  • Stumbled on this small collection 12 years ago when traveling on business and taking the wrong turn coming out of the airport car rental center. Thought it took a while to find my way back my visit...

  • Cool aviation museum. Love all the airplanes and things for kids to do. They got models of all the navy planes in one room !! Lots of aviation history here!! A room dedicated to woman pilots and astronauts. A replica of the 1st airplane glider !! Fun place to visit for all ages. Great gift shop too . Take a tour on Sundays of the airplane that was in the Indiana Jones movie . Raiders of the lost ark !! Its a extra fee but well worth it !!
  • Top tier aviation museum! It's clear that the curators and staff care about aviation and its history, both globally and locally to Oakland/Alameda, very deeply... I would highly recommend this museum to any person (children, adults, handicapped, etc.)
