A place for exploring

There are many cutting-edge learning centers, historic sites, and outdoor retreats to explore at the U.S. Air Force Academy. Each contributes to the unique experiences by cadets, visitors, faculty, and more.

Start your experience at the Barry Goldwater Visitor’s Center. View our Cadet Chapel, with its towering spires reaching 150 feet in the air, or our newest addition to the cadet area, Polaris Hall, home to the Center for Character and Leadership Development.

Whether you’re here as a cadet, visitor, or one of the many people who support them along the way, one thing is certain. The Academy experience, decades in the making, is unlike any other.
