This museum (indoors and out) was wonderful. Very informative, well laid out and friendly volunteers to boot! Donations accepted.

We loved visiting this place and seeing all the historical aircraft.It was a lot of fun for the family.

Great free plane to take the family. Large selection and well displayed and timelines. Small gift short inside that has nice shirts, prints and trinkets . If your in the area and have access it's worth the stop.

This museum is free to enter and has an extensive collection of older aircraft, spacecraft, and historical items. It is housed in an old warehouse style building that has seen many better days. The exhibits are good for an aircraft buff but lack professionalism for the avid museum fan. Many displays use nothing more than a cutout from a powerpoint presentation or a "Word" document. If you can ignore this, it is still worth checking out as I am sure children will still love the aircraft and being up close to them. In the end i recomend 1 to 1.5 hours as plenty of time to allow for the museum and the grounds around it.

This is really amazing place.If you love NASA Kennedy space center, Air force base in Houston and so on-this should not be missed

If you are into american military aviation history this is the place to be. It's not a big museum but you will see aircraft there that you are unlikely to see anywhere else plus very well documented and informative displays. The staff are all highly knowledgeable and enthusiastic volunteers who are very concerned to make sure that you get the best out of the day.Make sure you take food as there is only a gift shop with a limited range on offer. And prepare for the security checks prior to entry. Take passports. Public transport from SF is probably possible but a car is preferable. And make sure that you stop at the visitor's centre where the checks take place. If you go past as we did then you find yourself going into the base main gate, complete with armed guards.

The collection of planes outside is amazing, and the exhibits inside the museum are most interesting. Be prepared for a long delay in a waiting room with a blaring TV, though, to get permission granted to access the base. Also, be prepared to provide i.d. and social security number for those in your group. Even with this minor hassle, this is an eye opening museum, and great fun.

This air museum is located on Travis Air Force Base. It is an outstanding opportunity to visit a number of very interesting memoribilia and static airplane exhibits. And, it is free! The only drawback is that the museum is located on a military base which requires an extensive amount of background information on every member in your party to get on base [that's code for hassle]. But, it's well worth the time it takes to get clearance. Be certain to have everyone bring a photo id, as well as current registration/insurance information for the vehicle you're driving.

Located on Travis Air Force Base. Non-military has to check in at the visitor center - to fill out require paperwork, picture id & a background check, ~ 15 minutes process. Afterwards, a van will pick up the guest and drive to the heritage center. Great place to re-learn/learn American history........displayed range from WW I, WW II, Korean conflict, Vietnam Era, Desert Storm, Engine room, Space display(Mercury capsule), Tuskegee Airmen, Pacific.....and more. Many planes to see - PT19, BT13, F's, C's SA's, B-52, etc.......Overall, the family enjoyed the visit very much. Free entrance but donation accept. A big Thank you to Travis AFB Heritage Center - well done.

This is a great museum, and a hidden gem. We spent a few hours there and really enjoyed the experience. It is a free activity and the volunteers were very helpful. We enjoyed watching the restoration work being done on some of the aircraft. The museum is well done, with displays and information from World War I to the present. Everything was very informative, not over done and with a great sense of history. This is a volunteer run museum on Travis Air Force base; so while some things are dated and worn, I think it just adds to the nostalgia and personality of the place. It is not glitzy and showy, but presents good historical information and displays. We enjoyed our time there, and would go back to visit.
