August 23, 2026ttravelingWay more than I expected
You really can spend 2-4 hours here between the 2 buildings. So many planes to see, and I like that each sign includes the service history of that specific aircraft. I don't know that I would spend extra for the tour of the Spruce Goose - you can still walk into the center portion with regular admission. Hopefully the DC-3 will also be available on the day you visit - fun to compare to today's passenger planes. Don't miss the space section in the Titan building either.

Large Air Museum, lots of exhibits
Hidden gem of an air and space museum. We were on our way up from Depoe Bay to Portland and had a few hours to kill. My husband had also heard that the Spruce Goose was in a museum in Oregon…my happenstance, this museum was at a halfway point for us, and worked out perfectly. Glad we stopped. This is one of the best air museums I’ve been to (I’ve been to a lot). Large collection of planes, from old biplanes to modern jets. The space museum also has some nice exhibits. If you are into aviation, this is a definite stop. Especially to see the one of its kind, the Spruce Goose. I’m glad it found a good final exhibit space (after its move from Long Beach). Plane lovers need to stop!

High flying time
Great showing of planes throughout history. Up close view of the spruce goose! Behind the scenes tour of how they are restored was interesting. Give yourself at least 3 hours to take it all in.

June 30, 2026Mark HThe perfect-sized aviation museum and still having an impressive and varied collection
This place is the perfect-sized aviation museum and still having an impressive and varied collection. It's a fraction of the USAF museum in Dayton, Ohio or the Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center, an annex of the Smithsonian Institution's National Air and Space Museum at Dulles International Airport, but it'll still take you a couple hours to take it all in. The Spruce Goose is the centerpiece, but there is so much more. I joined a tour group led by a volunteer and the anecdotes gave his talk greater depth than you would get just by reading the plaques. Highly recommend.

WOW! A Must See Museum!
A friend suggested we check it out and WOW! As an aviation geek, I was floored with this place. It's the home of Howard Hughes' "Spruce Goose", but it's SO much more! It's not just a collection of planes, but an awesome display of aviation and space program history. From a Wright Flyer to the SR-71, replicas of Mercury, Gemini, and Apollo capsules, various missiles, all housed in two huge buildings. There is also a theater and a water park with a 747 on top where the slides begin! It would have been worth the fee just to see the Spruce Goose, but you really get your money's worth! My only disappointment was that we got there a bit late and only had 90 minutes to check it out. I could have easily spent another couple of hours there.
