Last minute guided tour due to the rainy day. Our guide, Paul, was a wealth of information as he walked us through the museum and restoration projects. This was such a cool experience. I didn’t expect to spend 3hrs here and still have more to see. If you have time and are near the area, I highly recommend!

This was a very educational tour. To be able to go behind the scenes on how the planes are restored was amazing. The stories that Bob was able to relay about individual aircraft was worth the extra $5 for the guided tour. This is a must see attraction if you enjoy WW II history.

It was an amazing experience. I’m a WW2 enthusiast, my father being in on the tail end of the war. Jim and Tyler were great hosts and very knowledgeable. It filled in a lot of gaps for me. I will encourage my family and friends to attend. Well worth time.

Wow! This museum may be smaller than some other aircraft museums but it’s the biggest I know of with authentic WWII aviation that are still dancing in the sky today! I’m not a WWII buff like my husband and I thoroughly enjoyed this museum! We had a guided tour and our guide was very knowledgeable and told amazing stories on every plan we viewed. They also have authentic aircraft pieces of art available to purchase that they create there on site. If you’re in the Colorado Springs area, I highly recommend.

This museum and its docent guides are awesome! They bring the whole museum to life and their passion for what they do is infectious. Magnificent time here. Eric was our guide and he was great, loved his stories and history about what we were seeing. After the main museum tour and the West PAC Restoration tour ( a must See)we visited the other hanger displays from vehicles and other aircraft. The flight simulator room was really interesting to see how these hero’s learned to fly. The gentlemen working in there gave us a demonstration in the restored instrument flight trainer and showed us how it worked and the engineering behind this device was fascinating. Wonderful museum and the people their are what makes it top notch! Take the guided tour!

A friend of mine lives in Colorado and we really wanted to check out this place. We had such a great time!! So worth it! let me share the secret gem to this place a Docent led tour for $5 bucks seriously. Our docent was Blair she was very knowledgeable, Was enthusiastic, and fun. My friend and i thought it was going to be 15 minutes or something, but the tour was 2 hrs. long! they show you behind the scenes and it is worth the admission and the tour fee. if you go do this you won't regret it. great job Blair. My only regret is i wished we could have stayed longer! the collection is fantastic.

We absolutely loved the WW2 Air Museum. We learned so much and were amazed at the collection of WW2 planes many of which were the only restored fully operational aircraft of their kind. The docent was awesome, full of great stories and a retired pilot himself. Don’t miss this museum. It is for all ages and so well worth the cost of admission!!!

A good friend is a volunteer and docent here, regularly posting quality photos and releases on Face Book. We are in Colorado Springs from time to time and wanted to now visit this museum. The facility and displays are immaculate. Everything is maintained by a dedicated group of volunteers. Almost every aircraft is flown on a regular basis. We participated in a docent led tour of two hours which started with a video presentation including some background on WW II. With the docent, we were relieved of reading many of the displays, and possibly received some behind the scenes information. Every aircraft has a story of origin, recovery, restoration and sometimes it's action and pilots. We were also guided to the restoration hangers, some of which I believe are public as the vehicles and simulators are available in that area. If you can, watch for their flying displays themed to various theatres during the war to time with your visit. Sign up for their newsletter or follow their social media. They do great photo shoots of their aircraft. If you are a pilot, enjoy airplanes or are interested in history this is an engaging museum.

You get to see a lot of WWII airplanes between the 3 hangers they have. We did a tour to the other 2 hangers (besides the main one) with a docent, Kirk Brown. You get an explanation about the planes and the restoration process. They provide a lot of written detail about the planes and memorabilia they have so there’s a lot to read which is what my husband likes. We ended up going here because we had a very rainy day during our vacation and I am glad we did. I would recommend a visit even it it isn’t raining!! They do not have any kind of cafe or snack area so we ate our packed lunches in our car and then went back in to complete our visit to the museum. I believe that a cafe is planned in their expansion plans.

The more I learn about flight the more amazing it is to me. Our tour guide was knowledgeable and enthusiastic. Seriously some rad stuff they have there. The younger of my children got bored but my oldest (9 yrs) liked it. We missed the flight that took place earlier in the day but it was still plenty worth it.
