What a neat place. Where else can you tour a Concorde, former Air Force One and sit in a SR-71 cockpit? Really well designed museum with great exhibits. When they get the space shuttle trainer this summer, the museum will be busy but have some of the most unique aircraft anywhere. Take the time to go to this or to... More

Plan at least 3 hours for a visit. Concorde is nice. Airforce One is less than you can expect from it. Nice area for kids to make and experience parachutes. More

We've been members off and on for eight years. My daughter was indifferent to it for the most part, but my son loves it. He has finally gotten to the age when he is interested in things that go, and he loves to ride up and down the glass elevator. More

My husband and I went here because we had just a little extra time before we had to be at the airport. Oh man, we were so pleasantly surprised! The museum is great for kids but also has so much information about the history of flight, about flight during times of war, flight into space, and corporate jets. They even... More

This is a stellar facility, with stuff you just don't see anywhere else except the smithsonian. They had a Blackbird too, just like the X-men use! Also, if you can't make it to the Intrepid in NYC you can see a Concorde. I had a blast, I'd go back again since it is packed with information, the gift shop was... More

I am a pilot and airlpane-lover. I've been to aviation museums all over the country. This one is one of the best. I keep going back to see it again and again. More
