Awesome location, food and staff. We held a school event for a 100 people. All enjoyed the spectacular surrounding views and the museum. Small parking, but there ia shuttle to nearby parking. more »

Miramont castle is a very interesting place to visit while in manitou, with a rich history and knoledgable staff. In addition to this it has a nice (If not slightly small) gift shop with a wide variety of memorabilia, candy as well as so me toys for kids. Very worth taking the time to explore.

Lovely place for a tea! Great staff, environment, tea, and food! One of the best "teas" offered in the Pikes Peak area in my opinion.

Absolutely beautiful place to visit, with a very well trained staff. If you really want a treat, I recommend walking up the exterior stairs to the tea room, it is gorgeous inside and out.

Very beautiful, pretty clean, lots to see. Very expensive for a non-guided tour. Gift shop way over priced. Take your own pictures.
