When i was there the civil aviation section was not open,but the military one was fun too...you can go up in the tower and can see the active runway and planes landing and taking off.The place is full of history and information,plus a great chance for good pictures

Great museum! Tons of reading material, tons of unique exhibits! The reception has information in many languages of the world. Convenient location two kilometers from the airport. I recommend to visit everyone, it will be interesting for all ages!

Fantastic 4 hrs of piecing together part of our history. Congratulations to the curators because you found a great job. I'll go back to visit the civilian aircraft section next visit. Good cafe/ restaurant facilities were pleasant too. Thanks for an enlightening afternoon. Tony

I can't single out a reason for why I love this place. I might be biased, as I went to technical school at the east end of the building, and helped out with aircraft restoration at their workshop for two years. They have a wondeful collection of civilian and military aircraft. The museum is split into two parts, one run by the norwegian military museum department, and the other organized by civilians. It tells the story of norwegian aviation, but for international visitors it can be a difficult visit without a guide. Most of the exhibit explanations are in either norwegian or english.

You can spend hours here. Lots to learn and see. They have both a military section aswell as a civil section. Both sections focus on airplanes and aviation in general. You must go here if you are in Bodø.

Fantastic museum , very good history of aviation from the first flight , the two world wars and contribution of aviation to the growth of Norway 🇳🇴. The different aircraft displayed and the equipment both civilian and military was fantastic

A wonderful place to visit, look forward to returning some day.

I would recommend you leave at least half a day to fully explore this fantastic attraction in Bodø. It is full of interesting items - staff are super help full and friendly - and so knowledgeable- there is a real sense of pride in the work they do and the information they pass on.

Very impressive museum with a great collection of aircraft, all thoughtfully presented. Nice cafe too! Lots to interest enthusiasts with historic and modern, civil, and military exhibits. There is plenty of interactive displays to keep kids happy, including a giant table of Lego. Highly recommended!

Right size for efficient shopping

Beautiful and knowledge imparting. Could have spent more time here but the place closes at 4 in winter. Worth a visit

From an American point of view I thought this was an excellent museum. Clean, open, many of the exhibits were in several languages. It will take about 2 hours to see it thoroughly. From an aviation enthusiast point of view it was great to see that all aviation was celebrated and not just the Norwegian history, though that was obviously emphasized. Great history, cool museum. The control tower was fun too.

One of the best museums I've ever seen, which will be interesting for adults and kids, who can play and even do some experiments. I wish I could visit it few more times after reading the relevant history books. My great respect to the founders of this museum.

An excellent museum!! Many very good displays with multiple languages on most every item. Very comprehensive displays and well organized. They’ve separated the military from civilian displays and it works very well. Some excellent aircraft including Spitfire, Hurricane, and Mosquito. 60’s Twin Otter is very nice. Some Great areas for kids to play. An excellent cafe where you get good food, large portions and the lowest price in town for a meal. Military discount if you ask. Highly recommend this as a full day activity.

Great military section. The guy guides us through that area was well prepared and with a fluent and understandable English. We missed the last Civil Section tour

Very interesting and great guides who provide a lively overview of the Norwegian aviation history

It's got to be 5*this place is an amazing experience and on a day like today very good to hide from the weather conditions. Take a number 1/2/3 Bus from Bodo,pay by card no problem. Then enjoy a coffee & cake later.Great day

Very nice museum for those interested in aviation. Most exhibits don't have any fence so you can actually walk all the way up to the planes!

If you want to fly but ain´t got wings - that is the right place to visit. Even if you are not interesserad in planes. Superb museum. Must see when you're in Bodo !

Excellent museum! I was so surprised to find this amazing museum during a short stay here. As an aviation professional I always seek out aviation museums but I had no idea this one was here and it was SO well done. Great history of aviation in Norway both civil and military. Loved it and extremely well curated. Worth the trip!

The visit to the museum was great. The place is must visit. It's built in a vast area. The development of aviation sector in a span of 90 years in Norway is worth knowing.

Very good expedition with interesting comments. Reserve enough time!

Very informative, heaven for aviation lover

Must go place if you visit Bodo ever. Informative and amazing.

