Visit the Academy
Whether it's your first time here or a return to familiar ground, we're honored to welcome you to the U.S. Air Force Academy — a place to reconnect, reflect and be part of something greater than yourself.
Welcome to USAFA
There are countless reasons to explore the U.S. Air Force Academy. Located just north of Colorado Springs with panoramic views of the Rocky Mountains, the Academy offers something for everyone — from catching a game at Falcon Stadium and visiting iconic landmarks like Polaris Hall, to attending a show at the Planetarium and STEM Center or hiking the scenic Falcon Trail. Many visitors also come for milestone events that mark the cadet journey, including Inprocessing Day, Parents’ Weekend and graduation, and enjoy exploring the Heritage Trail at the Doolittle Campus.
