Garden of the Gods Nature Center and National Landmark is an excellent family adventure for young and old. There are dirt trails (moderate to difficult) and paved walkways (stroller friendly) that trailhead from the main parking lot, and a Welcome/Nature Center across the road from the main entrance. As you drive the winding roads through the park, look for signs pointing to the Trading Post and prepare yourself for a sensory overload of Colorado history memorabilia. And fudge.
Specifics
There are clean restrooms at the main parking lot in the park, and fully equipped facilities in the Welcome/Nature Center.
There is no shelter on the trails in case of inclement weather, so watch out for dark clouds over the Peak.

You must have a permit (available at the Welcome/Nature Center) to climb the rocks with proper equipment, but kids often enjoy getting a few "practice runs" in on the smaller rocks. Wink, wink.
