Good for all ages, it's really fun when you are visiting with family that used to work on some of the planes. Wear sunscreen and a hat!!!

Not only is the museum one of the best in the USA, but you can take a guided tour of the Boneyard at the nearby Aerospace Maintenance and Regeneration Centre (AMARG) in the Davis-Monthan Air Force Base. In winter there are only two tours of the boneyard, and it is not possible to pre book the tour, so arriving at... More

Going with my husband since he was interested in museums of this sort and expecting to be bored, I was pleasantly surprised by the interactive nature of the layout ( you can look inside some parts of aircrafts and learn a great deal about others through very informative signage and narration) and how it held my interest. We only had... More

I have now been here twice and each time and am always amazed at the aircraft. I am not in the military nor do I have a passion for airplanes. The history and inspiring nature of this place is incredible. There is a wonderful diverse assortment of aircraft and the information about each is provided in nice detail. At the... More

So much history in one place. Volunteers (Vets) to share their history and stories of times gone by. Indoor and outdoor displays.

Everything and the well informed docents added to the day! There are TWO tours, one at the museum and also the Boneyard tour which takes you across the road to the Davis Montham Air Force Base. Both are worthwhile!

Staff in museum looked like they really have something to say, Many of them were military veterans, or former pilots. And do not forget to take bus trip, which will take you between conserved airplanes on near military base, which is boneyard or aircraft graveyard.

A fantastic array of aircraft, you can actually walk up to and touch some history. We went out of our way to get to Tuscon and see a boneyard but were not disappointed. we were overwhelmed by the quantity and quality of aircraft on display. The tour was also well worth doing. The volunteers were friendly and extremely knowledgeable. My... More

We have been here twice, once for their annual air show and again to help a friend with his project. Both times we were quite satisfied with the visit. They have over 200 air/spacecrafts including ones from other countries and many of these have historical value. My husband, a mechanical engineer, refused to leave both times. But beware, do not...
