We toured the Air Force Academy...beautiful weather and the grounds were so neat and clean. The chapel was impressive - worth seeing the inside on the main and lower levels. More

Even if you think you are not interested, you must drive through. It is the most extraordinary academy you will ever witness. If you are in town during graduation, you will be overwhelmed to see the jet formation fly overhead. Unbelievable. More

A tour of the Air Force Academy is definitely worthwhile. We enjoyed the time spent there. Great little museum and film.

Get a great view of the Springs. Visit a hockey game in the winter. Take pictures with the vintage planes. See the beautiful chapel. The gift shop has good quality clothing and a small burger/snack shop. Be prepared for a walk up a hill from the parking lot to the visitor center. More

This is a very nice stop on the way to Colorado Springs. The visitor center and the chapel have lots of history. Brought back memories of my military days. Price cannot be beat because it was FREE to get in. More
