Very interesting place but some of the exhibits need more information. We had several questions…read morebrought up by the displays- some we could lookup online but others - like the piece of tree in the visitors center that poses the question how old is it based on the rings was left unanswered We learned it's non profit so I'm sure funding and volunteers might be hard to come by If the green light is lit when you are in the main building definitely check out the floor that has people weaving - it was neat to see it in action Would also be nice if all volunteers were trained equally - a tour hide we encountered was lacking answers to our questions but other volunteers passing us heard us and stopped and took time with us which was super nice I hope they can improve and expand because it was so historical and interesting

That is clearly posted, which is great. However, we tried to re-enter at 4:30 to do one last thing: the bubble room. Turns out they lock the gate at 4:30 and close the bubble room then. I just wish there was better signage; it doesn't feel great to have staff rush you out 30 minutes before closing time.

When finished it will be one of only a few flightworthy B-17's. Museum volunteers are passionate and knowledgeable. The "Warbirds Over The West" event is something I look forward to each year. Great food, lots of historical planes fly in, historical displays, vendors, etc ... it is a great event. If you like planes, WWII, or just history in general ... this museum is well worth the trip.

The Museum is a collection of personal stories from the Air war at home and abroad.

I was amazed at what a great place this is and how much there is to see. Free parking is very easy. There was a lot of walking but they also have small trolleys that take people place to place and bleachers for watching demonstrations. Plenty of options for food, clean bathrooms.
