    This is the first air museum I feel is on the border of being a museum or should be called a collection. The main lobby has some historical artifics for the flying history of the area. There are some models on display along with a book reading area. The main hanger has only a few aircraft, with some of them still air worthy. The collection is a few trainers, a hawker hunter in a disheveled state, two Russian planes in the tarmac you can get one to, and an F14 on loan from the navy. For the price of admission, it was a disappointment for what was offered.

    The guy with white hair and white beard that you see when you arrive is the antithesis of what it should be. Since we arrived at this deserted museum -we were two couples of older adults- this guy was upset that we were interrupting his reading, maximum verbal economy bordering on hostility. The website says that adults over 60 pay $7, he limited himself to stammering that said website was outdated, that it wasn't $7 but $10. Although we spoke to him in English, at one point we spoke to each other in Spanish -we are of Hispanic origin-, that upset our friend even more and he made us notice accentuating his pouting face (racism? xenophobia? both?). The museum itself is small, a hangar, and needs maintenance, but it's interesting and different, it could be a memorable visit if they throw that guy out there, he's like a spy for the competition whose mission is to scare away visitors.

    It’s a small museum but there is still lots to see. If you love planes you should visit this place. All the planes are privately owned and are functioning, even the fighter jet. I just wish you could get closer to them. I gave it four stars because it’s great to be there to see the planes but there isn’t much interactive experience happening. It’s a look don’t touch type. I’m sure it’s better if and when they have events. If you love aviation, planes, and it’s history this is a place to have to go. I plan to go back.

    What a lovely place hidden away. My wife brought me here on a detour from all the birthday stuff I planned for her. Small hangar with a lot of living history. First time ever seeing an F-14 in person and man was it huge. This is coming from someone that works around modern fighter aircraft. Find some time to come in here. Its well worth it.

    Very interesting and quite assorted collection of vintage aircraft, including originals, replicas and scale models under the same roof. Not like a convencional touristic activity, but definitely something to appreciate if you’re into military history. Of course is a little dusty and dark in some areas, maybe is part of the vintage vibe... I would say it can use some improvements in that matter, but other than that I think is worth the $15. Thank you 🙏🏻

    My review of the museum is that it is a decent but small museum. They have one of the last F-14D’s that flew with the US Navy on display and she is in pretty good condition. She was the reason for my visit and she was well worth the admission fee of $15. The museum volunteers were friendly and helpful. Unfortunately those same qualities weren’t shared by the management… Now for my review of the management. The management of the museum has a “No camera” policy. You can only photograph with your phone. If you want to use your camera they will want to charge you $300. Frankly this is absurd and hurts the museum in a number of ways. 1. It ensure that only “phone quality” pictures are available to see online. 2. It alienates your customer base. The aviation photography community tends to know each other, and we talk. Being known as the museum that charges $300 to bring in a camera is not conducive to building your business. If anything it hurts it. I understand that museums have been hit hard since Covid and that many are struggling to survive. Trying to milk an extra $300 from your customers is not the way to fix this. You should be working with the aviation community to portray and promote your museum in a good light. I’m willing to pay for admission. Hell, I even left a $20 donation, but I am not willing to be extorted for $300 to take photos with a camera. Your museum deserves better.

    At first I was excited to come here with my dad. It seemed like a wonderful place however my treatment upon arrival was sub par at best. The website states a 10 dollar fee for adults. We were both charged 15 dollars each after going back and forth arguing with the manager about the price. Also I had to leave my camera in the car because i was told it’s 300 dollars an hour to photograph ubsurd! What are they thinking? The staff working on the airplanes are very friendly and knowledgeable but that’s where the positives end. You can see everything in 5 minutes... everything is covered in thick layers of dust I just would not recommend it.

  • 4/5 R “Terry Hanson” O. 1 year ago on Google • 245 reviews
    Pretty interesting for people who like aviation and also pretty quick. It’s not really fair to expect hundreds of airplanes. But you can get through it in 15 minutes. It would be nice if they had some information stands talking more about the airplanes, wars they weee used in, capabilities etc. It would lengthen out the tour. Maybe some video documentaries on the airplanes too? Either way the planes are in great shape. Also the front of the museum is interesting, the owner really moves model airplanes. It was nice walking around checking them out. It’s worth checking out. Also if you go here check out the bay of pigs memorial on the way there.

    Wow this might be the most lackluster museum I’ve ever been to. Save your money do not come here. You will be very disappointed. If you’re looking for a decent quality small museum on top of that website said it was $10 per person I had to place it was 15 definitely not worth $15 wouldn’t even pay five.

