What visitors say
Love this place! MOST of the staff (not the younger ones) are pretty friendly and helpful. Loved the gift shop but couldn't afford anything in it. We used the flight simulator and found all of the displays to be informative, well done,…
Great place for adults and kids. They have toured option. You pay for or untoured.I took the untoured, I visited for about four and a half hours. Interactive exhibits.
The Space Gallery was one of the best parts of the museum of flight. As he was able to do the experiments and try to land in the simulator. Amazing experience for children.
