Very interesting museum to visit with lots of memorabilia and exhibits you may have never seen before. A treasure trove of information. Also, the home of the final Flight 19 which has disappeared over the Bermuda Triangle during a routine training mission flight on December 5th, 1945.If you like history I would highly recommend a visit.

Very cool place to visit, Greatly put together to represent and experience the history USA Airforces

I love this place. A senior lady who used to work as a commercial pilot gave us a wonderful tour. They take such good care of the items in the museum. It really shows a community of pilots and people into Naval History. We had such a wonderful time in this small museum filled with rich history.

The Naval Air Station Fort Lauderdale Museum had been on my must see list for a long time and during a recent trip to Florida, my husband and I were finally able to go. We cannot say enough great things about the museum, volunteers, exhibits, and pure heart and dedication that was present during our visit. We wish that we lived closer because we would love to be frequent visitors and volunteers but we hope that everyone will make this an essential stop if you are in the Fort Lauderdale area! Thank you to the hard-working and dedicated staff who gave us an excellent walk-through tour, answered our questions, and even gave us something very special related to my husbands service that we will treasure forever. Keep up all your hard work and know that there are people out there (of all ages!) that appreciate what you do and will carry the torch of NEVER FORGETTING as the years go on!

Tourist attraction and it is super busy 24/7. My girlfriend and I couldnt get a decent photo without other people being in it :( But it was a sight to see and definitely want to visit the museum the next time we visit .

Bob and John lead the tour, they were very knowledgeable and professional. Highly recommend for aviation history buffs.

Absolutely amazing. Knowledgeable volunteers an extremely welcoming to those who want to learn more.

Small building with a ton of history. Our volunteer guide was very knowledgeable and passionate.

Beautiful old Florida building with lots of great history...

Amazing place. Its kinda a hidden gem even tho it sits right next to I-95. I havent noticed the place in the last few years when I was driving by the airport on I-95 as I was always busy watching for planes. Inside you find a wonderful curated museum with an awesome volunteer staff. They are happy to tell you stories about the history of the Naval Air Station and the exhibits they have on site. Its so much fun. Come swing by and say hi. Its also comes with free admission and free parking.

Very cool, small museum with friendly and knowledgeable staff. You can see the whole thing in about 90 minutes. Free to visit, donations recommended but not required.

Fantastic loved the tour great guide very knowledgeable. I thourghly enjoyed it and recommend schools take students to see it.

Little museum packed with artifacts of history. Driven by volunteers, who are extremely nice and knowledgeable. Check out the last log of Flight 19 that was sent from that base and disappeared off Bermuda Triangle. Also a room full of memorabilia of George HW Bush who was stationed there once. Dont expect large airplanes, but this little gem will provide your family with interesting historical tidbits... Worth a detour!

These folks that keep this place going are top-notch! I am grateful that this little museum has held on all these years and I myself will do whatever I can to defend its little corner In This World...

My 11 year old son loved it. The lady that gave the tour was very knowledgeable and she answered all his questions. He love World War II History thanks for making his day.

As a volunteer and granddaughter of a veteran, there is no place Id rather be. I learned so much, and met such amazing people. Captain Sarah, Brendan, Debbie, John, Gary, Murray, and so many others have put their hearts and souls into this museum and it 100% shows. This is a piece of living history, and an amazing place to educate yourself and others about World War 2.

Loved the museum, had the opportunity to hear the visit from a very nice and smart guy called Gary, he knows a lot of history and everything you ask he can give you an answer. Is a very nice place to visit if you are interested in airplanes or history.

Cool museum. Very small, but free and with free guided tours. You can go through the entire place in 20 minutes.

Take the time to visit. NO entrance fees only donations. Amazing staff very knowledgeable and friendly.

Gentleman who led the tour was very knowledgeable lots of memorabilia I wasnt in the services but my family was made me proud

Great tour, knowledgable curators.

Great staff, learned a lot. Worth a trip, especially if your into planes. Hundreds of model airplanes.

Great museum, to learn a lot about how much naval aviation grew up here in Florida.

