Was a nice little trip for the kids. The people running the museum are very knowledgeable and didn't hesitate to help us have a great visit. They provided so much information and detail. It really made the museum all the better.

Wonderful collection of static aircraft. Staff was very welcoming and helpful. Enjoyed the tours and museum.

OMGosh! I've lived near here all my life and never knew this was here. The volunteers are post-military with relevant stories to help you understand the struggles. Definitely a worthwhile trip. Take 3 hours and read about the planes and inside the museum too. The Sherman Tank was started up, incredible! Don't forget to reserve a spot 7 days ahead. This is an active military base and you have to be vetted first. We had to wait an additional 15 minutes because it had only been 3 days since we reserved our time.

It's a great local air museum. Lots of information on the fields history. Pictures, models and even full sized planes you can walk through and listen to live volunteers who have flown the planes explain their details.

Very fun place and a great time for $5/person. The volunteers are informative and describe the airplanes they served on.

Outstanding Adventure @Selfridge Airshow 2022!!

My kids loved this place. The volunteers had had ton of knowledge and engaged with my kids a ton (my kids love reading and knew a lot about the equipment already). The people working on the machines were fantastic. Talked with my kids on and off for 4 hours.

I had an awesome time here. I came to network with military members about personal credit and didn't even know about this gem!!!!! Everyone at the museum was helpful, informative and amazing!!!!

Who knew such a small museum could pack such a punch. Our group of 4 adults and 6 children spend 3-4 hours touring and listening to volunteers/workers explain items and aircrafts (and tanks!). The people here are really what makes this museum so special. We were there well through, and past, lunch and the kids never complained they were so intrigued.

Great place for a good family time. If you love history and aviation, you don’t wanna miss this place. The gift shop inside also has a good collection of collectibles that you can buy. The prices are reasonable there as well.

It was an awesome experience and very helpful and knowledgeable volunteers. Who made it a memorable experience for my kids.

This is a great place, full of great people, great exhibits, and did I mention great people? We went on a tour with Steve, and he was amazing! He shared his experiences jumping out of some of the planes. My son and I had such a great time. I highly recommend it. There is so much history here, I don't want to spoil it, so just go check it out, you won't be sorry.

We took my 94 year old dad on Father’s Day. A ton of history that’s well organized and displayed well. Aircraft is also displayed outside. You have to clear security at the guard station which takes about 15 minutes.

Selfridge Field was named in memory of Thomas Etholen Selfridge (1883-1908) in San Francisco, a graduate from the United States Military Academy at West Point with the class of 1903. Lt. Selfridge was 31st in his class of 96, ranking well below the valedictorian, Douglas MacArthur (1880-1964). After receiving his commission, Selfridge was assigned to the field artillery and then was attached to the U.S. Army Signal Corps, where he had an opportunity to explore the potentials of military aviation and joined Dr. Alexander Graham Bell in his experiments with kites with great lifting capacity. He also became involved in designing and building early aircraft. On September 17, 1908 while conducting trials of the Wright airplane he went aloft with Orville Wright. On that day, flying about 150 feet from the ground over Fort Meyer, Virginia, Wright put the plane into a steep turn. The wing flexed and the propeller blade snapped off and the plane, out of control, crashed. Lt. Selfridge died that afternoon, the first man killed in a heavier-than-air flying machine.

Very friendly staff. Cant wait to go back again. I hope to see a airshow sometime.

Love that little museum is here... Just a sweet little place with a WHOLE LOT of history... Comfortable place to just... Be.... Thank you

This is an awesome place to visit.... You can see a lot of amazing stuff. If you are interested in the education on the air force this is a good place to see. They even have stuff for the kids and you can take pictures of them sitting in the seats of the planes as well. THANKS

The air museum is a great place to see military airplanes and so much more. Outdoors is a large collection of planes. Indoors, there are displays of uniforms, equipment, plane engines and historical photos. This is a must see experience.they also have vehicles, including a fi Sully restored WW2 Sherman tank.

Super cool museum. Look out for the tank showcasing, very cool to see someone drive the tank on the grass! They also allow you to sit in the cockpit of some fighter jets which is very cool!

