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

A phenomenal museum for anyone interested in the history of flight itself and the military aircraft's role in our past/present/future .

Lots of cool stuff. Exhibits have been the same for years, so feels stale if you have been there more than once. Older staff/volunteers do not deal with children very well.

Awesome time we learned and saw so may historical things, we got to go into several types of planes.

Unbelievable, I could easily spend a full day here, my family and I thoroughly enjoyed ourselves, it's incredible to stand in front of some of the most famous aircraft in history, and to see aircraft like the stealth bombers in person, and then on top of that the staff are incredibly helpful, friendly, and knowledgable, one gentleman approached us to educate my family and I on one of the new transport planes, it turns out he was a pilot on one as well as flew a voodoo up to twice the height of commercial aircrafts cruising altitude, what a great moment to speak to someone who's been there and done that.

Highly recommend, I would plan on spending a full day possibly two to fully see and enjoy it all. Food was over priced and bland, I would suggest packing a lunch and having a picnic weather permitting.

Free admission. Hundred's of planes and more history then you can imagine. Everyone should visit at least once.

I love this amazing museum i loved going here when i lived in columbus and when ever i visit ohio i go to that museum

Very educational and interesting. Divided into Wars, etc. Could spend several hours or a couple days here!

Need easier ways to exit when all the way at the end of the museum with tired/cranky children... but still a fun day trip!

A lot of history. Who works, or has hobby, in history, engineering or flight will appreciate it.

You need more than one day to see it all. I barely got through the modern era the space gallery and the Cold War in one day. And they are expanding! Stay close by and take at least two days!

Amazing museum of it's kind. A must see for all Americans.

I had an amazing time. It is divided by time periods in history. They must have every type of aircraft ever created. If you like airplanes you must visit .

If you are into military, planes, jets, rockets, this is a must. Place is enormous, plan on spending the day if you are really into it. You could get out in a couple hours, but you'll miss so much.

Awesome, I recommend going early because it is huge & if you enjoy everything it takes a while.

Great place to go visit and just spent time with your family. This museum is a must SEE especially if youre into military history and trust me youll never be disappointed.. But the best part is free admission.

Always an amazing visit. Free guided tours make the history of military aviation come alive. Well stocked gift shop lets you take part of that history home.

Free admission great exhibits and a great day trip for the family. It's so big you could probably go two days and still see or learn something new!

Amazing museum full of lots of great history. Well designed.

Amazing place, saw the Memphis Belle!!! Also had a memorial in picnic area dedicated to the unit I was in.

The National Museum of the US Air Force is by far one of my favorite places to spend time when I'm in Ohio. With historic displays dating back before the Wright brothers and new technology like the Reaper hanging on display, there's more than enough to see and learn than anyone could really appreciate in a day. I've come back year after year and still find something new (or old) to love.

Really neat exhibits about World War 1 and 2, Vietnam War, Cold War, Modern day planes and even a Holocaust exhibit. Nice food at the cafe upstairs and a huge gift shop with tons of cool items. relatively cheap price for what you get to see, you get to go inside a couple of the planes and there is multiple cockpits you get to sit inside with all the buttons and everything. Fun for all ages

Excellent place for adults and kids. Highly recommend.

This is an awesome place for ALL ages! It's free and fun!

This place is awesome, although I a huge fan of planes. I went to visit 3 separate times while in Ohio to see everything. Very big, the volunteers are so sweet and helpful, I enjoyed the movies. They have a really cool space exhibit and flight simulators as well. They had an air show the last day I went. I really enjoyed it. Free to park and free to get in! Don't miss out, check it out!

Well worth the visit! Tour guides are excellent! Plan to spend the whole day here. I don't even care about planes but when you wall around the corner and see the ACTUAL Memphis Belle, it's hard not to be a fan. Again, can't say enough about the fantastic tour guides. They really made the experience so much better

Great place , so much information about Air Force and planes.

Huge Museum and lots of great information and displays.. Could spend lots of time here!

A completely free experience, and a lot to look at. A great place for people of all ages, and the volunteers there are very friendly and knowledgeable.

First time back there in about a decade. I was blown away. For anyone who loves military or aviation history, this the place to go. Every aircraft there has some sort of historical significance. If you REALLY want to see everything, take two full days to see it. There is a hotel right across the road that s very convenient

First off its amazing all generations enjoy going and its FREE ADMISSION. The only thing u pay for is gift shop items and refreshments or the 3d ride.

My favorite area is going to the air planes u get to walk through its really amazing to see how technology has changed and learn about the history of our military forces. I love it.

HIGHLY RECOMMEND

Amazing place worth going even if not a huge aviation fan.

This place is one of the places I dreamed of taking my son, even before he was born. I dreamed of carrying him on my shoulders, looking at the planes.

If you enjoy the National Air and Space Museum, you will love the Air Force Museum. Like the old Aberdeen Proving Grounds Ordinances Museum had about all the artillery, the Air Force museum has all the aircraft. Biplanes to ICBMs to towed targets.

