I have been wanting to go to this attraction for several years, but have been putting it off due to the expense. I finally decided I better take my ten year old twins before they start getting too old for this sort of thing. I packed us a lunch and snacks to help keep the cost down. We went on... More

I love aviation museums! This is one of the best. I believe it tops Wright-Patterson, which I visited in 1984. There is so much to see of aviation from around the world, from the earliest days to space-age exhibits. Got to go on the Spruce Goose...what a trip! Hungry? There's good food in the cafe. Worth every minute and every... More

We were amazed at the quantity and quality of the Aviation and Space Museum which included the Evergreen Theatre. There were 3 buildings with the Wings & Waves Waterpark located on the same property. Loved the aviation themed playground for the kids! They had model planets along the walkway. This is a must destination for any aviation fan. The road... More

Arrived 10:30 in the morning on Friday May 18th 2012. Not crowded at all until I was leaving about 2pm. Fantastic air conditioned facilities. Had most ww2 fighters (no p51). Only one heavy bomber (B17). Floorspace was crowded. Not all exhibits had informational plaques. A replica of the "Spirit of St. Louis" was hidden under the right rear of the... More

This is a great place and it is huge; two large buildings and a theater. Wear good walking shoes and allow lots of time to see it all. They span the Wright Brothers Kitty Hawk Flyer to the Apollo moon shots, and have an extensive WWII collection, and the Spruce Goose. Admission is a bit pricey, but well worth it... More

The Spruce Goose, an SR 71 Blackbird, and hundreds of other exhibits and aircraft. One of the best air museums I have ever been to. Big, clean, and well layed out buildings....you really have to see it to believe it. We did a guided tour and he was so knowledgeable and fun. Even my seven year old was attentive and... More
