The Colorado Springs Scheels also has a small arcade and shooting gallery. Each game is $1.

There are plenty of free attractions, including a 16,000-gallon salt-water aquarium at the store entrance, Wildlife Mountain with over two hundred species of taxidermy animals and birds, animatronic figures, and photo ops.
