The Museum of Flight9404 E Marginal Way S
Tukwila, Washington 98108
At the Museum of Flight you'll enjoy the wonder of aviation in one of Seattle’s most spectacular settings. The 15-acre campus features over 175 air and spacecraft, the original Boeing Aircraft factory, flight simulators, fantastic 3D aviation and space movies, and dozens of fun, interactive exhibits and family activities. With the addition of the Aviation Pavilion—a 3-acre, open-air gallery, showcasing 18 of the world’s most important airliners and military aircraft—The Museum of Flight has more to offer than ever before! When you visit you can climb aboard the supersonic Concorde, the only full-scale NASA Space Shuttle Trainer, the beautiful Boeing 787 Dreamliner, and the Air Force One that served presidents Eisenhower, Kennedy, Johnson and Nixon. Stand in the shadow of the infamous M-21 Blackbird spy plane—the fastest aircraft ever flown. The Apollo exhibit, which opened in May 2017, offers an up-close look into the space race and features the original F-1 engines that launched Apollo 11 to the Moon. From the world’s oldest fighter plane to current spacecraft, you’ll see the machines and experience the stories of those who flew them. After touring the galleries, you can enjoy a meal at Wings Café or relax on the airport patio and take in all of the runway action. Take flight with The Museum of Flight!
