Reviews
"Amazing experience. Will be back. Easily accessible near the airport."
"Really great experience at the museum, don't miss it! You can see planes landing and taking off at nearby Dulles International Airport. Highly recommend!"
"Must visit if you’re at Steven Udvar Hazy Air & Space Museum. Accessible only through elevator. Wait can be long at certain times of the day, its worth the wait though. Great 360 view of Dulles airport and nearby Chantilly."
"It was free and fun to look around the area. Mountains could be seen in the distance and planes were flying by to land at Dulles."
"Super place, great views of Dulles airport and surrounding areas. You can also hear the communication between the Tower and airplanes, the staff there have info on the flights arriving and departing. No cost for entry, but parking is $15."
