You don't have to be a plane enthusiast to enjoy this place. There's a lot of different planes you can look into and read about, and lots of opportunities for kids to push buttons. It was really interesting to see the photos of the tarps used to disguise the airport as a neighborhood during WW2!

Small but great aviation museum! The entrance to park is the immediate left after the Donald Douglas Loop S intersection, in front of the outddor aircraft. The rel gem of this place is the detail and history pieces they have. There is a great display of model aircraft including an historic Pan Am aircraft. The museum is 2 floors, with the actual table from the former board room. amazing experience. 4 stars as the gift shop wasn't that great, and the inner cockpit of the Fed Ex aircraft is still closed off, with COVID being cited as the reason.

A great place for anyone into aviation or military. They have quite a few artifacts that are very unique. Staff know lots about flying today and were very helpful. Once your done at the museum you can walk a few minutes to an observation deck where you can watch planes taking off and landing. Very cool!

My job had a meeting with 300 people at this museum. Everything was super organized, the displays were amazing.Although, the reason I'm giving 4 stars instead of 5 is because the airplanes that are outside that are a part of the show are way too dirty. If they were cleaner and shinier, it would tie the whole place together. Nevertheless, I left with a wonderful first impression of the place, and would definitely recommend it as a place to visit and explore.

I have some military desks for donation can anyone tell me how and who to donate it to

I would contact the museum and just ask. Most institutions have donations departments and the staff will refer you to the appropriate person. If your donation does not fit with the collection of the museum the staff will normally try to refer you to a place it will fit. Thank you for wanting to share rather than fill up a landfill.
