This review will be a bit biased as im a massive WWII nut but you need to visit this place. This is one of the coolest and most in depth Air Force museums I’ve ever seen. The detail is incredible and the artifacts not the mention planes on display are incredible. It took quite a few hours to walk through so i would recommend coming early. There are many exhibits so be sure not to burn yourself out quickly. If you are blown away by what our military did during the great war this is a must see

Air force veteran? Military buff? History buff? Just love seeing cool old planes? This museum covers all those bases and more! Well thought out and emotionally moving from the second you pass the ticket counter. The gentleman that were in the museum explaining the parts of the plane were excellent (big shout out to Marvin!) Plan on spending some time here, we spent about 4 hours and still missed a few things. The memorial gardens out back are beautiful, the replica church is amazing.

Great information and great tours by very knowledgeable people who give you a sense of being there in the airplanes over England. The multimedia only serves to enhance the experience. Memorial gardens serve as a reminder of how many people gave their lives for our freedom. Great experience they even have a fairly realistic English pub to enjoy a meal with people who are restoration of many of planes, experiences and people who may even have served.

Our family came to visit on a Thursday morning with our home school group and got a guided tour. It was Awesome, our guide was very nice, knowledgeable, and entertaining and we are actually looking forward to coming back in the future. There is Sooooo much to see, do, and learn and you can easily spend the day here looking around, learning and reading all the posted stories and listening to the Volunteers. We are Very excited to see the expansion get underway and hopefully completed by sometime in 2025 so we can come back again to enjoy it all over again.

We went for the stem day. It was so much fun. The exhibits are great. My favorite was the replica house of the resistance. It was so imersive and interesting. The planes are really cool. The memorial gardens are beautiful.

Nice and detailed museum talking about the great army aviation unit that heroically operated during WWII. They have very rich artifacts and relics related to the unit and the history of WWII Europe bombardment operations. The mission briefing secession is a must go, worth the time. And they said they are planning for a renew of the museum next year or later, definitely will be back after that.

This is a must visit. Lots of items in this museum you only can see here. More Air Force items than the WWII Museum. Complete history of all the bomb groups and fighter groups. Well displayed. You need 3-4 hours to see it all. We stopped by while in Savannah on our way to Florida.

I really enjoyed the displays. Unfortunately the A/C was anemic throughout the building, except for the art gallery. The memorial garden outside was very nice! Great B-47...I can see Brigadier General Jimmy Stewart now!

Im not into this stuff, but my husband is. Hes wanted to come here for years, and we finally made it. I think i enjoyed it more than him, but it was ok. Dont regret it for the price. Hes an airplane nut, and i think he expected it to be more about the planes and less about everything else.

Really great place. The staff is really involved and very knowledgeable. Don’t miss the “briefing”. I arrived in the afternoon. It would have been better to have arrived earlier in the day. There is lots to do and see! The mock up of a home that was used to help downed airmen escape was really interesting and a must see. I never did find the hidden numbers though.

A really great museum with really nice staff! Lots to see and learn about and several wonderful aircraft. Gift shop was lovely as well. Definitely worth a visit if you're in the area.

Was an amazing experience. You can go at your own pace or you can get a tour. The tour guide was very educated and walked at a good pace throughout the museum. Allowed questions and provide different insight on the displays.

Very nice museum. The best preserved B-17 bomber of the US! Even if you are not an Air Force enthusiastic it will be a very interesting visit to understand the WWII history. It simulates a bombing mission including the briefing and preparation. Very immersive and interesting. If you are visiting Savannah do not kiss this place. All the staff is very nice and passionate. Lot of very interesting stories and anecdotes from them!!! I am traveling around Americas and Europe. If you want to know lots of very interesting places follow me in Google.

Definitely a great museum! There is something around every corner and it's filled with amazing history and artifacts. We spent 3 hours exploring the museum, but you could definitely spend longer.

Extensive love letter to one of history's most famous air units. Great museum with seemingly endless alcoves and exhibits honoring every element of its long legacy.

