Definitely one of the best air museums we’ve ever been to! So much variety of planes and everything is so well kept and restored it feels like you’re back in time. Our toddler loves airplanes and had an amazing time walking around and checking out everything! Staff here is also super nice and welcoming. Would highly recommend making the drive and visiting VAC!
One of our familys favorite places to visit. The whole family loves the history and seeing the historic aircraft. I have visited this museum my whole life and have seen it grow through the years. The only flying twin mustang is here, and a once in a lifetime must see. Make sure to go to one of the airshows !!Visited onWeekdayWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedNo
Genuinely the greatest museum I have ever been to. I was able to walk up and under every single aircraft here, and I was able to chat with a F-105 pilot who flew in Vietnam His name was John, incredible man. For the price you CANNOT beat this place. Absolutely lovely staff and extremely clean hangers. PS: You might notice I added 22 photos. This is only a select few because there were so many birds.
Took my teenage sons here and we were all fascinated! John was s great tour guide! He is a veteran who was a fighter jet pilot in the Vietnam War. He had so many great, and exciting stories about missions he flew. And you felt like there wasn’t any detail he didn’t know about the aircraft on display. So glad we decided to stop here on a rainy afternoon!
Had a fantastic time checking out the Warbirds exhibits today. Ex Navy pilot Roger was so kind with his time to explain aircraft evolution & aircraft carrier operations along with his personal life experience. Would recommend to all, never forget the brave aviators that fought in these aircraft to our freedoms of today. Thanks again ! Ray from the UK
If you love, appreciate and value the history of our military, service members and our amazingly beautiful military aircrafts...THIS is a museum you shouldn't pass up!! We spent a couple hours here looking at and learning about the different fighter jets and military planes the museum has on display. We were approached by a volunteer named Mark who told us if we had any questions, just let him know. Well...we ended up staying with Mark as our personal, and extremely knowledgeable, tour guide for the next hour. Mark was amazing!! We learned so, so much from him. Got to sit in the cockpit of a B52 which was mind blowing! This museum is a must see if you're in the area! Ask for Mark, you won't be sorry!!
Very Good museum with a nice collection of Warbirds. We spend about 2 1/2 hours. Volunteers share information about the planes and allow access into some restricted plane areas. Knocked off a star because the signage is not compete or missing in some cases.Visited onWeekdayWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedNoPrice for adult entry$16–20
Best museum for aviation lovers! My 14 y/o nephew was like a lil kid walking around telling me what each plane was used for and so many details. It was amazing and the staff were all very friendly. Will definitely bring other visitors to Florida to see this gem!Visited onWeekdayWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedYesPrice for adult entry$16–20
A definite must-see for anyone who loves aviation, military history or dreams of becoming a pilot. Tons of great planes in excellent shape and a few you can go inside which was a blast from the past for sure and really cool to see. There's also a flight simulator and tons of great pieces of vintage history in various museum-like settings throughout, as well as very friendly tour guides and a gift shop. Definitely worth the trip and cost.
Special shout out to volunteer Bruce who shared heartfelt stories about each of the exhibits. Touring the plane restoration hanger was amazing. Most of the gentleman are former pilots who enjoy maintaining these planes. They are volunteers.Visited onWeekdayWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedNot surePrice for adult entry$11–15
