Museum of Flight

Seattle’s Museum of Flight is home to a wide array of airplanes, educational exhibits, and flight-related historical objects. An outdoor gallery displays the largest aircraft in the collection, including a Concorde, the first jet Air Force One, and military planes like the B-17F Flying Fortress. The indoor Great Gallery gives onlookers the thrill of seeing many of the planes suspended in flight, and the Lear and Space galleries focus on space travel, both its history and future. History buffs will especially love the Personal Courage Wing, which is dedicated to remembering the important role of aviation during World War I and II. Exhibits include 28 restored fighter planes, personal stories of pilots and air support troops, and interactive experiences like a flight simulator. Those who are fascinated with modern aircraft and flight innovation will want to take the Boeing tour from Seattle, a convenient way to visit the company’s facility. The tour includes transportation to and from the plant, a 90-minute tour of the assembly plant, as well as the facility’s many exhibits.
