Real nice place. Staff are polite and helpful. Beautiful historic aircraft and a nice little art gallery. Only complaint is I wish they had more exhibits. Highly recommend.

Nice museum with multiple hangers for display. Most of the aircrafts are second world war era airplanes. There were three hangers we could enter, some of them were not for display. We spent around an hour inside looking at the aircrafts.

I've been near the tarmac and have witnessed the annual fireworks display on many occasion, and this is the museum that is sourced for many of the aircraft on display (the ones in the hangers appear to be in flight-ready condition) and they are very well maintained. You will not find many of these same aircraft at the 'Frontiers of Flight Museum,' as they are stretched across 4 major hangers in addition to the walking space in-between, and you can truly get a sense of the size of many of the aircrafts which are difficult to appreciate when looking a distance away when they are flying. This is also an active runway so you will see many private aircrafts moving in and out of the runway, which is cordoned off by chain. One of the hangers is not accessible to walk behind as it is an operating hanger which is used for working on aircraft used for air shows (as I believe many aircraft aren't just used for the Addison airport.) This is a great location if you are just interested in seeing aircraft up close, many of which were active in battle during WW2 (very rare planes in operational condition, and often too historically significant to be used in air shows.)

We had a great time visiting. The kids loved it and all the hangers were kept very clean. If you love seeing old War Birds, this is the place for you.

I didnt know this place existed. I knew there was alot of flight museums but I didn't know where. I love the history that tied to each airplane. If you love history, love airplanes, or just love flying jets..this is the place you! You can also bring your kids here to show them a great time as well. I believe there is also tours or something like where your child could get really close to the plane and touch it? I dunno you have to ask.very neat experience!

This is a great museum and a great location. Is there a plenty of staff to answer questions. It's mostly self guided but there are plenty of people walking around that are what I wanted to tell you everything about the everything. There is a gift shop and there are restrooms. There are 4 hangers in total. Plus outside exhibits. I thought the price was very reasonable for what is here. I didn't feel it was overly crowded and we had plenty of time to get the pictures we wanted. I hadn't planned to stay as long as we did but we ended up being there about an hour and a 1/2. It was definitely worth the extra time out of our day as this was an unplanned visit.

I have two big aviation buffs in my family so we spent an afternoon here and they really enjoyed themselves. Everyone was extremely friendly and helpful and the grounds were immaculate. Everything was very well cared for. We just happened to go the same day as an antique European car show was happening and it was awesome!!!! We will definitely be back.

A small museum with a great collection of aircraft - and not just American ones either. I was surprised to see German, Polish, and Russian aircraft mixed in with American ones. I also liked that the collection ranges from WW1 all the way to Vietnam. The planes exhibited are all military and you can't go inside any of them, but you can get very close.

This is a great value at $12. You can see all the aircraft in about 60 to 90 minutes depending on your level of interest.
