Absolutely fantastic! Best Air Museum on the west coast. Very knowledgeable docents, well laid out, super displays.

Really enjoyed our visit here. It exceeded my expectations in the scope of the collection. It was well presented with plenty of background material. I felt I learned some new things which is always nice. Didnt get a chance to engage any of the docents.

Awesome museum, very much worth a visit. We plan to return again for a guided tour (you can reserve a tour of 1 hour to 5 hours in length). You can also experience a flight on a historic plane fly an extra fee. Overall, very informative and interesting museum. Plan to spend a few hours.

Very Unexpected pleasant surprise. Was very impressed by all the aircraft and the kindness of the staff who gladly showed me around and gave me a free guided tour

Came here today for an early flight in a T-28 Trojan. Rob was extremely kind and welcomed us in and guided us to Ian, who was a good mentor and guide. Then we had the pleasure of one by one flying with pilot Mike. It’s places and experiences like these that make life worth living. Would come again.

Lots to see and read!! Great place to spend some family time during covid. Mostly outside or almost outside. Very informative museum

A rather nice collection of warbirds ranging from World War II all the way through the Vietnam and Korea War. The price is a bit high for admission but you are in California with high taxes and high wages. If you have a service dog one of the restaurant Personnel was a little put out that we had her in the patio dining style area with us. They also do not follow the state mandate for wearing a mask. If you have a medical condition they still require you to wear one which can make its quite uncomfortable for somebody like myself when it gets very hard to breathe

Great history lesson from enthusiastic docents! Preserving history.

I absolutely love this air museum. The staffs and volunteers are super helpful, patient and friendly. They gave me a lot of tips and suggestions to help me get started! I understand some of them are veterans and former service members. The exhibition has 4 major sections each feature a specific theater and theme. Theres a ton of history, stories and people to be discovered. Of course a huge number of planes large and small. Also a lot of relics and historical items on shelves. Air craft carriers models are fun to check out too! There a good amount of exhibition dedicated to the important role women and people of color played during that wars. I spent 3 hours there and had a lot of fun. I highly recommend this place to everyone!

Every thing was So much fun. Met many people I have served . Just a delightful place to be and I know Ill be there again soon. Dr.Sever was an ear full of information. My friend and I lived in the Bay Area.So much fun to watch the take offs and gas ups too.

Fantastic museum full of history and retired planes. You could easily spend a day reading all the historical information throughout the exhibits. The staff are mostly volunteers, super friendly, and always happy to answer questions. Theres also a couple flight simulator setups on the second floor you can try out, as well as lots of old original periodicals (Life magazine) from decades ago.

A very enlightening wonderful experience at a very reasonable price. Lots to learn about history in America and abroad

A vast collection centered on war planes (and land vehicles) from the 1940s and beyond.

Very nice museum of World War II and Cold War Vietnam War aircraft. But do it in the fall or winter when it is cooler! :-)

A must stop when in palm springs, kids had a blast!

Much better that I expected. A fantastic journey of aviation from WWI through present day! Lots of side exhibits worth taking a look at. Try to avoid in the summer as it is crazy HOT but doable. A great museum!!

Incredible experience at the Palm Springs Air Museum. There are real old pilots, volunteering to give more information to visitors about history and plane specs. Covering multi generation time span, it features so many planes and helicopters. If you like aviation this is a must!

A truly incredible Air Museum. The Palm Springs Air Museum is ranked as the #14 best air museum in the world and for a good reason. This museum mainly focuses on the various wars which took place in the mid 1900s each hanger is designated to a specific war/time period. Since the air museum is located right next to Palm Springs Air Museum you get to watch commerical flights take off as well. I was even able to see a current military helicopter take flight from the museum. There is plenty to see and you could easily spend two hours here or all day seeing everything this museum offers. Well worth a visit if interested in machinery, aircraft, or military history.

Nice place for those who loves fighter jets and stories about the WW. there is a free admission for kids under 12 yrs now. Either go in the early morning or late to avoid high temp. Not everything is open there like the simulator and kids part, but open for normal show.

