Garden of the Gods Trading Post

Garden of the Gods Trading Post is a gift shop and restaurant at the edge of Garden of the Gods Park, selling Colorado gifts, apparel, souvenirs, toys and locally inspired merchandise. The shop says it carries more than 90,000 items and is known for its bison burger and homemade fudge, which can be eaten on the back patio with a locally brewed beer.

The store also sells maps of the park and is a common stop for visitors heading into the garden. Locals often use the entrance by Beckers Lane to avoid the summer crowds. Summer hours run longer than winter hours, and the shop is open every day except Thanksgiving and Christmas. Private events are available.
