A wonderful place for the whole family. We’ve already visited twice, and every time we discover something new. It’s not just airplanes — the museum features flying machines, helicopters, spacecraft, and everything that can fly or be launched into space. There are plenty of interactive zones for young kids: they can press buttons, touch different elements, walk inside real airplanes, and see how they’re built. Older children can explore the history, read fascinating facts, and dive deeper into aviation and space. It’s interesting for both adults and kids. Highly recommended.

Simply amazing and a not to be missed museum if you are around Seattle area. This is a true treat for anyone with a slight interest in aviation. The museum has so much to offer and if you really want to get the most out of your visit then please do block at least 4 hours to visit the entire place. The museum has a huge free parking lot which is super convenient. The tickets can be purchased based online or at site. There are four major sections where you can see and experience different air crafts. The best is the one across the road where you can actually walk in to larger planes such as the Concord, older Air Force one, and the Jumbo 747s. There are other sections where you can see the first Boeing jets, older and existing fighter jets, visit the control tower. There is red barn area where the history of the Boeing factory is displayed.also they have a few dedicated areas for space program and associated shuttles developed by Boeing. There is a section for the world war era planes and a lot of history depicted. There is a gift shop and restaurant as well. Highly recommend a visit to this

This is a must see in Seattle. Tons of exhibits, cool full motion flight simulators, and an amazing gift shop.

Pros:

Tons of aircraft from all over the world. Contains some insane collections. You are able to enter most planes, like the first 747, the Concorde, a US Air 737-200, Air Force one, and a Boeing 787-8. Flight simulators are very fun as they are full motion. Gift shop has an incredible selection of model planes and other items. Guided tours are available to you for no cost. Cafe food is amazing, with plenty of seating indoor and outdoor. Parking lot is great for planespotting at KBFI.

Cons:

Some planes are inaccessible, which is rather disappointing. I was hoping to be able to see the interior of the United 727 and the NASA 737-100. Unfortunately, the upper deck of the 747 is also closed, which is a small disappointment. Flight simulator is understaffed so it takes a while to enter. Also, for the museum being all about Boeing, there were no airliner simulators, which I found disappointing. The museum is geared more towards the public fascination with fighter jets and tends to forget about the airliners. (Not to say there weren’t any, there were plenty). Not the museum’s fault, but it is a shame that you cannot see the Boeing test aircraft from the ground.

Definitely recommend visiting.
