Perfect if you’re waiting for your flight and have at least 2 or, even better yet, 3+ hours to kill. I’ll 100% return! - It’s 100% worth the money, even if you’re not that much of a fan of aviation. The plane collection is really nice with plenty of plagues explaining technical data, the history of the respective model, and usually it also has some information about the life of the specific plane sitting in the museum right in front of you.
However, the best thing about my visit were the guides that were positioned around most of the old warplanes. So friendly and approachable, they all seemed very happy to share their stories and experiences. Even better, at least the ones I spoke to had served in the past and therefore knew a lot of stuff about the specific aircrafts from their time.
I went to the museum since I had time to kill before my flight. That’s convenient since the airport is only 10min away, but be prepared to need at the very least 3h if you really want to explore all of the museum in detail and have conversations with the museum staff. I got lost in one of those convos and almost missed my flight…

Cool collection in a neat location! - We went after hearing about this place via word-of-mouth, and we purchased our ticket vouchers here on TA because the official website wasn't selling tickets at the time. The admission price isn't cheap, but we found it worth it to see SO many types of air-and-space craft. Seeing a Blackbird up close is always a treat, and being allowed to board one of the Air Force One planes (and also a Concorde!) was really neat. Also a strong collection of historic military planes and some cool space items, including a few from Russia's space program. Staff were friendly and helpful, and was fun to periodically hear+see a plane take off from one of the Boeing Field runways right next to the collection. Definitely worth a visit!

The Museum of Flight in Seattle - My wife and I had a few hours before our flight back home. I did a search on what is there to see between Seattle and SeaTac airport. The Museum of Flight was one of the places to see. The tickets were $25 each for seniors. The museum was very large and had displays or passenger aircraft, aircraft used in World War I and II and experimental aircraft. There were single seater planes up to a Boeing 747. You were able to go inside most of the large aircraft.
The aircraft were displayed on the ground and hanging from the ceiling. It took us two and a half hours to see everything. The Museum is located half way between Seattle and the airport. It is well worth the visit.

Woah - This museum surpassed any expectations I may have had. The size and sheer number of exhibits is overwhelming! Definitely a museum that you need to make multiple trips to in order to truly appreciate it.
There is a section on the creation and evolution of Boeing. There is another section dedicated to the aircraft used in WWI and WWII. There are a couple of sections dedicated space travel and its development. There's just so much there!!

A "must do" during a visit to Seattle - For an aviation geek like me, this was a super-interesting visit!
At the tail end of a convention in downtown, I purchased a bus ticket for the easy 30 minute ride to a stop right at the front door of the museum (bus route 124). Bus fare was just $3 with a free transfer to come back, rather than paying $60 or so roundtrip for Uber.
I truly appreciated the opportunity to see and tour so many iconic aircraft, from the first B747 and B737 models to the Concord, Johnson's Air Force One, and more. My only disappointment in the walk-throughs was that the upper deck of the 747 is not open for tours - would have been interesting to see that area.
Exhibits in the main building across the street from the aircraft displays were all well-done and nicely explained, from a recreation of Boeing's early shop to elements of space travel.
Lunch at their snack bar was also good, and very reasonably priced.
I had about four hours to spend there, and while that allowed be to cover most areas, I probably could have enjoyed another couple of hours.
Admission price is reasonable, too. Enjoy!

This is a must visit for flight enthusiasts. I was so engrossed and did not realize that I had spent nearly 4 hrs here. - It is appropriate for all age groups and the staff is extremely friendly. Volunteers are knowledgeable and we had some exiting conversations.

A Tribute to Aviation and Flight - The museum is truly a remarkable display of both modern and early 20th Century flight. The display of the planes and the ability to enter and view the interior was truly unique.
Besides the planes and artifacts there were educational displays and descriptions of historical context adding further insight to the era in which it operated.
Overall a remarkable experience.

Amazing museum - You don’t have to be an aviation enthusiast to enjoy it. The place is huge. We spent over three hours there and still didn’t have enough time. We attended a docent-led tour discussing highlights of the planes in their Great Gallery. In the Aviation Gallery, you can walk through a Concorde, Boeing 747, Dreamliner, and an Air Force one. They have a WWI gallery with an original 111 year old fighter plane (Caproni CA.20). They have the original red barn which was Boeing ‘s earliest manufacturing facility. They also currently have an interesting art exhibit (in which a real MiG-21 fighter jet is covered with millions of colorful glass beads). In front of the museum, there is a beautiful TWA “Connie” displayed on a lawn near some picnic tables.
