Amazing museum with great history on LAX and aviation. DC3 in the lot but its not in great condition, not because the museum staff dont want to do anything. Lots of uniforms everywhere from way back. Also have an amazing view of the airfield with live radio scanner. If you have specific historical items you want to buy you might be able to ask Patrick if they have it.

Museum is small but has a great variety of very interesting artifacts! The staff was also very friendly and informative. They also let us take a quick look inside one of their vintage aircrafts. I like the fact that the museum is actually inside the runway so you can see all the planes taking off and landing just within a few feet away from you. I will be definitely be coming here again!

If you get a chance to visit the museum it’s well worth it. They have so many interesting artifacts and you get to see the airplanes at a very short distance. The director of the museum also mentioned they have an LAX bus tour the first Thursday of the month from 10:00-11:00 but call in advance just to make sure. Would be a shame to let this museum go to waist. I would spoil the visit if I mentioned anything else, so I communicate to all locals and tourist to visit you won’t be disappointed.

Fascinating, fantastic, and fun Museum on airplane travel that is family friendly. Step back in time when air travel was a pleasure and full of wonderful service. See all the lovely designer Airline steward clothing and paraphernalia that was available to clients in the past. Many model aircraft displays depicting the history of Passenger flights. An informative display on space travel was a delightful surprise. The staff was very well informed and fun to talk to. Flight simulators are available to students which is super cool!My suggestions to help Museum are.....1. Advertise! Advertise! Advertise!2. Get in on the tourist brochures.... Like the El Segundo map guide or other tourist oriented Maps or pamphlets. Get a pamphlet out to all of the airport terminals, hotels and restaurants that have tourist displays or boards. I also recommend you to check them out so you know what people look for. Offer a coupon to attract visitors, tourist always like to save money, even if it is on a donation basis.3. See if LAX airport can put in a small display to attract visitors to your Museum, and have a shuttle available for passengers that arrived in the airport to visit the museum. This will make easier access for people who do not have cars or have a short stay.4. Get in touch with other small museums like the Automobile Driving Museum (ADM). Learn how they make their museums work in terms of getting donations at the door (the ADM is very good at this). You can also form a partnership with them for dual attraction tickets. Find ways to help each other out!5. Get a flashier sign out front so people know youre there. Its kind of hidden. Perhaps one at each Street entrance to the museum.Best of Luck!

Incredibly friendly and knowledgeable staff and a great way to spend the afternoon. Free parking is available, however it is difficult to access without a car. A big collection of aviation related memorabilia, with many aircraft models and informative and interactive displays to see, as well as collections of old crew uniforms. A great view out onto the LAX apron by the freighter terminal, as well as access to ATC transmissions and a beautiful old DC3. A must visit if you have some time around LAX and have an interest in aviation.

I am so glad I found this museum! The staff are wonderful and gave us a great guided tour of the museum. There is so much history here!! There are lots of great small exhibits on the history of aviation, lots of artifacts and fantastic views of the runway. If you get a chance, check out the old plane they have outside. I can not wait to come for my next visit!

I love CalAcademy -- Im even a member. I dislike going there when it is full of screaming kids -- and it was slightly better being there when it was full of tipsy adults! Feline Nightlife was fantastic -- Adam the Cat Man from Hoodcats was DJing, CatTown was in the house and there were exotic kitties being shown (baby black leopard baby baby baby!!!).

Nice view from inside the museum of the Oshkosh P-15 ARFF truck once used by the LAFD.Lots of displays from major airlines.Photo collection is shared and on display at the nearby Proud Bird restaurant/food court.

Awesome place. Awesome staff. Incredible that its free. Will come again.

Great museum to visit, I could spend hours listening to the tower radio watching the planes taxi, take off, and land from their viewing gallery.

A terrific look at the airline industry and the people behind it. Highly recommended for anyone interested in civil aviation and the history of LAX. Be sure to go out and go aboard the DC-3 too!

Incredible place with fairly knowledgable staff, amazing that its all free! Kids love it too, well be sure to visit again. So much history...

The staff is so friendly! The lady that spoke to us was really informative. She kept my 3 year old and 16 year old egngaed while we waited for our turn to get in the airplane. The displays are also informative and in great condition! Perfect for the family! I love that you can see airplanes take off up close!

Highly recommended. This is a very interesting museum with helpful, knowledgeable docents.

Great place lots of information, it was so cool to sneak inside the vintage plane with my little ones. We really enjoy our 1 hr tour

One of the best aviation museums I’ve ever been to. It’s not an airplane museum. It’s an airline/LAX history museum and it’s phenomenal

Great museum! It does a very good job of presenting the history of LAX and the old airlines. Very interested museum would definitely recommend it!

Flight Path Learning Center is a great location to soak in a wide range of aviation history. There is a great deal of commercial aircraft memorabilia, including pins, luggage, suits and uniforms. A slew of models show a wide range of plane and planes types. The center is made of of many rooms, making it a delight to explore each and take your time.They also have a historic DC-3 outside, which you can go inside, sit down in - even in the cockpit! This is a learning center, and to further support that they offer Flight Sim training, with an impressive number of computers to support students.Pro tip - take some cash with you. Although its free, they do ask for donations. Take some cash so you can give to this great center.

Had a cool flight radio

I came here with my family and for anyone who has an interest in aviation this is a must! The staff are so passionate and easy to talk it makes for fun conversations. Many have ex cabin crew, pilots, enthusiasts or airport employees. You can pick up great merchandise here too! Fantastic little place

Cool place to take the kids. Adults would also enjoy the history of the airport and the various airlines. Employees are really nice.

This is a hidden gem in Los Angeles. You will learn about the history of commercial flight as well as about the history of LAX. They have an old Douglas DC-3 with corporate interior. You can go inside and see what traveling was like back then. You also get to go outside onto the tarmac, which gives you great views of the airport and planes taking off or taxing to the terminal. They have a ton of old airline uniforms on display. The staff is super friendly and helpful. They explain you everything if you have questions. Impressive is also the big library inside with tons of books about aviation and even operation manuals of aircrafts.

Great place for aviation enthusiasts. Staff was very nice and welcoming. Truly a paradise.

My husband and I visited the Flight Path Museum over the holidays and enjoyed it so much that we returned again today with the in-laws.There are so many reasons to visit this wonderful learning center! The history of LAX is presented along with memorabilia from the various airlines that have flown and continue to fly into the airport.The museum displays a DC-3 which was first operated by TWA and then, Union Oil. You can actually step inside and take a look, but because it is on airport property, a museum volunteer will escort you onboard.The volunteers have all worked in the airline industry and they are friendly, knowledgeable, and enthusiastic about sharing their love of LAX. Along with a front row seat to the busy runways, the best thing about the museum is that it is free! Although the price is right, dont let that stop you from making a donation to keep this gem up and running!Definitely a recommended place to visit!!!

Great little Aviation museum on the South side of LAX airport. Its free entry and its jam packed with airline memorablia, pictures, airplane models, posters....ect on the history of civil aviation in general and LAX airport. Additionally its possible to view the Douglas DC-3 outside the ramp and take pictures.

I had no idea there was a museum for airlines near the airport. This was a great find and I learned a lot of interesting facts about flying and machinery.

Joseph and the ladies on staff were super nice

So many cool things to see here. Aviation history, memorabilia, airline history as well as flight simulations available.

What a wonderfull place , the staff were warm and friendly, and the exhibits were amazing .Highly recomended

One of the best Aviation MuseumUnfortunately is almost empty all the time

Great display of the flight experiences of the early days of passenger travel

For good study to kids and adult.we love this museum :)

A must for folks interested in the history of LAX.
