Visiting the Wings Over the Rockies Air & Space Museum in Denver
The Wings Over the Rockies Air & Space Museum in Denver is full of informative displays and exhibits depicting aircraft and military history. The museum is housed in a former military training hangar on the former Lowry Air Force Base. There is an area of the museum that displays the history of Lowry AFB. Also on display is Luke Skywalker's X Wing Fighter. The kids were interested by the variety of airplanes. If you can go on one of the Open Cockpit Days, you can sit inside the cockpit on selected aircraft (usually busy but a lot of fun). One drawback is that most of the displays are hands-off so young children lose interest quickly.
