This is the WORST experience I have ever encountered on a field trip and I am beyond disappointed it was at this historic site that I myself went to as a child and remembered fondly. The guides (specifically the man) were beyond rude to our group. Our school of 4th graders came to learn about the cool history that Ft. Uncompaghre offers.

I have never left a negative review, but thought others should know about what a disgrace...

Do better...

The posted information was very informative. There's a turkey the kids can see close up. Facilities are only a porta-potty. Know that Google's address is wrong. It's 440 NORTH Palmer St. Leaving out the North takes you to the...
