This is such a super way to spend a day--tour the lighthouse and don't miss the Museum. It is not only educational but soooo interesting for all ages!! The Blue Angels planes suspended overhead are awesome; there are many hands-on exhibits, a good café to have lunch or a beverage, and everything is very clean and spacious.

If you are not a fan of American exceptionalism please don't bother visiting the museum. I walked through it humbled by the engineering expertise and self sacrifice of those who have gone before. The planes and helicopters were amazing but the breathtaking stories of sacrifice and heroism were the main takeaway. At the end of the day it isn't the... More

I took my father-in-law who served on four Aircraft Carriers in the late 50's-early 60's. He was a member of VF-11, the famed Red Rippers. On the front-line as a Cold Warrior keeping F-8 Crusaders, S2B Anti-Submarine Warfare planes, Phantoms and others in the air. He had a ball. They had everything there, going from the turn of the century... More

We had the pleasure of visiting the Naval Air Station during a school field trip with my son and watched the Blue Angels practice. Without a doubt it was an amazing adventure. The museum was so much fun not only for the children, but I had a wonderful time as well! My son had a blast touring the inside of... More

If you go to NAS be sure and take a tour of the lighthouse. They even offer night tours or haunted tours! Too cool! I didn't have time to do the haunted tour but it sounded like fun! At NAS there are many different things to do and you can easily spend a whole day or even a weekend looking... More

We had only a few hours but could have easily spent the day touring this amazing museum. The exhibits were so well presented and the eras clearly marked made this museum stand out as a quality place to visit.
