Boeing Blue Sky Aviation Gallery, an immersive aviation attraction, provides a behind-the-scenes experience that is sure to have you looking to the heavens. Explore interactive exhibits, see the latest in general aviation technology, hop into pilot-quality flight simulators, listen to the chatter from Centennial tower, explore the airfield and more.
Keep in mind the Blue Sky Gallery is not a museum, but an interactive aviation center dedicated to inspiring the next generation of pilots, air traffic controllers, mechanics and other vital aviation personnel.
The Blue Sky Gallery is Wings Over the Rockies’ second location and part of a larger build out. The Air & Space Museum in Lowry will continue to focus on the heritage of aerospace while the Exploration of Flight campus will focus on the present and future of aerospace. The Blue Sky Gallery is just phase one.
We invite you to visit us on the south side of Centennial Airport every Friday, Saturday or Sunday.
