Accidentally learned that there was a special air display and show here on Labor Day Weekend, and was so glad we decided to go! Spent all day Saturday exploring history that my dad lived as a member of the USAF from 1938-1963. The hangar displays were packed to the brim and larger than expected, and touring the inside of Doc, the B29 Super Fortress was a thrill. The extra treat of watching the vintage plane fly-overs and air exhibitions were icing on the cake. Would love to see yall add more family-friendly events like these with even more flyovers and exhibits. We would definitely come back!

Fantastic visit. Very informative and pleasant staff. My kids loved it. Lots of military history and beautiful wartime planes, automobiles, helicopters and other really cool memorabilia.

Very cool place and very informative on the great history of this countrys military. B29 was very cool. I think you guys should definitely look into better advertising. This could really open up opportunities for you all. Great place for sure. Son loved it.

Went to their air show saw the B17. Gorgeous plane. Was nice that most of the displays were inside as it was hot. But it was crowded. Nonetheless a great display of wartime vehicles and equipment.

Worth a look. I spent a hour and a half walking around looking at military history. Thank you to the staff and all those that helped keep history alive

The museum is under new direction, and they are all WONDERFUL and fabulous. We rented the space for our wedding, and they were accommodating, helpful, and went above and beyond to make sure our day was special. 10/10 would recommend to anyone looking for a unique space!

If you like airplanes and our history this is a must see. Getting to walk inside a C130 was a thrill for me. This a part of our history all students should see.

Its a very nice little museum with some great displays. Watch their event calendar and you might just get to see some really rare working planes like a B29

The collections are great, and the Museum did a good job preserving most of the planes and vehicles. I especially like the vintage red Packard 120. I wish they have some kind of brochure to introduce the exhibitions and a overview map of the site, also some visual display will be helpful too (eg: video clips).

A great hidden treasure full of history! A stop well worth the small drive off the beaten path.

You can live the history of aviation do the beginning a military flights and defense in which the men gave their lives to protect this country. And since I love this and I am into aviation industry and even if youre not its worth every moment to stop and see!!

This place has some amazing facts...check it out

Drake Field is excellently supplied with equipment covering WWI forward.

Great little musuem with fly-in exhibits from time to time.

Beyond awesome!!!!!!!!! Omg so many cool things and Jeff was our tour guide and his wealth of knowledge was mind blowing

Awesome experience it was..we loved it so much...must go place.

Great little place. You can get right up next to most planes. Great information and friendly staff.

A good place to take the kids

This museum is very quiet and does not have many visitors. Despite that, the exhibits are excellent; most of the aircraft still works and is flown at the air shows. There is a third building now with more military memorabilia from several different wars. This is definitely worth checking out if youre visiting the area.

I hadnt been there since I was a kid. I forgot how fun it was to look at such beautiful airplanes and cars. The staff was very polite and the facility was well maintained. I really enjoyed my visit and seeing some of the interesting planes take off and land from the field was an added bonus. I would definitely recommend this as a great family friendly activity or, a fun place to visit if you have time to spare.

What a great collection of aviation and military exhibits!This was my first time here, volunteering with Open Avenues for the inaugural Soar NWA event.Weather is a bit unfavorable for hot air balloons and skydiving, which were both scheduled for the event. But, a nice, cool, day to enjoy the vendors, car show, live entertainment, and the fantastic museum!

Nice museum if youre interested in old airplanes.

Great place to visit

Lots of awesome aircraft, uniforms, weapons and vehicles to browse and admire. We went to the SOAR NWA event and had a great time with the car show, hot air balloons and vendors as well.

Planes and displays in three hangers and outside. Some unique planes. The staff was very helpful.

I drove my friend Keiana McCoy to this place for a1940s dance at night September, 2019. I It was exciting to see the planes and meet people and friends like Heather Hodge.---My role model in a work place at NWACC(Spring 2018)

Great venue for theater-in-the-round! Very impressive museum for those who love old airplanes and war memorabilia.

I have been to Fayetteville several times but never noticed this place before today. It was well worth the time and $ to stop and go through. Lots of History here.

Very nice museum! We thoroughly enjoyed the exhibits. Both general aviation and military. The girl on duty was extremely courteous and knowledgeable.

The displays were well cared for and the staff was informative. Only disappointing thing was that you couldnt touch anything other than the planes outside. Would have been awesome if they had a plane or two that you could tour or sit inside.

Really great!! Friendly people. Loved the Boeing B-29 and to get to see the cockpit thru a tour.

Amazing

Best experience Ive had in a while. I will return with my son, Another young aviator of the future

Love it, great experience!!

Wonderful museum to visit with very beautiful and prestigious aircraft from our military history. I personally loved seeing a Merlin v12 engine and a p5!

They have a lot of military memorabilia. It was fun to look at the different types of planes that have been used throughout history. Make sure you have an appointment if you want a guided tour. They have volunteers that handle this.

Very informative, very nice exhibits. Hostess was friendly and cordial. Well worth the cost of admission.

Looks like it might be fun, but after driving 4 hours to get here, we find out they arent open on the weekends! Guess we wont get to see the inside anytime soon!

I was amazed at the large collection of military aircraft, vehicles, weapons and gear. I saw Sam Waltons first airplane, German and Japanese weapons from WWII and items from other wars. l liked the military uniforms and patches in building 3. The smell of aviation POL took me back to my days as a military aviator. Id go again.

