Great place to go if you like airplanes. Most of them are jets, but there are as well some fine examples of prop driven airplanes as well as gliders. More

Superb museum with a large parking area outside for old Jets, Soviet helicopters and some NATO planes.One hangar is dedicated to aircraft engines from early 1900 onwards. Ask for details how to get there from Tourist information. I was 5 zloty return tram ride from center to the museum. More

as a big fan of aviation, i had to visit this museum. I saw that they make a big effort to rebuilt the hangars and the main museum, where you can find a real ATC machine, old planes, the Seats of the new Dreamliner of LOT. The biggest plus and minus, is the airplane exhibition on the main field. The... More

for aviators, this is a "must see".. It's a short #4 trolley ride east of town or a $7 taxi ride. More

If you are fascinated by the 'cold war' this museum is a must see. It has lots of old, but serious Soviet hardware on display and you can wander around it all. The missiles and jet fighter-bombers are there for close inspection. One or two 'western' planes are on display also. Well worth the 10zloty entrance fee. Nearest tram stop... More

Always been interested in aircraft so this was a must for me. Huge array of cold war soviet aircraft from mig15 to mig 29s and they are all parked up without barriers/chains so you can go up and touch them which is pretty cool. 2 hangars have older exhibits ranging from WW1 to WW2 and id happily spend a day...

I was keen to visit this museum having read a few reviews on tripadvisor before we left, and I'm very glad we did. It's a short journey from the centre of Krakow (we got the number 40 from Stradom) on the tram & then a short walk from Wieczysta. You then walk away from the town for 5 minutes until... More

As the girlfriend of an aviation geek (hope he doesn't read this) this is a brilliant museum. Tram from our hotel cost 2.80zlt (50p each way) get off at AWF or stop before either way short walk to museum. Entry to museum 10zlt each (£2) We went this week, -1degree and lots of snow, but all open, just snow covered.... More

Difficult to find but once there was interesting. However there are little facilities not even a cafe for a brew! Missed business opportunity there. The planes are interesting but more translation is needed for foreigners. Also too much technical spec on the plane but little history. Saying that some fantastic ww1 biplanes been fully restored and they are excellent. Other... More
