Focus has played a huge part in raising our kids, it was great to see the welcome center. We enjoyed checking out the kid's area and the view from back was amazing looking at the mountains. One thing I would have changed was wished we could have seen more honor given to Dr. James Dobson. I know he's a humble... More

Did a quick visit with my 20 year old son who grew up on Adventures in Odyssey and FOF Radio Theatre. It was a very cool trip down memory lane for me, and I was again impressed with all of the very important work being done by FOF, now and in years past. It made me want to continue supporting....

We've grown up on a lot of the radio programs of Focus on the Family and have also been fans of Dr. Dobson's books in rearing children and prioritizing family. We are also involved in a lot of altruistic work around the world so it was nice to watch the videos, read the materials, and listen to the podcasts about... More

If you have ever listened to Adventures in Odyssey, go here. WODFAMCHOCSOD is delicious, just like Connie would make. You can even go down Wooten's slide, warning it is twisty and you may get dizzy, but it is worth it to go down it at least once. The book store has exactly what you may need and/or want.

Some people making recommendations were behaving strangely and not really wanting us to make up our own minds on what we wanted.

Great bookstore, friendly staff, great views of the Front Range. Downstairs is a family center dedicated to Adventures in Odyssey. Great family place to have your kid's birthday party, too.

What a wonderful place for families and children. So many great things to take in, experience and even eat! My children loved Whits End - just like they've been hearing about all their lives in the CD's! Every family should visit at least once!

What a neat place! The views from the back deck are spectacular, and the visitor center caters to small children...the entire bottom floor is a very cute and interactive play area. There is also a nice bookstore with reasonably priced books, decor, t-shirts and souvenir items. They also have a snack bar. Two thumbs way up!

This place was so great. thanks to Tripadvisor I looked for someplace fun for a 2 year old while visiting the C.O. Springs area. They had fun for many ages. A wonderful Christian atmosphere with very friendly staff and other people visiting with their kids. My daughter loved it and we will definitely take her back if/when we visit that... More