Great place to visit. It is a must place to see for the family or just yourself. Appreciate & honor our fallen heroes men & women. Form the outside looks small, but pretty big & you still have the outside to do.

I have driven past this museum on several occasions and on spotting the B47 parked outside the building thought that I should go there one day. This was the day and I am so pleased we made the time. It is quite extraordinary. As a person of British origin but now a US citizen, this relates to both "my" pasts and brings them together to tell a story of extraordinary heroism, sacrifice and achievement. I used to fly in the UK and often would fly above the remnants of old WW2 airfields, both British and US, made plain by the standard triangle of runways or at least their remnants in fields that have been reclaimed by nature or farmers. Just as when one flies in that corner of South East England that is the hallowed airspace where the Battle of Britain was fought, so as you pass over these fields or visit them to see little memorials on the ground, there is a feeling that brave men did great deeds which we still benefit from. There is part of one of the displays that lights up to show where all the Eighth Airforce related establishments were. You can see why they needed so many of them as the Eighth grew from nine officers to over three hundred thousand officers and enlisted men. This museum tells their stories. It speaks to both the glory and tragedy that comes from modern warfare and clearly details how the Mighty Eighth contributed to the downfall of the Axis powers in Europe. It tells the story on both a grand and a personal scale. For me the succession of A2 aircrew jackets with artwork on the back in so many display cases feel like something I could relate to easily. I bought one back in the 80s, a very good one made to exactly the same specification as those in WW2 and they are a very personal garment. Each of those was worn by a very brave man, many of whom would have to conquer their fears anew each time as they got into their planes for the long ride ahead into some of the most tenaciously defended airspace in the world. They would have to do these twenty-five to thirty times before they could go back home and those first few missions had appalling odds of survival. Please go to this museum, it is an essential part of US and free world history. It is worth stopping at and not driving by and I for one am so pleased we pulled in.

Stopped by this museum on the way to Savannah and thoroughly enjoyed it. I would recommend at least 2 hours for the average visitors and at least 4 hours for the avid history buff.

For years I have driven by this Museum while traveling north & south bound on I-95 wondering what it was like. Finally had the opportunity to stop and check it out. Inside you can learn the history of the 8th Air Force though films, artifacts, and knowledgeable volunteers. The main attraction was an actual B-17, but unfortunately the inside was off limits. Don't expect a large all encompassing aviation museum. This was just the right length of time without reading all the factoids. If in the area plan on stopping by to check out a bit of real history. On a side note there's a really good restaurant inside if you find yourself getting hungry.

Great history of the Mighty Eighth. Lots of displays. Excellent place to visit. Allow at least 1.5 hours to thoroughly enjoy your experience.

wonderful museum! I’m truck driver and I stopped in Savannah because my truck broke down, I decided to visit this aviation museum while my was in repair,and I am very glad that I did it! Very interesting and educational! I recommend for visiting! Thank you)

Amazing history lesson for all ages about the amazing industrial war machine the US assembled during the second world War. Also many great exhibits about those who helped allied soldiers escape when shot down behind enemy lines. Wonderful museum!

Very impressive. A lot of exhibits, all well done. The B-17 is awesome. For me, the highlight is the memorial garden and chapel. Beautiful and sobering.

If you love military history and are anywhere near Savannah, swing over to Pooler and stop in to the Mighty 8th. You won't regret it. The timeline walk-thru is incredible, and the displays are well thought out and so informative. They have a way of making you feel like you were there, with the movies and room set-ups. If it is a nice day, take a walk in the garden & visit the chapel. The Chapel reminded us of our time in England. The stained glass is breathtaking. This is hands down, one of my favorite museums! Oh and to top it off, everyone that we interacted with that works there was so friendly. My kids love the gift shop.

🪖 Out with Pop's Grillin' 🪖 We had a fantastic time at the @mighty8thmuseum, which was Presented By Memorial Health University Medical Center !!

This is a great museum. Focused on a narrow period of history, it communicates accurately and in detail. Staff and volunteers are incredible. Stop by if you’re around, and plan a trip if you’re not.
