I wasn’t sure about the museum at first. It’s housed in the old TWA headquarters, but it’s surrounded by other businesses in the building. After finding what appeared to be a one room museum I was further concerned that I had to have a guided tour. I was totally wrong about everything. Not only does the museum extend to multiple spaces (with more interesting stuff on the way), but Greg, my tour guide was awesome. Even the gift shop, which contains actual TWA items, was super reasonable. Definitely a great way to spend an hour or so.

The TWA museum was pretty neat! Guided tour in which the guides are very knowledgeable, and had a lot of interesting facts! Cool to see how the planes became more and more technologically advanced and to see the actuall rooms and desks and materials they used on a daily baisis. The flight simulator was pretty cool as well!

Tour Guide was very knowledgeable, great artifacts, surprisingly more than I expected. We had a great time!

This place is awesome, our tour guide was awesome and we really loved all of his story’s he had, he was a former TWA worker and i was fascinated with all the history behind this lil place, definitely worth the money.

I really recommend visiting this place. People with passion.

I love this museum! The building was originally used by TWA and offers so much memorabilia. The museum features flight attendant uniforms throughout the decades, countless aircraft models, amenities and equipment offered and used by the airline, pilot training simulators, and a Constellation simulator you’re able to experience! What really ties it all together is the staff! Each tour guide has a unique history involving the airline which allows you visit multiple times and always hear something new. I definitely recommend making this a go-to in Kansas City!

Very neat museum, very nice guides. Will definitely visit again.

An absolutely wonderful experience. The folks working at the museum are amazingly friendly and full of knowledge. So much history and learning to do. Thanks, Mr. Frank! 5 Stars for sure

Awesome museums, lots to see. They have a flight simulator too!

Being here brings back the memories from yesteryear when I flew TWA remembering that period of my life with fondness.

Enjoyed the history of TWA from a employee perspective. The airline was the darling of the sky’s but it demise was premature. There is a lot of aviation history in Kansas with the Wichita manufacturing and the airlines based out of Kansas City. The exhibits and information was fantastic for any aviation buff. Some of the memorabilia makes me jealous. Enjoy and find the hidden treasure that this place has.

Great place to step back in time.

Nice museum for all things TWA.

Nice afternoon trip.. Interesting

This museum is FANTASTIC! There is so much crammed in, I feel you could spend a couple days here and still learn something new! The gentleman who guided us was extremely knowledgeable, friendly, and enthusiastic about the content within the museum. I really enjoyed our visit, and took home a couple of items from the gift shop.

Very nice museum.

Had a wonderful time. Since my Father is retired TWA, we had a surprise 80th Birthday party for him there and everyone was so helpful and it turned out that several of the volunteers used to work with my Dad.

This museum is on the smaller side but absolutely worth every penny to learn about TWA. The TWA Flight 800 exhibit was very somber and respectful.

Amazing staff! Interesting history!

Up, Up and AwayI love to find quirky museums that offer a treasure chest full of information. Today, that place was the TWA museum. How do you place 75 years of aviation history, 1925-2000, into one visit? Carefully and by order.The displays are well organized and with the help of either a pamphlet self-guided or guided tour, each case is labeled with pertinent information presented and coordinated with the brochure given after you pay the 10.00 admission fee. My favorite case, no.3, displayed the history of the TWA Hostess uniforms from the 1930’s through 1971. You’ll be introduced to the very first flight uniform drawn by George Petty. The Cutout uniform designed by Howard Geer provided a discreet flap cover that was used to disguise the user in uniform allowing her to smoke in public. In 1968 the ‘Foreign Accent’ dresses were paper and coordinated with TWA’s “Taste of Europe” tours. During the 1970’s, Valentino designed uniforms and the allowance of “hot pants” as a uniform option showed how current trends in fashion crossed into air travel.Other cases are collected memorabilia by TWA employees, vintage pilot uniforms, various menus for first class, the Amelia Earhart chair, the ground crews’ tools and more. You can experience the flight simulator by taking flight and landing a plane (so much for my career as a pilot). During the tour of the hanger you will visit the education room and LAX training equipment. You are later lead onto the tarmac to get a close up look at a couple of the TWA planes.I didn’t expect to have so much fun with the staff to the point I wanted to work as a volunteer. Pam B, the director, is a hoot and kept me laughing while she mixed humor with historical facts. Janet and Nina, volunteers in the gift shop, brightened my day with their kindness. And Arthur handled the high temperatures with grace as he escorted us out to the airplanes.Overall: For a small museum, you will find so much information at every turn and within every showcase. The volunteers are knowledgeable and a pleasure to interact with. This was worth the visit and brought back so many wonderful memories.

This museum is such s jewel, tucked into the downtown airport. The tour took about 90 mins. That alone tells you how much there is to see.There are pictures, memorabilia, models, an actual plane built in the 40s and simulators used to train pilots and cabin crew. I even got to sit in original seats from an actual TWA plane.Its true! We have lost a lot of leg room.Fun for all ages!

For an y aviation buff this is a must-see... Danny was our guide... And this whole museum is a labor of love for everybody that works there... From the oldest planes , medals and memorabilia to the planes that are parked in the hangar...to flight simulator and original chairs from some of the early DC flights... Theres lots of artifacts and mementos look at

A very cool piece of history. Our tour guide was a mechanic there for over 39 years who obviously enjoys what he does and knows quite a bit about the company. There are a lot of things there to see that are aviation-related, specifically TWA that may not be interesting to some but for pilots and those in the airline industry it is an impressive piece of history.

