Great museum for little ones. Has enough hands on play areas to amuse and the bits of information sink in easily with little to no confusion for. 5 and 3 year old. We didnt have our kids try anything on for dress up but they had great choices if your kids are into that.

A fun little museum. It has a mix of static exhibits and fun interactive piloting games. A small but very nice gift shop. The Girls in Aviation event was great! It was a really good event to attend with my daughter. She especially enjoyed talking with the skydivers and trying out the gear. It was really cool visiting the helicopters outside at the College Park airport which you can see from the museum.

A hidden treasure in College Park. Home of civil aviation for over 100 years in the Washington DC area. The staff is extremely friendly and the cost is reasonable. Not a large place, but they have managed to pack in a whole lot of history and aircraft from world war 1 to airmail to cubs and local aircraft manufacturers. You need to stop and check them out.

This is a great museum for kids. It is small, but well worth the low price of admission. There are multiple flight simulations for kids to try. There are also a plane and helicopter that kids can touch, climb into, and pull levers inside. For adults, there is lots to read about the history of aviation. Who knew that the worlds oldest continuously operating airport was in College Park, MD?

Highly recommend the guided tour to navigate this wonderful museum. The secret needs to be out... a remarkable adventure for the entire family.

This place is awesome. We went in for special event called Santa flying in. Santa came from a flying chopper which was cool. The museum is very neat and they had tons of crafts stations for kids to create all the Christmas ornaments and letter to the Santa. The best part was meeting Santa of course. My 6yr old think this must be the real Santa since he had a real beard. They even took picture and print out! The people working here were all super friendly and cheerful. It was very nice experience and we all had blast. I am definitely returning to this place again.

A hidden gem. We were surprised by this museum so close to where we live. The history of Firsts that this airport held is amazing. There are lots of interactive displays that kids will enjoy. A docent was walking around and engaging the families with activities too.

We love it here. My son loves throwing paper planes in the wind tunnel and the flight simulators. Theres also a great out door spot where you can watch planes and helicopters take off and ride on wooden model planes

CSEC Loves this museum, its great! We advertised the MGRS coords!UMDCTF-{milit4ry_loc4tion_tr4ck1ng}

For its size, it is an amazing museum. Plenty of things to read, learn, and play with there. Many activities for children, and it is next to an actual municipal airport where children can watch planes take-off and land. An inspirational museum in an inspirational setting. There is parking at the museum and it is also an easy walk from the College Park Metro Station.

Small museum! But kids till had a great time! They love it gettimg on the simulator airplane and helicopter that make the experience more fun for them. I Found a Groupon for this place last minute,so I decide to take the kids. Worth it!

This is such a great place to come with kids. We brought my five-year-old on a frigid winter day and he spent an hour-and-a-half entertaining himself and playing in the kids section. Its a working air Field as well so you can see planes taking off and landing if youre lucky.

Always excellent visit with two toddlers. Displays change pretty frequently. Highly recomended!!

This museum is fantastic. There is so much to do for young children. Lots of hands on activities and really well done. Everything looks clean and in good condition. I highly recommend this gem of a spot especially if youre visiting DC.

Kind and knowledgeable staff. My kids were truly entertained, did scavenger hunt and watched aircraft come and go. Great experience!!!

Great place for little ones! My son is three and he loved it! Its not too big, it wont tire your little ones out. The only down side is the only place to eat food is outdoors. Other than that, its awesome. We will be returning!

We took the grandboys here, what a wonderful place to learn about early aviation, and entertain the children with many hands on activities.

What a treasure this little museum is and not only do they have extensive information on the Wright Brothers and multiple aviation industry firsts, but the interactive displays allow visitors of all ages to sit in the cockpit and simulate the first flight experience. Very well done and dont pass up the gift shop.

Very nice little museum, kid friendly.

Cute and inexpensive little museum with model planes, arcade style flight simulators, hands on flight and science exhibits, and even an outdoor play area. Great for toddlers and young children, with exhibits that will interest the adults as well. The museum is located at the College Park airport, and there are large windows to view small planes taking off and landing.

We have a 5 year old and a 4 year old and this was very interactive for them. They enjoyed trying in different clothes, riding a bike, sitting in an airplane and touching most of the exhibits! We got a Groupon which mad either even more affordable!

