An open-air airpark where reviewers say you can walk right up to the planes, with free admission and free parking. There is a gift shop. Several mention it is almost always very windy, so dress for that, and there is little indoors if the weather turns.
An outdoor display of aircraft built or tested at neighboring Plant 42 — pairs with the Blackbird Airpark next door. Bring water and a hat in summer.

- Usman Ahmad★★★★★
I recently visited Joe Davies Heritage Airpark in Palmdale, and it was a very enjoyable experience. This museum is a great place for anyone who loves airplanes, history, or simply wants a peaceful outing. The aircraft displays are impressive, well-maintained, and give a real sense of America’s aerospace history, especially Palmdale’s connection to aviation. Admission is free, which makes it even better for families and visitors on a budget. The open-air setup makes it easy to walk around and take photos at your own pace. I especially liked how close you can get to the planes, making the visit feel more interactive than a typical museum. Overall, Joe Davies Heritage Airpark is a hidden gem in Palmdale and definitely worth visiting if you are interested in aviation or local history.

Lots of cool planes to get right up close to. Seems to always be super windy there though.
