Chauga TopMarch 2, 2018Really outstanding museum! Many of these aircraft and artifacts that you will not see elsewhere. Remarkable how they have connected so many items to the aerospace history and industry of the area.
Remy Tankel CarrollFebruary 21, 2018The docents are a wealth of information. Do yourself a favor and take advantage of their knowledge. It will definitely enhance the experience. Great way to spend the day with your family.
Chris EJanuary 10, 2015Once a month they have an open cockpit day. Go on that day. Fun for the kids, and the museum volunteers (many of which are former military) can tell you a lot about the planes.- AshleyMay 4, 2015If you're tagging along with someone and you're not really into aviation, you can still read the exhibit info for historical context. But I'd suggest fellow non-enthusiasts go on big event days.
PT6 NationSeptember 15, 2011An aviator’s trip to Connecticut wouldn’t be complete without a visit to the New England Air Museum. 75,000 sq feet of exhibit space includes aircraft & engine display. Yup, there's a PT6 too!- Ernie HuberMay 15, 2015Bigger than I thought it would be. Very cool. Lots of planes and helicopters. Great venue for a large work event

Mikko SaarioApril 14, 2014Every single airplane was closed from access, there were stairs in place but all were off-limits. Not much fun...- Susan OrredApril 1, 2012Visit today for Space Expo 2012! Meet an astronaut and many others with ties to the space program!
