We all enjoyed the museum! My husband and I hadn’t been since we were kids. Our son (6) first time. Just enough “kid friendly” activities tucked in with the exhibits to keep him entertained. Neat to see how big these planes are! Probably could have skipped the flight simulator, not sure if it was worth $10+ each and wasn’t very long but 6 yr old did think it was neat. Gift shop cashier (older gentleman, didn’t catch his name) was very kind and engaged with his customers

Visited on a Sunday afternoon in May of 2024. This stop was definitely on my list of places to visit in the Omaha area. Parking was great and the grounds were clean. Not too busy on our visit, later in the afternoon on a Sundsy. If you're just into looking at planes then this museum might take an hour if you're stopping to take plenty of pictures, like I did. If you take the time to read on the displays and literature you could be here for several hours.

I have driven past this place a couple times, and have always wanted to stop. I’m a huge airplane buff. But I’ve always been in a hurry to get somewhere else. Finally got to do it after several years of delays and was not disappointed. They have one of the only remaining B36s in the world and it was awesome to see it! Staff were friendly and the entire museum is well arranged and has great exhibits!

This is a great museum! It is a great collection with a few one of a kind models. The collection is large enough to feel fulfilled, yet not so large as to bore others less enlightened than you. The first thing you see as you walk in is a beautiful display of a SR-71, it's mounted in such a way that the view is unique from other Blackbirds I've seen. If there is any complaint, it is that there just isn't enough room for the collection. But don't that dissuade you. It's definately worth your time.

Amazing museum! We spent the morning touring the museum and could have been there the entire day. There were so many exhibits to see and video stories too. There were 2 groups of very well behaved young students visiting along with a birthday party. Anyone with an interest in airplanes and space travel should visit it. There are 2 simulators also which proved that we are NOT pilots. They were fun though!

We stopped here on our trip from Bob Kerrey Pedestrian Bridge to our Lincoln hotel. It was a special day with free admission for the forces and firemen, etc, a music band, fire dept equipment and all types of vendors. After using their clean restrooms and paying $14 for 1 senior, we passed the entry’s "Blackbird" Lockheed SR-71A and into Hanger A to the hanging U2 and the extensive exhibit on Francis Gary Powers situation after May 1 1960. Below on the crowded floor, we had a closeup of the large Boeing B-52B "Stratofortress" that we saw filling a distant runway in Happy Valley Labrador years ago. Hanger B had several older planes to board with docents to direct and answer questions. In many ways this museum seemed a smaller but similar exhibit to Udvar-Hazy Center at Dulles Airport with many different types of aircraft, missiles and spacecraft. They are all fascinating to explore.

We had planned to visit Strategic Air Command & Aerospace Museum a few years ago, but this a case where a delay provided us with a better experience. The new facility is beautiful and spacious. In addition to learning about the planes displayed in the museum, we learned about the building of the new facility from photos and descriptions on a wall in the central area. We tried to view a video, but they didn't seem to be working well that morning. The building has two hangars; if short on time, visit the hangar on the right -- it has more planes in a bigger space.

Easy to find from Omaha, lots of free parking and the building is very nice. The restrooms are AMAZING! Cafe, not so much. Enough benches for those who needed a break and diverse exhibits to engage the others. Not as much outside as I expected though given aircraft... Reasonable entry fees.

The SAC & Aerospace museum is located in Ashland, just off I-80 and within half an hour by car from Omaha. Free parking is available in front of the museum. General admission is USD 16 plus tax with reductions for seniors, military, and children. Prices are higher during weekends and Planetarium shows are extra. We were warmly greeted by a volunteer and had just bought our tickets when another gentleman by coincidence came to the entrance area. It turned out to be Clayton Anderson, retired astronaut and CEO of the museum and we were very pleased to have the opportunity to meet him and have a short conversation. It is a very large museum with much to see in both hangars, including several historical videos. Free tours are available and we were lucky to catch one. Our guide was a veteran with an impressive first-hand knowledge about the planes including some interesting personal experiences. You may easily spend several hours at this excellent museum. We really enjoyed our visit here and would love to come back.

My wife had been hesitant to visit SAC; however, I asked several times, she spoke with people who had gone there, and I finally got a positive reply. After our visit, she admitted that she had enjoyed herself. That's high praise indeed! The exhibits are professionally done, varied, and extensive. There is something for those of all ages to see and do. And we did see people of all ages there -- even on a rainy Monday that likely kept some folks sitting at home. We loved the variety and sheer numbers of aircraft -- so many and from different eras too! Just getting all those planes in the display areas would have been a feat... We liked being able to go inside some of them or view through plastic windows to appreciate the cramped spaces that pilots and crew dealt with. We bought tickets for the planetarium show; but didn't think it was worth the additional $3/$5 price. It was mostly about observatories in Chile which could probably be seen for free on the Internet. I had hoped for something about constellations that could have been shown on the roof of that small inflatable dome. That aside, it was a fascinating visit. The sections telling about astronauts were quite informative. The sections giving details about various wars were also very interesting. Another section that I really enjoyed were the Armed Forces specialty football uniforms that ringed the lobby area around the gift shop. BTW, there are some very nice items in that gift shop.
