It's still growing, but it's definitely worth a visit. I'll be back after a while to see how it's grown. More

I disagree with the review stating this museum is overpriced. I feel it is comparable to other museums in the area. They do seem to be making steady improvements. There is a great collection of aircraft and memorabilia. Be sure to check out the rooms along the sides. More

A wealth of very cool aircraft on display. I would like to see more interactive exhibits. Would also be great if they could have "Open Cockpit" day at least every weekend instead of once a month. More

They have a nice selection of well displayed aircraft. It is in an old original hangar on what used to be Lowery AFB. More

I moved to Denver (actually the Navy stationed me here) in Jun 1995, back then the Wings Over the Rockies Museum was a few airplanes in a hangar on an abandoned Air Force Base...boy has it changed! Lowry has turned into a beautiful neighborhood and clearly the influx of revenue and people has led to an update to this museum.... More

If you're into airplanes, then you'll love this Museum. I've taken my children to it twice, and both times they loved looking at the big planes up close. I wish there were more interactive activities, though. More

We went over Spring break during the Kids day & it was a wonderful surprise. There were so many hands on activities, building rockets, flight simulators, all kinds of things to keep the boys and girls happily entertained & busy. I'd recommend taking the kids on a day when they have these interactive events going on. Sign up for the... More