Unique opportunity to further understand the heyday of american aviation

Loved this museum! My dad worked for TWA for 36 years. I have the fondest memories of dressing up to go to the downtown airport for the Christmas party, and Santa handing out presents. We always dressed up to fly also, and thats still in my head when I fly. I really miss TWA.

The TWA Museum was super cool! On display was every kind of equipment, great plane models, real planes, all kinds of memorabilia, wonderful gift shop, and a knowledgeable and earnest staff. So cool!

Work as a Volunteer at TWA Museum.Hired in at TWA, 10 Richards Road, KC, MO on March 18,1968.Retired from American Airlines August 31, 2010.

This was a wonderful find in Kansas City, which is located inside the Signature Air terminal. We were looking for something to do on a nice afternoon and this was a great place to spend a few hours. There are some really cool artifacts and TWA memorabilia here. We were lucky when we took this tour on a Saturday afternoon, because our guide was a retired TWA mechanic and he was very knowledgeable about the history of the company and items on display

This was much better and more interesting than I would have thought. The tour guide was wonderful and a pilot himself.

I love go to TWA Museum, Im a TWA Brat !!

Great museum of TWA history.

If you like the history of TWA planes this is the place to come a great tour and very friendly Ill come back again

Nice little museum, no aircrafts though. A little overpriced if you compare with the airline museum right next to it, which has some nice planes to visit. The volunteers, former TWA employees, are nice and willing to give a nice experience.

Great little place off the beaten path. Especially good if you are an airline buff or ex-airline employee. Many small artifacts,airplane models, uniforms, mecanics stuff, and old training units. Had a great time with a gentlemen who gave me a personal tour around (it was a slow morning) trading old war stories.

Neat museum with a lot of history

Airplanes, uniforms, history, friendly & knowledgeable docents, and lots of photos. Highly recommend.

Small museum but an incredible experience! The people who work here are former flight attendants and employees of TWA who are more than happy to share their stories, as well as information on the history of the airline as a whole. Would highly recommend.

We had a good time and thought it was worth the admission. If you have no native interest in TWA, maybe not, but some of the trivia and artifacts are fascinating. The day we went, the restored Constellation airplane was closed because of the heat. Since that appears to be the star of the show, I docked them one star.

Tons of incredible history, the opportunity to walk through a real TWAplane, and all at a reasonable price! The museum seems small at first glance but there is actually quite a bit to walk through. My tour guide was excellent.

A nice museum if youre into airline or TWA history. Super nice folks working there. Lots of content if you take the time. A bit pricey though perhaps.

A cool collection of aviation history! The volunteers are extremely knowledgeable.

Annual hangar dance was awesome! Great people too

Awesome group of people. Must see for airline followers and aviation enthusiasts

An okay little museum that seems to be maintained by the former employees of TWA in the back room of a building that used to house TWAs offices. Its got a good variety of displays there of various artifacts and models. That being said, theyve got no actual aircraft on display, and they actually expect you to pay admission to see their two rooms of exhibits.I think that it would be in their best interest to merge with the Airlines Museum on the other side of the airport, as they actually have some TWA aircraft in great condition, but not that much airline memorabilia.

Nice museumSmall but eager staffReally enjoyed the flight simulator(The volunteer who helped me flew as a pilot for TWA for 20 years and was a Navy pilot before that)

It’s kind of dated. Military get in free, otherwise I would want my money back. Volunteers are all super nice and former employees.

I took my 3 year old son who is in love with airplanes. The staff was very knowledgeable and helpful showing him different parts of the planes and the history behind them. Would highly recommend it!

Fantastic place. Aviation lovers will feel right at home. The museum group has gathered a wonderful collection of twa items from a long lost but not forgotten era. We met some wonderful and passionate people who are true lovers of twa and the world of aviation. With much passion twa airport lounges were recreated in full seize, educational equipment is on display and the soon to open library will reveal treasures of its own. Take a flight in one of the simulators, engage in a conversation regarding the twa 800 tragedy before you pick up a souvenir in the gift shop.

I LOVED it and we are going again next chance we get!!

Great stop if you are in town. Very passionate people volunteers at this Museum.

Great and nice place to stay!

If your in history. This is a place for you.Set in an old TWA hanger./ building. Shares the building with Signature Avations FBO. Neat place...

Its awesome to see all the displays, brings back A LOT of memories going with dad to the hangar!

Fun small museum. Takes about an hour, and you learn quite a bit

Very cool museum with lots of TWA history, ran solely by passionate volunteers!

Loved it! Very entertaining!

Great for experiencing and learning about the history of this premiere airline.

Brought back a lot of memories of my late mother-in-law. My wife loved it!

Excellent tour guide and memorabilia

Great place to visit

This is a fun museum for all ages. The staff here is knowledgeable and visitor friendly.

Impressive array of TWA memorabilia, needs to be better organized, and better signage to enter the site.

A little pricey for not much to see, but the volunteers are so sweet and they really know their history. Worth a peak at least once.

Great little museum with history of the airline. While I was there I was lucky enough to see one of the early planes that was flown by TWA, a Lockheed Electra

Super nice place to take a Shinto.

Love the Connie.

Wonderful memorabilia of Aviation history.

Walk in the footsteps of Howard Hughes.
