Museum of Flight
Boeing, the world's largest builder of aircraft, was founded in Seattle in 1916. This facility at Boeing Field, close to Sea-Tac airport, houses one of the city's best museums, and it's especially fun for kids, who can climb in many of the aircraft and pretend to fly, make flight-related crafts, or attend special programs. The Red Barn, Boeing's original airplane factory, houses an exhibit on the history of flight. The Great Gallery, a dramatic structure designed by Ibsen Nelson, contains more than three dozen vintage airplanes. The Personal Courage Wing showcases World War I and World War II fighter planes, and the Charles Simonyi Space Gallery is home to the NASA Full Fuselage Space Shuttle Trainer.
Tips:
-You can easily spend an entire day here reading all the information. They also have different tour you can take at different times.
- You can grab a meal at the on-site restaurant.
-The museum is en route to the airport, so choose your arrival or departing day to make the trek to the museum (saving you some cab fare along the way).

This museum sounds similar to the Smithsonian in DC! I love learning about how the mechanics of the planes worked and how everything has evolved!

ReplyDeleteI'm always fascinated by this as well! I got to go to a really cool museum like this in Manchester.
ReplyDeleteWow! So cool, my grandfather would have loved that museum! I wonder if he's actually gone to it.

ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful experience you had! Killer shots!

ReplyDeleteCool. I've been to a few aviation museums. The best time I had was when a friend, who's a commercial pilot, joined me and gave me an entertaining explanation of aviation facts and history. My own personal tour-guide! He's offering to give me a free ride in the personal jet he flies (for rich clients) and I'll do that soon.
