Reviewed By ransom007 - Anaheim, United States
The museum has free parking. You enter and pay the admission fee in the gift shop. There are 2 hangars and an outdoor display area. The docent gave me a thorough tour of the first hangar which is primarily about World War I and World War II. There are several aircraft on display and much other in the way of exhibits and information. There are also videos playing. I was then allowed to tour the outdoor exhibits (almost exclusively aircraft) and the second hangar. Hangar 2 had more modern aircraft and includes a great deal of memorabilia from NASA. COVID-19: masks and social distancing are required for visitors and the staff members were masked.

If you are in Pueblo do not miss this Arts Center. They have moving collections and worth seeing. The structure is from 1972. It’s at the end of mid century expansion and modernism. It has three floors with a lift if needed. It’s very affordable with a cute gift shop.

We had seen the Electric Critters show held during the Christmas holiday a few years ago. My grandchildren enjoyed it then. We took them again this year. It had many more critters and activities for the children. We, adults enjoyed it. The children got a kick out of watching the Mircats showing off! An activity worth taking families to enjoy the Christmas Season. Thank You Pueblo Zoo for giving Pueblo a wonderful display and activities.

El Pueblo History Museum showcases the region’s many cultural and ethnic groups through innovative exhibits including the Borderlands of Southern Colorado and the award-winning Children of Ludlow. The property includes a re-created 1840s adobe trading post and plaza, and the archaeological excavation site of the original 1842 El Pueblo trading post. The river and the landscape of this site encompass a grand history: from a place of meeting between indigenous tribes to a physical border between nations, from the boundary between mountains and plains to everyday convergences of cultural and ethnic borders. The Borderlands exhibit illuminates the site’s specific geopolitical border history, as well as the region’s historic and ongoing borders of cultures, ethnicities, landscapes, industries, religions and identities.
