Visitor & Driver Tips
When planning your trip, note that the Pueblo plains experience intense midday sun in the summer and brisk winds during the winter; using a windshield sunshade will keep vehicle interiors cool during warmer months. If you are catching a scheduled flight or attending an event at the museum, aim to arrive 15 minutes early to secure your spot and walk comfortably to your terminal or venue. Set your navigation device directly to 442 Keeler Pkwy, and be mindful of active service vehicles and airport shuttle traffic when entering and exiting the lot.