This past weekend, My son and I visited the museum, this has been a long time coming, and we were not disappointed. When we walked in, we were quickly greeted by Jim and Sam who gave a quick overview of the museum. Sam became our tourguide explaining about the history of the base and the museum as we traveled through the different eras and exhibits. After we finished the inside, we headed out to the SPAD hanagr, the Air Park, and we were given a tour of the restoration hangar where the Sherman tank lives and they are actively restoring a Corsair. This museum is definitely worth the price of admission for the artifacts, aircraft, and the wealth of knowledge provided by the volunteers. If you are interested in visiting, check out their website for more inforation such as days and hours of availbility. The guards at the base just checked my registration and insurance to make sure they were current, ran a quick background check on my driver's license, and then gave me a pass. Children did not need anything to get on base, just the adults.

A must for anyone! Children especially! With the blatant destruction of our American History, indoctrination, and forced wokness, we as parents need to teach and subject our children our country's true history any chance we get!

Excellent collection of local aviation history. Nicely planned museum. Air park has a wide variety of aircraft. Very reasonably priced and convenient free parking.

It was a very enjoyable experience. They give very detailed tours of 2 different planes. They look us go inside a tank. And they give the kids rides in the old ww2 jeep.

Everyone there was helpful and friendly. Very fun to walk among the collection of planes.

Great Place to visit with friends and families! Museum has many artifacts of interest! Airpark has many aircraft on display, with Two of the larger aircraft, a C-130 & a P-3B Orion Sub-hunter! Visitors can go onboard and receive a guided tour of the heritage of each Aircraft!! Open weekends 1130-430! Google Selfridge Military Museum.

Great history of the base and squadrons. Call ahead of time to get a tour.

Very interesting

Wow no e

Great place to visit and learn.

It's cool if you are in to that subject

Great museum. They have a wide selection of aircraft. The majority is outside so weather may be a factor if you go.

Great history. Definitely something I would do again. Amazing people working there.

Wonderful history with detailed plaques to read as you walk through.

Been a while since I had been there. Still nice look back in history. Nice to talk to some of the service men that flew on the planes to give their stories.

Great Base proud of the heritage

Lots of Michigan aviation history. A must visit!

A great trip through aviation history in Michigan. All branches of the service are represented. Highly recommended.

A wonderful educational visit! They are open on Saturdays noon to 4 Saturdays and Sundays noon to 4 you have to get in through the military guard and tell him where you're going and identify yourself..l air conditioned it was nice and cool in there..we heard a wonderful lecture from Dan Heaton a lieutenant in the air Force.. he has written three books about Selfridge air Force Base, the military. Dan Heaton gave a wonderful speech with a lot of good humor.! Then we also heard from an 80 year old Colonel I think who was in the Tuskegee military! he flew airplanes in the segregated black air Force. He told us wonderful stories about what they did for our country. It was a terrific luncheon I liked every minute of it, all the airplanes, old airplanes... we could walk around, see all different shapes and sizes. Selfridge air Force Base used to be called Selfridge air national guard. It is famous for creating many generals who moved up in the ranks of our nation through the last 80 90 years of the airplane invention in the air Force industry. The Selfridge museum will have a tea again next year, it will be advertised in the Macomb daily. I would recommend everyone go at least once.

Great museum

Wonderful people and place to visit

Great! I enjoyed seeing all the aircraft that I worked on in the late 60s and 70s

A fantastic museum of static display aircraft, lots of military history, even an Army tank, very friendly and helpful people too!

Excellent museum. Very underfunded and underutilized. Could be so much more.. not many people even ones who have lived here all their lives know this place is here.

Totally awesome the men and women i met were very informative

Love visiting military installations. So much history.

Good place to take the whole family.

Great place

If you love military history.

Pretty cool

This is a great place to celebrate aviation history & U.S military service.

Such a wonderful museum

Awesome

Not as large as some aircraft museums that I have visited but still interesting for aircraft formerly assigned there.

Great day for the family, lots of History!

Well maitained, clean well stocked ,friendly service.

Nice little museum

All of the employees were serper friendly and informative. Lots of hands on displays for children and tons of info for the history buff. Loved the outdoor air park and the tour of the huge aircraft was just awesome.

Friendly and welcoming staff. Everyone was so respectful and interested in our Vietnam Vet. The collection of aircraft outside is great and being able to go inside some of the planes is very cool. Don't miss the second building, where a team built a replica of a full-size SPAD XIII. They clearly love to share the experience with visitors.
