This is an interesting place to visit. We had never been to an air museum before so was not sure what to expect. It was much cooler than we thought. They had a mash type set up outside whch was my favorite. The aircrafts on display were awesome. Definitely a cool thing to check out! more

This museum has a great variety of planes and very nice and interesting volunteers. Many of the volunteers flew these planes. Enjoyed it tremendously. more

We visited this museum on one of the rare wet days in Palm Springs. It is effectively two hangers side by side filled with old planes and cars, all of which were in good condition. Interpretive wall maps showed the war in the Pacific in one hanger and the war in Europe in the other. Outside there is a further... more

If you are interested in WW2 aeroplanes this museum is an absolute must. The aircraft aren't fenced off, you can get up close, touch them, bang your head on them and even climb inside some of them. The thing that really sets it apart though are the guys in the red shirts, each one an expert in his/her own field,... more

Have been to Palm Springs Air Museum two times (in 1999 and 2OO2) while visiting Desert Hot Springs. Since I grew up in California between 1957 and 1963 (12 to 18 years old) I have been very much interested in aviation and especially in WW II aviation. This museum is really the cream of the crop and I can linger... more