    A pretty impressive display of planes and in-depth history of Boeing and the aviation industry. I particularly enjoyed the NASA section with the lunar buggy and the Apollo display. I found the exhibit to be a bit disorganized and overwhelming and lacking direction. Overall enjoyable but more guides would be helpful. It's a bit far away from the city so it might be difficult to visit via public transport.

    Very Very small. Everything is in one hangar., with the F14 taking up 1/4 or the hangar. You can see all A/C on website and at your local airport for most of them. Not worth the $10 to see 7 aircraft. Signs were not with the correct aircraft.

    Horrible place. Small and expensive as well as very dirty. The guy in charge was an extremely rude. I paid $ 50 for 5 minutes at the place. And the rates that I paid weren't even accurate to the ones shown in the website. Overall, this place is a scam and I don't recommend it at all.

    Hate to leave negative reviews but I drove an hour to get here and it just was so not worth it. The F14 is the only cool thing. It is more of an old hanger with about 5 planes more than it is museum. If you're not far, see for yourself

    Drove 55 miles with my 5 year old son because he wanted to see the museum. When we got there there was a hand written sign on the door that said they were closed for an event. Bunch of people inside eating, but I couldn't bring my 5 year old to look at the planes. Very unfortunate. I hope they enjoyed their event.

    Small little museum. It’s a little dusty and a bit dated. However, the items are nice nothing to fancy. They do model the experience as if you are in war which is a nice touch. They do have some airplane models on sale. Overall not to bad. I was surprised that it costed $20 for two people given the amount of content. But not the worst price.

    I was not thrilled by the $15 entrance fee given the 10 minute walk around the small hanger. However, I understand these air museums typically depend on patron revenue to maintain their aircraft which results in the high price.

  • 1/5 Stephen Y. 1 month ago on Google • 15 reviews New
    A piddly little air museum in which they don't even allow you to walk up to the airplanes; they have you on a roped-off path that keeps you at a notable distance from the planes. There was signage saying "Pease stay between ropes" and "Please do not touch aircraft" at so many locations that you felt like you could barely breathe without the owners being worried about you hurting their planes. Speaking of signage, placards regarding the planes were missing for probably 1/3 of the planes. We've been to several air museums in the last few years, and this was by far the most disappointing. Save your money and time - avoid this one.

  • 2/5 B P. 1 year ago on Google
    The $15 entrance fee seemed steep for what only amounted to a self guided walk around a small hanger to read informational plaques about some of the planes.

  • 2/5 Daniel S. 1 year ago on Google
    It is very small and a bit outdated. entry costs 15 dollar per adult and there is really little to do so the price does not match what you get in my opinion. They have real working oldtimer planes that are cool seeing plus real mechanics that restore them. I had a nice talk as I was the only guest. I love planes but besides seeing a few flight ready, there is little else to see. Not even free wifi to google some more background infos or so 🙈

    It's not a good sign when it's a Saturday afternoon 2 hours before it close and the parking lot to your museum is mostly empty. This Museum exhibit could profit from investing in some lighting. Also some of the aircraft need to be housed and displayed better it was very cramped. The admission price was $15 but the value for the ticket was about $5 I recommend it in buying a new hanger maybe three hangers of that size to house the aircraft that they need you really can't walk around them I understand that their airworthy aircraft but it looks like somebody's garage or rather somebody's crowded closet than it does a first class Museum

    Unfortunately a very small museum, though it does contain a few very interesting aircrafts.

  • 1/5 ANTHONY T. 2 years ago on Google
    This was a very small museum. It probably has 12 planes at the most. You can see it in about half an hour. It took me longer to drive there than to see the museum. To me it was a waste of time.

  • 2/5 Mauricio M. 2 years ago on Google
    Not my favorite museum, doesn't have many planes, they do have lots of model planes. I highly recommend visiting the aviation museum in Layton , Utah, that museum will blow your mind, and it's free, you donate if you want.

  • 5/5 Victor J (. 2 years ago on Google
    Amazing little museum hidden away :) I loved going here and seeing all this planes in display, I am also looking forward to some planes that were outside on the tarmac waiting restoration to be on display! If you love planes and have some time to spare its a great place.

  • 3/5 Renny D. 2 years ago on Google
    Second time for me, the first time was more amusing since there was an exhibition of custom cars. What I love about this museum is to be so close and be able to touch an F-14 Tomcat. And then all other aircrafts, including the german and japanese. Prepare for the heat of Florida because the hangar is not ACd or visit in winter.

    The museum is nice, only a bit small. Not many airplanes to see.