Better than The Smithsonian in Washington DC. Absolutely amazing museum! Don't miss it!!!

Interesting place to spend 2 or 3 hours. From the control room you can watch planes taking off and landing at Bodo airport. We saw several F-16s land, which was pretty cool.

Once you have tasted flight, you will forever walk the earth with your eyes turned skyward, for there you have been, and there you will always long to return.

A wonderful day spent looking at Commercial and Military airplanes, exhibitions and heaps of photos and history. Museum is filled with things to see and read about. Hands on activities for children are also available.

This is definitely one of the best aviation museums that I visited. The exhibitions are superbly set up so that you get a sense of the norwegian aviation history. There are no lines between the visitor and the aircraft on display so you can get real close and examine the thin leading edge of the F-104 or the sleek bulkiness of the Fw-190. The museum achives a perfect balance between exhibitions and visitor interaction. You can even sit in the cockpit of the Starfighter! This is done at a designated time under the wachtfull eye of a very friendly staff member. The civilian exhibition is a bit smaller but not less exciting. The Ju-52 on floats and the first dhc-6 to fly with wideroe are my favorites.

Great history of aviation and the story of flight in Norway. Lots of amazing planes that you can get up close to. Your was great too!

A great museum, lots of information and interesting riddles for kids and historical planes for adults. Also has a experiment corner which is fun for adult and kids alike! Really fun and interesting experience.

Huge! Probably should set aside the best part of a day to get around this, or half day if you only want to see either military or civilian. Make sure you go up the old ATC tower.

Worth the trip try the control tower👍

nice and quiet. very educational.

Veldig interessant utstilling.

I had a great time here while waiting for my own flight. LOVED the 2nd ww planes. Very few people so very Covid friendly.

(Translated by Google) Great museum, exciting for young and old. (Original) Flott museum, spennende for store og små.

(Translated by Google) A huge museum you should definitely stop by if you are in Bodø. You can easily spend 1-2 hours here if you want to get everything.

The staff is perceived as friendly and knowledgeable. Good parking for both bicycle and car. (Original) Et digert museum man absolutt burde ta turen innom om man er i Bodø.

(Translated by Google) The photos were taken in August 2020. The aviation museum contains such a rich and interesting exhibition that it is worth coming to Bodø for it. You can reserve a half-day for sightseeing, and for aviation and military enthusiasts, probably a full day. This is the only museum of its kind in Norway. It is located on the premises of the old airport, so you can visit a real control tower with old navigation and measuring instruments. In addition, the tower offers a beautiful landscape of the surrounding area, against the backdrop of the mountains and the fjord. The museum is divided into 2 exhibition halls for visiting and a control tower. Boys and men will probably be more interested in the military section on the left side of the entrance. On the right, however, there is the entrance to the civil aviation hall, where, in addition to visiting a large exhibition of historical aircraft, you can also enter one of them. In front of this room there is an entrance upstairs to the control tower. Directions: The museum is very well signposted (Luftfartmuseet) as soon as you enter Bodø. Exit to the parking lot in front of the museum may be a problem because the indicator is on the left side of the road and is invisible in the sun. Therefore, when passing under the control tower, turn into the first street on the right. Parking: Parking is large paid. You can find a spot in the shade. (Original) Zdjęcia wykonano w sierpniu 2020. Muzeum lotnictwa zawiera tak bogatą i ciekawą ekspozycję, że chociażby tylko dla niego warto przyjechać do Bodø. Na zwiedzanie można zarezerwować sobie pół dnia a dla fascynatów lotnictwa i militariów, zapewne cały dzień. To jedyne muzeum w swoim rodzaju w Norwegii. Znajduje się ono na terenie starego lotniska, więc można w nim zwiedzić prawdziwą wieżę kontrolną ze starymi instumentami nawigacyjnimi i pomiarowymi. Ponadto z wieży rozpościera się przepiękny krajobraz na okolicę, na tle gór i fiordu. Muzeum podzielone jest na 2 sale ekspozycji do zwiedzania i wieżę kontolną. Chłopców i mężczyzn zapewne zainteresuje bardziej część militarna, znajdująca się po lewej stronie od wejścia. Po prawej stronie natomiast, znajduje się wejście do sali lotnictwa cywilnego, gdzie oprócz zwiedzania bagatej ekspozycji historycznych samolotów można też wejść do środka jednego z nich. Przed tą sala znajduje się wejście schodkami na górę do wieży kontolnej. Dojazd: Już od wjazdu do Bodø muzeum jest bardzo dobrze oznakowane (Luftfartmuseet). Problemem może być zjazd na parking przed muzeum, ponieważ kierunkowskaz umieszczono po lewej stronie drogi i jest niewidoczny w słońcu. Przejeżdzając zatem pod wieżą kontrolną należy skręcić w pierwszą ulicę na prawo. Parking: Parking jest duży płatny. Można znaleźć miejsce w cieniu.