Great little hidden gem. Wonderful docents!

Neat place to learn about WW2, Aviation, and Local history. All the information about Flight 19 is great.

Great place to see some history. Not very big, and not open every day. This place is supported by the donations they receive.Stop by and check it out!

Hiden gem

This is a hidden gem. I have driven by it so many times on I-95. It was easy to get to and we were given a great tour by Gary, a knowledgeable volunteer. Limited hours and days (Thurs.,Sat.,Sun.) I highly recommend it.

Very informative..free everyone should visit

Nice room with George Bush memorabilia. Lots of model planes and ships. Other interesting things to look at.

Great people in there very helpful.

Small museum, but good collection.

I valuable piece of WW2 history

This is a really neat little museum. Its small building but packed full. The volunteers are friendly and knowledgeable. We had a senior in high school named Dylano and a 7th grader (didnt get his name) that gave us our tour. They did a great job and I am so impressed with how they are choosing to use their volunteer hours. Worth the off the beaten path drive to find this hidden gem of history in such a busy, modern city.

Awesome!!! This place is the real deal. The building is original as are allof the artifacts on display. Our guide, Gary, was great. He had beena career pilot and he knew all about the history of the displays, where they came from and was very patient with us. He included personal stories of the aviators and their relatives who had visited the museum. I have lived in the area for over 30 years and was pleasantly surprised withthis little known gem.

Lots of volunteers there to give a tour and help with questions

Our tour guide did an excellent job.

Great Museum with a very knowledgeable staff. Great displays,models and exhibits. Free admission but donations are always welcomed to maintain the museum.

This place is small but packed with so much meat history. Knock and someone let’s you in. You get a personal guide which you need otherwise you’ll miss a lot.Our guide was awesome. You could get lost there and spend all day if you’re into history. We were trying to catch a flight so we only had an hour.Place is free. They do take donations of course.

Americans must visit to learn the real historical events that took place with our service men and women.

Great museum. Genuine volunteers who are passionate, patriotic, and caring about the country and the history surrounding the war. There is no admission, however I would recommend that you support the museum with a donation or by patronizing some of the products in the museum gift shop. I did both. I would definitely come back and I encourage anyone who is looking for a museum that is rich in heritage, knowledge and culture to visit this museum. Our tour guide was great. There were no issues with this visit. Me and my family enjoyed it thoroughly. The tour could take 1&1/2-2 hours, so prepare time for that.

We got to visit another hidden gym... an old abandoned air station, used for training pilots after WW II , of History, you like model airplanes, the story of the missing squadron (flight 19) history of naval aircraft, and the Bermuda triangle, this is the place.

Great time with my parents. Guide was extremely knowledgeable and passionate about displays..Very interesting museum of NAS ft Lauderdale.

No where on their site does it say to call ahead for a tour! It gives the hours they are open and if you have parties of 5 or more there is a donation request. I took a bus of 11 veterans to their establishment only to find they are closed for the day for filming which it also does not say anything about on their site and they would not accommodate us. Very unprofessional and now left with a bus of unhappy residents.

Oh darlings it was just absolutly wonderful. The people were exuisite and the statues were very tasty. you have to see this for yourself.

Chock full of WWII artifacts. The volunteers are great. Interesting stories. History buffs wont want to leave this place.

The staff is FRIENDLY !!!I’m so glad to stay there with that nice people sharing so many wwii history with me!Thanks

An absolute gem of a museum, and overall experience. Being ex-Navy and in aviation, I am particular as to what museums have to offer and what I think is good. This place is the real deal. Besides the George H. W. Bush items, the Link Trainer is worth coming to see. It is housed in a classic WW II wooden building. The staff is very congenial and helpful. You should not miss this place and its exhibits!

