The Broadmoor World Arena on Venetucci Boulevard in Colorado Springs. Every visit starts with walk-through metal detectors, only small bags get in, and once you leave, you can't come back in.
Know before you go. The Broadmoor World Arena doesn't list sensory-friendly events or a quiet room. Here's what it does say about getting in, bags and breaks.
Hours
Open for events only. On event days the Box Office opens at 10 am and stays open until the event starts; it's closed on non-event days.
3185 Venetucci Boulevard, Colorado Springs, Colorado 80906
The arena uses walk-through metal detectors. “When you arrive, please allow yourself some extra time to clear the detectors and take your seats before the show.”
“For the quickest entry, we recommend using the entrances off Geyser Dr. and Bob Johnson Dr.” Venetucci Blvd. is the busiest entrance to the lot.
“The Broadmoor World Arena has a no re-entry policy. Guests may not leave the facility and re-enter on event days.”
“NO large bags, backpacks, or purses will be permitted into the venue.” Allowed: small purses or clutches and clear plastic bags up to 12 by 5 by 12 inches, “Medically necessary items that have been inspected by security,” and “Small diaper bags.”
“Bullhorns/whistles or noise makers” are on the list of items that can't be brought in.
“Most restrooms in The Broadmoor World Arena have diaper-changing stations available and are accessible to persons with disabilities. The facility also has family restrooms on the main concourse level by Gates A & C.”
“Strollers are not permitted in the seating sections of the arena.”
“The designated smoking area is located at Gate C.”
Because there's no re-entry, the concourse is your break space. Walk it with your kid on the way in so you both know where the restrooms and Guest Services are.
iPads aren't allowed in. If your kid talks with an iPad, call 719-477-2100 before the event to ask whether it counts as a medically necessary item.
No re-entry: “Guests may not leave the facility and re-enter on event days.”
No outside food or drinks. Concessions are cashless: Apple Pay, Google Pay, Samsung Pay, and credit and debit cards.
Bullhorns, whistles and noise makers aren't allowed in, and neither are iPads, GoPros or cameras with telephoto or detachable lenses.
General parking is $10.50 with card or $10 with cash, paid in person as you arrive, with no exchanges or refunds. Premium Lot A, closest to the venue, is $25 and sold only online in advance. Tailgating isn't allowed in the lot.
For rideshare or drop-off, the arena recommends Geyser Dr. at 2922 Geyser Dr.
ADA/handicapped parking is in all the paid lots. A vehicle with an approved parking tag is directed to the ADA section across from the building ramp, and the arena recommends that guests with disabilities come in by the ramp between Gates A and B. There are automatic doors at Gate A and the Club Entrance.
Children under 2 are typically permitted without a ticket on a guardian's lap, but this doesn't apply to all shows; ask the arena about your show. Tickets can't be refunded, cancelled or exchanged.
Most restrooms have diaper-changing stations and are accessible to persons with disabilities. Family restrooms are on the main concourse level by Gates A and C.
There are two elevators: a VIP elevator in the VIP Club Entrance on the North West side, and a service elevator behind Section 117/118. Wheelchair and companion seating is throughout the arena; call (888) 929-7849 for more information.
For guests who are hard of hearing: assisted listening devices at no charge at Guest Services, at the Club Entrance by Gate 107, with a driver's license, credit card or some form of identification as a deposit. For interpreting services, contact Kyle Hamman at (719) 477-2151 or khamman@broadmoorworldarena.com no later than three weeks before the event. For events with more than one show date or time, one performance is the interpreted one.
Pets and animals aren't allowed, except service animals and guide dogs. The designated smoking area is at Gate C.
