At Constant Care Assisted Living, nestled in the heart of Colorado Springs, we believe that life at every age should be full of joy, connection, and meaningful moments. Whether you’re a local resident, a new member of our community, or exploring senior care options for a loved one, it’s comforting to know that Colorado Springs is brimming with beautiful, enriching activities perfect for older adults.

Our city is more than just scenic mountain views—it’s a warm, welcoming place where seniors can thrive. With its gentle pace, accessible venues, and rich cultural fabric, Colorado Springs offers countless opportunities to stay engaged and connected.

Here are some of our favorite senior-friendly things to do in Colorado Springs:

1. Strolling Through the Garden of the Gods

Nothing lifts the spirit quite like nature. Garden of the Gods is one of the most awe-inspiring places in the region, and its easy walking paths and drive-through options make it wonderfully accessible for seniors. Whether you enjoy a light stroll, a picnic with family, or simply sitting and soaking in the view, it’s a peaceful retreat.

Our residents often talk about how a simple visit here reconnects them with the beauty of Colorado and the joy of being outdoors—something we deeply value at Constant Care.

2. Cultural Connections at the Colorado Springs Fine Arts Center

Art has a way of speaking to the heart, no matter the age. The Colorado Springs Fine Arts Center at Colorado College offers rotating exhibits, quiet gallery spaces, and even senior-focused art workshops. It’s a relaxing, inspiring way to spend an afternoon.

At Constant Care, we love seeing how art opens up new conversations and shared experiences among our residents and their families.

3. A Trip Through Time at the Colorado Springs Pioneers Museum

Located in a beautiful historic courthouse downtown, the Pioneers Museum provides fascinating stories of our region’s past. Seniors often enjoy exploring local history, and this museum offers a rich collection of exhibits and artifacts in an easy-to-navigate setting.

It’s a perfect outing for families visiting loved ones in assisted living—engaging, meaningful, and full of discovery.

4. Quiet Joy at the Cheyenne Mountain Zoo

Yes, a zoo visit can be a perfect senior outing! Cheyenne Mountain Zoo offers an accessible tram and plenty of shady, resting spots. Seniors can enjoy watching the animals, interacting with exhibits, or simply enjoying the views from high above the city.

It’s an uplifting experience that’s just as fun for the young-at-heart as it is for grandkids who might come along.

5. Live Music and Entertainment

Colorado Springs has a lively arts scene with events suitable for seniors throughout the year. From outdoor summer concerts in the park to symphony performances at the Pikes Peak Center, there’s something for every taste.

At Constant Care, we also bring live music right into our homes. Our residents love the familiar melodies, the toe-tapping rhythms, and the shared smiles during a sing-along afternoon.

6. Accessible Nature Walks and Bird Watching

Not all adventures require long hikes. Places like Red Rock Canyon Open Space and the Fountain Creek Nature Center offer flat, wheelchair-friendly trails perfect for peaceful bird watching or quiet reflection. The changing seasons provide something new to admire each visit.

We often arrange scenic outings for our residents, knowing how these gentle encounters with nature bring comfort and renewal.

7. Visiting the U.S. Air Force Academy Chapel (When Reopened)

Though currently undergoing renovations, the Air Force Academy Chapel remains an architectural marvel and a beloved destination. Once reopened, it’s a great place for seniors to reflect, pray, or simply marvel at its stunning design.

Faith and spiritual connection are important to many in our community, and we always support that aspect of well-being at Constant Care.

8. Joining Senior Groups and Clubs

Colorado Springs offers numerous opportunities for seniors to join hobby groups, volunteer organizations, and senior centers. The Colorado Springs Senior Center is a hub for activities ranging from line dancing to ceramics, providing a great way to meet new friends.

Our homes also offer daily enrichment activities tailored to residents’ interests—whether it's gardening, storytelling, or puzzles over coffee.

9. Local Cafes and Cozy Dining

From locally owned bakeries to relaxing tea shops, Colorado Springs is filled with charming spots for a calm outing. Many seniors enjoy regular lunch outings with family or staff, where they can enjoy familiar favorites or try something new.

Mealtimes are such an important part of our day at Constant Care. Whether it’s a home-cooked meal in our dining room or a treat from a favorite café, food is love.

10. Spending Time with Family in a Welcoming Community

Above all, what seniors cherish most is time with family. Fortunately, Colorado Springs is a family-friendly city that makes it easy to gather across generations. From easy day trips to relaxing neighborhood strolls, the city provides a safe, comforting backdrop for shared moments.