Outstanding air museum in Palm Springs, California. This museum offers 100s of display aircraft and vehicles. Very impressive collection and wonderful staff! Close to food, hotels, and shopping. A++

It was super hot but it was really good because I love learning about history

This museum has an impressive collection of historic aircraft from WWl and II as well as from the Vietnam war. There are a lot of volunteers working there that are veterans which is amazing as their stories and added information adds so much more to the experience.It’s a bit pricey to enter but if you are interested in history and aircraft in general, this is a must go.

Amazing museum!! So much history, and lots of planes to marvel over. Brief plaques of description of each exhibit makes the palm springs air museum a must stop. A nice gift shope with plenty of souvenirs to make your stop memorable.

Really great museum. They have lots of very cool airplane displays.

The Palm Springs Air Museum, located in the scenic and historical community of Palm Springs,California,is an excellent military and commercial aircraft museum,restoration facilty and library dedicated to famous aircraft and the history thereof.There is a theatre regularly showing vintage and current aircraft and military films and documentaries,a great cafe and most of the courteous staff are ex-military and very knowledgeable and share great facts,figures and stories with visitors!Family friendly,lots of free parking,family friendly and adjacent to the Palm Springs International airport.A must see when in Palm Springs,California!....#palmsprings #palmspringsairmuseum #airplanes #navy # airforce #marines #coastgaurd #army # californiadreaming #californiadreamin #waynesalvatti #photografxworldwide #visitpalmsprings #iloveairplanes

An amazing experience, with very friendly and knowledgeable volunteers. Highly recommend visiting!

Amazing place. Always first class staff and events. My wife and I came back for the memorial day event. Everyone is helpful and its a lot of fun. The planes are so great. I have one suggestion though. The food made available during the event was not good, and it was difficult to get too because of the amount of people. I would suggest allowing food trucks to come in, park in a line and allow them to sell food. It would work much better. We will be back, love the museum and everything you do!

A treat for all you warplane enthusiasts! Great static displays out on the tarmac, as well as interesting ones of all kinds inside the museum. The docents are very knowledgeable and great with the visitors. I had a great visit there!

3 different air combat periods. WW2, Korean conflict and Vietnam war. Large inventory of Jets and fighter planes including bombers. The famous B-17 bomber and historical displays. Some miniature ships that were used in all wars. A very important place to visit.

Nice little museum with lots of aircraft to explore, both inside and out on the runway. Main focus on WWII, Korean and Vietnam conflicts with some amazingly restored exhibits. Kept us adults entertained and also our 3 year old son. Would recommend if youre in the area and a plane fan too

We were really impressed with the museum. The displays were very well done for the WW2 hanger and very informative with lots of artifacts. My 16 yr old daughter and her friend got totally lost in the history! They spent more time reading everything than I did!! My only suggestion would be to work in the Vietnam hanger as that was very lacking and was sparse, considering the amount of Vietnam vets I saw at the museum I would have thought it would have had a larger emphasis. All the staff were very friendly and clearly very passionate about sharing with visitors. Having a WW2 spitfire that you can touch and feel was a highlight for me!

Fabulous museum! Such a wide variety of aircraft in excellent condition, very cool to be next to the airport runway, planes were outdoors as well as indoors. Wonderful exhibits, so well prepared and creatively designed. Docents were outstanding!!!! So well informed, friendly, enthusiastic, a true joy to spend time with them. The museum also offers select opportunities to fly in certain planes for varying fees. Plan to spend a minimum of 3 hours to do justice to this beautiful museum, 4 would be better. Its really a MUST SEE...you wont be disappointed.

I love museums and I didn’t know what to expect of this place. I was able to get some really good photos and the atmosphere was incredible. So many things to read and see. I’d highly recommend this place to anyone who loves WW2, planes, and history.

This is a wonderful place. It has an amazing collection of WWII planes which were my reason for visiting. I was allowed to sit in a Spitfire, which was one of the planes my father flew. It was an incredible experience to clamber in, sit in the cockpit, hold the controls and imagine being up in the skies in a dogfight with the enemy. The museum staff were incredibly knowledgeable and very charming to us Brits.

