Don’t miss the chance to see a SpaceX rocket booster up close. It’s mounted just above the Mary Carter Greenway in Littleton, inside a fenced lot by DISH Network. You can’t go inside, but the view from the bike path is more than enough for a quick, geeky photo stop. The site is open daily from 9 AM to 5 PM.

This is the closest most people will ever get to a rocket booster. It is located right next to the bike path. It is in a fenced area with locked gate. I don't know what the opening hours are. Maybe someone else can post those hours to this highlight when they visit it.