Consider these a small museum but youll learn something. They have flight lesson station where my daughter enjoyed games, puzzles, coloring and reading. They have mini costume booth for mailmans, pilots/ plane crews for kids to try on. A nice patio large enough for toddlers with some mini wooden planes to ride on for small kids. These place is good for kids ages 7 and below.

A must see museum if you love aircraft and history. A gem of a place if want to learn more about early days of flight in America. A special place for children. The gift shop is first class.

The place is a hidden jury. It contains my earlier plane models and any interactive gadgets. The place is clean. It is well maintained and stuff are very friendly. It also has great view -- the only barrier between the museum and airport lane is the museum glass wall. It as shame that too few people know this place.

At first I did not want to go there. But once you get there, there is Hands-On experiences that can give you the real life. Me me to be a pilot

Fun little museum. Hands on. Great place to visit with curios kids.

This is a great museum for adults and children alike to learn more about aviation

Good small museum. Limited activities but priced accordingly.

College Park Aviation Museum is a wonderful little museum for those who enjoy a hands on experience with their youngest to older children. From exhibits that teach how aircraft work and have changed over time to aircraft and helicopters children can climb into to hands on touch exhibits using air and cockpit controls, it sparks the imagination. Our 3 and 6 year olds love coming here. If you haven’t been before, give it a try and pack a lunch to sit on the roof deck our outdoor courtyard replete with little climb-in push planes on wheels.

Fantastic museum. So many things to see and learn.

Clean modern facility. Great historical exhibits.

Great customer service. Nice small museum with alot of history. Must go especially if you live and Maryland its right at your fingertips. It was a great experience. I will return back!

Really good for kids, they can go inside some planes and get dress with costumes

Tour guide was awesome! Funny, knowledgeable and took time to answer individual questions!

Really nice,good collection of planes

Amanda, Marlo and Daniel were all very helpful in getting the BSA Aviation merit badge. The facilities and people were all very nice and informative.

Wow is this place cool: aircraft, simulators, a wind tunnel, cockpits - very well done!

Great museum, much learn, very fly high

Awesome museum with alot of local history.

Very fun little museum, even for preschoolers. They have a lot of hands on games and learning experience including crafts and lots of dress ups. There is a place and a helicopter they can climb in and pretend to fly. There are quite a few large planes to look at and at Christmas time they do a pretty good train display for a week. Worth the visit every time.

Very nice place for meeting space. Space to eat outside, bathrooms clean and mtg space spacious with two pulled down screens.

Fantastic little, great for young and old museum. Being your camera as there are hands on activities. The entrance price is very reasonable prices; but there are several events were everyone enters free. Ask for the activity booklet when you enter. If everyone in your house completes the book, your next entrance is free. Of you feel like a walk, there is a trail behind the building that takes to Lake Artemesi.a.

Great experience for the kids, they had a great day. I enjoyed the art pieces also and my daughter loved the plane to sit in will def return again. Great family fun.

The best museum is you want to know the history of flight.

Interesting exhibits in here. Loved it. You can control some of the planes that are on display. Has flight simulators. Reasonable prices. Could improve on the size though.

Until they get some diversity in their museum it will be a disappointment to me. I grew up around culture and need to see that reflected in the places I visit. But it’s a place with great potential right at a little plane airport. It’s classic. Get some black pilots on your walls. How about all the other variety of humanity that has flown planes here in the States. Let’s see that reflected. DIVERSITY IS NECESSARY. Representation matters.

My grand kids loved it but then you get to be more stuff in the museum

Nice place in CP that most outside the city are not aware of. Head there for an hour. Bring your kids too

Good for a local museum but doesnt take more than 45 min to see everything with kids.

One of the great small aviation museums in the United States. Situated on the University of Maryland, college Park aviation museum is where it all started. the Wright brothers brought their planes here to show to Congress and the military. Good for small kids and the elderly. Fun Hands-On stuff and not too big a museum.

Kids can plan with some demos, get dressed up. My toddlers loved it.

Awesome hidden gem with great artifacts and displays....

Small but nice. Its a very good first time avaition experience for kids

It was as a great experience and good time hanging out with my boss Chis Chisolm at the MAMA meeting today

Well worth the admission price of only $5 to learn about the Wright Brothers and the importance of America’s first military flight school.

Wonderful place to learn something about aviation but some facilities were broken and staffs were not friendly.

An excellent preservation of the history of the oldest -continuously-operated airport in the United States. Has a few interesting aircraft on display and interactive displays. A good place to bring kids

Very nice. The kids were able to get on several plans and simulation stations.

