Strategic Air Command & Aerospace Museum

Very cool museum. All inside and easy to walk around. You can go inside a few planes. They have a gift shop and a little eatery. You can also pay extra to ride the virtual rides which are amazing and very inexpensive.

My wife had been hesitant to visit SAC; however, I asked several times, then she spoke with people who had gone there, and finally I got a positive reply. After our visit, she admitted that she had enjoyed herself. That's high praise indeed! The exhibits are professionally done, varied, and extensive. There is something for those of all ages to see and do. And we did see people of all ages there -- even on a rainy Monday that probably kept some folks sitting inside at home. We loved the variety and sheer numbers of aircraft -- so many and from different eras too! Just getting all those planes in the display areas would have been a Tetris feat... We liked being able to go inside some of them or view through plastic windows to appreciate the cramped spaces that pilots and crew dealt with. We bought tickets for the planetarium show; but didn't think it was worth the additional $3 (senior) or $5 (adult) price. That was mostly about observatories in Chile -- which could probably be seen for free on the Internet. I had hoped for something about stars or constellations that could have been shown on the roof of that small inflatable dome. That part aside, it was a fascinating visit. The sections telling about astronauts were quite informative. The sections giving details about various wars were also very interesting. Another section that I really enjoyed were the Armed Forces specialty football uniforms that ringed the lobby area around the gift shop. BTW, there are some very nice items to purchase in that gift shop.

What a fun museum! We had some time to kill so drove out to the museum from Lincoln. It's a short drive and totally worth it if you have any interest in aviation. The museum had lots of static displays and even had hands on activities. The klekos section (rivets) was the favorite station for us adults while there was stations for kids to build and play. The displays were well informed and easy to understand. They were doing remodeling of some stations, but there was still plenty to see and do with some areas revised. We spent a good 2-3 hours at the museum because there was that much to do and read. The gift shop is not overpriced and they have a good variety of gifts for all. Worth a stop if you are nearby!

Really neat place! Lots of planes to explore as well interesting exhibits. Interactive exhibits to keep kids interest too. Cafe has a pretty basic menu but nice for a snack or light lunch. This probably sounds silly, but be sure to visit the bathroom on the bottom floor, it's so cool!

This museum is really cool. It gives you a lot of history of Airforce aircraft's & space the flight simulator was fun.

This was a great place to visit but it is in the middle of nowhere Nebraska, it seemed. The ticketing staff were helpful and full of knowledge. Unfortunately the f117a stealth fighter was being renovated, however it was still visible in the rear of the hanger. The museum has two hangers, several exhibits, etc. it was easy to spend 1.5 to 2 hours there esp if this is your first time there. The restrooms are space themed and even include a shooting star feature.

admission discountsthis place was greatall the hard work put into this is appreciatedbeen wanting to come here for yearsperfect!gift show lacks some good tshirts

Interesting museum if you're interested in airplanes and/or military history. Located in the middle of nowhere, this museum houses two large hangers filled to the brim with different types of aircraft. Although people are not allowed on these crafts, getting up-close and personal was still fun. There's a lot to see and do. For me, this was a great experience. I enjoy reading about the details and history. I was like a kid in a candy store.

Not recommended for kids 14 and under.This place is SO EXPENSIVE! $17.50 for an adult and $9 for kids. That means for a family of 4 it will cost you $53 to walk around.It's super dark in the hangers and hard to see well. In one of these hangers there are some experiment type things for kids to learn from. Out of these 7 stations 1 of them worked. All the rest of them were either broken or missing the parts to do the activity. There are do not touch signed on everything... you can't actually get in any planes and look around.My kids were board and we spent about an hour here. An hour for $53. If your older and have no kids this might be an okay afternoon for you to spend waking around slowly and taking in the history. I wouldn't recommend bringing your kids here and thinking your gonna kill an afternoon.

So much to see and do at this museum. LOVED the tribute to the world trade center towers. Very informative and well set up.
