Beautiful, clean, and informative outing! We love visiting Air and Space Museums, so this was an easy choice. The planes were well described on easy-to-understand signs. The rooms with various historical artifacts were well displayed. A great visit!

as a pilot I can only appreciate this type of museum and especially this one with its impressive B1 bomber that I loved as well as the B52 at the exterior entrance of the museum which is also visible from the control tower of the museum. There was also a temporary exhibition about the Vietnam War with an F4 Phantom and a Huey heli. The souvenir shop is very well stocked. A visit to do alone or with family. Recommended!

Wings Over the Rockies is an absolute must visit for aviation enthusiasts and anyone fascinated by flight! The museum is packed with incredible aircraft, from vintage planes to modern jets, and even space exploration exhibits. The displays are well curated, with detailed information about each aircraft and its history. One of the highlights for me was being able to walk through a few of the planes it really gives you a sense of their size and complexity. The immersive exhibits, like the flight simulators, add an extra layer of fun and learning. The staff and volunteers are friendly and knowledgeable, always ready to share interesting facts or answer questions. The setting in the historic Lowry Air Force Base adds to the overall experience. Highly recommend this museum for a fun and educational outing!

If you really enjoy space and aviation history this place is pretty amazing. I really enjoyed the B-1 lancer and all the info on that aircraft. My daughter enjoyed the space portion of the museum and the flight simulators they had there. They had pieces of the moon and other items that went to and came back from the moon. It's a fun and informative museum that you won't regret visiting.

Excellent museum with a great variety of aircrafts to view. Great staff and tour guides. The only thing that could be better is that some of the exhibits are in an odd order that isn't really chronological. It would also be great if there were additional exhibit material to show how the aircraft in the museum relate in time to other planes in the hanger, and those that aren't there. I would love it if there was more to read about at each aircraft.
