Best kept secret in College Park!

This museum caters to all ages and all levels of aviation knowledge. Co-located with an active airport facility, check out the 2nd floor outdoor patio area to watch small plane ✈️ take-offs and landings. Plan to spend 1-2 hours, and make sure to hit the...More

Aviation Tour Guide Recommended!

I recently went here with my kids, and had a tour guide talk about the history of the museum and aviation. He was very informative, and I think you'd need a guide to be able to fully enjoy the artifacts. Tickets are inexpensive, and think...More

Great small museum

A trip to this small museum is well worth it. It's small but has a great collection of the first decade of flight, which started there. It is worth an hour or two of your time.

Nice small museum for the kid

We spent a little over an hour, but it was a nice visit. We got a Groupon that cost $6 for 2 adults and 2 children, which was a great deal. The animated Wright Brother was fun to see. The kids enjoyed making parachutes and...More

Hidden Gem

Wow, talk about a hidden gem! The only reason I knew about this museum was a colleague recommended it. It's tucked away from the main roads and is bursting with aviation history that will interest both kids and adults. It's not very big, so you...More

Great family day trip

If you have an interest in early aviation (or have a child who is interested), this affordable museum is for you! Affiliated with the Smithsonian, this museum and active airstrip has several full size airplane exhibits including a Jenny. They focus on the Wright brothers,...More

Surprising find

A surprisingly nice museum about the history of flight without the crowds at the Smithsonian. A quiet museum just beside the College Park Airport that has its own place in the history of flight. Several planes, flight simulators and more.

Great, relaxing way to spend an afternoon

Wonderful place for elementary age children; we had a toddler and there were some activities he could do as well. Price is extremely reasonable and staff very courtous and accomodating.
