A "must do" for the aviator buff

If you enjoy flying, planes, and space, you'll think you've died and gone to heaven. We thoroughly enjoyed our visit here, but what made it exceptional was the tour led by docent, Sig Crossland. ...

This would have to be one of the best air and space museums on the planet. You could easily spend a full day there, with interests one the entire family. Admission is free once you pay for parking...

This is an amazing museum! The breadth and quality of the displays are truly amazing. (Mind you if you are not into aviation it may be a trifle boring! Be warned!). I am so I absolutely loved it. ...

The Space Shuttle, Discovery, up close and personal!

It's hard to believe how insignificant you feel when you walk into the hangar where the 'Discovery' is housed. What an awesome sight!! Its covering of tiles was a real eye-opener for me. There are...

The Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center near Washington is a museum you can't afford to miss. The three level center has engines, helicopters, ultra-lights, flight simulators, and experimental flying machines...

A must see in Washington

I am a little biased because Washington DC is one of my favourite cities, but I really think you'd be hard pressed to find a city in the US as beautiful and with such a variety of wonderful cultural...

Discovery Space Shuttle, Enola Gay, F-22's, Oh My!

Our group of 13 (all adults) had scheduled a private, docent led tour of the Air & Space Museum. This tour is not for the faint hearted or for those unable to stand and walk for long periods of time....

Great exhibit but skip the tower.

Of course the Smithsonian exhibit is awesome, but I'd skip the control tower 'tour' next time especially if there is a line. They move people up and down very slowly and there's not much to see. The...

Gigantic hangar full of famous and fabulous aircraft, including the Enola Gay, the Gossamer Albatross, and the Space Shuttle. Has a McDonald's inside, and a nice gift shop.

We enjoyed the visit. There are a lot of airplanes, rockets. And some displays are historically significant; Aircrafts in early age, rare German, Japanese military aircrafts, B-29 which bomed...
