This place is really cool. My husband's family and mine have been in Colorado for over 100 years so it was so cool to see the old airport they use to talk about. The "model" air craft in back are awesome!! Lots of neat flying history. Highly recommend it. More

We enjoyed our visit to the Peterson AFB air & space museum. There is a small museum with neat displays plus outside there are large, real airplanes and rockets from around the world! The museum is free, they are closed on Sun & Mon. We enjoyed our visit!!! More
