Wings Over the Rockies Air & Space Museum

I took a little trip to the "Wings Over the Rockies" Museum yesterday just to explore and ended up falling in love with the facility.  Here's why....

Facility:  It was clean, open and spaced well.  There were so many planes to look at and, yet, I didn't feel like I was crowded at any point or that I was unable to fully explore the details of the plane.  You may not be allowed to climb in to the cockpit but you are definitely close enough to get a very real understanding of how big and gorgeous these planes are.

Content:  I felt like there was an incredible variety of planes to look at.  The placards by them gave thorough information and very interesting little tidbits, as well.

Staff:  While I didn't have a ton of interaction on my self-guided tour, the interactions I did have were pleasant and very able to give me information, not only about the planes but about other exhibits that might peak my interest.

Bathrooms:  The bathrooms were clean and well-stocked.

Favorite exhibit:  By far, my favorite was the unexpected but awesome Star Wars X Wing fighter.  It was so cool to see in person and life sized!

Negatives?  I honestly can't say that there were any.  The admission was $12.50 for adults and they offer annual memberships if you want to frequently return.

Will I be returning..... Absolutely.  No question!
