The Colorado Springs Cool Science Festival

The Colorado Springs Cool Science Festival returns October 3–18, 2026, bringing 16 days of family-friendly discovery to locations throughout Colorado Springs and the Pikes Peak Region. The festival features hands-on science activities, demonstrations, educational programs, fossil events, nature programs and astronomy experiences for curious minds of all ages. Many events are free, while individual event costs vary, making it easy to build an adventure around your family’s interests and budget. Before heading out, review the official schedule for event times, participating locations, registration requirements and any applicable fees. As a local real estate agent, I love highlighting experiences that make our community such an enjoyable place to call home. Add a festival activity to your weekend plans, explore a nearby neighborhood and make a day of discovering Colorado Springs together.
