About

Wings Over the Rockies Air & Space Museum fills a 100,000-square-foot hangar on the former Lowry Air Force Base. Families can walk beside more than 60 aircraft, explore space artifacts, and see how flight changed over time.

The museum works especially well for kids who love machines, history, or space.

The entire main museum is indoors, which makes it a dependable choice for snow, rain, or a very hot afternoon.
