San Diego Air & Space Museum, San Diego

There is a marvelous collection of aircraft. I was particularly impressed by the WW I era examples. The presentation is engaging. And the background information extensive and interesting. I would have spent a day here. And if I lived close by would visit periodically to attempt to absorb my fill. As it happens I visited as part of a group for which the facility had been reserved. Thus I have no knowledge about wait times, ticket prices or the like.

Fairly fun. The temporary Galileo exhibit was lots of fun since it was mostly hands on experiments beside simple descriptions of the physics. The siege exhibit was also really cool with a simulator for landing the space shuttle and a trivia game. I'm more interested in space flights than aircraft so I spent most of my time on that section of the museum. The airplane section was a lot larger than the space exhibit so I think it could be good if you're interested in airplanes. I wasn't quite prepared for the 9/11 exhibit but it was interesting and informative. Smallish museum but we spent a couple of hours reading placards and playing with the exhibits you were allowed to.