Best air museum I’ve been too. Planes are visible up close as if in a hangar with them and the staff is genuinely enthusiastic about delivering content. Would recommend to non museum people too- super cool experience.

Today was the second visit and we have just purchased an annual membership because we will be back again...and again. This is the best air museum Ive ever seen -- filled with planes, stories and details supported by an amazing group of volunteers who enhance the experience.

Just went down there Thursday night they are doing a drive-in movie theater here on Thursday night first movie was a little hard to see with all the backlighting but they said they are trying to resolve that second movie was pretty good you can play the movie on your car stereo or you can rent a little radio they have there for $3

Great place to take your kids. Great history behind all the planes.

The Palm Springs Air Museum is an exceptional collection of aircraft and aviation history. Plan to spend three hours to really experience all the displays and walk through the hangers. This is a growing facility with new contributions and it is getting better all the time. Be sure and visit the resource library upstairs with its vast collection and flight simulators. There are great hands on display areas for kids to learn and interact with aircraft. The docents are all knowledgeable and eager to provide information to bring the history to life. Bring your friends and family for a worthwhile enjoyable experience.

I went for the sole purpose of donating blood at a LIFESTREAM blood drive.While waiting before admittance & after my donation, I wandered around.This museum is really cool! The equipment on display in my non-expert opinion was great.Im definitely going to make a bloodless return trip.

Do you love plains and military stuff. You gotta get here. Best time ever. Good old family fun.

This place is amazing so educational and fun. We will definitely be going back, to explore anything we might have missed.

My husband really likes going to air and space museums. I enjoy certain aspects. This one was nice because it wasnt too large so it wouldnt take you all day to view it and I had a nice indoor and outdoor component. It also had lovely volunteers who were more than happy to talk to you about the different airplanes.

Great musuem with plenty to see and helpful volunteers filled with good information

What a great museum and such a treasure trove of American History. From Planes, Autos, to weapons, you can easily incorporate the PSAM into your visit to the desert. I highly recommend visiting this place.

Fantastic collection of all your favourite aircraft spanning several decades. Facilities and exhibits are immaculate. Docents are a credit to the museum and clearly proud of the collection, its heritage and their role in bringing it to life for visitors. Big thank you to Benito for taking some great pics of us with the Tomcat and for his P-47 tales and to Lynn for his detailed insight into the amazing B-17 ( Do the internal walk around, its a privilege!). You can even eat your lunch in the cafe under the wing of the mighty 17!

This museum is awesome. Tons of planes and every employee we talked to was very knowledgeable. Cant wait to go back and ride in one of the planes!

This place is so awesome. The volunteers that work there are very knowledgeable and friendly. The planes are nicely restored. Lots of history!

Nice sized museum with very well taken care of planes. Gift shop too.

We have always had a blast here

Lots of history. Awesome planes.

Very cool spot - tons of cool planes to see, lots of different exhibits. Definitely recommend this place if youre in Palm Springs its worth spending a few hours here.

Really impressive museum with lots of different aircrafts from different eras on display. Not only that, theres a lot of educational information on the wars and other types of weaponry in general. The theater runs on an automatic viewing of various movies from History Channel. In addition, theres a library upstairs with computers set up with flight simulation games and a joystick for control.When we were at the museum, they were unfortunately setting up for an event, so much of the museum was closed and the displays moved around a lot.The museum is also right by the Palm Springs Airport so you can watch planes take off and land up close at the airport.

Freaking amazing place cannot recommend this place enough all of the aircraft are in an almost airworthy state and a few are flying currently. They had a P47D (one of my favorites and quite hard to find one) and a spitfire as well as a Mig-21 and a F-100. To me this place would be worth $70 entry.

Very cool my kids had allot of fun and enjoy the planes amd the gift shop the girl working there was snobby but the young man behind the cashier waa very explainable and patient and helpful . the kitchen man was nice to very friendly....

The most amazing collection of planes from across the years. The staff are all old Airforce Veterans with an immense knowledge of everything military aviation. Loved it. A must see on any trip to Palm Springs.

