Best museum in San Mateo County and our go to place on rainy or cold weekends. The fact that for a year there was no other museum my kids want to go to is starting to get concerning.

Small informative museum. Lots of planes to see.It seems it can be over run by children. Recommend going if you want a slower pace at the end of the day. Can walk thru museum in about an hr.Enjoyed the history and the exhibits.

It's our favorite museum at this point. All of the docents are cool, the events are awesome and the exhibits are top notch with lots of simulators and cockpits to climb into. My 3 year old loves searching for Oliver.
