The Museum of Flight is a world class collection of space and flight memorabilia. As a first time visitor I spend over four hours exploring the various galleries and easily could have spent a lot longer. Not only is there an impressive collection of aircraft on display, but also a huge number of films, and interactive exhibits. There's enough here... more

We had planned to skip this attraction, but a Seattle 'locale' and his enthusiastic endorsement of the museum caused us to change our plans. And we're delighted we did. This is spectacular, even if you aren't an airplane enthusiast. If you are an enthusiast, you'll need a full day to enjoy the Museum of Flight. If you're not an enthusiast,... more

I have to say that this was definitely a MUST SEE all day attraction. I took the public bus #124 down there and back (real easy from the downtown transit tunnel, under $2 each way and under 30 min). I got to climb aboard the original Air Force One jet, a real Concorde supersonic aircraft, try a few Space Craft... more

Outside over an airbridge are the first 737, the first 747, a Concorde, an old Air Force One and a 707. You can go inside the Concorde and Air Force... more

This is what not only a flight, but a specialty museum should be. They leave you wanting nothing in regards to the particular genre you are examining, in this case flight. Here, you learn about the history of flight, the Boeing company, WWI and WWII, and space travel. The museum is divided into several sections, and I will spend a... more

I must say when I decided to go here with my husband I thought I'd be bored out of my mind...just not my cup of tea. But I actually enjoyed the Museum of Flight. There is something for everyone and all age groups seemed to be enjoying themselves. It wasn't very crowded on the day we went (Sunday). There's a... more

We attended the finale event for the International Tradesmarks Assocation on May 20, which was held at the Museum. Unfortunately, so did several thousand others, so that we were not able to properly tour this remarkable facilty. Lots of people eating and drinking made it impossible. What we saw was outstanding.This comprehensive museum takes one from the early days of... more

The Museum of Flight is based at Boeing Field airfield, just south of Downtown Seattle. The airield is a working airfield, with lots of light aircraft, some civil / freight jets, and new Boeing jets frequently landing or taking off. The Museum has an excellent collection of WWI, WW2, and postwar military aircraft, as well as a genuine Concorde, the... more

Honestly I found it a bit over-rated. The nice parts are the opportunity to walk inside a Concorde and an older Air Force One. Our seven year old son just skipped through the exhibits. We went because we bought a City Pass and got entry into 6 attractions for $54, and this was one of them... more
