WAAAM has one of the most extensive collections of restored flyable antique aircraft I have seen along with a great collection of antique and classic autos. Kinda pricey but well worth it. More

We actually visited the Evergreen Air & Space Museum in McMinville, OR (two hours east of here) the day before..so we had a great reference. Like the title says, this is a hidden gem of a museum and something you wouldn't really expect to see in a small town like Hood River. We got lucky and visited on the 2nd... More

This place was amazing. Lots and lots of antique cars, airplanes, motorcycles and more in two huge halls. What a piece of history! The kids loved it too, and had lots of fun in the kids corner. The staff is very friendly and happy to answer all your questions. We would definitely come again. More

This museum, located far from any busy metro area, is well worth the drive to Mt Hood. With the exception of one or two exhibits undergoing restoration, every plane and car here, plus motorcycles and a tractor or two, are fully functional. On the "2nd Saturday" of every month (weather permitting) the museum volunteers take the exhibits outside, start them... More
