Definitely a place to carry your kids and let them have fun

The Aviation Museum at Kokukoen Park has several older planes and helicopters which kids and adults can board as well as sit in the cockpits. It's not a bad way to get a feel for what sitting in these vehicles would be like, but is probably more fun for the kids and is especially popular for posing for pictures (there are even kid-sized pilot and aviator costumes for the kids to wear while taking shots). There are also several exhibits on flight and aerodynamics (Japanese only), and for a little extra money you can watch a brief, unrelated 40-min CG movie. Just outside the museum are displays of older planes, a large picnic area, and usually lots of hobbyists flying kites, gliders, and more.

Very interesting aviation museum, if you like travel and would like to understand more details of how airplane can fly, this museum can give you all answer, plus easy to understand 😃 but some interaction games are under repairing 🥴

(Translated by Google) It is good to have children that you can not experience in the middle of the city. Because it is near Kanto, it is easy to go. I wanted to go again. (Original) 中々都会では味わえない体験を子供ができて、良いです。関東近郊なので、行きやすいです。 また行こうと思いました。

Small but very cool museum! The signs for the displays are all in Japanese, but thats nothing Google translate can't fix! A lot of the more interactive activities aren't available due to COVID, but there was still plenty to see and do.

Take in mind that enjoying the full visit requires purchasing tickets. However, you can see some aircrafts inside the museum and outside (in the park) freely.

A fun museum on the history of flight, and flight in Japan. Plenty of planes and exhibits. A few simulators are still closed because of COVID-19. Good English signage for most of the planes. Do try the low gravity simulator. Tickets to the movie theater are an optional extra. Not far from the train station.

Very nice place with nice collection of aircraft with hands on experience. They have a small movie theatre as well. With the ticket you can have a re-entry as food is not allowed inside. Huge park outside the museum.

Good museum on the history of flight from the earliest human endeavors to ballooning, the Wright Brothers up to the present. Lots of information on Japanese aviation and it’s origins in the Tokorozawa area. Staff were friendly and very helpful.

Nice museum with lots of info on aviation & interactive section for kids & adults. There's a workshop & a show for those who came early. Big space park outside the museum to go for a walk or rest & enjoy with the cafe just next door.

A great museum with lots of aircrafts ✈️ Even though I am not a big fan of aircraft, I had a well spent afternoon there with their flight simulations and activities!

Its very good experience and there are lot of activities we can participate like flight simulators and getting on air planes. I highly recommend it

(Translated by Google) This is an irresistible place for airplane lovers. I will study the development of the aircraft and the mechanism of the engine. (Original) 飛行機好きには、たまらない場所です。航空機の発達やエンジンの仕組みとか勉強になります。

(Translated by Google) In addition to the exhibition of the aircraft as well, it will be slowly in the cafe very enjoy. Child-friendly are also many beautiful as well as a park. There is also a dog run (Original) 機体の展示以外にも、非常に楽しめますしカフェでゆっくりできます。公園としてもキレイでお子さん連れも多いです。ドッグランもあります

(Translated by Google) Birthplace of aviation (Original) 航空発祥の地

(Translated by Google) You can see the start of Japanese airplanes. It is exhibited both indoors and in the park. There are many seasonal flowers and you can enjoy with pets. (Original) 日本の飛行機の始まりがわかります。室内展示と、公園にも、展示されています。四季折々の花も沢山あり、ペット連れで楽しめます。

(Translated by Google) The admission fee of 520 yen is well worth it. It may be better not to go by car (Original) 入館料520円の価値は十分にあります❗️ 車で行かない方が良いかも

(Translated by Google) The plane is powerful (Original) 飛行機が迫力満点

(Translated by Google) Small and old (Original) 小且旧

Fantastic place to visit if you're in need of a break from the busy Tokyo area. The staff was nice, but it was clear they don't get many foreigners. Not a lot of English signs for the exhibit items, but Google translate Does a decent job.

(Translated by Google) This is a park where you can go wild birds (Original) 野鳥の撮影で行く公園です

(Translated by Google) It is popular because it is large and there is a dog run and a way for people to jog. There is also a library in the park. (Original) 広くて、ドッグランや人がジョギングする道もあったりして、人気があります。 公園内に図書館もあります。

(Translated by Google) There were unexpectedly various exhibitions and hands-on corners, so I was satisfied. A good place for families. (Original) 予想外に多彩な展示や体験コーナーなどもあり満足しました。家族連れにはいいところです。

(Translated by Google) There is no admission and viewing. Can it be a little cheaper? (Original) 入場料と観覧物があってない。もう少し安くても良いのでは？

A great place to learn about Japan’s aviation history and contribution to aviation!!!!

