Colorado 101

Museums that house different relics and amazing discoveries in the different fields of study are all over the country. They tell different stories on different animals, species, places, and ways of lives in the different eras. Name it and the museums from the United States definitely have it. Then again, nothing could be more jaw dropping than the different museums found in Colorado, USA.

And that (if the geeks and science lovers are asked) is what’s great about Colorado.

The rich jungles found at the foothills of the Rocky Mountain found at the Eastern part of the state may seem like the most unlikely place to find bugs, but the May Natural History Museum of the tropics prove the cynics wrong in this view. Surprisingly, the Colorado Springs is the best place to find millipedes as long as twelve inches, species of bird-eating spiders and huge beetles that can reach even the size of the fist. They come with a hundred thousand more exotic bugs. The catch is that tourists will find them dead and preserved in the museum. Otherwise, only visitors who feel as if they are the living version of Indiana Jones can only have the guts to come down and see for themselves.

If tourists can’t get enough of the scary yet really amazing bugs, they can have their adrenaline more revved up in the Dragon Man’s Military Museum. The name itself suggests a whole lot of adventure-packed visit and review of the preserved artefacts from war zones collated by the Dragon Man himself, Mel Bernstein who is a Vietnam-era veteran from Brooklyn.

Walking along the museum would be like walking into a real warzone except there are no risks of losing your life from the blasting guns and tanks of the soldiers. Still, visitors can find bullet-blasted cars and human dummies covered in make-believe blood lying along the road towards Dragon Man’s compound. Tourists who find amusement in watching action movies or dream of walking into the exciting yet really dangerous lives of the navies and air force can have fun playing along the “STAY ON THE ROAD This family just hit a LANDMINE” and other warning signs that makes the museum convincing.

After “surviving” the dangerous warzones, visitors can unwind while driving go karts or practicing their soldier moves in the Paintball Park and firing ranges. The Dragon Man, being a licensed machine gun dealer can sell guns to tourists and assure that is definitely legal.

Visitors in Colorado, USA can have more of the crazy fun with weird yet really amusing things when they go visit the Swetsville Zoo featuring peculiar animals such as the bird with a shovel beak and a body made of a bicycle. Now this is definitely a zoo that can awaken the curiosity of the vacation goers as well as the passion of art lovers because Bill Swets put a lot of time and creativity in producing his own farm animals made from different kinds of metals.

From car parts, old farm machineries and metals from the junkshops, he’s able to create his first “pet” in his own yard which eventually led to another creation until the collection grew. Presently, he now showcases over a hundred and sixty metal farm animals that never fail to put a smile and bring amusement to visitors around the State.
