This place is amazing... My vista here was when it was sht for maintenance, yet, there was freedom to move around the exterior of the museum and the retired warships... brilliant structure! Absolutely a good stop by... when you visit Istanbul, don't hesitate to visit this place.

one of the largest and unique examples of its kind . Ticket price fpr non turkish 100 tl

Not crowded, planes in good condition, but indoor exhibits and gift shop closed for renovation. Still really nice as most of the exhibits are outside, but you can only enter one (C-47) - Others are closed

We visited this great muzium for the first time and it was great .... there is alot of jets aircrafts and fighter jets even weapons and SAMS... we had fun and the price is very good.... only 100 tl ( 6$) per peraon and kids are free ... go visit and you will enjoy and aee aomthings you never see befor

It is just by Marmaray Yeşilköy station so access is very easy. As of May 2022 the main building is under renovation so we were not able to visit inside. It is nice to have possibility to enter the cockpits of some planes. Huge cargo planes are also nice to see inside. Our visit was interesting for our kids.

I thank the Turkish government as well as everyone who participated in this great work. I advise everyone to visit this beautiful and interesting place. When you visit this place, you will benefit from information and go back to the past. It would be better if the information was translated into other languages.

Excellent museum, numerous examples of aircraft that served with the Turkish Air Force, well laid out for good photography. Reasonably priced entry (25 Turkish Lira +50 Lira for photo pass). Highly recommended.

(Translated by Google) General Information A great open-air museum that I can recommend everyone to go and see, regardless of their interest in aviation. The museum consists of open and closed areas. There are many planes and helicopters used in civil aviation and military aviation in the open area. In the closed area, many documents and images are waiting for you about various aircraft models, events that explain the historical development of Turkish Aviation, and our heroes that have made their mark on our aviation history. Tips The entrance fee was charged as 8 TL when I went last. Student tickets were lower prices. There is a large free parking lot. You can easily go with your vehicle. There is also a small store inside where a lot of aviation souvenirs are sold. (Original) Genel Bilgi Havacılığa ilgi duysun duymasın herkesin gidip görmesini tavsiye edebileceğim harika bir açık hava müzesi. Müze açık ve kapalı alanlardan oluşuyor. Açık alanda hem sivil havacılıkta hem de askeri havacılıkta kullanılmış bir çok uçak ve helikopter yer alıyor. Kapalı alanda ise yine çeşitli uçak modelleri, Türk Havacılığının tarihi gelişimini anlatan olaylar ve havacılık tarihimize damgasını vuran kahramanlarımızla ilgili bir çok belge ve görsel sizi bekliyor. İp Uçları Giriş ücreti 8 TL olarak tahsil ediliyordu son gittiğimde. Öğrenci biletleri daha düşük fiyatlıydı. Gayet büyük bir ücretsiz otopark mevcut. Aracınızla rahatlıkla gidebilirsiniz. İçeride havacılığa dair bir çok hediyelik eşyanın satıldığı küçük bir mağaza da bulunuyor.

Child free (Original) Çok fazla uçak bulunuyor .çok güzel bir müze. Orada McDonell Douglass tan tutun F-16 ya kadar çok fazla uçak ve helikopterler var Engelliler bedava yanında birde refakatçi gelirse oda bedava Çocuk bedava

(Translated by Google) A fun activity for kids (Original) Çocuklar için eğlenceli bir aktivite

Great place to see the Turkish Aviation History. The museum has some jet engines simulators. Even engineers should go and visit. Even in 1930s Turkey was an exporter of some of these Turkish made airplanes.

A lot of very old planes, very good place, the ticket only for 10 TL

An awesome gem for aviation lovers. I do hope it doesnt get forgotten with airport being moved. The workers and the aviation store were amazing. I could shop in that store all day. Great job Turkey!

