Best Warbird museum I have ever been to. Planes look like they just came of the assembly line and ready for war. Very nice theater with some great old footage and the B25 is the most impressive and original looking of all

We enjoyed this a lot. It was a bit expensive though considering the smaller number of displays. We got a AAA discount though.

We went here as a family with my 11 year old son and my parents. We had an excellent tour guide who was able to explain each exhibit in detail. The planes are beautifully restored and each one has a fascinating story. We were even able to go inside a couple of the planes. We learned a lot during this... More

Call ahead to get a time for the docents. Most of them know the planes very well and they will take you through the collection one by one. Check to see if Art Unrue (sp??) is working that day. He was waistgunner and has a lot to say about the performance characteristics of the german planes.

You don't need to be a pilot to enjoy the tour. Connect with a docent and listen to stories about each aircraft. Summer fly days include free air "fly bys" right over the top of you. Head over to Boeings "Future of Flight" at noon. Walk past the front desk and go up free to the Strato Deck and enjoy... More

While it's probably not great for kids, folks with an interest in airplanes will be enthralled. I've never seen such a collection of perfectly preserved and rare planes. Next to each plane (or tank or spaceship) you can find information about the type of plane and the role it played in history as well as the back story of the... More

The planes on display are well kept and have information posted about each. Take the time to watch the video presentations that are scattered throughout the viewing area; they are worth the time. It was a great experience and offers discount on admission such as military and AAA. Fun time.

I am by no means a plane enthusiast, but this place was fascinating! It wasn't too expensive (and they give military, Boeing, and AAA discounts), and the planes are interesting, but the real gems of this place aren't the planes, it's the docents! These guys know EVERYTHING. My WW2 plane-obssessed brother-in-law didn't ask a single question our docent, Norm, couldn't... More

The museum focuses heavily upon the aircraft of WW2 and the roles they played during that time. Each plane has a placard that tells you about that model as well as that particular plane's own history. The museum also has video monitors throughout, all giving you more insight into events surrounding the war.

First thing you'll notice is that it's $12 to get in and there aren't many more than a dozen planes to see. So, it's a bit pricey compared to the zoo or science center which are much, much, larger. But if you or or kids are dying to see a real P-51 mustang, Spitfire, and Fock-Wulf 190, then this could... More
