GROUP REGULATIONS :

To provide the most convenience, groups are pre-ticketed and seated together. This eliminates the need for groups to stand in a line or wait in a congested area. Usually, the group can wait on the bus until the group leader has picked up the tickets.

Group Rates AND Special School Rates are for parties of 25 or more, and MUST PRE-PAY TWO WEEKS IN ADVANCE. All groups of 25 or more MUST pre-pay all times of the season.

To make a group reservation, pre-payment MUST be received in full at least two weeks prior to departure. Unpaid reservations will be cancelled. Minor adjustments (5 or less) in group size will be made upon arrival, and any refunds will be issued accordingly.

All groups must arrive at the Manitou Springs depot at least forty minutes prior to departure time. The trains begin loading twenty minutes prior to departure time, and extra time is needed to pass out tickets, allow passengers time to use restroom facilities, pick up box lunches, etc. If your group will be late, please let us know ASAP!

Complimentary tickets are for the tour guide and/or bus driver ONLY. They are issued according to group size as follows:  25 PAYING receive one (1) comp ticket; 26 through 50 paying receive two (2) comp tickets; each additional 25 paying will entitle the group to one (1) additional comp ticket FOR USE BY TOUR GUIDES OR BUS DRIVERS ONLY, PLEASE.

CANCELLATIONS OF WHOLE GROUPS MADE LESS THAN 48 HOURS PRIOR TO DEPARTURE TIME WILL FORFEIT 25% OF PRE-PAYMENT.

We thank you for your compliance with these regulations. We truly appreciate your patronage of our attraction.
