If you enjoy aviation this is a must see! The museum has great content, which you could spend at least 2 days exploring. They offer little tours throughout the day where you get to speak with retired pilots as well. The volunteers and staff are really enthusiastic about the museum, which contributes to the overall experience!
Such an awesome display of worldwide aviation history! Everyone should come here at least once in their life! Highly recommend the Aviation Gallery!
I spent almost 5 hours here. There is so much to see. I loved being able to go inside some of the airplanes like my favorite 747. Also watching from the pretend control tower the planes taking off and landing was cool. There were some Boeing test jets that landed. I took an Uber from my hotel in Belltown. It cost about $33.
This place was awesome. The staff are very helpful and friendly. The exhibits were very well kept. Many photos were taken. My favorite spots were the SR-71 Blackbird in the main area and the P-51 Mustang in the WWII area.
I've been to plenty Air & Space museums and The Museum of Flight ranks right up there. Definitely worth a visit! For me the highlight was the Aviation Pavilion with the first ever 747 test mule, Concorde SST, Air Force 1 plane that brought JFK to Vienna for a meeting with Khrushchev. A wide body 787 Dreamliner, B-17 Flying Fortress and B-29 Superfortress. All the jets were open for review. The other exhibits were also worthwhile. You could easily spend an afternoon here.
Always a great place to come. This was our second visit as we missed some of the museum last time. Lots of history and things to educate but also inspire kids. Also great fun for parents too.
Such an awesome place to visit, I'm so going back. You can definitely spend the whole day there. Volunteers were very knowledgeable about the planes and history. My favorite part to see was the replica plane built by the Wright Brothers and the lunar rock from the moon!
Incredible collection of air and spacecraft. The docents are all very knowledgeable. Spoke to one gentleman on the 747 who actually worked ON the construction of that aircraft. What a treasure. Will have to visit again so I can make sure I didn't miss anything!
This is by far the best Museum I ve visited in Seattle. There are many exhibits that range from the rocker shuttles, to airplane models, to different planes used by many countries during different war times and eras. There are certain airplane models you can enter and even sit!! Many bird eye view positions so you can take a picture of most planes. There are also flight simulators which you have to pay. Definitely worth the visit and a 5 star hands down.
This place is fantastic you can spend two hours or spend a day and a half here very clean, great knowledgeable staff and great exhibits. Thanks for some good memories!!!