Great place to take toddlers/small children. Staff is super friendly. They have a play place that is adorable and kids really enjoy it

Great experience for children of all ages. The history of airplanes, pilots, and all things aviatuin. The hands on activities are awesome.

Great museum for a weekend visit!! Not too big so it didnt overwhelm you. The kids loved the interactive planes they could climb in. Younger kids will like the scavenger hunt. Glad we finally visited!!

Cozy museum with fantastic activities for kids.

Learned so much about the beginnings of aviation and how its progressed throught the years. Lots of kids activities as well. Well worth it! We plan on going back for more!

Ive been there 2 weeks ago and I really love this so much, nice airplanes and the pilots with many others. It Is really awesome and beautiful place to enjoy and relax.Nice people helping me tell me about the history of the airplanes of many years ago .

Great experience. Loved the interactive displays

Great place to learn about American and World Aviation History. Starting with the Wrighr Brothers to how this is now the oldest continuous operating airport in the World. Fun place for kids, school and club trips and being in an environment where STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering & Mathematics) is used every day to provided services. Take the tour and get ready to be amazed with what you will learn about the last 100+ years of Aviation.!!!

Great experience Im not gonna lie , specially since I work at the Airport . tHis place has a bigger meaning for me, since I could relate to it.

Our tour guide Patrick was very informative, engaging and entertaining. The kids had a blast. Very clean and fun field trip. Not over crowded. Would definitely recommend going.

Nice place for kids , nice costumer service.

Nice small museum with a few early aircraft.

It was a nice place to check out.

Im very disappointed that my family & I drove nearly an hour to see the planes. When we arrived, we discovered that the museum closed at 2 pm instead of 5:30 as listed on the website.

Its a historical place for yo to learn

Heritage aviation museum, since the college park airport is the worlds oldest continuosly operated airport

Please note the weekend timings have changed - 10 AM to 2 PM on Sat and Sunday.

Great small aviation museum located next to the historic College Park airpark. Carries several planes from the early days of aviation, including an intriguing very early (and very rare) helicopter. Has some nice history of the ERCO company, a small airplane manufacturer that was located less than a mile away. My kid likes their gift shop, too. Some nice hands-on exhibits, to boot!

My kids love this place. Their faces light up whenever I mention going. The admission is very reasonable. Its really a hidden gem!

I love this park for small kids under 10 because of the hands on activities. I wish they would work on having more diverse exhibits about aviation. Not much on women in the field.

5 bucks. Relatively small. You can be on and out real quick. The place was free on this college Park Maryland day. They have a small play ground. You can watch some planes take off.

Great historical lesson.

This is a Hidden Gem. It is a superb Museum with lots of activities and things to touch for kids up to the ages of 8. The gift shop here is very reasonably priced. The staffer extremely courteous and very helpful. The ticket prices are very reasonable at $5 for adults and $3 for kids.

Good place to take kids, they have planes and helicopters for kids to sit in, pilot costumes and other fun activities. There is no food or drink stall so plan to bring those yourself. Inexpensive entry and there was a groupon available as well

Great for small children and old aeroplane buffs alike.

A quiet little gem in college park - we were the only ones wandering the interactive exhibits and the cool kids play areas. Well worth the price of admission and frequently has deals on groupon

Great museum and very knowledgeable staff.

The aviation museum is part of the worlds oldest working airport and was founded by the Wright Brothers! It is a small museum listed in Atlas Obscura website, which is where I learned about it. Admission is cheap and is a good place for young children!

Very nice museum with a lot of interesting things to see and learn. Very good if you go with kids, they can ride several things and learn about the basics of flying.

Small snd quick but they have a few interesting airplanes

Good place to take the family and learn about Aviation and history

It says open daily on the map but not today for whatever reason. Update please.

A great place! Lots of fun hands on exhibits and very kid friendly!

Great museum

Family had a lot of fun here. Its a little small and could use some updates. If youre in the area give it a look and help support history.

This place is a great small historical landmark. Fun for the kiddies .

Informative curation, cool exhibits from first few decades of U.S. aviation, friendly staff. Enjoyable for small kids.

Soo amazing to have lived soo close to this awesome historical.site!!

Historic and good for kids.

Great for four year olds.

Very cool place, friendly and knowledgeable staff to boot. Thanks for an awesome tour!

Several hands on activities for young kids as well as interesting information on aviation history for adults.