I understand there should be some concerns about the covid issues with some of the displays. But the entire atmosphere and the contents were not for worth paying little bit expensive fees than other museums around Kanto.

(Translated by Google) It was a lot warmer than the park days, with a lot of playgrounds for toddlers (Original) 広くて幼児の遊び場もたくさんあって、今日は特に暖かく公園日よりでした

This a really cool place! It is chock-full of really cool artifacts and history, not to mention a bunch of interactive exhibits. You can even sit in a Cessna. There's a great variety of stuff, it's definitely worth a visit.

Very informative. Rather than little children junior high school kids will enjoy this place.

It's a small and quiet little museum but the displays are adequate. The relative quietness (ergo, less tourists) is actually good as you can appreciate the displays more. Wish they had more English language translations, but the staff does speak relatively good English so it is not really a big issue. Highly recommended for kids.

Fair place to visit. Pride of Tokorozawa.

Very kid-friendly. Great for families. A lot of knowledge section, very well-planned. A few simulation set-ups to fly aircrafts. I enjoyed so much. A lot of artifacts to see. ...and... This is the very first airfield in Japan.

Best aviation museum ever

A great museum with many aircraft of display. The exhibits were very interactive and you got to fly 2 different flight simulators. If you only speak English there isn’t too much to help but it’s very straightforward and you can figure it out without being able to read the signs. Great gift shop as well!

Super do per enjoying aircraft museum😳😍

Me and my partner went to this and had a great time learning about the various aeroplanes and tech. Really interactive and worth it. Didn't go with the movie part, as we were time dictated - however worth every yen!

(Translated by Google) I visited on August 1st, and the corona measures and correspondence were well established, so the visitors needed to have the name of the representative and the telephone number. It may be due to contact at a later date if an infected person occurs. The exhibition was as usual, but some facilities that could be experienced were not available. Although it is a relatively small memorial, it was a facility for aviation enthusiasts to study the history of the surrounding area. (Original) 8月１日分に訪問、コロナ対策・対応がしっかりされていて入場者は代表者の氏名と電話番号の記名が必要でした。感染者発生した場合の後日連絡のためかと思われます。 展示は普段通りでしたが、体験できるいくつかの設備は休止中でした。 比較的小さな記念館ですが、航空関係マニアにとっては周辺の歴史など勉強になる施設でした。

(Translated by Google) Large images are fun. Since it is a short story, even small children can watch it without getting tired. (Original) 大型映像が楽しい。短編なので小さい子でも飽きずに見れます。

(Translated by Google) I can enjoy it. I'm not satisfied. (Original) 楽しめるけど。物足りない。

(Translated by Google) Both adults and children can enjoy it. You can do it while watching the driver's seat simulation and monitor of flight control. (Original) 大人も子どもも、楽しめます。飛行操縦の運転席シュミレーション、モニターを見ながらのできます。

(Translated by Google) The exhibit is wonderful. However, the permanent memorial stamp has been removed due to measures against corona (tears). It is very disappointing. I'm not convinced that the stamp is removed even though the entrance is fairly strictly controlled. (Original) 展示は素晴らしいのです。 ただ、コロナ対策とやらで常設の記念スタンプが撤去されてます（涙） 非常に残念です。入口でかなり厳重な入場管理をしてるのに、スタンプを撤去するというのは納得出来ません。

(Translated by Google) I went with a 2 year old child. It may have been a little boring for a 2-year-old child, but it was a place that adults could enjoy. There are panels on which you can feel the history very much, and I thought it would be more enjoyable if you read slowly. Due to corona, the cafe was only takeaway. There is a large lawn park outside, so there is also a place where you can play leisurely after the memorial hall is over. (Original) 2歳子連れで行きました。2歳児には少しつまらなかったかもですが、大人は楽しめそうな所でした。歴史をとても感じられるパネルが並んでおり、ゆっくり読めたらより楽しめるだろうなと思いました。コロナの影響でカフェがテイクアウトのみでした。外は広い芝生の公園なので、記念館終わったらのびのび遊べる場所もあります。

(Translated by Google) Although it's small, it's a good place to see many airplanes and bring children. After the tour, it's fun to buy and fly a propeller plane at the shop. The point is to park in a parking lot near the memorial hall. (Original) 狭いながらも沢山の飛行機が見れて子供を連れて行くにはちょうどよい。見学のあとは、ショップでプロペラ機を買って飛ばすのも楽しい。 記念館近くの駐車場に停めるのがポイント。

(Translated by Google) Nature is full (Original) 自然がいっぱい

This is a good aviation museum. It’s nice to get out of the heat in August.