We really like the museum. We were disappointed that only retired and active military are recognized and given a military discount.A Veteran that honorably served their time should be recognized as well. After all we did serve our country. A Veteran IS a Veteran

Very cool. Kind of expensive. Amazed at the rare aircrafts

Fascinating displays. Friendly staff.

An awesome good time event to spent time with not just family for everyone.

Very interesting to look at war artifacts. Makes you realize the sacrifice those men and women gave to keep this country free.

Very nice museum. Well worth the time.

Sooo Cool! I learned a lot and saw so many memories.

Better than average small town museum. Many of the planes and helicopters are in working order which is nice. It appears to be mainly volunteer supported on a budget so there is no extravagance or fluff. Definitely worth the small price of admission.

Amazing display of aircraft! Lots of history! Wonderful!

It was fun. My boys really enjoyed the museum.

Very cool place to spend a afternoon

Fun to look at all the planes. A wide variety of planes to explore.

Very nice collection of old military aircraft and equipment.

Wonderful museum packed full of great pieces. The price of admission is well worth it, and calling ahead for a free tour is worth it as well.

REALLY. COOL

Loved it there. Nice displays. Not too big.

We had a wonderful time with the children from the church it is good to have a place you can take children and have fun and learn about history. Love this place. A awesome price and staff are very enjoyable.

This place is full of history, and so interesting.

Husband and I went here on the last day of our honeymoon, it was so much fun! He loves anything to do with the military or planes being a veteran so he couldnt get enough! Took tons of pictures and got to see almost everything! Just a very neat place and their collection is amazing!

A nice place to learn history

Really enjoyed the experience

On February 5 we visited the museum. The young lady attentent was very pleasent and extremely accommodating for my husband being in a wheelchair. She enable him to access all of the museum because it was not friendly to his powerchair with lock down. Because pof her assisstance we had a wonderful visit. Thank you.

If your interested in history and planes this is a nice place to go. We were lucky and went on a special weekend, there were extra attractions. $20 for adults

Nice People run this place!

Awesome place to go check out some history. Very friendly staff. Great tour for the price. Enjoyed it and will go back

This must be a recurring thing with the rude lady at the front desk as the other reviewer said. I grew up right in West fork and Greenland and I always remember the old woman being mean at the counter but since then Ive moved away and was visiting with my girlfriend and we really enjoy museums together. Its expanded a ton since I was a young teen but the service provided by the woman was awful. She said shed be closed in 30 minutes and I told her it was OK, I just wanted to walk through and we wouldnt take long. She sighed and said fine. The museum itself holds a ton of pieces from airplanes to weapons and uniforms but nothing that will astonish you. When we were about to leave we were looking around the gift shop and she interrupted us and asked how we heard about the museum and I told her I grew up there and just knew where it was. I drove past it nearly every day of my life. but howd you hear about it? again, I grew up here so I just know where its at so she just scoffs and walks away. I cant imagine that you place getting a lot of business except when an air show comes through. Im sorry we went to your mediocre museum.

Little expensive for what it is but neat to walk around of you have the time to read every exhibit, would be better with some kind of tour or even just an audio tour

Surprisingly good collection@

Very well curated personal and up close.

Lots of military history Im taking some of my army things to them soon to add to the history

A bit on the small side, but my father and husband enjoyed learning more about these aircrafts up close!

It was nice

I love this place!

Great piece of aviation history right here in Fayetteville.

It was just really cool

Amazing area to go to. Lots of interesting things to look at. Really enjoyed it.

Visted here about 1 year ago kids and us loved it coming back soon again a must see lots of very neat war stuff not just Air planes

Great place. All sorts of planes, helicopters, Jeeps, military equipment, and artifacts. I would recommend taking your kids or grandkids, they would thoroughly enjoy.

Very cool place to visit. They have a lot of interesting pieces.

I love how much history is there.

Went to a play there but did look around and its small but theres a lot of history

This is a really neat little gem of a museum!

Great little museum. Lots of history!

Rude, Like the other 2 post said! A total waste of time! It was advertised in paper as free today, also said free outside but she charges $10 a person. No explanation. Another very upset family on vacation was in the parking lot. They said this belongs to the city so nothing can be done. If these people are city employees then I dont think I would want to live in Fayetteville and deal with sort of attitude from their city emploees. A very bad imprsssion of Arkansas for travelers from out of state. They should close this place before more harm is done to Arkansass reputation as friendly and honest people.

I havent received treatment this rude since my last trip to New Orleans. My (clean-cut and relatively quiet) family to see the CAF AirPower History Tour and the lady behind the counter was rude from the very beginning.I wasnt sure where to go once we went through the door, so I told the lady behind the counter that I had brought my family to see the show. Were not doing the family rate this weekend! she said--which would have been fine if she hadnt been so nasty about it. She slammed down my wifes credit card on the counter after she ran it through. Maybe the weekend had worn her out? Not that that is any excuse...She wasnt the only worker her that was rude. But she was our first impression of the place, and he attitude to us was completely unprecedented. We saw the planes and left. I wouldnt have gone to the show if my kids hadnt already been so excited about it. My 4-y.o. son wanted to buy lots of planes and a kite--we will buy them for him, but not from this place!Maybe the large man in the flight suit treats the front desk as badly as he treats families, and she was just passing on the abuse. I dont know. Our entire experience with be place was pretty bad EXCEPT for the CAF crew, who were all very friendly, informative...and actually nice to my kids!

Cool airplanes. Including Waltons.

Drove from oklahoma just to find out it was closed saturday.

Great history

A must see!

Great place

Great little piece of history just a few minutes from downtown Fayetteville
