AMC Museum is another historical treasure in the First State. We visit often and especially enjoy the annual Wings n Wheels car show each summer. A must see in Dover!

Delaware is small but we have what it takes. We travel to Dover Air Mobility Museum about two times a year with our grandson. He loves the up close and personal wth the airplanes. You can walk through some, touch, use a simulator, visit the control tower (watch the C-5"s from the air base take off), and listen to the... More

My family stopped here on the way to Ocean City from PA, planned on spending an hour or so and ended up staying for three hours. Had lots of fun climbing into some of the planes and taking photos. We spent some time in the air tower and talking to retired servicemen and pilots. My only suggestion would be to... More

We visited in early April '12 with a group of adults of children ranging from ages 4,7,11,16. With children you probably can spend a max of 2 hours; for adults you can spend more. The guides are retired servicemen themselves with a wealth of stories and information. The younger kids were thrilled at the opportunity to enter an army aircraft... More

We organized a guided tour for approximately 12 of us, all in Civil Air Patrol. Our guides, Bill & M. Bright were excellent and very knowledgeable. A guided tour is definately the best option to learn the most about all the fantastic aircraft there...and there are a lot! Its great that some of the aircraft are open when the weather... More

My wife brought me to the Air Mobility Command Museum. It has an excellent display of transport aircraft from various US services, but primarily the US Air Force. Anyone with an interest in military aircraft will love seeing old birds like a KC-97L, C-121, C-124, and C-47 up close. You can even enter some aircraft - either by yourself or... More
