It's been a few years since I've been to Fantasy of Flight, and I was surprised to see so many updates and additions to the facility. I thought I would just be there for a couple of hours, but spent the better part of the day looking at the exhibits and taking part in the tours that were scheduled. Since... More

Whether you are interested in planes or not you will love the fantasy of flight. The main building and the restaurant are excellent. Being a big kid I am interested in planes so it was on my must do list when we visited Florida I was certainly not disappointed. Thank you to everyone concerned.

I spend the day here and it was well worth the $30 to get in. More aircraft that you imagine and knowledgable people answeing any questions before a plane is taken out of the museum and flown before your very eyes...

This exhibit is well worth the trip, especially for anyone who is interested in the history and highlights of aviation. For all ages there is something anyone can learn and appreciate here. Not only do they offer "food for thought," they also offer "food for the body." The restaurant on the premise has a "down home" atmosphere and offers a... More

While this place is a bit pricey....I was very pleased that it actually was worth it as it was extremely interesting and very well done! I learned so much about airplanes and how they came to be and how they have been used throughout time...it certainly was not boring. We didn't get the chance to eat in the restaurant tho... More

After visiting Jack Browns Seaplane Base and having flown over Fantasy of Flight during my SES rating, I made my over by car - and was completely taken a back by how perfect and wonderful this living collection is. The highlight for me was the Sikorsky Flying Boat, which I believe was restored over many years by Dick Jackson then... More

You don't need to be mad on planes to visit this place because it's set up in a way to be interesting to anybody. Things for the kids (whatever age) with several simulators to sit in and you can take a plane ride as well if you want to (extra costs). The cost is reasonable and there is a lot... More

We got here bright and early and the place was yet to open and I was able to have a walk around the airfield. This entire site is owned by one man, Kermit Weeks, whom we were lucky enough to see before he flew out in his silver P51 to somewhere in Georgia. It was definitely him - he has... More
