5 reviews for Cradle of Aviation Museum
Great Museum! Pleasantly surprised at how big it was and how much it contained. Me and my brother took my dad for Father's Day - and the two of them - they were like kids at Christmas!
We took a tour from a volunteer and it was about an hour and really went from the first flight through to space missions. It was great and very insightful - I would recommend taking a tour - you really learn some interesting things you wouldn't have learned on your own.
Everything is laid out and put together really well. They have other things planned but apparently need more financing to really finish off the exhibits. Most are done and look great!
You can get into some cockpits and look at others through plexiglass. There are some interactive things too - as well as a few movies that you can view from various areas of the musuem.
I didn't eat at the Red Planet Cafe when I went - but it had decent options at decent prices - for all eating tastes. I was pretty suprised it was not just franks and burgers. They had: burgers, fish and chips, fries, onion rings, veggie burgers, grilled cheese, salads, pizza, cookies, and some other stuff too. So it is probably worth it to grab a snack here. I probably will next time that I go.
I really learned SOOO much - it was really great.. I would highly recommend a trip to this musuem.
I arrived here 1 1/2 hours before our IMAX movie began and the line must have been 40 people long which would already consist of the best seats in the theater.
Theater seating is small and the screen is huge. So what that pretty much means if you are not on seating any where near the top get ready for some neck cramps and possible nausea.
Overall pretty clean theater and movies begin with out any previews.
Just some advice if you are there for a hit blockbuster movie get there at least 2 hours early for a good seat. Trust me!!

Air & Space museum.
I totally forget this place is here and how decent it is. Great collection of, you guessed it, air and space relics and historic craft - and there is an Imax theater in there as well.
You have to love the F-11 that is suspended overhead when you first walk in- I think it was an old Blue Angels craft. Additionally, there are all sorts of other things hanging from the ceiling - and plenty to see all around the place.
There is more in an adjacent building and a cafe of sorts on the premises.
Plenty of parking available.

Great interactive exhibits from hot air balloon operations, jet engines and wing lift.
Very insightful, Knowledgeable onsite staff and also giving tours. You can walk around by yourself for hours and there is books of knowledge including explorative new space moon rocks.
Recommended for a day with children's to help explore life goals.

This museum is small yet filled with historic air planes. There are some planes where guests can actually sit at the pilot's seat and pose for photos. Disapppointedly there is no film or documentary about the importance of air planes in the aviation history.
