March Field Air Museum

My family and I had an amazing time exploring this museum! It's not just a collection of historical artifacts and display, it's an interactive and immersive experience that's especially enjoyable for children. One highlight was sitting in a real fighter jet cockpit, which made my kids feel like real pilots. They also got to hold a machine gun from the windows of an airplane. The indoor exhibits are particularly kid friendly, with plenty of hands on activities to keep them engaged. My children's favorite part was the flight simulator, where they got to "fly" a fighter plane from World War II. It's a fantastic way to make history fun and relatable for younger visitors. The outdoor area was just as impressive, with an extensive collection of planes from different eras. Seeing military cargo planes flying and landing nearby was a thrilling, real-world connection to the exhibits. There were also pretend military bases from Vietnam and Iraq where my kids can get a better idea of how things looked like.Overall, this was an educational and entertaining experience for the whole family. The museum does a great job of making history exciting for kids while also offering something for adults to appreciate. It's a must-visit for families looking for a fun and meaningful outing!

Jenn and her team went above and beyond for my husband's Celebration of Life..., Everything they did was amazing! The museum has so much to offer.... Don't let the outside confuse you ... inside has so much history and it's Really nice. ...I know my husband would have loved it... He was Vietnam veteran.... a captain In The Air Force so this was just the right place... Thank you Jenn! And all your Team!!!

My teenager loves airplanes. He wants to be a pilot. This was the place for him to hang out! I wasnt expecting it to be so large. You just gotta keep walking because there are little gems! They run on volunteers. The gentleman who checked us in was so friendly and nice. He set the tone for the place. They have a tram outside that will take you around. You can walk it as we did. There's so much to see. They did a great job on this museum. I got a Groupon for 2 adults which saved me $8 each. Even though I am not passionate about military airplanes, I ended up enjoying the exhibits. I highly recommend.

The March Field Air Museum is an aviation museum near Moreno Valley and Riverside, California, located in March Air Reserve Base. This museum is on a huge hanger with impressive collection of WWII artifacts, fighter jets, choppers, cargo and bomber planes. General Admission ticket is $18 bucks. Staff were fantastic. This is great place for aviation fans and a good place for families. It's easy to spend 3 hours in this museum. I suggest you put sunscreen or wear a hat on hot days if you're going to visit. Parking lot is huge. Overall, it's one of the largest aviation museum in SoCal. I highly recommend you visit.

Had a good time at this museum! There is an SR-71 inside and an array of over 100 planes and helicopters outside. As others have mentioned, wear a hat and shoes you don't mind getting dirty since you will be trekking in the dirt at some points. We also climbed up the tower and up the steps to get a closer view of the SR-71 and the museum floor. Brush up on your WWI and WWII info! There were some uniform and medal displays, but also some intriguing hand-written letters and personal stories. I watched part of a video with military personnel who were working in Hawaii at Pearl Harbor. One guy explained his work schedule prior to the bombing (which included checking out girls at the beach lol) then how the war changed navy duties. It was a personal and sobering account. The personal aspect makes this museum stand out. Similarly, the volunteers and staff add to the character of this museum.It was great speaking with to Bob in the communications & radio room who gave us a quick tour. He explained how they got their impressive equipment (was 1/3 of donor's collection) and was knowledgable of the evolution of radios. transmitters and receivers. I don't even know the diff between AM and FM, shortwave radio etc so this was all new to me. He even let us do some Morse code! Note this is still an active radio room.Other items - in the back of main museum, there is a whole enclosed area dedicated to the space race. It is easy to miss because you have to go through automatic doors, but don't skip it. There is a hallway by the restroom that was made to look like an underground subway area that wasn't all that interesting. That was prob the only area we skimmed through. I recommend March Field AIr Museum for a good history lesson, and if nothing else -- you get to see some cool military planes, helicopters and jeeps.

We were able to take our time and explore the museum in about 3 hours, but if we really read EVERYTHING in detail it would take multiple days to take in everything. It was bigger than we expected! I only had a basic knowledge of USA military and aviation history, but I left feeling like I learned a lot. I was engaged and fascinated the whole time. If you like historical fashion like me, then you are in for a treat! They have a ton of military and space uniforms on display that are so cool to see. There are many other artifacts on display too. I appreciated that there were non-United States centered information included in the displays too, such as acknowledgement of the Soviet space program and its contributions or the Vietnamese War uniforms. There is an indoor and outdoor portion of the museum, so bring some sunglasses and a hat because you'll be looking up at the planes a lot. I am way out of the target audience of this museum but I had a blast, so I absolutely recommend visiting this museum if you have any interest in military, airforce, spaceforce, or aviation.

This place is absolutely worth your time if you are into our military fleet. These planes are awesome. We happened upon this sight on our way home to Vegas and took a chance to see some amazing things. Our weather was absolutely gorgeous. I learned a lot of things by reading the wall markings and listening to different stories. Had just as much fun here as I did with the USS Hornet trip and Battleship Iowa.

On a hot day (but under 100F) we visited this museum. A lot of planes are outside and you can view them from the parking lot if you want. Admission is $18, free for veterans. The hanger is air conditioned but still warm. They have nice things inside. There is an exhibit where you can experience the bomb shelter during WW2 London bombings, and experience the samething in Hamburg. Much worse in Hamburg. They also have an SR-71 Blackbird spy plane that is impressive. Outside is very hot, but many planes worth seeing. The coolest (air temp) area is the gift shop! So duck in there if you get overheated.

They use a bus to drive you around the outside museum. The leader explaining all the aircraft on the field.

My husband and I visited on Saturday, Dec 28.Staff and docents greeted us with smiles and helpfulness.If you want to learn history, this is the place. Visitors can experience the full evolution of flight through an impressive collection of over 115 aircraft, spanning more than 120 years of aviation history.Be sure and take the tram ride. Cost $8.Gordon took us around moth balled aircraft and told us the importance of each to history. We ran into him throughout our visit and he always had another tidbit to share.Be sure to walk down to the hangar with the P-38 aircraft model and a little further down to visit the radio room. Docents are there to share history with you. All you have to do is..............listen.Great place for those who want to learn and honor those who have served.
