Favorite interactive place to take guests and little ones! Great interactive place for kids and any aviation enthusiast! Super friendly, knowledgeable and kind staff. They also have a great little gift shop! Lots of outdoor exhibits for the sunny days and even a ton of indoor exhibits and info for the rainy days. I recommend bringing your own picnic and enjoying lunch in the gated picnic area they have that backs the langley airport runway!
They even offer memberships for a more then fair price!

If you can I reccomend a Sunday when Robert is in. He made a 2 hour tour fly by and taught us more then I could have known to even ask. The pictures he carries with him and the videos to demonstrate the planes in flight and internal workings were fascinating! Such a fun and engaging place to spend a few hours.

What a gem!! And Robert gave an informative yet dynamic site tour. The museum has many airworthy displays and a unique collection of WWII aircraft. Love it.
We drove from Portland to attend the Battle of Britain commemorative day on 16 September, 2023. What a gem of a museum! A plethora of exhibits with attendant placards thoroughly explaining a particular display. Another point that impressed us was the number of displays featuring women participating in all phases of aviation. This is very encouraging, and we understand the museum is involved in programs to encourage more women to consider careers in aviation. Fabulous! (Having the only Handley Page Hampden in their collection is also huge.) We will return.
Thanks Robert for your great explanation about planes and history and for answering all our spontaneous questions 🤣, The museum was fun and interactive. Good plan for families.
It is an amazing place to visit for aviation enthusiasts. One can find the development of aircraft from the olden times to modern age technology.
They also have informative people around who can help you answer all sorts of aviation related questions.
I was lucky enough to visit the place on Canada Day and got a chance to meet a former Lockheed F104 Starfighter pilot.
They have an amazing collection of planes, models, engines and apart from that there's a gift shop from where you can buy some aviation memories to take back home.
In a nutshell it is a must go place for aviation geeks and a cherry on the cake you can get inside some of the airplanes. To make things even better, you get an amazing air side view of the Langley Regional Airport.
