The TA reviews were so good for this one that I decided to see for myself. My kids and I had a great time. I think the price is reasonable for what they have, and the exhibits are very informative. Sometimes in the large museums, like Air and Space, there's almost too much to take in. My kids particularly enjoyed... More

I'd seen the beautiful SR-71 Blackbird out front for years but was very surprised at the collection inside! Many interesting displays, never very crowded and something for everyone. Really good if you have a couple of hours to kill before or after a flight as it's located on airport property.

Surprising number of aircraft inside, clean, well laid out, with lots of hands on stuff - and a SR71 blackbird outside that you can TOUCH (some have referred to it as a stealth aircraft... More

We really enjoyed our visit to this museum. The price was right, the place well air conditioned for a super hot week and it was not busy busy so we were able to enjoy ourselves, take our time, read, and play with some of the stuff they have. Some stuff was broken, but most of the items worked. The models... More

By the airport, the building doesn't look like much from the outside - except for the stealth airplane in the front yard. Inside is a great collection of aircraft that are really beautiful machines. The staff was extremely friendly, helpful and informative.

This is a small museum with a lot to offer. Great display of planes and a couple that the kids can even get into. Flight simulator and the other interactive displays that demonstrate the basics of flight are great. And, the gentleman that is always there to greet you at the door is very helpful and friendly.

Interesting, and love the flight simulators and mini plane, but can get boring after awhile for the kids or you.
