The National Naval Aviation Museum is the world's largest Naval Aviation museum. There's so much to see and do, you'll want to stay all day!

See more than 150 beautifully restored aircraft representing Navy, Marine Corps, and Coast Guard Aviation. These historic and one-of-a-kind aircraft are displayed both inside the Museum's nearly 300,000 square feet of exhibit space and outside on its 37-acre grounds.

Enjoy free guided tours or fly an F/A-18 mission in Desert Storm in our 15-passenger Motion-Based Flight Simulator. See an IMAX® film projected on a seven-story high screen. Strap into one of the many cockpit trainers located on the Second Deck for pretend test flights or try your hand at defending a ship from the Cabot's anti-aircraft gun battery on the Main Deck in the West Wing.

Enjoy a delicious lunch at the authentic Cubi Bar Café, decorated with more than 1,000 squadron and unit plaques reassembled from the historic Officers' Club at Cubi Point in the Philippines. Take the Flight Line Bus Tour on a free 20-minute tour of the flight line behind our Restoration hangar.
