SCFD Free Day
Enjoy FREE admission at Wings Over the Rockies Air & Space Museum courtesy of SCFD, and bring the whole family for a day of discovery, imagination and fun!
Step into the world of aviation and space exploration as you get an up-close look at our Determined to Fly temporary exhibit, where you can learn all about the bold minds who helped shape the future of aviation and space exploration. From the Wright Brothers’ first powered flight to the Apollo Moon missions, each breakthrough built upon the last, transforming fragile flying machines into supersonic air and spacecraft capable of anything. Along the way, innovators, engineers, and pilots reshaped transportation, science, and society. Their achievements continue to influence the way we fly and explore today. That is why history must be kept alive.
Join us and discover the trailblazers who truly made the aviation world what it is today while exploring other exciting exhibits!
