We only had an hour to visit, but we could have spent much longer in this museum! There is a such a wide variety of aircraft, and we enjoyed learning so much in the brief time we spent at the center. We'll definitely be back for a longer visit on our next trip to Virginia! My 3 teens were quite impressed, (which doesn't happen often these days!) 😄

Amazing place, can't believe it's free (although you have to pay $15 for parking). The biggest problem is: there is so much to see! After 4 hours I still didn't see everything. If you don't read captions it might be much faster though, I just like to know exactly what I'm looking at. Exhibitions are very interesting and take you through the entire history of flying, from balloons, through first planes up to space travel. You can see actual devices used by NASA in the past and things that visited space! How cool it is to see real Discovery spaceship and Blackbird aircraft! Everything is captioned and there are staff members and volunteers answering your questions. Also there are paid flight simulators which are not true simulators, rather fun games. VR of space exploration wasn't really worth it IMO (both time and money) but for kids it might be cool.

Absolutely fantastic museum. Decided to swing by on our way out of DC as the Air and Space Museum is closed for renovation, and very happy we did. The amount and variety of aircraft was astonishing. The museum guides were helpful and really appreciated the experts on zoom calls near certain exhibits to answer detailed questions. The entire museum was clean and nicely lit. Will definitely come back again. A must see when in DC.

This has to be one of the best things to do during a layover at any airport in the world - as well as being a fantastic day out in its own right. You can catch the 981/983 bus service from right outside Dulles to the museum. It’s $2 each way - and you need cash. No debit cards. Service runs every 20 mins. The museum is free (though if you drive it’s $15 parking) and you could easily spend 3+ hours there. From Concorde to an F35, the Discovery Space Shuttle and the alien-like SR71 Blackbird. This museum is a must for any aviation or space geek. It is a world class collection.

What you can do is take the Fairfax County Connenctor 981 or 983 from Wiehle Reston East Metro Station on the silver line. You can catch the silver line from DC. The bus is 2$ flat fare, but with the metro fare, go to wmata.com and then go to the trip planner to look for the fare.
Yes, Udvar-Hazy has a large parking area in front of the museum. Parking costs $15.00 per vehicle, but admission to the museum is free.
Yep
After the security check go right around the corner to the lockers. There are two sizes available, but also the larger one will only fit medium luggage (barely). If your luggage does not fit, you can carry it around. There are stairs in the museum but there are always elevators too
There are lockers on site that can be used to store luggage. They are 25 cents to use. We had no problem fitting a couple carry on bags plus one checked bag in them.
The membership supports the upkeep and aqusition of the different items on display. Just imagine how it would be if we didn't have anything to help share history and knowledge with the younger generation.
