United States Air Force Academy JunkYard in Air Force Academy (CO)

The youngest of our military academies, it is worth taking the self guided tour. We were able to see a great deal of the academy and much of its history.

We visited falcon Trail beautiful view 13 mile hike we did a 4.8 in and out next time we go we're going to do the full 13

Beautiful and inspiring. Love this country! The plane at the entrance is amazing! Whoa!

Love this training area with museum, planetarium, chapel

Beautiful place and inspiring. The cadet chapel is very nice. It’s a MUST visit place if you are in Colorado Springs area. Highly recommend it!

What a place!! It will stir your patriotism. At the visitor's center, a movie explains how they train the cadets. You can take a walking tour of the beautiful campus, visit their museum, and drive around the beautiful places where the cadets work out and train. It will make you proud to know you are supporting something like this.

Views from USAFA are inspiring and give citizens understand how our military leaders are developed

Great history. Pretty campus. Bill, our 1968 graduate tour guide, was outstanding.

Went for the atmosphere, stayed for the fellas. 791/917 OOM. Strive.

Beautiful campus with renowned cadet chapel building but it is closed for renovation. It is completely covered so you cannot see the structure. If you are visiting just for to see it, you should call visitor center first before plan.

The price is right. It's a top-level education at zero cost. There are, of course, some strings attached.

Such a beautiful place to go if you get the chance too. Beautiful views and the Cadet Chapel is absolutely breath taking. All the edges are made of stained glass and provide a bunch of natural lighting on the inside!

Amazing academy, beautyful chappel this is the place you have to visit if you come to colorado.

Great place to learn valuable information on how fly fighter jets.

Awesome views and great to visit one of the four service academies.

Thanks copper coins I respected

Incredible facility for tomorrows Air Force elite. What a privilege for those who attend with its world class facilities. This is the standard that make the US Armed Forces are the best in the world.

I have studied in Lawy A.F.B.A good training and hospitality.

Nice self guided tours and easy to get around.

The views are Beautiful. Very informative. We did a tour and were able to meet a LTC from Texas. He gave our son, The Military Buff, a lot of good information about getting into the Academy. We were able to see cadets in different phases of their time here. From first year to Seniors. The Chapel was Gorgeous. I recommend everyone to experience this amazing place. Fly High!

Absolute must see if you live here or are simply visiting. The location is awe-inspiring. The architecture is amazing and the history is pretty cool as well. 1) it is a military base so you will pass through a secure gate. Basic rules that will make life uneventful. Have a valid government issued ID if your the driver. If your licenses is out of date you will be denied access to the Academy and if your the only legal driver in the car they will make you call for a ride home. Don't bring weapons or contraband on the base. For those that travel with a firearm in the car, leave it at home. No knives either. 2)its a college so be respectful of the students studying there. 3) ask for a tour... start at the visitors center and you won't be disappointed.

It's worth a visit since it's free! Beautiful, immaculate campus with gorgeous views of the mountains. The church is breath-taking and is naturally colored by sunlight pouring through the stained glass windows. There's also a free mini movie that explains the history of the school located in the gift shop.

I love the surrounding in this area and all that there is to do. The Academy had hiking, biking, gyms, parks, daycares, a fire department, a grocery store, gas station, etc. It has things to do and has necessities as well. It's not a very diverse place, but it is great overall!

They knew what they were doing when they picked this area to plant the usafa. Beautiful chunk of property. Graduation ceremonies are great, ice lake, cadets practicing in gliders, archery range, mountain bike and hiking trails. All good stuff and all worth the visit.

Really cool for visitors in a beautiful park

Timeless American icon -- physical beauty, character training, and patriotic history. I love this place. An '02 grad, now a veteran and local oil painter, it is pure delight depicting USAFA in art.

Yes POT is legal in Colorado under state law... the Air Force Academy however is federal land under federal jurisdiction and thus POT IS NOT LEGAL there. Interesting tidbit if your in a National Park or National Forest in Colorado as well... 2)its a college so be respectful of the students studying there. 3) ask for a tour... start at the visitors center and you won't be disappointed.
