    I absolutely loved visiting the Aviation Hall of Fame. Your experience starts off by watching a nine minute informative video on what you are going to see at all the exhibits. After the video you are free to wonder around the first floor, the second floor and see the planes they have on display outside. Ralph the Executive Director was extremely kind and truly wanted to make sure that we had the best experience possible. He knew so much about the history of aviation in the Garden State. Thank you so much Ralph for making our visit great!!

    well ! we came by car from Florida. My husband wanted to make a stop to remember where his father together with a group of friends created an aviation club, it was the thirties! So let's see the big changes here and remember! We also visited the house of Donald Deem, his grandfather, who is still there, but what used to be the patio is now a neighborhood with more houses.

    This is a great local aviation museum that represents aviation and its contribution by New Jersey natives. A short 10 minute movie in the beginning is very educational and informative. Two floors of exhibits including Hands on simulators. Outdoor area has several cool aircraft and one crash rescue truck. $9 adult. $7 children Small souvenir shop.

    Small museum but it is packed with history. Staff was very nice and shared so many insights and details with us about what was on display. Due to COVID, we had the place to ourselves and essentially a personal guide which made our visit here even more special. If you enjoy aviation history, I highly recommend taking the drive here to check out the displays.

    Small museum with excellent and friendly staff. Well worth going to if you are anywhere near the area or passing by. I enjoyed playing with some of their working aircraft models, those that flew in place or in a circle. I wished their simulators could offer a simulated experience of training flights.

    My husband brought me here for a date because he knows how much I love aviation and it was awesome! The staff are really sweet and fun to talk to, the museum is really worthwhile to visit, especially for kids, because there are many kid-friendly interactive displays for educational learning. There's a lot of information about the history of women aviators, which I found very inspiring and motivational. The Hall of Fame has amazing, legendary stories that people should really learn about (Do make a reservation on their website before coming in). Also the restrooms are nice and clean. The gift shop has some pretty cool stuff, including collector plane models and aeroplane jewellery, keychains, etc.

    The gentlemen working there clearly enjoy their work. They were kind and informative and helped me around in the beginning with my 3 kiddos. Wonderful little place with lots of little hands on exhibits. Well worth the trip!

    Really cool place to see history of helicopters and planes used in US military and Aviation. As a veteran I brought my service dog I had at the time and it was a great experience. The staff was very friendly and would definitely recommend to stop by for a quick little trip. If you have kids they would absolutely have a blast here also watching the planes land at the airport!

    Great educational resource! Lots of hands on options. Rich history of women in aviation as well as African American aviation. NJ in space section. Loved the actual airplane that kids can climb in and "drive".

    Interesting, historical "tidbits" here. Especially interesting to see the influence New Jersey has had on aviation history. Staff has a sincere passion for their subject. The plane landings and takeoffs from nearby Teterboro only add to the entire experience!

    WOW! What an amazing trip for the whole family!! Such a FUN museum, SO MANY things to play with, learn, and explore!!! I would recommend this to anyone, regardless of what you think you know, you will learn A LOT! Don't get stuck in one room; every exhibit is fascinating! We all LOVED it and were so lucky and fascinated , from 19 to 53 to even a 2 year old!!! Well worth the entry free and even a donation. WOW!

    There are some interesting things here and I was pleased with my photographs but I really did not want to be guided round. The outside exhibits could have smarter information boards.
