This is an amazing museum. Not only will fans of airplanes love it here, but people who enjoy history, or even just want a unique activity to take your kids too. I recently took my 10 and 12 year old and they were fascinated with something in each hangar. There are even several planes you can get into and sit in the cockpit. Don’t forget to check out the upstairs library and flight simulators. The library was especially interesting because they had original print magazines going back to the 20’s and 30’s. It was so interesting to see the ads, stories, and prices of things back then. Make sure you take the guided plan tour which is only and extra $5. An actual retired air force pilot was working the day we went and he had some amazing stories and insight to share.

No words to explain how amazing this place is!! It’s a very surreal experience, and the people who work and volunteer there are wonderful. There are many workers there who were soldiers themselves, and hearing their knowledge is something I’m grateful for. The planes are breathtaking and the displays of knowledge and artifacts engage oneself. They also have a library of Life magazines, how cool! Highly recommended taking anyone there!!

Awesome museum with a cool collection. Especially did not expect the extensive selection of ship models and overall descriptions of the major campaigns. Some galleries were a little disorganized but with how often the planes are moved that is easily excused. Would highly recommend as a destination if you are in the area

I used to love going here as a kid, and the place has really grown. We definitely enjoyed our time there. The docents are quite knowledgeable and many are veterans. They have a sizable collection there. We really enjoyed seeing some of the planes fly. You can actually pay to ride around in some of the aircraft. They have adequate parking, so you shouldn't have any issues there. Plus, they also have a number of aircraft out front for you to view for free.

Not sure yet I'll be out there to find out soon

How many planes outside & how many inside in hanger? Want to know regarding summer heat. Are hangers cooler? How many planes on exhibit?

Most of the planes and exhibits are in the nicely air conditioned hangars. The planes on the tarmac are nice there are about 10 out there, but the ones in the hangars are really excellent and contain information out each vehicle. If you arrive early and are appropriately prepared you could spend time appreciating the planes outside and head in to the hangars to cool off.

Can I rent a scooter or wheelchair to get around?