Great family place, we love it. The Farmers Cafe is a little expensive, but good for a quick bite. Everything else is fantastic!

It has enough place to play with children. We enjoyed with model airplane as well as baseball.

Beautiful place to have picnics, relaxing after a busy day or for peaceful long walks.

Five star says it all.

Great place to spend free time, Large area can do many activities !!!

Hardly any planes if it is free then its passable but they charge you to see dusty old planes.

(Translated by Google) Open from June 1st (Original) ６月１日から開館です

(Translated by Google) Summer is cool and the best! A secret place! (Original) 夏は涼しく最高！穴場！

(Translated by Google) I come to see the memorial hall, lawn open space, propeller plane, and like the airplane. (Original) 記念館、芝生の広場、プロペラ機など観て来て飛行機が好きになります。

(Translated by Google) Here and there, there are corners where you can't play because of breakdowns, and you can feel the tight budget. Many airplanes and helicopters are on display, and you can learn how aerodynamic buoyancy is generated. Flight simulators and video materials are getting a bit old-fashioned. Buildings and facilities are fine and beautiful. As an individual, I enjoyed it very much. On the way home, I bought a kite at the stall and enjoyed eating the octopus with the children at the park. (Original) あちこちで、故障して遊べないままになっているコーナーがあり、予算的に厳しい感じが伝わってきます。 沢山の飛行機、ヘリコプターの実物が展示されており、航空力学的な浮力が発生する仕組みが学べるアトラクションは、大人も子どもも楽しめるのに、もったいない感じ。 フライトシュミレーターや、映像資料は、少し古めかしくなってきている。 建物や施設は立派でキレイです。私個人としては、とても楽しめました。帰りに売店で凧を買い、公園で子どもとたこ揚げを楽しみました。

(Translated by Google) Vast and comfortable The presence of this park is worth living nearby (Original) 広大で気持ちが良い この公園の存在だけて、近隣に住む価値がある

(Translated by Google) Large park (Original) 広い公園

(Translated by Google) As an airplane enthusiast, I would like to express my sincere respect for the obsession or enthusiasm for such a collection in Japan. (Original) 一飛行機マニアとして言わせていただくと、日本でこれだけのコレクションを揃えた、その執念というか熱意に心から敬意を表したいと思います。

(Translated by Google) The replica of Type 97 battle is amazing! Very happy! (Original) 九七式戦のレプリカは凄い‼とても嬉しい‼

(Translated by Google) Closed for corona (T_T) (Original) コロナのために閉館中です(T_T)

Very nice place about an hour out of Tokyo by train. Visit if you need to get out of the city, especially if you are into airplanes. Large park near the museum makes for a pleasant walk.

(Translated by Google) Recommended for enthusiasts (Original) マニアにオススメ

(Translated by Google) It seems to start from 6/24 due to coronavirus. We couldn't see the memorial hall, or everyone in the plaza looked happy because we were skipping a paper airplane. (Original) コロナウイルスのため、6/24より始まるそうです。記念館は見れませんでしたか、広場では、紙飛行機をとばしていて、皆さんたのしそうでした。

(Translated by Google) Urban oasis! ️ (Original) 都会のオアシス‼️

(Translated by Google) I had a great time with my grandchildren! ?! It’s a very nice place! ? (Holiday) (Original) 孫たちを連れて、楽しく行って来ました！?！とてもいい所ですね！?(祝)

(Translated by Google) I felt lonely because there was no video or event due to the coronal disaster and I could not hold an interactive event. (Original) コロナ禍の為に映像もイベントも無く又、体験型イベントも出来ず寂しい思いをしましたので…。

(Translated by Google) I'm glad that various airplanes were on display (Original) いろいろ飛行機が展示してあり良かったから

(Translated by Google) I was able to take a very relaxing walk (Original) とても広くゆったり散歩できた
