This Museum is just downright amazing! It’s big and spacious with amazing informative staff and quite a good bit of details on what is on display and why it mattered, it’s probably the best museum I’ve been to. As for their claim to having good educational programs and displays here, well again. It’s absolutely no joke! They really do have some great informative displays of things such as drag and thrust and the general aerodynamics of planes! Along with that their section about aviation mapping and weather effects on planes was really good. Their features on how planes engines work was again, really good! I found really nothing to complain about, it’s just a amazing museum doing a great job of contextualization and presentation. The tickets aren’t too expensive either, they’re rather reasonably priced!

Great little museum with flyable aircraft... So, I guess it's more like a bird cage, which is kinda sad. But the airplanes are immaculate! And the facilities are just gorgeous. Highlight for me were the hands on activities for the kids that taught aerodynamic principles clearly and logically. My son particularly enjoyed the make your own paper airplane section. These can be horrible and messy... Not the case here. The paper was arranged nicely and the airplane building instructions were clear and easy to follow. If you're with an airplane nerd... Or are an airplane nerd, this is a great stop!!
We're lucky to have a place like this in Houston. It's a beautiful museum, has an astounding number of historic aircraft, and it has a lot of hands on activities for all ages, even outside where they have a vegetable garden. The day we went, they had a few aviators from WW2 by the planes they flew, which was a really special opportunity. They also had an African Americans in Aviation traveling exhibit, which was a great way of highlighting an otherwise little known part of aviation history. Also, be on the lookout for a Russian MiG and a German WW2 bomber. Very unique experience!
Great place to visit! My hubby and I went last Sunday and viewed the planes... did the simulator...and shopped at the gift shop The employees were so kind. I found out if you book it you can actually go up in the air with a pilot for 250.00! Well worth it for a once in a lifetime experience! Take your family and friends! It’s a wonderful place! We are going back to take our US Navy Airman in December when she comes home on leave!!!!
How many if these planes are permanently static?\ (They won't fly again) \Only a couple.\. . \That means the B25? The F4U? The freeking B-17???\ (In the best Texan drawl ever) \ Yup!
