  I spent nearly 6h in this museum, which isn't nearly enough time to enjoy everything it has on offer. I particularly enjoyed the exhibits on early space flight, the Apollo missions and the aircraft pavilion ( outdoor so dress warm). There was even a free guided tour which lasted 45 minutes where Don Graves regaled us with stories about early flight, the advent of commercial aviation and some more around the hanging gallery. There are several learned deacons walking around to talk to the interested visitor: they're hard to miss is their smart blue blazers. I particularly liked the many penny presses available at the museum; they always make for wonderful souvenirs.

  Super impressive. For both adults and kids. Also, If you have a passion to stop and read/watch historical stories that form the base of present, this is the right place. Don’t miss as well the aircraft simulator you pay a little extra but worth it absolutely .

  I have lived in Seattle a long time and have never been to the museum. I wasn't sure what to expect, it sounds pretty boring but it was actually pretty fascinating to walk through the evolution of flight since its inception so many years ago. The war exhibit was powerful, sad, and interesting on many levels. I would definitely go back to see the rest of the museum. Overall, I would say this is a must see destination in Seattle.

  The Museum of Flight was one of the coolest things I got to do in Seattle. It is so impressive that humans go from gliding to space travel in less than 70 years, and the museum documents this well. There are some amazing examples of how dedicated and extraordinary humanity is when we work together. Make sure you give yourself plenty of time to check it out, there is a lot to see.

  Most recently I was here for an event so I didn't actually get to check out the museum, except for the event hall we were in. However, I've been before and I do every enjoy it. They have a lot of planes to look at, including my personal favorite the SR-71 Blackbird, and a couple you can sit it. There's even a space section with fairly up-to-date space information and the Space Shuttle training module.
