This was a fun family field trip for us. They have a huge collection of flying machines, from early attempts at flight to the space shuttle. We especially liked seeing the SR-71 Blackbird. The view from the tower was amazing. There was not a lot of "hands-on" or interactive stuff for the kids, but they still had a good time.

It was easy to see everything without feeling worn out from walking. Parking was pricey, but the museum is otherwise free, except for imax movies. They also have a McDonald's in the museum, so we were able to eat lunch cheaply.

My daughter took a group class there. It was a lot of fun. The parking is easy. And the kids had a great time learning about space with an interactive slideshow, games, and experiments. After the class, we were free to see the museum and all it's offerings. The whole trip was fantastic and I plan on going to more classes with my daughter. Not to mention, it was very cool to see even movie memorabilia there, i.e. Transformers.
