I liked it more than the original. SR-71, Discovery shuttle, Enola Gay...wow! Even a trip up to the tower for a very cool view of Dulles runways and surrounding area. IMAX theatre, food court, gift shop, but most important a very cool collection of WWII planes, commercial craft, space craft and rockets. Kids even went on the fighter jet simulator... More

this is the place for you! Much less crowded than the museum on the mall, it contains a number of historical planes and the Space Shuttle. Plan a few hours - you can't get through this quickly.

so much to see. concorde, enola gay-dropped the bomb on hiroshima, the original discovery shuttle and a wide variety of different airplanes. Also has a control tower you can go up in and watch the planes land on either side of you. there is a mickey d-s in there and a good gift shop

Myself and 2 colleagues arrived into Dulles on Sunday afternoon and decided to make a quick detour to the Udvar-Hazy Center before booking into our hotel. As a bonus, parking was free after 4pm so we saved $15! In just over an hour, we managed to make a rapidfire tour of all the major exhibits and still managed to get... More

The place is huge, and has to be to house many dozens of full-size aircraft and spacecraft including a B-29 bomber and a space shuttle. Also on display are missiles, satellites, engines, etc., along with some personal items from... More

The museaum is in a big hanger and is air conditioned. We also went up to the observation tower to see planes taking... More

I am no air/space buff, but my 8 year old and my brother were always interested in planes and flight history so we decided to visit one Saturday. Only one word can describe the museum - Brilliant!! I think what really made the difference to us was the fantastic FREE 90 minute guided tour (that actually went on for almost... More

It contains examples of flying machines from every era. They are displayed so one can understand the chronological development of aircraft design and technology. Great to take grandchildren to visit.

This place out at Dulles Airport where you can see the Space Shuttle, the Concorde, the Enola Gay, the SR-71 Blackbird, all in air-conditioned comfort is simply awesome awesomeness. Its just amazing. You can also see planes landing and taking off from Dulles, while listening to traffic-control live. And you can watch the experts doing the restoration work in the... More
