Moon Rock.

Wings Over the Rockies Air and Space Museum

A truly amazing museum with an incredible amount of aircraft inside and out. Displays include a moon rock from the Apollo 15 mission, a Navy plane from the USS George H.W. Bush, and an autographed Star Wars X-Wing fighter with a working R2D2 on board.

The museum displays a great collection of aircraft and space memorabilia inside an extremely large hangar. There are some interactive exhibits, and a couple flight simulators round it all out. Also, the ice cream stand next door has a rocket on it! Recommended for flight and history buffs.
