We had a great time visiting this place!! It has grown over the years to include way more exhibits of planes, carriers, NASA, etc. It's so interesting to see the history of the military. There are flying simulators you can pay to do as well, a movie you can watch, etc. There is a little Cafe to get drinks and snacks and a nice gift shop! It's a terrific place to take kids!!
Amazing! I had no idea what to expect but this is a must see. It's free to get in and there a ton of planes to see with hands on stuff for the kids and great historical information all over. I could easily spend all day here reading information and seeing the planes. There is a simulator that my kids did. That cost money but great experience. 5 stars! Thanks for the experience.
One of the best place to visit in Pensacola. Exciting place for kids . Entry is free. This place is called house of blue angels . We can watch documentary of blue angels only $7 each person . Please take your id with you.or they will return you back.Visited onWeekdayWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedNoPrice for adult entryFree
I visited this place as a child over 30 years ago and wow, has come a long way. I expected my children to be bored, but they have done quite well with making sure there are plenty of interactive attractions to go along with the viewing of life sized peices historical Naval aviation. Admission is free, though there are "tip containers" scattered across the museum. They have a couple different simulators and they also have movies that all cost money. I feel they are reasonably priced since admission is free. There is restaurant and a snack bar. A little high priced for the quality in my opinion but it serves the purpose of giving you food for as much time as you could potentially spend here. We spent about 3 hours here and we didn't watch any of the movies that you can buy tickets to. If you are someone who is really passionate about this kind of thing and want to experience all of it, get here when the doors open and plan to spend 4-5 hours. And that is on a less busy day. The exhibits are top notch. They have full sized jets and planes plus very detailed replicas of different aircraft carriers. The WWII exhibit has it's own section and is an absolute must see if you love this part of US history. Worth a trip to Pensacola just for this, in my opinion. Overall, great museum and recommend every one check it out if in the area.
Incredible aviation museum representing all naval aircraft from inception to today. Don’t make the same mistake I did and confuse Air Force aircraft for Naval aircraft. The B-52 and Stealth fighter and bomber are Air Force and aren’t there haha. The F-14 tomcat is always incredible and a crowd favorite but don’t forget to look at the FA-18 next to it. Also amazing! Lastly, don’t forget the blue angels, can’t miss them!
A short ride from I-10 on the Navy Base, you have to clear security so make sure everyone has ID. Plenty of free parking including for Handicap accessible Vehicles. The Museum is Free but please make a donation it's appreciated. It took us 2 days to tour the Museum It was absolutely Fantastic. The aircraft, displays and information was incredible. The historical items on display are amazing and it was like a walk through time. Make sure to see the Vietnam display, it's a little insight to what our soldiers were subjected to. Don't miss this museum! *Also in the Area is the Lighthouse and Fort, which are also worth a Visit*
Fantastic place to visit. The museum is awesome. Be prepared to spend several hours here. So much to see. We just so happened to be at the museum at the right time. The Blue Angels had practice while we were there. It was awesome seeing them fly. Loved the whole experience.
Incredible place, so cool! Very well kept with lots of cool planes, jet, seaplanes and much more to check out. Great history to be learned here in a fun way for even kids to experience. Our kids 8,6 and 4 loved it.
I've always loved going to NAS Pensacola to visit the Naval Aviation Museum. After being closed to the general public for the last few years I could not wait to get back! Getting on base was easy and finding a place to park was not bad. After a quick bag search you're in! The first stop was The Cubi bar for lunch. It's a former Club that was in the Phillipines that was reassembled in the Museum. The food is not fancy but it's pretty good. I had chicken salad on a bed of lettuce with tomatoes and cucumbers. After lunch it was time to walk around the museum. They also have an Imax theater and a few simulator rides. But for the most part there is every kind of aircraft you can imagine on display. They even added a hangar with lots more displays and tributes. The gift shop has a little bit of everything for you to take home a little something Navy related. I really enjoyed myself. The Museum is free to get in but please consider making a donation for the upkeep.
You gotta make 4 days available to see everything. Super interactive displays, friendly helpful staff and more to see and do for beyond the eyes can see. Full size airplanes on display. Many huge models of Navel ships. Wow, gotta put this place on your bucket list. Also, part of the home to the Blue Angles. Meet and greet on the tarmac behind the museum on live practice days. Most Tuesdays and Wednesdays. Check their schedule for training days to be sure. Oh best part. Parking and admission to the museum is FREE. You will have to enter NAS Pensacola so be sure to have your ID. Check the website.