Fantastic set of planes and war memorabilia to look at.Go inside a cockpit and they currently have a B-17 bomber to go inside (for a little extra donation).It does get a little hot; there does not appear to be air conditioning.

Outstanding displays of historical aircraft. Wr probably had the most fun in their library where they had very old magazines and books to flip through. Staff was helpful and very polite. We cannot wait to go again.

Nice place to see aircrafts used in wwii. Place was pretty cold during out visit, and heater was not functional. Could have made it more interactive, its a bit boring foe the kids.

Really interesting mostly WW2 air museum, where you can see old planes flying

Hands on wonderful museum, WWII and Korea/Vietnam planes and bombers, awesome special lectures and get to sit in different fighter cockpits!

Excellent displays of mostly WW2 aircraft. I highly recommend.

Great deal of history with numerous presentation with informative docents.

They had car and plane show, with a chili cook off listed. I drove out from San Diego only to find out the car show and chili cook off were not happening because of Covid.

This is a very good place. I think you would like this place if you like planes and history. There is lots to do there. You should go check it out if you live (or staying) in plan springs. It is a good attraction. It is right across the street from the Palm Springs international airport. You should totally go there. So fun!!

What a fantastic experience. I could spend days here! Amazing variety of exhibits, and the staff are all so friendly and helpful!

An amazing collection of aircraft, and related items from the WWII European and Pacific theaters, plus so much more.

My late wife & I we’re amazed not by justthe Planes but by the great personalThe personal helped in getting a brick layer on the Walk of Honor

Authentic flight worthy aircraft, in beautiful condition - from WWII, Korea, Vietnam wars - are on display in three separate hangers. The museum is staffed by many older veterans who are very knowledgeable. Plus the museum boarders the Palm Springs Airport; I enjoyed watching the planes take off and land. My wife enjoyed flying the flight simulator located in the museums library.

A ton of history about Palm Springs and WWI, WWII, and Cold War Era events. Inside and outside display of military planes and memorabilia. Also has displays on some of the past presidents and Hollywood celebrities and their contributions to the military, including Marilyn Monroe, Dean Martin, Bob Hope-to name a few. This is a nice half day excursion to get away and learn something new.

Huge variety of aircraft on display with historical significance. Had a great time with family, my niece and nephew, 6 and 3 enjoyed seeing the planes and adults enjoyed reading about them as well.

Fantastic museum and very friendly volunteers with lots of stories to tell about aircrafts and history. Great display of the B17. Even has a Spitfire. Highly recommended - takes a couple of hours minimum if you want to get the most. Also took a ride in the C47 - what a blast. Be ready for some delay if you take the Warbird flight because its at the mercy of the commercial flights schedule.

My son LOVED this place! We were able to watch a plane take off with passengers. So much to look at.

Visited last September, from the UK. Exceptional museum with such a good variety of aircraft from the US military inventory.Loved the personal guided tour of the B17, well worth the small $5 donation.Great library and collection of aviation books. Well worth a few hours of any AVGeeks time to visit.

Grat place to take kids & you have a great view of the airport. You get to see planes taking off & coming in. Absolutely Great.

Great place to go and explore full of veterans ready to give you all the knowledge you need.

Fun place, great kids area. If going in summer, be warned. Its super hot! No AC.

This place was great to see all types of aircrafts, keeps, cars, pictures, etc. There is so much to see and learn about. You look and touch the places instead look from afar. I appreciate those that have sacrificed for us so much more through this visit. It cost 16.50 to get in but I would have paid double that. Hope you enjoy my pictures.

Great exhibits. Very interesting display of aircraft

The people make the difference! Thanks for all the stories and history!

Great display of vintage aircraft and diarama of Pearl Harbour.Plus the actual pilot vets are there to guide you and tell stories.Well worth the price of admission and allow 2-3 hours to take everything in

Great museum with lots if airplanes to see.

