The amazement on my kids’ faces when they see a real F-15 up close is so worth the trip! We learn something new every time we go, and always have the best time. Bring a lunch - they have picnic tables in their playground area. This is a truly wonderful road trip stop, or destination in the central Georgia area. They restore the aircraft here, and when we were there last week we could see they were in the middle of restoring a rare B-17! The kids loved looking (from behind a rope) at the restoration process. The aircraft on site range from those used during WWII to modern day. There is just so much to see! For my kids, the airplane cockpits they could sit in, and the miniature Great Wall of China were their favorites. The Georgia Aviation Hall of Fame is housed here, as well as an area focused on women in aviation. It’s a wonderfully immersive experience, where you can read about aviation history, learn more about the Tuskegee Airmen, see the actual uniforms that were worn during World War II, and read stories from those who were there. The Eagle Building and the Century of Flight Hangar are two biggest spaces - filled with restored aircraft, and exhibits. My kids had a blast running around outside, and standing next to the airplanes’ huge wheels. The museum has four large buildings that house various classic airplanes, missiles, and exhibits, and they also have an outdoor field with other airplanes to check out. You could honestly spend a week here if you wanted to take it all in! With kids, we’re usually here for about two hours. I have been here a lot, and there is no way I have seen everything. And here’s the number one thing I want to tell you: This place is huge. It is located on 51 acres right next to Robins Air Force Base. The Museum of Aviation is the second largest museum in the United States and the fourth most visited museum in the Department of Defense.

The Museum of Aviation is the home of Georgia Aviation Hall of Fame located on the second floor of the Century of Flight Hangar. Air Force aircraft, missiles, and cockpits on display including a B-17 “Flying Fortress”. And here’s the best part: It’s FREE! Free admission and free parking. We love this place! It has airplanes galore, places to run, interactive exhibits, something new every time, and a small playground and picnic area. Then I married an aviation aficionado, had my wedding reception in the museum’s Century of Flight hangar, and now we visit with my kids every time we’re in town. I grew up in Warner Robins, so had been to the museum quite a bit growing up. AVIATION MUSEUM GEORGIA – TIME TO EXPLORE ![]()
