Fans of aviation history aren’t the only ones that will enjoy the Museum of Flight (although, they might enjoy it the most.) Located just minutes south of downtown Seattle, the Museum Of Flight provides a thrilling way to learn about the aviation history that everyone will love. Seattle’s Museum of Flight has the largest collection of aerial artifacts on the west coast. Here, you’ll get the chance to look at over fifty planes that are in near perfect condition. In the Great Gallery (an overwhelmingly huge room,) you’ll see giant planes hanging in midair in the simulation of flight, one weighing over nine tons.

 

The Seattle Museum Of Flight begins with the earliest stages of flight, and takes you up into space travel. The displays are anything but dull: the Museum of Flight is known for its hands on approach. Exhibits allow you to personally experience what it would be like to be in the cockpit of a jet plane, or how it would feel to fly Top Gun style with the help of a motion simulator. You can practice docking with the Hubble Space Telescope, or experience life without gravity. You can learn all about the history of Air Force One, and actually see the first plane ever used for that honor. The Children’s wing of the Museum of Flight is fantastic, and both kids and adults will enjoy “learning to fly” using the tools provided. For the devout fans of airplanes, the Museum of Flight also has the west coast’s only British Concorde on display, which you can see from very up close. The “Personal Courage Wing” is devoted to the memory of air fighters involved in World War I and II, and is a touching and interesting collection. The Seattle Museum Of Flight is a fascinating and unique Seattle attraction that everyone will enjoy.
