This place will take longer to explore than you expect. There are so many planes here! Many have been painstakingly restored. Lots of good information about each plane's purpose and vintage. Worth checking out, especially if you are in the area on a rainy day. Consider visiting the nearby lighthouse, even though there is an admission for that.

If you or your children like history, or flight this is the place for you! Even if you don't care for either, I think you would still like this place. It's great fun full of information and cool stuff. There is also an Imax theater inside and you can see a show pretty regularly. There are flight simulators and all...

WOW a great Museum to see. Take the kids they will learn a lot. This is one of the best museums I've been to. Lots of history here. They even had Veterans there telling their stories.

No greater amount of Naval History there here. As the birthplace of Naval Aviation nothing can compare. Plan on at least 5 hours including the Imax shows.

We recently visited the museum for the second time and it appears they've added some things since we last visited. It's a wonderful way to spend a day, learning history. Plenty of activities for kids, and it's free.

We had the privilege of attending my sons winging this spring and while there got to go to some great spots in Pensacola. The Air Museum was tremendous! It is family friendly, free and fabulous. The volunteers that tour and tell the stories of the birds, personalities that flew those planes are pro's! You can truly not see it all...

I loved that it was so well displayed. I took over 200 photos while we were there and there was so much information. The planes are positioned so that you can walk around them and look inside or they are hung up and you can see underneath them. I loved the old set up like the tiki bar up stairs...

My mom and aunt really loved it. We were there three hours and did not get to see it all. First visit and want to come back to bring the rest of the grand kids.

This is sort of a guy thing, so free is just perfect. Tons to see. Sorry about the budget cuts to the Blue Angels, but it says they come on Wednesdays to meet & greet. There are volunteers that offer tours along with first hand stories
