Florida Air Museum

"Took my son today and he really enjoyed how interactive some of the displays were! About 60-90 minutes to go through the whole museum including both buildings and the outside area. Restrooms were clean and Great prices at the Gift store! Although the museum itself is best suited for those who are Airplane enthusiasts you can definitely still have a nice time and learn a few things Definitely would come back with the whole family On April 9th for the anniversary."

"I recently had the pleasure of visiting The Florida Air Museum in Lakeland, Florida, and I must say, it truly exceeded my expectations. As an aviation enthusiast, I have visited a fair number of air museums across the country, but this one stands out as a memorable and inspiring experience. First and foremost, the museum's location is ideal. Situated at the Sun 'n Fun Aerospace Expo Campus, the surroundings are vibrant and bustling with aviation-related activities. The museum itself is spacious and well laid out, ensuring that guests can comfortably explore its wide variety of exhibits. The collection of aircraft on display is outstanding, showcasing not only iconic planes like the Grumman F-14 Tomcat and the Lockheed SR-71 Blackbird, but also a range of experimental, home-built, and vintage aircraft. The museum does an excellent job of preserving and presenting these rare and fascinating pieces of aviation history. The interactive exhibits, which cater to both children and adults, were a standout feature for me. The hands-on approach encourages visitors to engage with the science and engineering of flight in a fun and accessible way. Additionally, the museum offers a variety of educational programs, including workshops and summer camps, making it an ideal destination for families and students alike. The staff and volunteers at The Florida Air Museum were extremely knowledgeable and passionate about aviation. Their enthusiasm was contagious, and they were always happy to answer questions and share their expertise. It was a pleasure to learn from them. Of course, no visit to an air museum would be complete without a flight simulator experience, and The Florida Air Museum delivers on that front as well. The state-of-the-art simulators provide an exciting opportunity to feel what it's like to pilot various aircraft, and are sure to be a hit with visitors of all ages. In conclusion, The Florida Air Museum is a must-visit destination for aviation enthusiasts, families, and history buffs. The museum's impressive collection, interactive exhibits, and knowledgeable staff make for a truly unforgettable experience. Whether you're a seasoned pilot or simply curious about the world of aviation, The Florida Air Museum has something for everyone. I highly recommend adding it to your itinerary when you're in the Lakeland area."

"Came here late on a Sunday and it was very quiet. I enjoy reading all of the plaques quietly so it was perfect for me. Spoke with the nice lady volunteering and she was wonderful to talk to and you could tell she was very enthusiastic and passionate about the place and what they do. This seems like an amazing hub for the community and if you're considering going I'd say do. They host a lot of events that often give back to the area."

"We walked around outside first and it was interesting to see and read about the different aircrafts they have for display. Proceeded to pay the fee for the Museum and it was slightly overpriced for the size of the place and the displayed aircrafts. Overall enjoyed it as a 1 time experience as we were headed to that area to try out a restaurant."

"Loved the place. They're expanding the main showroom so the airplanes being displayed were limited. I'm looking forward to when they're done renovating. Great place to take your kids to. The staff is very amiable and make you feel at home."
