Wings Over the Rockies, Denver

The kids LOVE airplanes, so we got them super excited to visit Wings Over the Rockies air museum...and then a sign on the door notified us that they were CLOSED for two days for a corporate meeting, ugh! Cue the tears:



Luckily we found a park nearby that had this fun stream running thru and the kids played away their frustration.


It also made for a nice quick impromptu Daddy & Asher shoot:







When they reopened, we returned on our way out of town. The kids learned about and tried morse code, sat in a play cockpit, and enjoyed looking at all the planes.






They have a replica of the Star Wars X-wing fighter! This was created in 1996 for the release of the Star Wars Trilogy release and has remained at the museum since 1999, except when it's traveling the US for events. It has been signed by many of the actors and people involved with the films.



While we had fun here, I'd say it's more geared for older kids as there are not a lot of planes and most of the exhibits require reading to really understand appreciate what you are looking at.