For an exceptional look back at the aircraft, men and women from around the world involved in WWII, Korean and Vietnam wars it is exceptionally well done. The displays are in depth, educational, and very well displayed. The aircraft are amazing! You can even go for a plane ride on the weekends. Its staffed by knowledgeable volenteers. Plan on spending at least 4 hours. Theres even a theater with 6 different short films playing at scheduled times. A MUST SEE

I look forward to returning to see and learn more! Great museum with friendly volunteers.

Super cool... lots of history.

Great experience, rounded out by planes we could climb in and touch, flight simulators, special exhibits (i.e. Tuskegee Airmen), and a real demo of a MIG. Plenty of helpful volunteers explaining the technologies as well. Worth the money!

One of the best museum experiences that I had in my life. It starts with all the lovely details that are put into the exhibition, which at first seems to be rather small but just keeps on getting better the more time you spent there. We initially planned to just have a short visit of one hour since we needed to get back to Los Angeles on time but somehow we ended up spending four hours at this amazing place. I just would like to thank all the great volunteers and veterans for showing such enthusiam and being so knowledgeable.Also, I can really recommend the pulled pork sandwich at the cafeteria, it was actually the best one that I had on our trip to the west coast.

This place is a bunch of fun. Their flyover events are a wonderful experience.

This is a wonderful museum for the entire family. Ive been to quite a few Aviation museums around California Arizona Nevada Washington State and Texas. And I have to admit this is really the most family-friendly Air Museum Ive ever been to and they have a little cafe we can actually have lunch under the wing of a B-17 bomber if youd like. Go for it.

Palm Springs Air Museum is home to aircraft from World War II, Korea, and Vietnam. All of the aircraft are in flying condition, and some can even be booked for private flights! (That was just a biiiiit outside our budget…) The docents were all veterans, and it was really neat to talk to them about their experience and expertise. We got to tour an A-26, for which my husbands grandfather was a mechanic during the war. It was really neat for him to get to get a glimpse of what that was like. My favorite part of the visit was definitely watching my husbands face light up every time he spotted something new. He was like a kid in a candy shop, and we both really enjoyed our visit.

Great place to get a good dose of history, especially WW2.Many aircrafts in hangars and outdoor. The Staff consists of many veterans who take a lots of pride doing their job. To them I Say Props, or Turbo props.The only disappointment I had was with the souvenirs shop who didnt have enough to offer. Too bad, but we had a great great day there!!!

Too hot to be walking around in a mask but my two yearly didn’t care he enjoyed all the aircrafts

Awesome... volunteers knowledgeable, friendly and a pleasure to speak with. Planes, displays and facility fantastic!

If you like looking at aircraft, this is the place to go. Many of their planes are in working condition. Plus they keep many of them in airplane hangars. So they are great to look at and great to photograph.The docents there are really nice and knowledgeable. Fun to talk to.The have a B-17 bomber. For $5, a docent will take you on a tour through the aircraft. Totally worth it.

Large, well maintained hangars for displaying their planes, and other military displays. Informative signs describing the planes. Great assortment of WWII, Vietnam, and Cold War planes. The planes that are indoors are in excellent condition. The planes that are outdoors are as one would expect, a bit weathered. Knowledgeable, friendly docents. And a decent cafeteria.

I love the PSAM. We visit every single time were in town. They have some great quality aircraft in display, and some not so great, which why I gave 4 stars. However, you can get extremely close and hands on with a few of them. The docents are great, and very helpful with any questions. Make an effort to be there on open cockpit Saturday. For a suggested donation of $5 you can get in the cockpit of vintage aircraft, and even operate the controls. Its a must do in our trips.

The museum was arranged great. Everyone was respectful with social distening an mask

Oh my gosh, if you have a couple hours. Go here. Its incredibleNicest people, great collection

Very nice place to visit if youre into old planes. They have a very nice indoor hangar with many cool airplanes, war cars from the 50s and older...there is a fee to visit the whole thing.. plenty of own parking... they even give you flight rides starting from $100 / person and up to $5k/ person on certain planes. Good spot to hang out and learn...

Pricey admission, but tolerable enough get most people in the door. Has some of the best displays of any air museum Ive been to. Worth a visit for sure.
