This museum is a state of the art science museum also covering history of flight. It has about 40 aircraft and hundreds of artifacts on display in the building. There is an admission fee. The museum has meeting space, educational & youth programs, large restoration spaces & a gift shop. As a retired museum manager I will say that this is a must see for those with any interest in aviation, science, and or museums in general. There is a lot to see & do on this mountain top, we suggest you may want enhance your visit with web research before and/or after your trip.
