After years of living in Oregon and never having made it to this museum, we finally decided to cross it off the bucket list. What a great facility! I'm a veteran (ask for a veteran discount!) and I'm also a private pilot so I enjoyed being around the aircraft as well as the military aspect of things. There are also... More

We had a wonderful time at Evergreen Aviation and Space Museum! We are active duty military so we got in for free. I saw the price for civilians and it was a little spendy but there's a lot to see. We were there for almost 2 hours. The place is HUGE! We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. Plus the staff was extremely... More

We went with our husbands thinking we would not enjoy it that much and only be there for an hour or so! It is amazing. We really enjoyed the theater and the exhibition with the Spruce Goose! Pay the extra monies to go upstairs to sit in the cockpit! AMAZING. Be prepared to be there for at least 3 hours.... More

Take several days--Informative Air Museum and Space Museum. The IMAX shows were OUTSTANDING and of course the water slides coming out of the B-747 were a great adventure for our grandboys and for us too!

A collection of historical planes, space craft, and a theater. You can spend a day here and be overwhelmed by the history of all the items you see. On top of that you will see the Howard Hughes's Spruce Goose. You will be able to walk inside on the observation deck and look into the cockpit and down the fuselage.... More

Yes, there are too many replicas, yes some of the signage is a bit faded, but the Spuce Goose makes up for it. Do pay the extra $25 to sit in the cockpit. Yes, you can sit in the left seat, put your hand on the yoke and throttles Hughes used for its only flight. A great highlight. And the... More

Overall, it is a nice set of museums (two different buildings with displays) with a lot of great aircraft. But as others have alluded to, it feels like they aren't quite done setting up. We did not visit the water park, but it looked pretty neat with water slides out of a 747... In the display buildings, some aircraft (SR-71,... More

... I would gladly give it five points. How in the world did the staff neglect to put informational signs in front of so many interesting planes and museum exhibits? No sign in front of the "Spirit of St. Louis", or below the most advanced drone ever built, and many, many other attractions. I don't want to buy the book... More

HUGE place! It was fun to look at all the planes, engines and space equipment. Two huge places and there is a movie place plus a waterpark. We only went to the 2 museums. There are people to answer questions and tell you some information about what you are looking at. There is a place for kids to play, a... More

I'm new to Oregon and was intrigued by Evergreen with the plan on their roof. When the opportunity came to go for free, I jumped at it. Free was a good price. I liked seeing the Spruce Goose and Ford tri motor (my mom went up in one). Beyond that, well, nothing spoke to me. Someone who loves planes will... More
