Seven Falls

What Seven Falls does

Seven Falls, legally The Broadmoor Seven Falls, is a natural waterfall tourist attraction in South Cheyenne Canyon, Colorado Springs, operating as a private destination owned by Philip Anschutz and The Broadmoor since April 2014. The site features seven cascading waterfalls in a 1,250-foot-walled box canyon totaling 181 feet of drop, accessed via 224 steps, hiking trails (Inspiration Point and Midnight Falls), or a mountain elevator to the Eagle's Nest observation platform. The attraction has operated continuously since 1883 and is the only Colorado waterfall on National Geographic's list of International Waterfalls.

The business operates a direct-to-consumer model with timed online admission, walk-up tickets, annual season passes, and a dedicated group-tour channel for parties of 25+. Pricing is segmented by time slot (morning vs. afternoon/evening), age (adult/child/senior/military), and channel (online vs. walk-up), with adults paying $21-$27 depending on these variables. Revenue is diversified across five streams: park admission, season passes, Restaurant 1858 (Colorado-inspired cuisine), the Soaring Adventure zip line course (Woods and Fins), and retail (Seven Falls Shop and Rockhounds mineral gallery). The park uses a live webcam for marketing and a complimentary shuttle from the Norris Penrose Event Center for access.

Distribution is anchored by online booking at sevenfalls.com, supplemented by walk-up sales, phone reservations for dining, and integration with The Broadmoor's Stay & Play packages, which cross-sell the attraction alongside the 784-room resort, Wilderness Experiences, and Pikes Peak Cog Railway. Customer segments span general tourists and families (primary), outdoor enthusiasts, adventure seekers, school and educational groups, and corporate/social groups. The business is a non-technological hospitality asset with no proprietary software, APIs, or AI/ML components.
