Wings Over the Rockies Air & Space Museum

"Filling airplane hangers of the former Lowry Air Force Base in eastern Denver, this museum is dedicated to the history of aviation and space travel. Everything about the museum is big: The hanger reaches high into the air, huge jets dwarf the tallest visitor, and some 182,000 square feet of exhibition space is filled with space rovers all the way down to military uniforms. But the museum also wants people—and especially kids—to interact with their exhibits, so don’t miss the flight simulators that let you pilot different aircraft." - Megan Barber
