This time I visited the site out at Dulles Airport. The museum was amazing as was experiencing the newly arrived Discovery. The trip out there on public transport was ridiculous and expensive. My advice? Take the 5a bus from the city centre to Dulles and then the shuttle to the museum. Not as we were told by ground staff a... More

It is possible that I was not as impressed with this museum as the others because I have been to many Air and Space museums and Space stations. If you have not been to Cape Canaveral, Houston, Kenai or other places of the like, you will be impressed. If you have it may not be worth your time. More

We had been there with our children over ten years ago, and wanted to see any new exhibits. Frankly, it looked exactly the same as I remembered it. I didn't detect any new exhibits.

My daughter is a huge fan of Amelia Earhart but when we went to DC in September 2009, the part of the useum that featured the aviatrix was being refurbished. The exhibit is now complete and everything she hoped it would be. More

My husband felt that there were not as many airplanes on display as he read about and were not displayed in any special way taking away from their importance. More

Take the time to go thru these exhibits. They are fascinating. Don't miss the Wright Bros room or the exhibit about black aviators. Both provide a lot of information that is not readily available to the public. More
