Reviewers point to a kids' scavenger hunt with a prize, flight simulators, and a few aircraft you can climb into for a small extra charge, so mind heads going in. Bathrooms are clean and shaded outdoor benches look onto the runway. Allow a few hours. Younger children get in free.
One of the largest collections of flyable WWII, Korea and Vietnam-era warbirds, with many aircraft you can walk right up to and volunteer veterans happy to share stories. Kids under 12 get in free, and much of the collection sits in air-conditioned hangars for a cool afternoon. Check the schedule for occasional flight demonstrations.

I am not one to fawn over aviation but, the collection held here is impressive. I kept catching myself being entertained by every single plane. Pristine examples of modern history. Many interactive exhibits as well, the day I visited the F-16 simulator was not in use, but it gives me another reason to return. Flights in historic planes are also available for purchase

Absolutely a perfect place to bring the family to learn about our history. Plus they have a scavenger hunt for kids and give them a prize. I'm usually not into airplanes but this was a whole different experience. I highly recommend this place if you have time you want to spend with the kids and want to try something new.