(Translated by Google) You should definitely visit this museum, which is the favorite of our history and our army. (Original) Tarihimizin ve ordumuzun gozbebegi bu müzeyi mutlaka gezmelisiniz

(Translated by Google) A must visit is the Aviation Museum, full of magnificent details and so many history. You see, your hairs get goosebumps. You are looking at airplanes of 100% Turkish origin in Kayseri aircraft factory, and you are looking at parts of enemy jets shot down in the war of liberation. What's more. I recommend that you take 2 hours to fully see them all. You pay a small fee at the entrance. If you have a camera, you are charged extra. It is a museum consisting of two parts, open air and closed. I strongly recommend you to visit. (Original) Kesinlikle ziyaret edilmesi gereken, muhteşem detaylarla ve buram buram tarihle dolu Havacılık müzesi. Bir bakıyorsun tüylerin diken diken oluyor. Bir bakıyorsun Kayseri tayyare fabrikasında %100 Türk menşeili uçaklar, bir bakıyorsun kurtuluş savaşında düşürülmüş düşman jetlerinin parçaları. Daha neler neler. Hakkıyla hepsini görebilmek için 2 saatinizi ayırmanızı tavsiye ederim. Girişte küçük bir ücret ödüyorsunuz. Fotoğraf makineniz varsa ekstra ücret alınıyor. Açık hava ve kapalı olmak üzere iki bölümden oluşan bir müze. Ziyaret etmenizi şiddetle tavsiye ederim.

It was an exciting day to see this museum. I suggest this one especially for kids. Adults would find it interesting as well, to be surrounded by planes of different “categories”. It’s free also😁👍

It was free. Everything is outdoors. What I didn't like was that there are no technical details about the aircrafts(such as range, top speed, max operating altitude etc). The only info displayed is when it entered service with the Turkish air force and how many pieces and when it stopped service.

Best museum i'v ever seen

As a pilot, I travel the world and always try to go to an aviation museum if there is one, wherever I go. The Istanbul museum is a disappointment. The exhibition was partly closed due to renovation, but they still charged a full price of 400tl per adult. We only got to see the outside part. The aircrafts are kept in poor condition with rain leaking into the airplanes destroying what’s left of them. The state of most airplanes: they flew in, dragged onto the museum apron and left to rust. You can clearly see that most of them, were they to be preserved correctly, would’ve still had life in them. It’s mostly a military exhibition with a handful of civilian airplanes, which is fine. The range of fighters/bombers is actually quite impressive from 1950s up to an f-16. The description boards are non-informative. They describe the model and years in service, but no indication of speed, engines, fuel consumption and interesting facts that we usually look for when coming into a museum. In conclusion- the museum lacks aviation enthusiasts to make the exhibition more interactive and interesting. And a good engineer to preserve the airplanes before they are gone completely. Ideally a restoration team to bring life back to the birds. Currently it’s just a parking.

Good place for kids and also for who interested in airplanes.

Aircrafts here are not in very good condition however it's their nature, but again place is really motivational for aviation enthusiasts

It was my first time i visit that museum I just love it

Good place for those who is interested in aviation, great to go with kids, it's has great playground

Fantastic. Great journey through out the history. Very well illustrated. In English. There is a cafe and a sovinour shop and public toilets. Must see.

Nice museum, they have a good collection of air planes...

(Translated by Google) At the end of the First World War, the fact that the aircraft belonging to various nations, the oldest of which belonged to 1912, and the presence of one, two and three of each type of aircraft made by the Germans during the First World War in the hangars led to the decision of the Air Force Inspectorate to establish an air museum. . The seizure of the loot aircraft captured from the enemy has also been started for the same purpose. However, these planes collected for the museum were planned to be taken to Kartal Maltepe in order not to be damaged during the War of Independence, but some of the planes were damaged during the transportation. These damages and the plane crashes that took place during the War of Independence delayed the idea of ​​establishing an air museum. In 1960, the Commander of the Air Force at the time, Hv.Org. Irfan Tansel in Turkey with the directive came the idea of ​​establishing air museum on the agenda published in 1963 and for this purpose an order of protection and one each from Air Force aircraft used in other unions have been asked. As a result of the work carried out in 1966 Air Museum Organization it was formed and May 15, 1971 in Izmir Cumaovası opened Turkey's first air museum in the Civil Airport. (Original) I. Dünya Savaşı sonunda, en eskisi 1912 yılına ait olmak üzere muhtelif milletlere ait tayyareler ile hangarlarda 1. Dünya Savaşı devamınca Almanlar tarafından yapılan her tip tayyareden bir, iki ve üçer adet bulunması Hava Kuvvetleri Müfettişliği’nce bir hava müzesi kurma kararı alınmasına neden olmuştur. Düşmandan ele geçirilmiş ganimet uçakların da aynı amaçla toplatılmasına başlanmıştır. Ancak müze için toplanan bu uçakların, Kurtuluş Savaşı’nda zarar görmemesi için Kartal Maltepe’ye götürülmesi düşünülmüş, fakat taşıma sırasında uçakların bir kısmı büyük ölçüde hasar görmüştür. Bu hasarlar ile Kurtuluş Savaşı’nda meydana gelen uçak kırımları, hava müzesi kurma fikrini geciktirmiştir. 1960 yılında zamanın Hava Kuvvetleri Komutanı Hv.Org. İrfan Tansel'in direktifiyle Türkiye'de Hava Müzesi kurma fikri gündeme gelmiş ve bu amaçla 1963’te yayınlanan bir emirle Hava Kuvvetleri ve diğer birliklerde kullanılan uçaklardan birer adedinin korunması istenmiştir. Sürdürülen çalışmalar sonucu 1966 yılında Hava Müzesi Teşkilatı oluşturulmuş ve 15 Mayıs 1971 yılında İzmir Cumaovası Sivil Havaalanında Türkiye’nin İlk Hava Müzesi açılmıştır.

