Love coming here and looking at everything. They have a surprisingly large amount of things to look at for the size of the place. There is a gift shop up front too.Visited onWeekdayWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedNoPrice for adult entryFree
I only wish I had had more time to spend in this place. Will definitely return when I'm in the area. The museum staff was very knowledgeable and friendly. Thank you for a wonderful experience.
Outstanding place to visit. A wealth of information. Very well displayed. The staff is outstanding. The scenery outside is amazing. If you're a Respiratory Therapist or an aviation buff this is the place to go. This man was amazing and had an amazing life. You have to visit this place at least once in your life.
It was awesome, the people there really make the museum!! They are polite informative, knowledgeable and have a personal interest in the history they are trying to convey! My kids really had fun in the inventors/science part! So cool!
Affordable. Educational. Friendly & helpful staff volunteers?. Great little gift shop. Hope to see an expansion with more of the collection. Plan on spending some time to read all the history included with the exhibits.
Fun, small museum. It is just enough information to get out and stretch your legs. Love the children’s scavenger hunt and gift shop. It is actually located on a runway and surrounded by hangers. Planes were coming in and taking off while we were there.
Always interesting new additions that cover a wide range of history and innovation. A great venue for corporate events and birthdays as well. Have visited with my kids who enjoyed the simulator kids area and just recently returned to the venue for a surprise birthday party.
Very awesome place to visit if you have never seen this amazing aviation museum!Visited onWeekdayWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedNoPrice for adult entryFree
A fascinating figure tied to North Idaho is the inventor and aviator Forrest Bird 1921-2015 who lived not far away in Sagle. A technical training officer in WWII, Bird embarked on a career inventing respirators and ventilators for the medical industry after finding a German oxygen regulator in the war and working out how to make it more functional. The Bird Aviation Museum and Invention Center is in a hangar at Coeur d’Alene Airport and has a rotating fleet of aircraft from before WWI to the present day. To name a few there’s a 1947 Republic RC-7 “Sea Bee”, a North American AT-6 similar to the one Forrest flew in his WWII days and a 1927 WACO model GXE-10, like the one in which he made his first solo flight at the age of just 14. These aircraft are accompanied by exhibits about Bird’s medical inventions, as well as famous innovations in general, like Ruth Handler’s Barbie and the Mac II, mostly by Steve Woznia
Cool and amazing place. Wonderful employees. I loved the old place better. Because it was actually on a airport and it was bigger. The new place is cool it is smaller but it is still a pretty good museum. It is interesting and most importantly historical.Visited onWeekday
