The museum was very clean and had a few interesting items. Front desk lady was friendly and helpful. There are a couple of large dilapidated aircraft outside that you can climb around in. Very inexpensive. Only wish there were more aircraft and less old cars.

Came out for the Midwest Honor Flight hangar dance, such a good time and a good cause.

A special feature here is the Flight 232 section. Theyve done a great job helping us to remember all the survivors, those who didnt make it, & the community of heroes that made the difference.A lot of other great displays to see, too.This is worth stopping to see!

This place is awesome! Took my 6 yrs old grandson there and he had a really good time looking at planes and helicopters. Want to go back on my own and soak in some local history.

Loved it. Even my kids loved it so many things to see. Definitely going again! Saw planes, cars, old phones. Something for everyone.

Very inspirational and patriotic. Our military needs to be more recognized and appreciated. Thank you for a great evening.

The male attendant was kind and gave us information on the Wright Brothers who were first in flight from North Carolina. He told us we could sit in the Vietnam War era chopper and the white plane. I liked the sitting station to view the video of the restoration of the Orpheum theatre despite no correlation with aviation. It was cool to see a piece of fence from the Korean DMZ border line & the Japanese Kamikaze plane wreckage artifacts. 4 stars only because the FedEx Plane outside was closed. The female clerk said it would take 6 months to a year to fix the planes flooring, yikes!

My little one really enjoyed it a lot. It would be nice if they could actually go in the planes outside.

We were up for the Fly in Pancake breakfast. One of the ladies serving was very rude, she should learn to be a little nicer to the public. But the museum was worth seeing.

Website says open until 4pm but we were just there and the gate is locked. Please keep your website current. Very irritating to make the trip for nothing.

Pretty cool museum with a lot of items collected over the years. This is a hanger that looks like it has several individuals collections on display from items theyve collected over the course of their lifetimes. Cool items to looks at, I just wish they had some stickers to take back home with me!

Really cool museum! United 232 exhibit is well done! The inside was cool, but I enjoyed exploring the abandoned aircraft outside the most! (Although I’m not sure you’re supposed to do that...)

MAMAT Museum has amazing exhibits including military aircraft and historic cars. I was especially moved by the flight 232 exhibit. I was living in Cincinnati Ohio at the time and remember watching the crash and wondering how anyone survived. Over the years, I have heard Captain Al Haines speak. He is a hero

The check in cashier was really rude and tried to charge us more money. My son is 4 years old and my daughter is 2 years old. After the cashier asked their ages, she said only one adult shall be charged, it should be $9. I asked why it is not $6 as it showed on the price board, she said the boy is 4 years old, so that’s $3 for him. And then I showed her the price board, she was reluctantly to change it back to $6. Another thing was that she would kick you out before the close time because she wants to leave earlier. I would say this is the worst service I experienced in U.S.

My son and I stopped for the first time. Tons of really cool items. Good layout and very clean. The FedEx cargo plane exhibit was closed but plenty of other things to look at. Worth a stop.

It might be amazing on the inside but we’ve been waiting outside the gate for nearly 20 minutes past the scheduled opening time. Just now, a lady came barreling in and has unlocked the gate. Seems like someone overslept this morning. So we will now venture on in...

The B-29 brought back a lot of great memories of when I was on a 29 flight crew.

Great museum telling the history of aviation in the Siouxland area, especially that fateful day in 1989 when United Flight #232 crashed at the airport.

This is a small but truly awesome museum containing quality exhibits both air and transport. The place is clean with a great staff and managed by a professional. If you are passing through the Siouxland area its well worth your while to stop in. Youll enjoy it!!

Rude, rude person at the check in, cashier. The flight 232 video wouldnt work and she refused to try and fix. Too bad, because it is a neat place but this woman ruined the experience for my 3 grandchildren from out of state. They kept asking what was wrong with her as she was so mean.

It was nothing special, the grounds outside were not kept up. It cost money to go into the museum that didnt even look worth it.

I debated three or four stars because the FedEx 727 was closed as was the United 727 cockpit but the overall museum was orderly, clean and my son was very intrigued by the Flt 232 exhibit and the military displays.
