Visitor tip
Take advantage of the interactive and hands-on exhibits—you can touch many of the airplanes, sit in cockpits, and try flight simulators. This makes the museum engaging for all ages, so engage with these experiences rather than just viewing displays.
Best time
Visit even in rainy weather as the museum is primarily housed in the historic WWII hangar, making it a reliable indoor activity. The venue is specifically noted as a 'rain or shine' destination.
Best time
Arrive shortly after the 10am opening or visit on weekdays to potentially have a more enjoyable experience with fewer crowds, allowing better access to interactive exhibits and cockpit experiences.
