FlyteCo Tower Tour

About This Event

FlyteCo Tower is located at the base of the former Stapleton International Airport in the Central Park neighborhood of Denver. The 164-foot air traffic control tower, along with its three-story base building, stands as one of the last reminders of Denver's first airport. Take a tour to the top of the air traffic control tower and learn more about the history of the airport, leaders who paved the way for aviation, and how the industry has evolved. This tour is a one-hour guided experience that takes you up 11 stories of stairs to the top of the tower, where you can see one of the best views of Denver. After your tour, enjoy a complimentary craft beer sample or N/A fountain beverage. $12 / person + taxes & fees. Times and dates vary, book your Tower Tour online in advance! More Information: What was once ranked as the third-busiest airport in the nation in 1961, is now a landmark in the vibrant Central Park community. The airport thrived until the 1980s, when demands of increasing international air traffic and the growing size and speed of jet aircraft could no longer be met. The Stapleton International Airport concluded flight service in 1995, ceding all air traffic to the newly constructed Denver International Airport (DIA). Mayor Wellington Webb and Denver’s city council saw the closing of Stapleton as an opportunity to create a thriving network of urban neighborhoods that are safe, unique, sustainable, economically viable, and pillars of urban design. Today, our neighborhood is comprised of 30,000+ diverse residents who readily enjoy concerts and farmer’s markets, award-winning schools, parks and pools, and now the FlyteCo Tower experience. As a one-stop shop for beer and aviation enthusiasts, we are proud to serve this incredible community!  ***DISCLAIMER***  This historic tower tour does not have a working elevator. Guests must be physically capable of climbing 11 stories of stairs. This event is age restricted, and is only available for individuals age 10 and older. Individuals under 18 must have a parent/legal guardian physically present to sign a liability waiver on their behalf. We welcome all guests to share any pictures, memorabilia, or stories of their experiences at the former airport with the goal of building a community-sourced museum on the walls of the tour.
