Fantastic museum. So many exhibits. You will either need to come back or spend many hours here to see it all. Went during Easter break. Probably not recommended. It was extremely crowded. But we took a break and came back later in the day (the museum was open for summer hours). We practically had the whole museum to ourselves then.... more

Comprehensive look into the history of aviation and space travel in the USA. Highlights include many famous planes like the Spirit of St. Louis and being able to go into the cockpit of a 747. Museum is free and always very crowded so be prepared for it! Try to avoid going on school holidays if possible! Do not plan to... more

A MUST SEE...take a simulator ride while you are there more

Everytime I get to DC, I stop at the Air & Space Museum. Fortunately when I went this time, the entire Museum was closed to the public and only open to my group (over 1,000 people). That was really cool. Next time I'm in the area, I'll have to find my way to Dulles Airport and the Steven F. Udvar-Hazy... more

This museum is a must see during your visit to the DC area. Working in the airline industry it holds a special place in my heart. But how can you not love aviation!? This Museum has it all, from early flight to the Space Shuttle and beyond. You will not be disappointed. You can lose yourself for hours in this... more

I was excited to see this museum, but have to admit that I was a bit disappointed. I guess I'm more of a space gal, so all the airplanes didn't do a lot for me. There didn't seem to be a lot of space stuff there, and apparently a lot of the big items, like a replica Space Shuttle, were... more

Visited this museum for the 3rd time - 1st time was in 1976, then again in 1998. Love this place. Never fails to inspire. Each time it has been different. Loved the picture gallery with paintings by the lunar astronaut Alan Bean. Can see why so many people visit this museum. Fabulous!! more

We went yesterday. We had a long line to get in because they only had two xray machines going, but I saw at least another two just not being used. Maybe I am jaded because I have have visited NASA in Cape Canaveral, Greenbelt and the new Air and Space out by the Dulles Airport all within the past year,... more

My wife and I really enjoyed this museum. We took about 3 hours to go through it and we saw everything we wanted to see. We did not see any of the Imax movies or do any of the simulators because we had out 9 month old with us. We took time to see the really cool things like the... more
