Have lived minutes away for 20 years and this was my first visit. I was shocked at how nice it was and how many interesting and unusual displays there are. I would highly recommend to those of you who have not been, check it out. You can spend an interesting couple of hours there and it's reasonably priced.
The history of Southwest Airlines is well done, and actually inside of a plane! Also numerous exhibits of Apollo 7. My father would have loved to go here.
Good aircraft museum with some vintage aircraft, as well as Vietnam era jets. Has a NASA Apollo capsule, and a trainer for the SR-71. If you are a aircraft enthusiast, its worth the stop.
I went here for a charity event it is such a nice place. I would recommend it to anyone who likes airplanes. There is also lots of history stuff for the kiddos to learn and enjoy
My husband loves everything to do with aviation, so we were thrilled to find this exhibit. We were greeted by 4 elderly volunteers, all anxious to tell us about the museum - their enthusiasm was very sweet. Because of that, I would love to give this place a glowing review ... But, truly I cannot. There are way too many long, and often very technical, descriptions of aviation events - in the old style of museums - look but don't dare touch! The whole place had that kind of 60's feel to it.Won't someone save it?? Kids today like to touch, experience, hear! More interaction needed, fewer glass boxes containing boring descriptions!At the far end were some planes all pushed together making it hard to get a full prospective of them, whilst the middle is totally empty! With some TLC and updating, this museum could be so much more dynamic, and I think those wonderful aviator volunteers deserve better!
This is a fun and educational place to go - and the docents are so nice and so full of knowledge about the planes
If you like looking at old planes and helicopters and a brief history of aviation, this museum is worth a visit. You can walk up pretty close to the planes. Kind of an out of an out of the way museum, but worth visiting. Plan on about 2 hours.
Frontiers of Flight Museum has several unique exhibits - an SR-71 (Mach 3 spy plane) simulator, Apollo 3-seater capsule (yes, these three astronauts spent over a 100 hours in there, in a space barely larger than pickup truck cab), Flying Pancake experimental aircraft and a T-35 trainer jet that later evolved into F-18 Hornet. But what makes this place really fascinating are the volunteers. Me and my friends were given a tour by a former Navy pilot, who was not just enthusiastic about aviation history, but his enthusiasm was truly contagious, in a good sense. Visit the museum and share passion for flying these men have!
If you have time this is worth taking a few hours out of your busy day to visit. This museum is never crowded the staff is friendly they seem to be constantly updating and improving this location, I'm fortunate to be Dallas based so our Aviation group has held private meetings at this location. They certainly knew how to setup a museum that everyone could enjoy from all walks of life. You do not need to be in the Aerospace Industry to enjoy this museum it's a must stop if your near Love Field Airport DallasMany may not know that the main part of this building was an actual Love Field airport / airfield historic hangar
Spent a little time here with my 13 year old son and found a couple very interesting exhibits, especially the POW experience. They had a good bit of information but some of it just seemed dated. The docents were very nice and helpful. It was not a bad way to spend an hour or so out of some Texas midday sun.
