Traveler reviews
Nooria Mohammed
★★★★★a month agoIt’s an amazing and interesting place to visit. My 5 year old child really enjoyed it too. It’s a big place to see so getting there earlier is recommended. Tuesdays are free, so you wouldn’t have to pay for the tickets. And there’s free parking inside the area too which was nice.

★★★★★4 months agoI was truly impressed by the number of aircraft in this museum. Being able to see them up close—and even touch them—makes the experience very special. There are so many Russian aircraft that I’ve loved since I was a kid, along with legendary and iconic planes, helicopters, and even commercial aircraft. I traveled all the way from Argentina, where it’s very difficult to find this type of aircraft, which made the experience even more special. For me, this was one of the best days of my life. Walking among these planes that meant so much during my childhood, and that my father taught me to admire, was something really meaningful and unforgettable.
