Do you want to take your family to visit a place that is as nostalgic as it is – dare we say – magic? No, we aren’t talking about Disney, or someplace that is expensive and out-of-state, but rather Colorado’s little-known (and, we believe, criminally overlooked) Magic Town:

Located in Colorado Springs, the magical Magic Town is a 3,000-square-foot exhibit that is chock-full of small-scale dioramas hand-crafted by the late Michael Garman.

Also known as the Michael Garman Museum and Gallery, Magic Town is billed as being a “1/6th scale miniaturized urban neighborhood, complete with dozens of handcrafted buildings, alleyways, and sidewalk scenes that transform before your very eyes,” all of which was inspired by Garman’s time as a vagabond during the 50s and 60s.

During your visit, you will be transported to a simpler time, complete with intricate homes and buildings, life-like figurines, and state-of-the-art holograms, sounds, and other special effects that bring the Town to life.

In addition to the permanent exhibits, Magic Town also hosts special events and new decor during the holidays (a la Halloween and Christmas).