Full of turkish aviation history... Hoped to see more helicopters, but there only 2 .... Mostly there are no explanations infront of the showed airplanes outside... and most of the airplanes need to looked after. However it was a good experience and would be great for kids

Neat little museum with a small number of aircraft on display. They like their cats here too, several populate the grounds.

Great place for aviation lovers. All engines and spare parts are available for your interest also.

Wonderful place to get to know more about turkish aviation air force!

This is one of the must-see museums in İstanbul. If you are interested in learning about the aviation history, please do not miss this museum.

Lovely array of all the various fighter jets the Turkish airforce has operated over the years as well as a few really special vintage and historical machines. You can see the funding and enthusiasm isn't where it used to be, but for what one pays its worth the little walk around. Everything is in Turkish so you won't be able to read or understand what the information boards say which is understandable in Turkey. Still a nice little outing. I'm sure kids enjoy it especially

Well designed aviation museum of the Turkish Air Forces. Many original planes can be seen in the halls and outside. The historical development of the aviation in the world and turkey is excellent explained in the halls with multimedia support. Thanks for the founders and management of the museum.

👍

IT WAS AWESOME. they have a good variety of fighter jets, commercial planes, search and rescue planes, bombs, missiles and more would recommmend 100000000/100

Very well designed to express the aviation history vasıtasıyla and enjoy there.

Totally best experience in Istanbul. A must see museum for all airplane fans, only minus is history of Turkish aviation isn't explain as well in English, only info tables in front of each airplane are multilingual.

A beautiful place especially for people who are interested in military stuff especially air force

Easily accessible via Marmaray, this museum has some history and interesting aircraft. İt's worth a trip out there to see

Could have been better maintained but a very nice experience

Sorry, it was closed the day I visited.. we sent some time at its garden which was full of planes. I saw our first plane. I wish all were inside of some building.

Amazing place for visit with family and children's. Such a nice outdoor place and good history of these aircrafts.

Im very happy about my visit here They a lot of aircraft to see. When i visited i couldn't go inside the building but it is okay You can go inside a turkish airforce c160 sit in the cockpit They have c47s(military version of dc3) and military version of dc4 Overall if you like planes Definitely visit it Its right next to the bus station and marmaray station

Really interesting place, old technology but history speaks loudly. Request to management please provide proper rest room.

Very good

Collection can definitely be more rich and better maintained. The place is not being taken care of as it should.

Recommended For kids and children ,, ticket for Turkish adults 50 tl

Nice little walkabout but the inside museum was closed for refurbishment. 200TL is probably a little too much for the walk around the grounds to see some aircraft. Quite a tired look to it. To my knowledge, some of the planes were getting repainted which is highly needed.

Great place for people with aviation interests, especially kids!! The only downfall was non of the planes had inside access. But overall recommend a visit if you are stopping by Istanbul Aquarium.

Great exhibits and the tickets are well priced!

I went before yesterday It was a nice experience The ticket 25 TL with photographer will cost 100 TL I guess. The weather was hot outside , inside was closed because the restoration… the airplanes needs servicing btw but I enjoyed… I will go again when the interior museum opens
