A pretty nice museum. Not just for kids. Small kids, big kids, adult kids! Give yourself a couple of hours to see it all.

One need not enjoy aircraft to enjoy Cavanaugh's. Well laid out, clean. Most enjoyable.

Great museum with lots of planes to see. Wonderfully restored planes in 4 separate hangars. We loved it and so did our kids (ages 10 and 7).
