I have now been here twice and each time and am always amazed at the aircraft. I am not in the military nor do I have a passion for airplanes. The history and inspiring nature of this place is incredible. There is a wonderful diverse assortment of aircraft and the information about each is provided in nice detail. At the... More

So much history in one place. Volunteers (Vets) to share their history and stories of times gone by. Indoor and outdoor displays.

Everything and the well informed docents added to the day! There are TWO tours, one at the museum and also the Boneyard tour which takes you across the road to the Davis Montham Air Force Base. Both are worthwhile!

Staff in museum looked like they really have something to say, Many of them were military veterans, or former pilots. And do not forget to take bus trip, which will take you between conserved airplanes on near military base, which is boneyard or aircraft graveyard.

A fantastic array of aircraft, you can actually walk up to and touch some history. We went out of our way to get to Tuscon and see a boneyard but were not disappointed. we were overwhelmed by the quantity and quality of aircraft on display. The tour was also well worth doing. The volunteers were friendly and extremely knowledgeable. My... More

We have been here twice, once for their annual air show and again to help a friend with his project. Both times we were quite satisfied with the visit. They have over 200 air/spacecrafts including ones from other countries and many of these have historical value. My husband, a mechanical engineer, refused to leave both times. But beware, do not...

If you like airplanes you must go there! They have planes from all eras and you can spend lots of time in each building. There is lots of walking outdoors, so go early in the day. The tours fill up fast, so get your name on the tour list as soon as you get there.

I went here with my daughter, brother, and mom and dad. We had a great time! There are so many airplanes to see, and my dad and brother really knew a lot about the different planes. It was interesting and was an enjoyable time. There are several hangars and buildings to view the planes and exhibits, but the majority of... More

After going to this attration , i realized it was to much to see and remember it all. Very well done layout. I went on tour around the grounds and also the tour to the airforce base to see the planes in storage there. It was very interesting. The tour bus and tram were both comfortable.
