A nice little museum located in the international terminal in the airport itself. Focused on airlines role in war. Good for kids or those who want to be introduced to the aviation. I wish the books were accessible though. The ladies there are helpful jolly fellas.

Located just before the boarding area, this place offers interesting insight to aviation history. Love the miniature airplanes and displays. Great place to hang out if you have ample time before flight.

A quiet place in the corner with some interesting exhibits and a library. Great way to spend 30 min at the airport

In a corner of the International Termimals pre-security region, can find lots of great plane models.

Nice museum, but the books in the library on the second floor are not really accessible to the public and takes at least 30 minutes to get any. My husband asked to look at some and had to talk to 3 people before he could look at any in a conference room. Too difficult to bother. Otherwise nice museum with lots of seating upstairs and two nice restrooms inside.

I personally liked the whole idea of setting up such a well maintained aviation museum inside a world class Airport. The museum takes us to the era of aviation and narrates the story of development in Airline industry with various eye catchy plane idols, information boards and even informative sessions.The place is open to all Airport visitors and is worth sparing a few minutes before your flight from the international Terminal 3 of the #sanfranciscoairport.

Awesome experience when I visited sfo a couple weeks ago. If you have the chance go check it out.

Cool scaled models of many planes. Also, a good quiet spot to sit down and read without paying some airline membership; though, they do appreciate donations.

Small and not very interesting unless you want to find an old book in their library upstairs. Models of airliners downstairs are probably the best part. Info on routes for soldiers to Vietnam occupies the other half of the downstairs.

Amazing architecture and history. Designed to look like the original SF Airport when it opened. In International A Terminal pre-security

Great place to vist when at the airport. Very Inspiring

A small but nicely curated space. If you have a bit of time before your flight, pop in there for a few minutes. There are also free standing exhibits spread out throughout the international terminal.The museum also sometimes hosts events. I visited during a Working for SFO workshop and the space accommodated a fair amount of students and job seekers.

This is a really cool set of displays to help learn while consuming time at SFO. I loved the insect display.

Great place to kill some time and even better place if you are an aviation geek

Great airplane scaled models on display with mini historical captions. Good way to spend some time before your long flight. Pretty quiet place to hang out too.

Friendly and helpful staff. Wish I could have bought a comprehensive book about its planes and aviation history. Most impressive was the history of the first TransPacific flight.

Interesting museum and no entrance fee

Small interesting museum within the San Francisco airport. The early terminal is their main exhibition space with other displays throughout the terminal.

Great little hideaway from the airport hustle and bustle.

Excellent collection of custom made model planes.... Over 50!! and theres a library on the second floor full of books dedicated to aviation

Its a nice oasis in a sea of chaos

A hidden gem at the SFO International Terminal. Theres always an incredible exhibit and is a great venue for a private event. Its Pre-Security, so its open to all!

Very good and beautiful

Great collection of aviation artefacts from when SFO was a flying boat station. Amazing collection of 1/72nd scale models too. Good way to spend 30 minutes at SFO while waiting.

Very interesting variety of exhibits scattered around the airport! Every time I fly, there is almost a new main exhibit. Certainly something not to miss while going standing on the moving walkway.

A small museum by the International terminal of San Francisco airport departure level just below the air train station. The main attraction is the very large collection of model aircrafts from many eras, which is clearly documented. There isnt very much to see in the museum though. And if one has some spare time waiting for the next flight, this is an excellent place to come to for passing some time.

Im sorry they close so early (4:30) But just reading the outside exhibits was really interesting. And its great to see a bit of the history, while you wait for a flight

Very good collection of milestone airplane models, and the guides are very enthusiastic!!

Its a collection of plastic/metal planes from a private collector...(?) There are some books related but i dont know if you can read those...

A neat place that not a lot of people know about. Its pre-security in International Terminal A. Has some scale models, a wide collection of retro flight attendant uniforms, and interesting exhibits on some of SFOs history. Its not very big; you could get through the whole thing in half an hour.

Lots of detail, and host was very informative!

Art in airports is like architecture for fast food.

Interesting place to visit. If youre at SFO and you have the time, definitely check it out.

Fun place to walk through and visit. Small aviation museum, library is only open by appointment. The museum is located pre security.

Its nice to spend 10-15mn pre-security, but dont expect too much. Mostly pictures of pan am, flying boats, and old flight attendant costumes.

Museum at the airport! Nice showroom!

Always do enjoy whatever art is displayed in their simple cases.

Just miniatures, I was expecting more

UA United Airlines

A large collection of model aircraft, plus some historical background. Could have had a bit more variation bin the exhibit types.

A cool and tranquil museum in a busy airport

All the books about aviation.
