What a nice place to visit. I was amazed with how big it was, filled with actual planes that are in working condition. There was so much history in there along with a guide that would walk you through a "tour" of the place. We were also fortune to see a few of the planes being shifted around. We had our 4 year old with us and she even enjoyed the time although I would recommend some type of trolly because you will be walking quite a bit especially if you want to check out the WW1 and 2 wings. Overall, this is a great place to take the family, for veterans or anyone that wanted to change up the pace and have something interesting to explore.

The Military Aviation Museum is an interesting stop for aviation enthusiasts. It features a collection of historic aircraft and informative exhibits. While it's informative, the experience can feel a bit dry for those not deeply interested in aviation.

A cute little museum packed with so much history and character. All of the people who work here were an absolute delight. They were all so nice and knowledgeable. They enjoyed answering questions and showing you around. A great place to take kids as long as they're not touching the aircrafts because they kindly ask that you don't. They have a little spot upstairs for the kids though where they can color and read books and play with toys.The bathrooms were clean and they had a changing table in there.They also have guided tours to see more outside of the main building where the aircraft were.Outside of the museum, they have a little area with metal dinosaurs and it was my toddler's absolute favorite part. I enjoyed coming here. It was very quiet and not overstimulating at all.

My family and I had a great time at the museum. We loved seeing the old airplanes and the special exhibition on the flight jackets. We wished we'd of gotten to see the control tower. The exhibition on German planes was pretty good, and we found a special inscription on a hangar beam from a forced labor worker.

Low cost entry for your aviation enthusiast. The volunteers at the museum were awesome! You get so up close and next to all the replicas! My son absolutely loved this museum. They do have a couple planes that are originals. We spent over 3 hours here with the tour included. Multiple hangars. They also rebuilt a watch tower on the property. It's a little far out from Virginia Beach, tucked away in a field but so worth it! Don't forget to check out the museums gift shop!

Great experience and collection of planes. The volunteers willingly share a lot of history and what it was like at the time. A must see when you're in the area.

This was an excellent museum to visit. Take the tour it is amazing. There is some walking and you do go up a narrow flight of stairs. At one point, but you don't have to, the planes are amazing and our guide Flash, was excellent. I highly recommend this visit.

I have been to The Military Aviation many times and always delight in introducing it to friends. I took a friend there yesterday and enjoyed a fabulous docent tour with "Flash"! Flash knew all of the aircraft inside and out and had terrific stories about the history of each. I think it would take a week to exhaust his knowledge which is why it's fun to go back again and again. This is the most fun museum I have ever visited. I live an hour and a half away but I'm going to become a member today.

Warren was absolutely the best tour guide at the museum! He was extremely knowledgeable and passionate! I had no idea we had a gorgeous piece of history hiding in our backyard here in Virginia. Thank you for a wonderful day!
