Great place, very interesting! Only suggestion I have is to add more interactive items. Add a few more of those wax figures in places like the presidential planes and more places you re able to actually sit and experience things. Overall I would certainly go back!
The place to visit this weekend (Memorial Day Weekend), It was really cool.
If you have even a passing interest in aviation, military history, or aviation techhnology-this is a must do on your list. Just an amazing collection of American, allies, and enemy aircraft. You could easily spend a day in here. I sadly only had two hours so I focused on WWII, Cold War, Vietnam, and Desert Storm-Enduring Freedom era exhibits.
Must see place and very knowledgeable for air history
So much to see! So much history! My kids all enjoy planes.
Been coming here for years and there's always something else to see that I didn't catch the hundreds of times before. Cannot recommend more!!
Awesome museum very educational and inspiring everyone should see
There's so much to see and read that it would take a few days to get through it all. They have such a huge showcase of planes and historical aeronautical memorabilia. Before today, I hadn't been in many years, but from what I do remember - it's gotten bigger and better. Admission is free, but donations go towards the cause of maintaining everything. I highly recommend going; not only for yourself, but for kids who are interested in learning about aviation history as well as some military history. If nothing else, they have an awesome gift shop to find all sorts of cool military/plane/history things.
So many things to see. So much history. A very large museum that is a must for any aviation enthusiast to see.
This is probably the very best air museum in the world. So much to see and only if your body can walk so long. 2 electric car chargers available in the parking lot.
This is my 3 year old daughters favorite place. She loves all the engines and wax characters in addition to all the great content. Got to try the virtual reality or simulators.
Great museum covering history of aviation. The guided tours (free) are definitely worth doing if your schedule permits.
Always a learning experience. A great way for a Daytonian to spend an afternoon. The food at the small cafe is not very good. Hot dogs were awful. The prices are to high for the low quality food. I may try the other restaurant.
Great place to view the history of flight. Great for all ages, and bonus, it's free!
Awesome experience, take time to talk to the vets, they have some wonderful stories to share. VR flight simulators are a blast.
YOU MUST EXPERIENCE THIS PLACE! It is free as in no admission charge. Among the MANY things to see are the "Air Force One's" of FDR, Truman, Eisenhower, JFK & LBJ (for the uniformed they were all United States Presidents) But wait there's more. You can go in these planes for a self guided tour/walk through.
Fabulous place for aerospace enthusiasts...can spend the whole day and still crave for more.
Absolute must see. I take kids every year at Dayton hamfest
On Fridays they let you into the restoration area to see the aircraft that they are currently in the process of restoring. If you get a chance to visit this museum do so it's outstanding
Excellent facilities. I recommend starting early so you can see it all...I mean there is so much interesting stuff you still probably won't have enough time. Plus they got high quality documentaries in their theater to put everything in context... it's great
They are handling the covid rules hear very well sad to see some things shut down but I understand took my son hear for the first time and he loved it parents make them walk the whole thing I bet they will be passed out ten minutes after you leave
A great national treasure. It's free, there are planes from the first Wright Flyer to supersonic jets.
What a beautiful place to attend. It is a great way to educate your children. It is free and the volunteers are very nice.
Loved This place! If you like history, aircraft, or nostalgia you will have a great time. Do the simulators, they are great! Also, stay at Comfort Suits; we could see the museum from our window.
Love this place, but some of the layout is a little weird.
I love this place but the event tonight was insane!! Too many people.
Don't miss the early flying and presidential and Nasa galaries.
Wow!!!!! This place was GREAT. Saw it in 4 hours. You definitly need about 6 to 8 hours to really enjoy it. I hope I come back here again.
Best place for a history lesson and very thankful we have the bell here in Ohio
Phenomenal place to brush up on history. Highly suggest spending multiple days at the museum because the displays are all fantastic.
The four hangars are completely full of planes - there are so many neat planes to look at from all eras of aviation, and they rotate some displays regularly so there's always something new.
Love this museum. It can get very packed on the weekends or when there are special events so keep that in mind but overall it's still worth a visit. They usually add new things here and there. The kids love it and learning the history behind each plane is awesome.
Awesome museum. Lots of great aircraft here. You can easily spend a day here without looking at the same stuff over and over. Best of all, it is free to get in!
