This family's experience:

Activities: We visited Cripple Creek. It has changed a lot! The casinos have replaced the small colorful shops and the slightest attraction now costs a lot!

Highlights: The only positive point is the brand new tourist information center which offers, free of charge, a very high quality exhibition on the mining history of the region ✨
