Great place to know all the airforce history. World war and early aircrafts are well displayed. Virtual reality tour is an amazing experience. Simulator rides are also a good experience.

I love the new Hanger! It's awesome to be able to go inside those planes and experience the history! The place is very clean and you get to take in so much history, it's an amazing experience, and it's free.

We were totally pleased to visit the museum on our way back to Canada. The museum was very well exhibited, well documented and really followed the history of flight from the beginning of flight to the moon and outer limits. Thoroughly enjoyed the time there

What a wonderful experience the National Air force Museum brings. A great place for families to spend time together. Also very affordable considering it is free to enter. They have a store where you can purchase souvenirs and they also take your photo when you first come in that with a small fee you can pick up at the end of journey. There are simulator rides for the whole family to enjoy. I would plan a whole day to really enjoy and embrace the history of the Museum.

When I lived in nearby Centerville, I took advantage of this Museum and visited several times every year. You can go to this place 10 times and you still won't be able to fully appreciate everything that's here. There's so much to see and so much history to absorb. Definitely don't miss the IMAX theater, as there are some great shows there.

Wonderful museum I have been to the museum twice and still have not seen every exhibit. Volunteers are retired veterans and very very kind and helpful.
Free mobility scooter's, so don't worry about grandparents walking the vast museum.

A great trip for anyone visiting from out off town, kids, adults and veterans. I've been numerous times living in the area and taking visitors and they always have new exhibits. An enormous variety of exhibits and a great lesson in history. The guided tours are fun and give you a deeper look into the background of what happened and what it was like this those who went through it.

I visited here 26 years ago and I loved it then too. This place has it all, with a robust variety of historic and modern aircraft, both on the floor and above. All of my favorite aircraft are here, as well as one of a kind aircraft. The staff are abundant and very helpful. The gift shop is chock full of great gifts for kids and adults alike. It's free to get in and free parking too, but I encourage a donation to help them keep the lights on.

Went on an outing with our department from work. Amazing. We came mid-day and went through all the hangers, but could've easily spent a whole day there. We didn't even do the IMAX movies which I hear are really good. The Presidential Gallery planes are so cool. Going through the WWII exhibits and the Iraq/Afghanistan exhibits were impactful for me. So crazy that all the advances in aviation have happened in 120 years. What an awesome museum. A must do for pretty much everyone. Plenty of restrooms throughout and also places to rest your feet. The place does have air conditioning although it works better in some hangers than others. There are 2 restaurants, food is average at best and expensive. There are restaurants nearby.

This is maybe the most eclectic group of military aircraft in America. Spanning from the Wright B flyer to space age and research and development. You can be there all day and not get through it all.

No matter how many times you tell the people you are bringing "this place is huge" or "theres enough to see to spend an entire day" they will he surprised. The guides/volunteers are super knowledgable too.

The National Museum of the United States Air Force is always a fun place to visit. I love the history that is showcased. It is a great place to visit with friends and family. It is also FREE!! I've enjoyed several shows in the theater as well.

Kids has a great time looking at the aircraft and learning about them, all the while learning about their great grandfather and his efforts and works regarding aircraft projects that he had worked on as an engineer after returning home from WW11. The VR was impressive and the kids thoroughly enjoyed it. The only downside is the prices at the cafe's. It's pretty much highway robbery; for example a 20 oz bottle of Mt. Dew was over 3 dollars. Take a second mortgage out or rack up a credit card is my suggestion for lunch or just plain old cash if you have it.

Absolutely incredible aviation museum. The collection rivals, if not betters, the Smithsonian Air & Space Museum in DC. From the earliest eras of flight to the latest generation in the USAF, it's here in all it's incredible glory, including super-rare and even one-of-a-kinds, like the Valkyrie, Apollo 15 command module, all the X-planes, the Memphis Bell, the list goes on and on and on......and it's all at one facility. The staff was incredibly nice and excited to share stories. My 12 year old and I spent a little less than 5 hours walking the hangars ---- and we barely stopped to read any of the exhibits. I cannot wait to return!

SO MANY PLANES! take a walk though aviation history, from early flight, WW1, WW2, Korea, Vietnam, Cold War, and modern age. Experiential and presidential planes too. Spacecraft as well. Apollo 15 command module is a sight to see. Give yourself plenty of time to take it all in.

My first time here was today. I figured it would be great based on all the positive reviews, but I was still surprised just how great it was! My only complaint -- ONLY -- is the concessions section on the 2nd floor. Prices were eh but the food was nasty! Bring a lunch and eat it outside in the Memorial Park (5 stars there, too). Great experience and to top it all off, admission is free!

There is so much to see from the beginning of flight to recent history. There is a variety of artifacts, including jackets, engines, medals, uniforms, planes (obviously), and ordnance. They offer guided tours but there are plenty of signs describing the displays and stories behind them to do a self-guided tour. Admission is free but donate a few bucks if you don't plan on buying from the massive gift shop, or even if you do, some it really is a great museum. I prefer it to the Smithsonian Air and Space Museum. Now on display, just starting this week, the restored Memphis Belle!

If you are I the area.. this place is definitely ba place in which to stop by. Give yourself some time because this is one of the biggest Museums youve been to. You could easily spend more than half a day in there or even a full day if you really enjoy reading everything. It stretches on for a long way and has great exhibits.

Amazing broad collection of all forms of aircraft throughout history. There is a lot to read, sit in, walk around and through. The little kids loved it. I loved it when I was young (and still do). Food was ok in the cafeteria.

Awesome collection, really worth visiting. If you love to see amazing fighter planes then this is the place. I really need an entire day to see the exhibits in the museum. They don't allow any food and drink inside the museum. They have a small food court for food and drink options.
