hiller aviation museum印象

this is a small museum. It has some interesting old Army planes. Wish they had more simulators and fun stuff for kids. Although it is a kid friendly place, it might be a good idea for the museum to provide simple handouts in the form of coloring books highlighting the museum pieces. Overall a nice place to spend a couple of hours. They have a nice gift shop. They do have facilities to cater to small groups.

I loved the guided tour it was very informative. I like the interactive aspects, such as the simulator, I like the walk in planes where you can walk in and sit in the pilots seat. All in all everyone should go to the museum

I have lived in the bay area my whole life and only when I moved away did I see this museum for the first time with my 6 year old son. It was pretty cool, showing a number of different planes, helicopters and engines. You can also sit in the cockpit of a passenger plane, (you dont realize how tight a fit it is in there!). Overall great way to spend a few hours, especially if your kid/s love planes.

It was a windy day, so we were looking for some inside-activity. The museum is small but filled with many interesting things. Old planes, helicopters and weird flight machines from the first days of aviation. You get an impression how brave and innovating these pioneers were. Lots of them died young living their dreams.Outside is the "nose" of a Boeing free to enter. You can even take a seat in the pilot chair.Great to see the restoring shop with many volunteers listed. They all donate their time and knowledge for the museum. We didn't spend too much time inside, but it is definitely a great place for families with children.And the admission of $14 is absolutely reasonable. They have a large shop with everything around aviation.

Lots of open areas for kids to enjoy, great displays. Friendly staff. Very nice store area attach, with lots of interesting items to see and/ or buy.

Hiller has a wonderful collection of helicopters, planes, including some of the earliest gliders and planes as well as some cool simulation cockpits. There are countless photographs chronicling the history of aviation as well. Much of curation includes information about the technology of aviation. Hiller is located next to the San Carlos airport, making it a fun place to watch small planes take off and land. For New Year's Eve, Hiller does an awesome celebration for kids called Noon Year's Eve. They have face painting, reptiles, and other kid friendly displays/activities. At noon, they release balloons and serve sparkling grape juice. It is a blast for little ones.

Having been to the Museum of Flight in Seattle, the Hiller is a much smaller museum but my kids liked the simulators a lot. I thought Hiller had a lot more unique and innovative aircraft displays.

My wife and I stopped by while wanting for the helicopter ride down the street. This place has a lot of things to see and take your turn flying a 747.

If you are in the mid Peninsula with the family and have a few hours, this is a fun and educational way to pass the time. There are entry of interactive exhibits to keep the young ones engaged and learning and loads of interesting aircraft of historical significance along with their stories for the adults. Our children have liked it since they were four years old. They are now eight and still like it.

The Hiller Aviation Museum is unique in that also on display are the very early experimental US Army single passenger machines such as the flying platform, the tiny single passenger helicopter, and a few others. There are early twin rotor Hiller helicopters, and flying machines that the average person never knew existed. The airplane collection is also unique...machines never seen close up in larger museums. There is a Wright Flyer copy, and others. There are also modern flying machines on display too. This is my third visit to this museum, and I'll probably visit it again in the future because it's a very interesting place..
