If you like kites this is the place to go. There were many different kinds and some history was given as well. The displays were beautiful and there were hands on things to do, ie make a kite and a paper crane. The admission was very reasonable as well.

This place had more information than I thought was possible on the subject of kites. Take the challenge of making an oragami crane. We ended up frustrated and never did get it figured out. But lots of people make them. So we guess it's possible. haha!

Stayed here for only five minutes. This place is strictly, and yes I mean it, strictly for KITE lovers.

I brought the kids here one afternoon to kill some time. To be honest, I thought it would be more interesting than what is really was. I honestly tried to like the place, but the kids and I found it pretty dull. The lady at the front desk was very friendly. I used free passes from some free museum entrance... More

I know a lot more about kites now ! Great; hands on place and very reasonable price for admission. Nice welcoming staff; clean restrooms

This very special kite museum is a one-of-a-kind in the world! Located only a block from the sandy beaches and dunes of the Pacific Ocean, where the world's largest kite festival is held each August, Long Beaches' kite museum caters to lovers of the history and artistic beauty of kites. Written descriptions and drawings of the first kites, photos of... More

I liked the fact that half the museum was dedicated to information on various uses of kites and the other half on the more artistic recreational or sporting kits, including kites from around the world.

This was so much fun. The kites are beautiful and I learned that kites were used in many practical ways, not just for flying At the beach.

So its cheap but not a 'must' do. You get to make a kite form plastic sheet - big deal. The WW2 room is interesting but there are maybe 3 kites there.