There's excellent choices for where to eat, and where to sleep. Not that all are even acceptable (local Days Inn, roach motel).

If you have ever looked up into the sky with awe, and definitely if you have ever held a cyclic, collective, yoke, stick, or aircraft throttle this museum is a must see. The collection of former Air Force One aircraft is incredible. The spaceflight collection is a priceless part of our national and planetary heritage. The vintage warplanes can teach many future generations about the hard work required to preserve peace and security.

if my grandson doesn't go once a month he goes through withdrawal

This museum is top notch! Amazing displays with a vast amount of information. You need an entire day to visit.

Absolutely amazing experience! Awesome to see all the history this place holds inside!

Very nice museum. Can't believe it's free. Being retired Air Force, was very interesting.

The only reason I didn't give 5 stars is because I want MORE! Have some more "hands on" displays for the kiddos, heck partner with COSI and have some little science and technology play areas. Land around it seems like the hood so should be pretty cheap for some investors to come in and renovate the area. This would be an awesome tourist destination if the area around it had more to offer. How about a airforce theme/water park? Like a mini Kings Island. Or an airforce themed dave and busters type establishment? I can see shops and hotels, unique ohio and Dayton produced products, restaurants, bars, a theater. Make this a weekend destination not just a daytrip for locals. We need more stuff to do here in Ohio! The Airforce Museum could be the unique corner stone needed to really build up the area. Plus great Highway access off a busy cross-country highway I-70.

Lots to see here. The new interactive D-Day exhibit is very interesting!

Recommend this place to any history enthusiast or plane enthusiast!

Very friendly staff and a great place for the whole family to learn about history

I have been here over the years too many times to count! Include this on your next mini-trip, or even your next cross-country vacation -- it's FREE and a great way to fully appreciate all that manned flight has done for us and for the world.

Great Great Place to be there. Every flight enthusiast in the world must visit the National Museum of the US Airforce.

This Museum showcases warplanes as of their time of service, starting from the very beginning. The area is divided on the basis of era like initial days of flight, WW1 era, WW2, Cold War era and modern days planes.

There are fighter planes, bombers , very few choppers , latest UAVs are at display. Small section is dedicated to space exploration.

I would recommend to take good camera with you. There are attractions for kids.

Souvenirs are beautiful but some are quite expensive. But don t forget to grab some.

Great place to visit to learn about our history and to see it as well.

This is by far the best aerospace museum in the us. There are more exhibits and real airplanes than anywhere else I have ever seen. It's better than the one at Washington DC. No others come close

Great free museum, the docents are awesome, and there's a lot of history that can be garnered here.

Truly amazing and awe inspiring the history is amazin!!!

Make sure you look at the planes outside you won't be disappointed

Fun time for Arial enthusiasts. Plenty of aircraft to see and fun to follow a line of progression to see how air travel has evolved.

Huge collection of aircraft from the Wright Brothers to the current time. They recently added several US President's Air Force 1 aircraft that you go into. There is no admission fee.

If I could add stars I would add alot more.
Very great time , suggest getting there when they open and start from last building 4 and work back to front.

Lots of aircraft and lots of information and free entry! Will take over 4 hours to ingest all the information.

If you're into aerospace, you can't miss this place. So much cool stuff I can't even begin to list it all. If you think museums are boring, this one will change your mind. Well worth the trip from NY

A great museum with a ton of cool aircraft! A must go!

I love looking at the one and only XB-70 Valkyrie. A true flying machine.

If you haven't been you don't know what you're missing

Incredible for a free museum! So much knowledge to gain and it's absolutely giant! Everything is kept up so well, the staff are very friendly and all in all it's a great place to go any time of the year.

USAF planes and jets.....A feast for the eyes.....a must see... Need a full day... Anything less and you will miss quite a few interesting exhibits...

Always a great place to visit. Could easily be a two day experience if you absorb everything that is available.

One of the best aviation museums in the country. The staff is friendly and very knowledgeable. Could easily spend 2 days looking at the amazing collection of aircraft.

Absolutely a fantastic place to visit. The Museum is so large you need the whole day to see it. It took me a day and a half because I wanted to see the D Day services. You will be amazed at the size of the aircraft inside. There was a B-52, a space shuttle, retired Air Force Ones, not to mention all the Fighter aircraft. It is a must see Museum.

If you love airplanes, there is no better museum, period. The collection is mind-boggling, and features what seems like every US military airplane ever flown (OK, not every cargo plane, but you get the idea...) They also have a nice display and monument honoring the Berlin Airlift. It's definitely worth the trip.

Visited the Memphis Belle exhibit. Simply awesome! A must-see for anyone who likes aviation history or WWII.

Great day! This has to be the best display of aircraft and history in the world, no joke.

For the Avgeeks this place is like a religious pilgrimage - I have made the trek from the east coast 3 times now and its like a kid at Christmas... This past June, I spent 3 full 9-5 days shooting over 4100 pictures with a fellow avgeek and we are already planning our return!
