Wings Over the Rockies

Check your local library to see if you can get free tickets to this exhibit like I was able to do. It was an impressive array of jets and other aircrafts in this huge hangar space. The people that work there are extremely knowledgeable and friendly and approachable. Some of the jets have ladders where you can get up close and personal in the cockpit. It’s a great place to get out of the heat or rain.

I loved this place. They have a 1 of 4 B1A Plane on display, along with other Fighter Aircraft and a Helicopter, civilian and showplanes. They also had a TITAN IV engine, which was fascinating. They have good displays and tributes to various fighter pilots, explorers and inventors. Getting in was easy, tap your card and walk in, no hassle no taxes. 19.95 is a very reasonable price for the rarity and historical value of the aircrafts displayed. All the employees and volunteers are very nice too. I was able to speak to the curator and she was a delight. Would recommend this place to anyone with an interest in avaiation, history, or warfare.

This air and space museum was really fun, but I don't think it's for everyone. At 20 dollars, you really need to have a decent interest in either air or space, otherwise, this museum will bore you. The size of the artifacts can only wow you for so long before everything just looks like a big plane. There are a few outlying artifacts like a life sized pod racer and x wing, but those are few and far between. There are also a few sample weapons that may appeal to you. The museum itself is a good size. At a savoring pace, it may take you between 1-2 hours to get through it. We were a bit on the shorter end of that estimate. Regardless, if you are looking for activities in Denver, I do recommend you come out and try it.

I've wanted to come here for a long time. You could say I'm a military aircraft nut..... okay, enthusiast. If you consider yourself the same, you have to come here. There was so much more than I was expecting. All of the aircraft were amazing! Mostly jet age stuff, including a F-4 Phantom, F-86 Sabre, F-101 Voodoo, F-14 Tomcat, and their new F-16D Thunderbird, as well as a Mig-23, and probably most impressive of all, a B-1 Lancer! Not to mention the gigantic B-52 out front! Beyond just aircraft, there are tons of amazing displays, simulators, and a great gift shop. If you're in Colorado and love airplanes, this place has to be on your list! I'd even go so far to say it's nearly on par with the Air Force museum at Wright Patterson in Dayton, Ohio, and that's an amazing museum.

there was a very wide selection of planes there to see! the simulated seemed fun, even though i didn’t go in. there were some videos playing that gave history on planes the planes there (i watched the one abt the B-1 Lancer, funny and informative. i will say it was cool that you thatched the video inside the bomb bay). i thought it was really funny that the x-wing was there, and there was a little plaque for Anakin’s racer ship but it wasn’t there :( there was a great restaurant next by called beer garden (i think). next hanger has a huge storage unit with some businesses built in gift shop is a little pricey, but with a wide range of things
