The Museum of Flight Science Museum ·$$

Explore the history of flight from the Wright Brothers to space travel. Collections at Museum of Flight include commercial, military and civilian crafts. See a 1929 Boeing 80A-1, the sole survivor of its type. The 1926 Swallow was used as the nation's first contracted airmail service starting in April 1926. For those interested in more modern aircraft, there are the dynamic M-21 Blackbird, the fastest and highest-flying aircraft ever built, and the VC-137B Air Force One, which flew President Dwight D. Eisenhower on a historic visit to meet with Germany's Chancellor Konrad Adenauer in 1959. Take a walk through the “Red Barn,” a museum in its own right, where the Boeing Company manufactured its first aircraft. There is also a library with an extensive selection of aviation information, as well as a museum store and a cafe on the premises.

Museum of flight down near Boeing field. Interactive exhibits with lots to see and do. Special exhibit on airline uniforms across the age of flight gives an interesting view of the bygone age of glamorous flying. Large souvenirs shop. Museum does private events in the evening.

Very fun and interactive. They have planes you can walk through, jets you can take photos in, these very fun spinning upside down plane simulations which i was scared to go upside down yet it was completely fine, a space area, kids place, and a hurricane simulator. Overall so fun and i know nothing about planes still because i didn’t read the articles which they also have those.

This museum is very close to SEA. I had a layover SEA, and I decided to take uber to see this museum. There are a lot of cool exhibitions. If you are an aviation enthusiast, you may want to hit this museum along with Boeing factory tour.

Awesome experience, well exceeded our expectations. Lots to see, extremely friendly and knowledgeable docents that not only expanded our understanding of the exhibits but also shared personal stories about flying and restoring planes. Lots of different eras covered, and you can enjoy it from many different perspectives, from the big picture (an aircraft's general part in history) down to the small (one individual pilot's war experience as represented by his flight jacket and war journal). Both my kids went in expecting to just humor dad's interests for a few hours, but ended up picked it as their favorite part of our whole visit to Seattle. I had planned it as half our day - we stayed the full day. Desk staff was helpful with logistics (the museum is on both sides of the street). Bonus that it is easy to get to and from via bus #124!
