The staff is HORRIBLE. When I got there, there was no receptionist. We were forced to wait. We waited 10 mins, then I decided to walk in to see if he was inside the exhibit. I found him, and he accused me of not paying and disobeying the rules. I payed him, and brought my friends in. 10 mins later, he finds us and tells us that our time was up, and forced us to leave. He told us we had just arrived 10 mins before closing time. What a scam! The exhibit was so small, I got though more than half in 10 mins. Its not worth the $5 per person. The google pictures account for half of the exhibit anyways. Its actually more exciting to browse the history of aviation through the web than to go to this museum. If you wish to go to a museum, the Smithsonian Air and Space is far better, and just a metro ride away. (the tickets are cheaper than $5)

Great museum! Went there for a birthday party, and was very appropriate for children. Lots to learn, and even my 16-month old daughter enjoyed it. There were plenty of interactive activities, but probably could have benefited from a short film to get the kids more enthusiastic. A little confused by the gift shop - thought that they had actual Lego sets for sale, but they were knock-off cheap construction blocks - and were expensive. Will look for a chance to take my 6-year old son there soon. I would recommend giving this a place a try.

Excellent museum located on the oldest continuously operating airfield in the United States. Set up by Wilbur Wright to train military flyers, the site was also one of the earliest air mail locations. The museum has a strong collection of historic planes and artifacts. Lots of fun activities for kids - a great option instead of the Smithsonian Air and Space for little ones.

Excellent museum for young and old, pilots and non-pilots! Of course our crew especially likes the Berliner helicopter, but there is plenty to do and see for everyone. Very well laid out, a nicely rounded collection, and friendly staff. You can fly into College Park airport, or its easily accessed by public transportation.

They had such amazing pieces that I havent seen at numerous other flight museums. I loved it all and the people were kind. I only wish you had little metal planes for sale as Im trying to collect them. This was the first place that didnt have anything.

The model of the Wright brothers plane is very cool. Also, the museum seems to function as a de facto indoor playground for children under 5, so if you have some of these then it will prove to be a fun place for you.

I accompanied my 6 year old in a school field trip to the museum, kids loved it and they learned a lot about the history of aviation. A lot of interactive exhibits for the kids to keep it interesting is a bonus.

We love it! It appeals to children and adults--especially those with an interest in aviation history. The staff was very helpful and friendly. Parking is plentiful. Decent restaurants are close by.

The College Park Aviation Museum is at the sight of the oldest continuously operating airport in the WORLD which was built by the Wright brothers to train the first US Army pilots....so cool.

The College Park Aviation Museum is a (somewhat) hidden gem. Great place for kids and adults alike, with a really incredible history. Support your local parks and rec facilities and museums!
