Adventure Day
Cowboys, Cadets, and Shopping
07:15 – Meet at Broadmoor South where we will depart for a fun filled day, beginning with breakfast.
After breakfast we depart for the worlds only Pro Rodeo Hall of Fame and Museum. Only in Colorado Springs
will you find a heritage center devoted to professional rodeo. After viewing a history film, you will explore the
Heritage Hall displaying both historic and modern cowboy gear and clothing.
With 5 exhibits to browse, the experience at the ProRodeo Hall of Fame and Museum of the American
Cowboy gives attention to educating the visitor regarding the sport’s historical beginning and offers an
explanation of what the cowboy contestants must experience to become champions.
From the Pro Rodeo Hall of Fame we depart for the acclaimed United States Air Force Academy for a
private tour of the Visitor Center and Cadet Chapel.
The US Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs is among the most selective colleges in the United States.
Candidates are judged based on their academic achievement, demonstrated leadership, athletics and
character. To gain admission, candidates must also pass a fitness test, undergo a thorough medical
examination and secure a nomination, which usually comes from one of the candidate's members of
Congress. Recent incoming classes have usually consisted of about 1,400 cadets; just under 1,000 of
those usually make it through to graduation. Cadets pay no tuition, but are committed to serve a
number of years in the military service after graduation.
The US Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs is perhaps best known for its stunning chapel. Soaring
150 feet toward the Colorado sky, the Air Force Academy Chapel is an all-faiths house of worship
designed to meet the spiritual needs of cadets. It contains a separate chapel for four major religious
faiths — Protestant, Catholic, Jewish, and Buddhist — plus an all-faiths room used by Muslim cadets
and available for members of the other faiths as well. Each chapel has its own entrance, and services
may be held simultaneously without interfering with one another.
After the tour of the Air Force Academy we leave for shopping at the Outlets at Castle Rock where you can
shop, save and have lunch too.
With more than 100 stores and counting, Outlets at
Castle Rock is the largest outlet center in Colorado.
The center offers a distinctive shopping experience
at some of the best known brand names, such as
Michael Kors, H&M, Polo Ralph Lauren Factory
Store, Coach Factory Store, Columbia Outlet, Gap
Outlet, Nike Factory Store, Levi's Outlet, Ann Taylor
Factory Store, Mountain Hardware and more.
Enjoy your “Red Carpet” welcome, gift bags, Savings
Card and coupons for lunch in their food court.
At 3:15pm we’ll have to gather to depart for Colorado Springs. We have to get those operators back to The
Broadmoor to depart for their post-FAM trip.
