U.S. Air Force U.S. Air Force Review

Great volunteer staff.. very knowledgable. We went on a great tour that was absolutely free, as is most everything here. This is just an astounding collection of military aircraft, spacecraft, and historic memorabilia. This place is huge and among the newest additions are every Air Force One plane ever in service excepting those in current use. Amazing that general admission has remained free to the public for as long as I can remember.

Beautiful aircrafts and fighter jets .... definitely a place to visit once !

Must see for anyone in the Dayton. Aviation history comes alive. Allow sufficient time at least 4 hours. Free admission.

This is the best airplane museum I have ever been to... and it's free! Give yourselves plenty of time to see this place. In my opinion you need 3 to 4 hours to properly see all the airplanes. You could rush through it in 2. My apologies for the poor lighting on my camera. It's a bit dark in there. Plan on doing a lot of walking as well.

Really great place to go. The best space exhibit i have ever seen inside a building. When you walk into the larger hangers you head spins with the size of the planes and UAV's im the building. Best to go during the week to avoid the crowds and a quieter time.

Fantastic display of USAF aircraft through the history of flight

Unbelievable presentation of aircraft and missles, bombs. Admission is free.

Absolutely epic! You will see one of a kind planes, including the fastest jet ever built. They also have two Lockheed SR-71 blackbirds! They already sold me on one, two is just rediculous.

One of the greatest aviation museums in the world. It is also free. Speak to the volunteers, as they have in depth knowledge of many of the flight vehicles.

Great place, a lot of history and the planes are in good shape! Also it's very cheap!

Awesome museum. Lots of cool planes and great learning.

Definately a must see if you're even a little into aviation. A comprehensive collection of military aviation, from the early ages to the modern age. You can also see on display former Air Force One airplanes, not only you can see them, but you can take a walk inside.

Wow. All I can say is wow. Way bigger than I expected, lot of history. High quality. Free to get in. Extensive gift shop. Plan to spend the whole day. Amazing.

We loved taking our girlscout troop here. The guides were very friendly and helpful. We will be visiting again! Thank you!

Always have a great time with me and all the family go an the staff is always kind if you are new to Dayton Ohio you should go an have a good time looking at history

World's best aviation museum! Aircraft from the Wright brothers to today. Free.

Spectacular facility. Soo much history and soo little time. All of the exhibits are done with excellence. The flight simulator was fun. I look forward to the next visit.

Best overall aviation museum in the world IMO (and I've visited many). In some ways it even tops the Smithsonian. Must see...

I especially loved the presidential aircraft gallery

So many collection of Aircraft and all at one place. Amazing. Excellent effort and hardwork should have been done behind the scenes.

One great museum! From the beginning of flight to space flight. There are multiple hangars full of planes. There are more planes here then you could imagine. You can sit in cockpits or walk through air Force one. There are two cafes you can eat at although they are a little pricey. Then again admission is free to get into the museum. They also have a nice gift shop. Great museum!

Very interesting to see how aircraft has changed throughout the years.

Sweet, little one visited all his favorites and had a blast. Great atmosphere, great people, great aircraft and exhibits. Need to go back again.

Its ia really great has a lot of facts about planes and and a lot of planes and the workers are really good and nice and will come to you and tell you facts about the planes

Amazing collection of the famous, along with some rare, aircraft from the first days to today.

There are four VERY large buildings, capable of displaying the largest of planes. Each building holds various craft from different eras, including the early years of flight, to the world wars, conflicts, and modern day. You'll find vast collections of the stories surrounding the men, women and equipment that made history.

There are tour guides available, as we as self-guided tours. You have the opportunity to walk inside several types of craft, plus see various videos of actual events.

Longer movies and simulation rides are available for a nominal charge. But otherwise, admission is free to the public.

You can easily spent the whole day here and still not see everything. Friendly curators will help if you are looking for anything specific.

Penny-press aficionados, there are at least 3 hand-crank machines in the gift shop with 4 individual styles per each.

This place is a MUST SEE!!!

So much to see and do. Plan to spend the entire day, it's big and is a lot of walking but you won't want to miss any of it. I suggest starting with the 4th building (all the way in the back and work your way forward) there are lots of planes that you can walk through including a number of the presidential aircraft the space shuttle trainer (it's a full size model of the space shuttle which you can walk through which gives you a much better appreciation for it's massive size).

There is food onsite, it's a little pricy but if you're visiting in the warmer months, there's lots of outdoor space for a picnic.

If you aren't up for all that walking they have wheelchairs and scooters for those that need them. If you need a break they also have very neat movies in their theatre.

