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!
