Take the time to visit even if you are not an aviation buff. Not a big place, but lots of cool stuff to look at.

Went over Spring Break, I was surprised that there were not more people. This museum discusses the history of commercials flights in the US from the American Airlines POV. It's pretty well laid out, and easy to follow in sequential order. Very nice volunteers will assist you. The gem is the airplane that you can get on and poke around... More

There even is an actual airplane you can go inside. The Kids Really like the interaction and they even have a flight simulator. The Shop inside is quite nice and they have... More

I guess my expectations were too high for this museum. I thought they would do a better job of showing the history and evolution of AA in particular and the industry in general.

We went to this museum and were there for about 3 hours. The exhibits are fascinating and beautiful. There was so much to learn about the 100 years of aeronautical history. Anyone who love to fly and has an interest in aircraft over the last century will have a great time in this museum...........You will not be sorry you went!

I really enjoyed this museum. It took about an hour to go through, and was very informational. There are a lot of displays, and interactive stations. They have a 15 minute movie of the history of American Airlines which was nice. You board the 'flight' at the gate, walk down the jet bridge to the theater where the seats are... More