Lots of planes Great museum and a lot too read.....In other words it's pretty cool!

It was educational and fun. I enjoyed my self. There is a lot of walking, so keep that in mind.

It was fascinating!! I am a proud army wife and I loved every second... great displays and stories... brought back memories of when we were in Germany when the wall came down! What a wonderful tribute to the AF and all military!! GOD BLESS AMERICA!!

We love going to the Air Force Museum. We have 5 kids and love that we can show them interesting history with STEM interactive activities as well. And Free is always a nice price.

A MUST SEE WHILE IN DAYTON
#AMERICANSTRONG

Have visited here since I was around 8 years old. Now 62 yrs old and still love coming to check out the history of aviation. It holds a special place in my heart and brings back great memories

Amazing experience.. you need to have minimum 4 hrs to go thru huge and very educational museum.

Comprehensive collection, free self paced or guided tours

Every couple of years I try to make it here, due to growing up loving space exploration and being in AFJROTC for 2 years. It has ruined me from other air museums. It's free and has a great collection, so what's not to love?

This museum is a great place for people of all ages to visit. There is so much to see!

World's largest collection, and history, of aviation in the world. About 1 million square feet under roof beginning with the pioneers of aviation from every country though the development of powered flight to every major event in history where flight was involved. This one location housed at Wright Patterson Air Force base on the eastern fringe of Dayton Ohio is a must see for anyone who has ever looked up in the sky and seen man flying .....

A little irritating that they don't let you bring outside drinks in. I had to argue with them over my 2 year old niece's sippy cup. Other than that, this is a really cool place with a lot of interesting historical planes. It is super educational and a fantastic place to take kids.

Great free museum, I would focus on the last section which has the cool latest technology and presidential planes that you can go inside

We purposely didn't attempt to see it in one stop, very enjoyable that way, you really get to enjoy the effort put into this museum. I recommend for all ages.

This is an exceptional collection of aviation history in fact it was far more impressive that the Smithsonian air and space in the capital plaza in DC. They recently added the Memphis Belle and it is in good company with scores of one of kind iconic aircraft along with a large collection of incredible experimental craft. The size of the exhibits are truly impressive and well organized. I would set aside a couple of days if you want to see to do it justice. I will be back again as they continue to add to the collection. Highly recommended.

It is always a great experience visiting the Museum of the US Air Force. I make it a point to visit there every 4 to 6 years and am never disappointed It also helps being only 3 hours away too. .

The museum is phenomenal and an awe-inspiring tribute to military aviation. Better than the Smithsonian Air and Space museum!

must see museum!! defiantly worth the trip!!
also, free admission & parking!!

Had a wonderful time. My 2 1/2 year old grandson was in awe. Everything is clean and well organized. Plan to go again in the fall.

This place is amazing! So many cool and rare aircraft everywhere! If you want to see everything, you'll need more than one day. My wife and I spent a total of about 12 hours in the museum over two days, and saw almost all the aircraft on display indoors. We didn't even get to the outdoor section, and barely had time to glance at all the interesting pieces of support equipment, uniforms, historical artifacts, etc. We're definitely planning to go back!

AWESOME!!!
Love the place!!!

It was the first time visiting the museum and I thought it was excellent. It's very big so make sure you have ur walking shoes ready your gonna need them.

Second time here and it is great. The history here is awesome.

This magnificent museum provides a walk through the entire history of Air Force aviation and is absolutely a national treasure!

Volunteers are very friendly, helpful and k very knowledgable. Lots of history we should never forget.

Large air museum with a variety of aircraft's. You can easily spend the entire day there.

This place is beautiful and informative, if you love planes. But it has alot of planes and history about air force. Air force 1 this there and you get to walk thought the plane and some other planes also the space ship. Now for kids they have a couple of jets they can seat in the seat and act like they are flying, also a vital simulation game like there are flying different type of planes.

Wonderful facility, free parking and admission! Highly recommended!!

Everything from the Wright brothers to the space shuttle. And it's free

Have been here dozens of times. Best thing about Dayton!

It's a wonderful place to learn about planes, history, and spacecrafts. Best of all, it's free! It can get a little crowded, but if you are a fan of airplanes, you won't be disappointed. It also has many guided tours, school programs, and more!

Excellent facility, but more than you can reasonably experience in one day. Make sure to establish multiple trips.

It's Free! If you love airplanes and history this is the place for you. It has a couple places to eat inside , also some flight simulators that cost around $10, and awesome gift shop and a 3D movie theater that also cost extra but it is literally 4 huge airplane hangers crammed with awesomeness.
