I don't think this museum is very everyone. It's pretty small. The main room has many planes on the floor and hanging from the ceiling. Supposedly they have planes outside that you can visit. There's also another room filled with

Pros: have special exhibitions, good for rainy days
Cons: boring unless you love airplanes
The Museum of Flight is a good museum..but, it's kind of small. The exibits are pretty interesting. I especially liked seeing the old Air Force One. Overall, it is a good cultural experience.

All flight museums have airplanes of course. The Seattle Museum of Flight also has loads of artifacts from space: Moon rock, lunar landers, and soon they'll be getting a Space Shuttle. \r

Pros: The docents are the best!

I have visited the National Air and Space Museum in D.C. and, while that museum is much bigger, I think The Museum of Flight is a better experience.\r

The Great Gallery has something like 30 airplanes (from the Wright Flyer to Blackbird

This is an awesome place to visit if you are a airplane freak. They have a replica of the first Wright brothers place infront of their theater. They have actual planes in there and there are a lot. They have a exhibit on the history of planes and some of the first places. They also have more planes in the back of the building! All are real, and very amazing. It is conviently located on Boeing field and has a steal of admission price.

If I had to choose, this would be, hands-down, the must-see thing for everyone to see in Seattle. Forget the Space Needle. Forget Pike Place Market. And believe it or not, its even far better than the Air & Space Museum in DC. Its incredible collection and displays include the Concorde and SR-71 Blackbird. Even three hours is not enough time to see the whole museum, so plan on spending at least half the day and coming back in the future.

As a child I spend many saterdays going throught the museum of flight. It is a really cool place for kids to see videos and see all the planes and for parents to go throught the hisorty wings. They have new exhibits to see including air force one and the blue angels places and sometime there are workshops for kids to go see. This is afun place to see. The people are really nice and can answer just about anything you can ask about the planes.

The Museum of Flight, located at Boeing Field, is a great place to take kids. First off, there are planes and helicopters of all sorts in the museum to look at. There are also simulator type planes, for kids to get into and pretend to drive, meanwhile the box that theyre in (the cockpit) moves along with their steering! Its really cool to see them get into it.

The Museum of Flight doesn't have new planes very often, but even so, it's worth going regularly. Little kids love it, as do guests from out of town. At various times, the Museum has sported a Concorde and Air Force One. The gift shop is definitely worth a stop, too.
