Experience Aviation Like Never Before

The Amelia Earhart Hangar Museum honors Earhart’s aviation legacy and inspires all generations in the pursuit of flight.

The centerpiece is Muriel — the world’s last remaining Lockheed Electra 10-E — an aircraft identical to the plane Earhart flew on her final flight. Muriel is named after Amelia’s younger sister, Grace Muriel Earhart Morrissey.

Fourteen, interactive, immersive STEM exhibits take visitors through Earhart’s adventurous life — from growing up in Atchison, Kansas, to the height of her worldwide fame — as the first woman to fly solo across the Atlantic Ocean.

We had a great time! This is a great history and educational opportunity. Children and adults will love the highly interactive experience!

This place was fantastic! It is an interactive museum. The welcoming guides were friendly and informative. My sister and I enjoyed it as much as my nieces did. It had history about Amelia but also other innovative women and impactful people in aviation.

The staff were INCREDIBLE. Kind and very knowledgeable about every single thing in the museum. There is plenty to do and see. Lots of interactive displays. Incredible amounts of information to be found. I loved seeing all of the pictures and being able to read about Amelia from her childhood years into her piloting years. My wife and I had a great time! We can’t wait to visit again soon!
