My daughters "happy place" is anywhere she can see aircraft. While on a recent pass through the area she saw the grissom air museum and requested that we visit again sometime soon. Today was that day. One detail that we liked is that the self-guiding walking tour outside not only mentions the particular kind of aircraft you are viewing and some interesting facts about it, but says interesting facts, history, and so on about THAT PARTICULAR aircraft. It makes it much more personal. A GREAT venue for anyone who values and appreciates American military aircraft. I look forward to seeing how it evolves over time.

Happened to be passing by on US 31, saw the aircraft displays, did a quick 180 at the next intersection and visited the museum for a short visit. Spoke at length with volunteer John, a 40 year USAF vet. He was charming and a wealth of information. Checked out all the various aircraft on display. All but a couple were in really good condition with very informative plaques by each aircraft. Wish I had more time to spend inside. Well worth the effort. Admission fees were very reasonable.

This was my first time in this area and also to an aerospace museum. It was small, but cant wait to bring my grandkids here, I think they would have a blast! For a smaller museum, they have quite a few things the kids can sit and pretend they are the pilot. Not just all boring stuff to read and look but dont touch! Also, the little gift shop has reasonably priced items to purchase which helps the museum ... How can you leave without buying SOMETHING?!

Perfect for a family outing. The kids loved the real life cockpits you can enter for a picture. The Huey helicopter and F4 phantom were their favorites. They have a display of a jet engine cut open to see how it works. To see a F14 tomcat was stunning. They also have an sr 71 blackbird drone, F4 phantom, and refueling jets.

This museum is fairly small but has a bunch of history packed into it. The staff is amazing, including many veterans, and even a WWII veteran that was on a B17 crew and survived being shot down, not to mention survived a POW camp. This is a must visit destination if you want to learn about Grissoms aviation history.

The staff were very kind, helpful and knowledgeable! My kids learned so much and had fun making the movie "Space Wars" while at the museum! :) They are already talking about wanting to go back the next time we are in the area. Being able to climb up the Air Traffic Control tower was a bonus.

This is one of the best museum that everyone should visit. Alot of hand on planes for little kids to climb up and pretend driving. And alot of intersting history planes for adults to see. Staff there are super nice and very kind. One of a must visit in Indy.

My grandson enjoyed everything about this museum. The person who greeted us was very friendly and very helpful. My wife and I were surprised by the number of planes and the variety. Will return with other relatives in the future.

Friendly staff and is a nice place to stop by and visit on your way through to stretch your legs. Planes are awesome and well kept. Really nice building as well. Highly recommend if you are into aviation.

This is a wonderful stopping point for families traveling in the area. Not a large area but still nice. They have several cockpits for kids to climb into and play around. Very child friendly.

Pretty cool stuff inside of the museum. The staff was very friendly, especially John. He was very knowledgeable and fun to talk to! The planes outside were awesome!

Scott Pavlock

Awesome little museum. Plenty of historically significant aircraft that you can walk right up to. The gentleman working the entrance was very welcoming.

Jacob Woods

Lots of historical planes to see and read about. Plus we were able to watch planes landing and taking off from the nearby Grissom Air Force Reserve Base

A small air museum. Aircraft outdoors but in decent condition include somewhat rare B47 real rare B-58. If you are close it is worth a stop.

John Moore

Indoor/outdoor museum with a good variety of military aircraft from trainer jets to bombers. Great hands on stuff for kids.

Chadrick Poole

Knowledgeable staff, lots for the kids to see, touch and do, and not bad for the parents too. Well priced gift shop!

The people who run the museum are super nice, and the museum itself is quite interactive. I love it!

I love the aircrafts that are there! Wish there were more! Needs more helicopters, too.

Its very nicely maintained. Nice people, but a little on the small side.
