My husband and I are both in the military so we really enjoy experiences like this, but when we are traveling with our 6 kids (ages range from 3-18) we are never quite sure if we should stop at museums because of their entertainment level. However, this museum surprised us. It was incredible and every museum guide and expert were so friendly and patient. They took the time to guide, answer questions, and show things to our older and younger kids that they thought would intrigue them. If you go we highly recommend David F. He was so funny, kind, patient, and such an expert about the entire museum and base. He made our entire stay so fun and we ended up staying longer than we expected and it felt like no time had passed at all. We so appreciate his time and kindness! Thank you to all the incredible staff and volunteers that operate that museum! It is definitely worth the stop!

What an awesome visit! We spent several hours at Air Mobility Command Museum yesterday learning about the aircraft and people that have been part of the incredible history of the Air Mobility Command. Our guide, Stan, is an excellent ambassador for aviation and military history. He shared so many interesting stories and details about the planes and the people who flew on them. We have visited many aviation museums and sites over the years. This is our best experience ever - by far! The museum, parking, and guides are all free. I would highly recommend talking with one of the guides instead of walking through by yourself. While there is a lot of relevant and useful information on the signs, the guides really bring the stories and information to life. If you happen to end up with Stan or Dave as your guide, tell them that Zen sent you!

I would highly recommend a visit to the Dover Air Mobility Museum. I wasn't sure what to expect but we came away with a great experience. We started our tour with the control tower where a volunteer explained how the control tower worked. After the tower, we viewed the aircraft on display and we were able to get inside four of the planes on display. As we were leaving the display area, a volunteer joined us (Brian Smith) and took the time to explain everything to us in a fun and passionate way. Brian truly made the experience one we won't forget.

It was a very amazing tour wow the tour guide was very friendly and knowledgeable. I would recommend this museum tour to anyone by the way I am from Barbados visiting the US with my wife who is a US citizen, this tour was the highlight of my visit to the US you guys at the AMC are amazing. 👍🙏

A very good “boneyard” of retired military planes - mostly cargo and tankers. There are a couple of WWII vintage planes in an indoor hanger. But the majority are out on the tarmac. With the help of a very able tour guide, John, we saw the 25-or so outdoor. planes. A few could be boarded for a closer look: - a YC-9C that ferried government bigwigs, including stints as Air Force 2. - a workhouse C-130, complete with JATO attachment fittings. - a pair of C-141’s - an A and a B. - a collection of “transition” cargo haulers as the breed took shape after WWII. - two big tankers - KC-135 and KC-10. - and the gem: an immaculate C-5. Sticking my head into its wheel well was an eye-opener. And the inside really was big enough to held a couple of tanks. The only caution I can offer is that on a sunny day, the tarmac offers very little shade. Well worth a couple of hours - longer if you’re an aviation fanatic.

This was my first visit to the museum and I found it delightful. One of the volunteers, Rich, gave me a very informative tour. We spent most of our time outdoors checking out the planes on the tarmac and he gave me a much greater appreciation for cargo and refueling aircraft. He also did a great job expounding on the D-Day history of the museum’s C-47 indoors. I didn’t have time to see every exhibit, but definitely will return.

This museum is a gem! There is a ton of history to learn and see, and the staff are fantastic. The day we were there, there were several guides who took our family through the details of the various airplanes stationed at the museum. All of these wonderful vets worked in mobility command, so it was awesome to hear their stories of loading and flying these amazing aircraft. The museum is en route to the delaware and maryland beaches, so we go every year on your way back from the beach. Highly recommended!

We had a wonderful visit to the museum on 2/1/2025. We had a fantastic tour guide, Stan Peters. He was knowledgeable, personably, and friendly. He made the visit, which was amazing into itself, even better. The museum is packed with planes, inside and outside, artifacts, displays, and simulators. You can do a quick visit (1-2 hours) or much longer. Highly recommend and ask for Stan Peters!

We had a lot of fun here, lots to see. It was great walking around, under and through the exhibits. The staff volunteers were friendly and loved explaining the history of the museum and their personal experiences. Nicely organized museum and a great gift shop!

Mr. Pat Bucco gave my family and I a wonderful tour! He was highly knowledgeable and very interactive with all participants of the group. It did get pretty warm out on the aircraft so I suggest people dress for the weather and bring a bottle of water! (They do sell water in the gift shop for a reasonable price)
