Pueblo Things to Do

Fred Weisbrod began collecting vintage military aircraft at the Pueblo airport (a World War II air base) in 1972. A group of veterans formed the Pueblo Historical Aircraft Society in 1985, to help preserve Weisbrod's collection. The planes were moved inside two old hangars. Since then, the collection has grown, and now includes some other military vehicles and other gear.

The showpiece is a World War II B-29 Superfortress. These aircraft carried the war right into the heart of Japan during the last year of World War II. The one shown here was nicknamed Peaches, and flown by a native of Pueblo. This is a must-see for any military/aviation buff.

A little coffee shop meets laundromat where you can eat, drink, and enjoy free wifi while awaiting your clothes to wash and dry. With an electronic guage above the door - you can see when your laundry is done without stepping away from your coffee to check. Friendly staff and clean establishment. The coffee and drinks seem to be all pre-made, but the pad is definitely a class above most laundromats. Ratin: 2.5 stars out of 5.

This place is a DUD and tourist trap. Pueblo RiverWalk - http://www.puebloharp.com/ the cookie store was a waste of money. The brownie tasted awful, the snickerdoodles, peanut butter, "special" mother's day cookies, were all disgusting. The whole cookie store was overpriced for such nasty treats. Where did these people learn how to bake?

The Pueblo "Riverwalk " from start to finish is only a 10 minute walk with dog owners walking around letting their dogs *** and poop all over the riverwalk. The river is full of trash. Mexican kids with their mothers have no manners, they need to be deported back to Mexico. For supposedly being a great part of Pueblo, it was gross. Will not recommend and won't visit again.

West of town is a city park that is just open desert with some hills, used for motorcycle and ATV fun. It is pretty big, and the time my daughter took me there with the ATV's, it was empty but for one trail bike. My son in law broke three ribs there another time.

Not in Pueblo, but over an hour away in the mountains. Pueblo is still about the closest reference point. Built by an eccentric individual over 20 years, and still under construction. Bishop has had trouble with many government entities and has signs posted througout the castle area describing his problems. But still very welcoming to the public. My pictures are two years old, but I was there this week, and much more work has been done. We have been there three times, and now visit every time we are in the area. It's an awesome project.

Pueblo is a pretty quiet town , but nice to walk around in. The River Walk is a focal point of the center of the city and next to the restored area of Union Street and Victoria Street. It is not long, but quite pleasant.

Pueblo is restoring it's downtown area. It has just restored the Arkansas River to it's original location and built a beatiful river walk along it. Often there are festivities to attend. Other times it's just a beatiful, peaceful place to walk along at a leisurely pace and enjoy the sights.

The city of Pueblo is spending $20 million USD to construct a new 100.000ft2 (9.300m2) library. Construction began in the spring of 2001 and expected to open in late October 2003. It will be the biggest and most technologically advanced library in all of southern Colorado.

To see the construction web cam go to www.pueblolibrary.org then click on "about us" then "construction news" then "construction web cam" The cam updates at the top of each hour.
