The museum shows some history of airplane and space travel. You can see satellites and space suits from the space race with the Soviet Union. You can see historical artifacts from Amelia Earhart, the Wright Brothers, and Lindbergh. You'll also see military planes from WWII and unmanned aircraft. One of my favorite things to do was tours the upper level and a jumbo jet. The museum has an IMAX theater and a food court. It also has a gift shop.

Visit Instructions:
Because of the vastness of many of the "non-localized" sites (Gobi Desert, Great Wall of China), waymark owners are encouraged to allow visits that reflect different perspectives and experiences.
Localized waymark sites (Structures, Landmarks, Businesses) should reflect standard waymarking visit criteria (Logs & photos).
