It shows and tells a vast amount of history. The volunteers are vast in knowledge as some have served in the military in time of need.Please go and view. You will be glad you did.

Lots of aircraft. Look twice or three times might see all the aircraft. The setup of aircraft of different eras is superb. I was disappointed that as far as I know there is no way to see the large aircraft that are behind closed and locked fences. Had to drive to the south fourty just to get a glimpse of them.

Very interesting. So many sacrifices made by so many. Thank you veyerans!

Really cool experience for me and kids. Lots of interactive planes were could climb up and even in to get a feel for them. Educational as well in a fun way. Best part is that it is completely free.Part of the naval aviation museum at the base. Staff was very helpful and friendly. Had plenty of knowledgeable staff and volunteers to give first hand knowledge.We plan on going again when we are in the area.

Very interesting. Easy way to spend a couple of hours.

Love visiting the Naval Aviation Museum. My kids enjoy seeing all the aircraft and learning about the history. They also love getting in all the planes and helicopters. The staff here is super friendly and allways can answer any questions. Every time we visit Florida we make sure we stop here. See yall soon.

Amazing number of planes on display here

We so enjoyed ourselves. Loved the Enterprise showcase as my dad served on ship in WW2 . Remember him telling me about him wearing blue color on deck. Thank you for keeping all this for US. The air show was awesome!!! And its all free as you have kept us. Thank you again.

Free admission and many military volunteers to make the experience more enjoyable. I was amazed at how many airplanes they have from all flight eras. The highlight was the free trolley tour. The driver was a retired navy pilot and had a lot of detail about the planes on display outside. I highly recommend this stop on your trip.

Truly an experience to remember. This is a must see when in town, it will leave you amazed.

Great place. Been several times over the years and my family and I enjoy it each time.

Really educational, informative and impressive!

Great place to visit. Lots to see and its actually really free. Lighthouse I think was $7 but the aviation Center wish free and lots to do. Friendly staff

Lol they need to build hanger bay 2 haha its really worth seeing if your into any type of aviation lots of military personnel over there airman laponte is fine as hell

Loved it. Everyone should visit once. Or several times.

Had an amazing time here. Loved the 50s area a lot. My kids enjoyed the simulators. And my husband enjoyed the army and submarine spot a lot. Definitely coming back!

Beyond any expectations of any fan of aviation. Industrial art at its finest. The staff and volunteers are very very pleasent and knowledgeable.. I met up with the type of helicopter I worked on 45 years ago..a great experience for me.

Great information on Vietnam Air plans and other aircraft used by the Navy Airforce.

Great place! Lots of history.

Example examples of Naval aviation history.

Wow. Great interactive. Tons of planes. Good movies. Free to enter. Gladly pay for 4D movies and real flight simulator.

This is the second building of the Naval Aviation Museum. Marine 1, Moon Landing and US Coast Guard equipment and history are among the highlights. My kids enjoyed a simulator ride for a fee of $7 each. We enjoyed our day there as a family. Free entry and free parking.

I love this museum. My favorite is the POW display. There are many airplanes and jets plus engines and a thousand displays of many kinds. Children and adults will love it. It is free also. They have an IMAX theatre plus simulators.

Great addition to the Naval Aviation Museum. It is nice to have an addition hanger full of some of the historic planes and helicopters from both Naval and Presidential usage. It is nice to get up and close to these pieces of history. All have a nice story behind them with information tied to them.

My family and I have been to the museum more than 2 dozen over a five year period. Every time I go I seem to find something new or something Ive seemed to missed the times before. This place is an amazing piece of history and the folks that keep it up do an outstanding job preserving it and helping tell the story of our history. There are so many pieces of history in the museum that arent taught in history books that I love making sure my children know about. I hope that one day that will bring their children here to see these things and teach them the things they wont be taught in school as well. Outstanding job!! Keep up the amazing work and thank you for all that you do for all of us. God bless you all

Love their chili dogs. Hmmm good. Fast service. Wonderful museum

Awsome museum! Loved all the old exbits.

I love seeing the aircraft so close, being able to touch history & appreciate what the military does for our great country

Such a great time at the Naval Aviation Museum. The place is massive, Hanger Bay One is just a portion of the overall exhibit. Make sure not to miss it, follow the signs.

We all loved this place definitely worth going

Fantastic musuem. A must if you like aircraft or the Navy

Anything involving aviation my family loves. Lots to see

This place is fascinating and the guides really know their displays and are good story tellers.

A must for all ages. Thorough exhibits. Skip the 4D blue Angels flight though.

Worth the extra time to see many of the historic craft in this hanger.

Nice separate hanger from the rest of the museum. Cool planes, glad they had an F-4 and other nice exhibits. Definitely worth seeing.

Such a historical place to go to. Very informative staff and so kind and helpful!

Very nice, we visited back in 1996 and it has changed alot. Very good air museum...

Each plane/Helo has its own history Plan to spend the day there and chow down at the Cubi Bar in the main museum. Lots of simulators for young and old!

By far one the best places to spend the day indoors!

Its free and there is lots to see
