Experience the Prima Air & Space Museum

If you enjoy aviation and history, the Pima Air and Space Museum is a must-see attraction.

The Pima Air and Space Museum, located in Tucson, Arizona, is one of the world’s largest, privately funded aerospace museums. Since 1991, it has also housed the Arizona Aviation Hall of Fame.

The museum is open daily from 9:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., and closed Thanksgiving and Christmas Day. It has a reasonable admission price of 13.75 for adults, and 8.00 for children. Children under age 6 can visit for free.

You will want to set aside plenty of time for your visit. The museum houses over 300 aircraft and spacecraft. It has five large hangars totaling 100,000 square feet of exhibit space. After exploring the exhibits, you can relax and enjoy a meal or snack at the newly-opened Flight Grill.

Make sure you check out the exact replica of the 1903 Wright Flyer, the aircraft that made history with the Wright Brothers. Other highlights include the World War II Combat Gliders exhibit and the Space Gallery. The Space Gallery features a full-scale model of the X-15, which is the first rocket-powered aircraft to break the envelope of space.

Since its opening in May of 1976, the Pima Air and Space Museum has educated and delighted visitors from around the globe.
