It's all been said before in other reviews. If you are into planes you cannot miss this one. It's an excellent morning out but allow sufficient time as a lot of the exhibits are out in the desert, it's big, big, hot, hot, and takes a good 2 hours to walk around it all, add 1.5 hours if you want... more

Fantastic!

My family recently went to the Pima Air and Space Museum. As soon as we got to the entrance, a man gave us a map of the entire complex. I almost fainted. Not just because of the size of the place, but the heat too! It was about 106 degrees F and were from rainy and cold Seattle, Washington. In... more

Touring takes way longer than you would expect. I like planes, and military stuff--I could have spent 8 hours there. My wife and kids, not so much, but we were there for 4 hours (including the trip to the air base)and didn't get any complaints. Kids seemed to like it. It was also about 77 degrees, it would probably be... more

We have been to the Pima air and space museum a few times. What a great place for kids and parents who like airplanes. They probably have the best collection of airplanes in the world! If you have small children a stroller is highly recommended for the airplanes outside since you will have to walk a lot. We have also... more

This place has almost 300 aircraft, both fixed wing and helicopters, with most of them secured outside. One can walk down rows and rows of military and civilian aircraft used in WWII, Korea, and Vietnam as well as other places around the world. There are several exhibits including a B-29 superfortress which is what was used in the bombing of... more

Really not any others that really stand up to this museum. One simple question - do you love airplanes - if it is a yes or maybe - here is a place to visit. Simply astonishing! more

It was Valentines Day and the Two Wise Ones had nothing to do. Susan had already gotten an Airstream recently so she asked her beloved husband what he wanted to do for Valentines Day. Maikel responded that he wanted to go to the Pima Air & Space Museum. So that’s where they went. The museum was full of tour guides... more
