I missed the Spruce Goose in Long Beach all these years, so I decided to make this effort in my Oregon trip. The museum is massive. It contains nearly all of the model planes I built and hung inside my bedroom as a kid. The Spruce Goose is made of laminated plywood, including the joints! An incredible amount of money went into building this obsolete plane. Pretty much all of Aviation history can be found in this museum. Don’t forget to see the Space exhibit collection at the adjacent building. Go to downtown McMinnville for a nice lunch, instead. The 747 on the rooftop houses a kids waterside.

A Must See in McMinnville!
Definitely worth the admission fee! Join a docent guided tour for best experience. Allow three+ hours to see everything. Lots and lots of airplanes to see and stories to read. A special highlight was seeing a C47 plane...the kind my dad would have flown in WWII and Korea to fly out the wounded.

Something for everyone
The "Spruce Goose" may be the most recognizable draw in this museum, but there is so much more to see and learn about, including the newer space exploration building. An easy day trip from Portland, or a great stopover enroute to the Oregon Coast. We didn't know about the Wings and Waves water park next door, but made sure to visit it on the return leg of our trip.

Went to see the Spruce Goose, which is huge! There are two separate buildings. One for planes and one for space. Unless I missed it I was sad to see no mention on the space sided for the dog and chimp that went up in space and also died doing so.

So glad we went!
We spent 3.5 hours and could have stayed longer. There is so much cool stuff to see from WWll planes to space ships and rockets. Very well done!
