Outstanding collection of Naval aircraft. Perhaps the best collection of aircraft in the country. Moreover, it's free and the tour guides are great!

They have a restaurant onsite that is very affordable. It's wonderful seeing the awe in the children when they see how large the plans are up close. If you want... More

This place will take longer to explore than you expect. There are so many planes here! Many have been painstakingly restored. Lots of good information about each plane's purpose and vintage. Worth checking out, especially if you are in the area on a rainy day. Consider visiting the nearby lighthouse, even though there is an admission for that.

If you or your children like history, or flight this is the place for you! Even if you don't care for either, I think you would still like this place. It's great fun full of information and cool stuff. There is also an Imax theater inside and you can see a show pretty regularly. There are flight simulators and all... More

No greater amount of Naval History there here. As the birthplace of Naval Aviation nothing can compare. Plan on at least 5 hours including the Imax shows.

We recently visited the museum for the second time and it appears they've added some things since we last visited. It's a wonderful way to spend a day, learning history. Plenty of activities for kids, and it's free.