Very dense and we'll setup the exhibition is very interesting
It was AWESOME! The simulators and the VR booth were incredible and even the cafeteria food was top notch.
Huge collection of aircraft, from the early days to today. Well worth the admission price. Oh, it's FREE! Bonus! Wear comfortable shoes, there's a lot of walking
Wonderful place. Truly something for everyone. We had a great time
Always a great place for any aviation buff. You can't beat the free price. The Imax movies are great
Amazing and more than you would expect! This place is world class and has incredible and unique exhibits that will blow one away. Absolutely a must visit!!
Real cool museums of Aeronautics history staffing needs to be a little bit further educated they go by a book and by common knowledge real cool static displays the icing on the cake the B-29 boxcar is there the second Atomic bomber
Excellent museum, with a lot of exhibits. The extensive collection contains many rare aircraft of historical or technological importance. You can see a B2 bomber, and from the WWII, the Bockscar the Boeing B-29 Superfortress that dropped the Fat Man atomic bomb on Nagasaki. The Airforce One that took JFK to Dallas on 22 November 1963 the day of the President's assassination., the same that Vice President Johnson was sworn in as president aboard it after the assassination. A V1 replica. Very cool and informative. It takes a good 4-5 hours to walk the five hangars.
Awesome place! Took our 4yr old and she loved it!!! So Many awesome exhibits!
Great place with a large amount of planes from different times. Only complaint is that you have to walk all the way back to the beginning to leave
Nowhere else will you see this much aviation history. Absolutely amazing!
One of our favorite places to visit in Ohio. Great museum with lots to offer.
Great place. Very informative. Lots of walking but wheelchairs are available. The staff and volunteers were very nice, helpful and knowledgeable. One suggestion is maybe you can have a shuttle bus, to drive up to the unloading zone and back to the parking lot especially for the ones who are handicapped or have a hard time walking.
Free. Fun. Nice atmosphere. My 4 yr old love it. Alot. No nap style.
Lot of history and very well organized establishement
Really great museum. Make sure you wear your walking shoes because this place is huge! We spent the whole day going through it. Tons of history and it was really cool to be able to walk through some of the old airforce one planes on display.
Great place to visit if you are in to history. If you want to teach your kids about military anfld the different time periods this is the place to be. Every major war is represented in the different hangars. The admission is by donation, so it is not an expensive place to visit.
Great to see the restored Memphis Belle unveiled. Visit often and always find something I've missed on a prior visit. Did I mention free admission?
Absolutely fantastic. Probably the best museum I can remember going to. I was on a work trip in Cincinnati and unfortunately had only about 90 minutes however it was completely worth the hour drive to get to and I would definitely go back and spend an entire day here given the opportunity. Highly recommended for anyone with even a mild interesting in aviation or history. Truly an amazing experience.
Absolutely love bringing family members here we take a yearly trip
One of my favorite places to visit. Amazing place to see history and experience the impact of airplanes over the years.
A national treasure. All types of planes from all areas. This place is enormous. Free admission. They do have some pretty cool IMAX shows. Tons of volunteers to answer questions and a neat gift shop. Definitely worth a stop if you're anywhere near Dayton Ohio!
Awesome; Dayton is the first in flight and only fitting that it has the nation's largest air Force Museum
Beautiful collection and extremely knowledgeable people! Thank you
As an aviation geek this place had always been on my bucket list, but I'm not sure even I was prepared for the sheer scale of museum and its exhibits. If you're into aviation this is a must see.
Absolutely wonderful. You really need at least two days to see this Museum.
Largest museum of air force in North America. It s takes a whole day to see the museum thoroughly and understand the aviation history from early years of aircraft birth , world war 1 , world war2, Cold War, presidential aircrafts, missiles and research and development projects like saucer, Apollo 15. You can walk through multiple aircrafts, they have guided tours for each section. Best part is it s free. It s busy on weekend but still quite huge area and high population visits it. Recommended for all ages.
Love this place. They have so many different aircrafts and the history behind them. You could spend hours there.
An amazing collection of aircraft and spacecraft! Thoroughly enjoyed myself
Insane that this place is free. The lineup of planes is nothing short of phenomenal.
This place is great can you imagine walking into a room / hanger and seeing all things that has had an impact on every corner of the globe from minute men rockets to jfk's plane you get it here
