If you're a local then you definitely know about this place. If you're from out of town or a visitor then you wanna see this place. We'll worth it. Be prepared to spend at least 3-4 hours checking this place out. But also be prepared for the heat and the weather. Take water, hat and sunscreen. Some people can walk around the grounds. But you can also take the tram. We took the tram and saved the walking. The tram is roughly 45 minutes. But has a lot of information about the jets, planes and other machinery that is also there. Definitely worth the visit. Side note: the food at the snack bar is decent. Don't expect restaurant style food it's a snack bar. Quick food, soft drinks, water and a cool place to sit and relax out of the heat. Enjoy.

FUN & EDUCATIONAL! GREAT WORKOUT! This place is massive! I was told there is a combined 80 acres of indoor and outdoor space dedicated to aircrafts and more. You see everything from helicopters, jets, single prop planes, medical transports, presidential planes, cargo planes, old military jeeps, memorabilia, insignia and tons more. There is a restaurant on site, plenty of opportunities for the restroom, tons of free water fountains scattered about, and even more seating in the form of benches, chairs, and picnic tables. I get the feeling the staff understand the amount of energy and time it takes to ingest all the information and view all the sites this museum has to offer. PRICE: The $18 charge (circa early 2022) came to be well worth it. I was there for over 3 hours and know I could have been there much longer if I was to read all the rhetoric available. FYI: They close early in the summer. My guess, it is way too hot and they probably have too many people experiencing heat stroke. SUGGESTIONS: (1) Arrive early (2) purchase the tram if you can afford it (3) save the entrance Hanger 1 for last because it is the last to close (4) come hydrated (5) Skip your gym routine the day of (6) Wear comfortable shoes (7) wear layered clothing as you will be indoor and outdoor and find yourself getting hot and cold. *Check out the map in my images

Great place to take the kids of all ages if you love anything to do with aviation! There are dozens and dozens of different types of planes and helicopters within the bounds of this museum. There is an inside museum that could take you all day if you wished, there is an air park to walk around in outside and they give guided tours to the bone yard across the street in a comfortable air conditioned bus with a great tour! Definitely worth the trip to keep these types of local museums alive!

This was my second time after a 15 year gap and not have they added a lot of aircraft! So much to see and explore. We spent five hours here and enjoyed every minute. The outside static displays cover 80 acres so we opted to see it on a hide tree for the extra $8, well worth it. It can be walked as well.

This place was fantastic! There were so many air planes and other vehicles to see! My son, who is 9 had a great time and was very pooped out by the end. There is a small restraint there with decent food and bathrooms strategically placed through. Which is good because the outside displays are in full sun and hot! We are here in early October.
