More information on San Diego Aerospace Museum
The other big kid-pleaser of the museums (along with the Reuben H. Fleet Science Center, above), this popular facility has more than 60 aircraft on display, providing an overview of the nation's aeronautical history, from the days of hot-air balloons to the space age. It emphasizes local aviation history, particularly the construction here of the Spirit of St. Louis. Highlights include the Apollo 9 Command Module and the new Planetary Theater, which allows visitors to take an interactive journey through our galaxy. There's also a motion simulator ride that puts you at the controls of an F-22 fighter jet. The museum is housed in a cylindrical hall built by the Ford Motor Company in 1935 (for the park's second international expo), and has an imaginative gift shop with items like old-fashioned leather flight hoods and new-fashioned freeze-dried astronaut ice cream. Allow at least an hour for your visit. Note: This information was accurate when it was published, but can change without notice. Please be sure to confirm all rates and details directly with the companies in question before planning your trip.
