My career is in airplanes so I am very biased. Fun place that has really historic planes. It can be a little boring at times and is not comparable to the big museums (i.e. National Air and Space Museum) in terms of number of exhibits.

This is perhaps a small museum to look at on the inside and you might think this place isn't worth the $10....but you'd be wrong. Half the attractions are outside and you can get quite hands-on. ask about the old planes such as the DC3 and the hangers opposite the outdoor exhibs....I personally walked around the place, but in the...

Attended Sun 'n Fun, nicely run. Paradise City in a good location this year. Didn't camp, but those areas looked nice. Beer kind of expensive at the Sunset Grill but still a nice place to hang out after the show!

This is a great little museum. The volunteers are every knowledgeable and friendly. Sun n fun is a week long fly in every March that is fantastic. There are daytime and night air shows with mike Gulian , crazy horse, the black diamonds and aero shell to name a few, some years the thunderbirds or blue angels. If you are... More

You guys don't realise just what an amazing event this is - or maybe you do. I would have expected more excellent ratngs though. I didn't manage to get to the museum because I spent the whole of yesterday on the airfield looking at amazing flying machines. Luckily I was with two pilots (very lucky indeed) who could give me...

The best thing to do is make this part of your overall trip to Sun-n-fun.org Great airplane drive in fly in camp and convention. Forums, air shows, exhibitors, vendors, you name it. Volunteer to do a little work, which are all fun jobs and you can spend the week here for FREE! What could be better? A week in Lakeland... More

You will like this place, and if you go during Sun & Fun in April you will love the air show. The precision air team, Black Diamonds, I think, put on an excellent show. Wing tips almost to the ground.

There is nothing like a bunch of airplanes to peak the interest of young and young at heart. A nice selection of aircraft. TIP: go during the Sun N Fun air show every spring for non stop action. Check the web for dates each year.