Really, really good exhibits and aircraft examples. I could have used a little bit more text in English, or translations of the technical specifications, but I'm visiting another country and am sadly monolingual so I really shouldn't complain.

Very well organized museum. Interesting exhibitions and good coffee 👍

Lots to see and very well presented. The exhibits are "gleaming" and well laid out. Loads of history about Norwegian aviation, World War 2 invasion and about individual people and aircraft. Nice waffles in the café too.

Excellent museum, with lots to see and do for adults and children. Combines war history, technology, polar exploration, role of women in early aviation, and civil aviation then & now into a package that nicely suits a full rainy afternoon in Bodø.

Didn't have enough time to see and experience everything; definitely requires another visit! Fun and challenging games for kids and they even have a Links Trainer from WW2 (although only on display, not functioning)

Best II world war aviation Museum in Norway. Featuring Spitfire, Mosquito, bf109 and fw190. But also U2 Dragonfly

Really nice museum. Helpfull staff and loads of great planes. There's even an interactive corner where both young and old can test their flying skills/reflexes

Absolutely awesome you can learn a LOT about history and the planes. There even is a whole spy plane inside the military part. As for the civil part you are able to learn and admire the planes from the first object in the air to mass casualty crashes your brain will be satisfied with the variety of plains, facts, history and reality that this museum presents. I as a history lover was able to spend almost 4 hours in there.

This is a must-see in Bodø. Incredibly well organized and curated museum of military and civilian aviation history. Stunning aircraft and exhibits. Allow plenty of time.

I recently visited the aviation museum in Bodø and was blown away by the sheer number of planes and displays on offer. The military section of the museum was particularly interesting, with several rooms filled with real planes that have played a significant role in the history of Norwegian aviation. There were also plenty of displays showcasing plane engines and other aircraft components, along with informative explanations about how they work. The civil aviation section of the museum was equally impressive, with a wide variety of planes on display ranging from small private planes to larger commercial airliners. There were also several interactive exhibits that provided a deeper understanding of the science behind flight. While the museum was a bit pricey, I found it to be well worth the cost. The 2-3 hour tour gave me plenty of time to explore all the exhibits and learn more about the rich history of aviation in Norway. Overall, I highly recommend a visit to the aviation museum in Bodø for anyone with an interest in planes and aviation.

The museum offers a big collection of aviation history, I was really surprised to find such a gem here! Sadly they did some work on the public aviation part so we couldn't see much of that, but we wouldn't have had time anyway since the military part had us occupied until they closed. We were there for about three hours and we couldn't see everything we wanted so I'd suggest getting there early enough. One big plus which I didn't see in many other museums is that you can touch many of the pieces at display, which in my opinion adds a lot to the experience.

Very interesting collection, I had the chance to have a guided tour of the museum and learned a lot

Very well organized exhibitions and interesting exhibits. Guided tours included in the ticket price. Attractions for the whole family, large facility. Definitely recommend to reserve a few hours for the museum while you are in Bodø.

Very nice museum with plenty of real planes. A good place to get out of the weather for an hour or so.

Amazing aviation museum with history of Norwegian aviation. Can’t recommend enough, but be prepared that you need to spend a lot of hours here. (For us 3 hours was enough only for the military part.)
