Working for a airline made this the perfect location for a company holiday party. Lots of space for everyone to not feel like we were cramped into a small area.

This was the first stop on our week-long visit to the Denver area. In addition to the great variety of all types of aircraft, the 'associated' historical, electronic, space and military-related memorabilia really topped off a great 2 hour tour. There's even some displays for the kids. Even my wife said she actually enjoyed it!!! (As the museum is sometimes... More

There are some really cool displays at the museum. Not only the aircraft but the technology displays are cool too. The local history sections are pretty neat and I would like to see them expand since there is so much Colorado history yet to be shared.

Very much enjoyed Wings Over the Rockies from the X-Wing that belongs to George Lucas to the many different planes they have. The highlights though are simulators from the Wright Bros. to the United Airlines 727 cockpit to modern fighters that you can fly using computer simulation ( there is an extra charge for the Modern fighters but it is...

I was surprised at the number of planes we were able to see. I wasn't sure I would enjoy the museum, (my husband's idea), but I really did!

We expected to spend only an hour or two here and ended up spending the entire afternoon. The volunteer staff is outstanding!

Want to do something different? Go here. You'll see all kinds of airplanes and lots of historical memorabilia that's appealing to both youngsters and oldsters. Exhibits are very informative and well done.

A few years ago, the museum got a new executive director. He has done a tremendous job with expanding activities, exhibits, and generally making the museum nicer & nicer over time. Each visit I find something new and I have joined with a family membership to support their efforts. While the museum is nothing fancy by many standards, it is... More

My kids were disappointed that you can't actually climb aboard the planes, but were satisfied with the ambulance and other trucks available for hands-on exploration. The Wright Brother's flight simulator was really cool.

The good - the aircraft were in good condition and the facility is nice and clean. There was at least one aircraft that I have never seen before. Having been a pilot I always like to see unusual aircraft on display. The F104 was a treat. Also, many of the airplanes were not roped off and you could walk right... More