Great for older vets and run with love, nice place to go to learn a little local history

Amazing piece of history, guided tour provided by fellow veterans at no extra cost. wonderful experience. totally recommend it and afterwards you can just drive around the block and see aircraft land and take off while you listen to radio comm between pilots and the tower in FLL airport

Amazing. A must visit for everyone

Really interesting history and great staff. Lowkey but an awesome place to visit

It was really great if you flew airplanes. I did enjoy it the guide was very in formative. But we were disappointed, because my husband was on a ship during the Vietnam War and he drove torpedo retriever boats. When he saw the torpedos outside he was very much looking foreword to go in. There was nothing for him there. Maybe they could put some information about ships. Just a thought

Bob gave us a wonderful tour. Lots of memorabilia. Lots of history. Well preserved.

Great tour guide. Very interesting museum.

Full of fascinating artifacts and information. Too bad it is relegated to a nondiscript building tucked away on a side road. With government and private funding, it could and should rival similar facilities.

Great place to take Dad

Amazing! Lots of history and items on display. Schools should include the museum on their field trip list. 5, 10 and 12 year old kids loved it.

Became a volunteer for the museum a month ago and Im having one of the most exciting experiences of my life. Contributing my time and effort to maintain this museums historic footnote in American history is both fun as well as endearing. As a docent and (hopefully) historian in the future, I find teaching the populace at large a pivotal motion to give accurate info about WW2 on the frontlines and at home. Even further, from the Korean War to the present day. In turn, I hope to learn more from retired vets and other sources of credible significance about what I know and separate fact from fiction.Anyway, I recommend all ages with adult supervision for preteens and below.

Love this historic museum. Great knowledgeable guides

It was a great time very understanding showed a lot of history

It was a very good Memorial day experience

As a former naval pilot I found extremely interesting. Very authentic.

Great little piece of history. Kids thought it was cool seeing all the models and military artifacts.

Closed but want to go back later

Fascinating look into the naval air history of the region. Admission is free and it packed wall to wall with WWII artifacts and photographs, as well as an extensive library with books containing related subject matter. The museum is a non-profit with volunteers that either worked on the air base themselves or have very close connections to it. This place is a must-visit!

Awesome experience with tons of beautiful art.

There was someone to take us around and fill us in on many facts of the times and important facts. Then we were free to take our time to see everything. A must see if you are in the area.

Wonderful historical mementos and artifacts and Anthony our guide was great, very knowledgeable and friendly.

A great piece of history, perfect for the entire family

Knowledgeable Docents, plenty of artifacts to see... actually walking on the very same floor of an historic Avenger Pilot while he was training during the Second World War.

Weve been coming to Fort Lauderdale for years, but this was our first visit to the Naval Air Station Fort Lauderdale Museum. What a discovery! An historical treasure trove. With Gary Adams as our guide we learned so much about WWII aviation history, its actors, pilots, leaders. Photographs, artifacts, models, historical records of all kinds distinguish this too little known museum. In sum, a really thrilling experience. We also had the honor of meeting Edgar Buddy Galvin, a navigator, among other accomplishments, on B-24s based in England during WWII. His stories were as riveting as was kindness in answering our many quetions. A rare opportunity to meet someone whose first hand experience informed our understanding that period of our history. In short, we will return to this museum often. Highly recommended!

Loved it, their should be more and they should federal funding. It has a lot of info on the five navy Avengers lost from that base during world War II.

Great little WWII museum!

Very cool place with lots of very nice staff. I would recommend anyone go here given the chance.

Interesting place staffed by great people. Plan for double the time you think youll spend there.

Awesome WW2 museum! Amazing artifacts!Definitely worth going and checking out!Highly recommend!

It is a little small but dont be fooled the history here is rich and highly recommend for anyone even children!

Good people and a great place to learn about military history.

Excellent place

On The National Register of Historic Places. With the help of an all volunteer staff this museum has been instrumental in preserving the memory of Flight 19, one of the great aviation mysteries. Flight 19 flew out of NAS Fort Lauderdale on 5 December 1945, to vanish into the Bermuda Triangle. In addition, 19 year old future US President George H. W. Bush lived at this base as an Ensign, to train as a torpedo/bomber pilot. From October 1942 to October 1946 the base would train American and British pilots and thousands of aircrewmen from the US and other countries. In December 1999, the building was relocated to its permanent site at 4000 West Perimeter Rd., 2 blocks west from its original location.
