Visited this museum while on my first trip to Seattle this past week. I am so glad I did as it was honestly the best museum I have ever been to anywhere in the world! I spent about 3 hours walking around, learning, exploring, and climbing aboard my most favorite aircraft of the past, and present! The best part was, the museum focuses on not only commercial aviation, but also space exploration and I was able to gain insight into so much just by having gone!! This is such a wonderful, and family friendly, cost efficient visit, that I would encourage anyone and everyone to visit while visiting the Seattle area! You will not regret it!

Top notch museum caters to folks of all ages and approaches the subject from many different angles. Little kids get hands on time working the controls of real planes in the play area. The exhibits display a world class collection of aircraft, spacecraft, and artifacts and present them with historical context. I particularly like the “Personal Courage” wing which tells the stories of WWI and WWII aviation in an immersive setting with some amazing planes. They even touch on the horror of trench warfare in an impactful way. This part may be too intense for some youngsters. Hands down my favorite museum in the area.

I love this place! I hadn't been here in years before we took the kids yesterday and I was blown away! The war exhibits were new to me and I could have spent hours in there. I'll definitely be back (probably by myself) to read and see everything.

Connie. What more can I say. Alright, there is more to it than that. The Museum of flight has various buildings with aircraft including aircraft used in WWI, WW2 and space. My personal favorite building is the WWI and WW2 building. In addition to having real aircraft from these events, they also have the most amazing model collection where you can see airplanes you've probably never heard of. Check it out, it's worth it!

We had a great time and spent most of the day here. There are so many great exhibits to explore that it's easy to not see everything. Today was the free admission through the Smithsonian Museum system. Even though there were a lot of people in attendance the Museum of Flight's buildings are large enough to make it seem not too crowded.
