My two little guys and of course my Husband enjoy this museum! We have visited many .. MANY..times!! :) The exhibits are neat to see up close and the museum is in an actual hanger.

Outside a visiter will be greeted by a Grummam F-14 Tomcat & a SR-71 Blackbird. In the lobby two ealy Wright gliders hang from the ceiling, both replicas. I would say half of the a/c are biplanes. Several a/c hang from the ceiling. All floor a/c are side by side, with no crowding and a low rope barrier in front.... More

The TA reviews were so good for this one that I decided to see for myself. My kids and I had a great time. I think the price is reasonable for what they have, and the exhibits are very informative. Sometimes in the large museums, like Air and Space, there's almost too much to take in. My kids particularly enjoyed... More

I'd seen the beautiful SR-71 Blackbird out front for years but was very surprised at the collection inside! Many interesting displays, never very crowded and something for everyone. Really good if you have a couple of hours to kill before or after a flight as it's located on airport property.

My 15 year old son and I visited the museum. $6 entry fee for adults (much less for children, free for a certain age and under). Surprising number of aircraft inside, clean, well laid out, with lots of hands on stuff - and a SR71 blackbird outside that you can TOUCH (some have referred to it as a stealth aircraft... More

We really enjoyed our visit to this museum. The price was right, the place well air conditioned for a super hot week and it was not busy busy so we were able to enjoy ourselves, take our time, read, and play with some of the stuff they have. Some stuff was broken, but most of the items worked. The models... More

By the airport, the building doesn't look like much from the outside - except for the stealth airplane in the front yard. Inside is a great collection of aircraft that are really beautiful machines. The staff was extremely friendly, helpful and informative.
