorado Springs Philharmonic, touring Broadway shows and holiday shows like The Nutcracker. Every visit starts with walk-through metal detectors, and once you leave, you can't come back in.
Know before you go. The Pikes Peak Center doesn't list sensory-friendly performances or a quiet room. Here's what it does say about getting in, bags and breaks.
Hours
Show times vary; see the events page. Allow extra time at the door for the metal detectors.
The center uses walk-through metal detectors. “When you arrive, please allow yourself some extra time to clear the detectors and take your seats before the show.”
“Pikes Peak Center has a no re-entry policy. Guests may not leave the facility and re-enter on event days.”
“NO large bags, backpacks, or purses will be permitted into the venue.” Allowed: small purses or clear bags up to 12 by 5 by 12 inches, “Medically necessary items that have been inspected by security,” and “Small diaper bags.”
“All restrooms in The Pikes Peak Center have diaper-changing stations available and are accessible to persons with disabilities. Restrooms are located on the main level and mezzanine on the North & South ends of the building.”
“Strollers are not permitted in the seating sections.” Children under 2 usually sit on a lap without a ticket, but not at every show.
iPads aren't allowed in. If your kid talks with an iPad, call guest services at 719-477-2100 before the show to ask whether it counts as a medically necessary item.
Because there is no re-entry, the lobby is your break space. Find it on the way in.
