Lot's of aircrafts and a great outside tram tour! (Especially because it's bloody hot!) People are very nice and mostly everybody was a pilot so they have lots of information!
Michele BowserMarch 16, 2018
What a neat spot to see planes of every shape, and size, and to get some history lessons at the same time. My favorite part was the tram tour, and our War Veteran driver/guide.
Kelly H.December 31, 2013
The volunteers and guides here are amazing. Take advantage of their in-depth knowledge and ask them about the aircraft. And take the tram to hear even more!

If you ever get a chance to visit Tucson this is a must see. It's the second largest air and space museum only to the Smithsonian.
KielApril 12, 2015
Lots of walking indoors and out, so be sure you have comfortable shoes. Don't forget to look up!
Bernard OrtegaJanuary 11, 2021
Wow!! Been roadtripping for 5 months, and this is a top 5 highlight. Better than the Smithsonian air & space museums

Lots of airplanes ! Volunteers are great and very informative.

The Pima Air and Space Museum in Tucson, AZ is one of the largest air and space museums in the world, and is the largest non-government funded aviation museum.
Tom CoatesApril 7, 2018
The museum itself is pretty good, but the star attraction here is over the road - driving around the plane graveyard where aircraft are stored in the desert to preserve their parts.
The Ritz-CarltonAugust 24, 2011
The aircraft exhibits at Pima Air & Space Museum are wonderful, but it’s the bone-yard next door with 4,400 abandoned jets that will make your jaw drop. Tours are first come, first served.
Ann ByrneAugust 19, 2013
Take one of the guided walking tours - many of the guides are ex-fighter pilots and such! They know & love what they're talking about.

Did you know? The museum’s collection of 300 aircraft and 125,000 artifacts is second in size and diversity only to the Smithsonian Institution's National Air and Space Museum in Washington, D.C. Read more

This museum is an ideal location to take a bus tour to see the operations and retired planes near an Air Force Base for $7! Read more to find out about other fascinating venues for airport museums. Read more

Be sure to wear comfortable walking shoes. You can also see some of the 4,000 military and civilian aircraft by driving along the fence on Kolb Road by the Davis-Monthan Air Force Base.

Pima Air & Space Museum at 21 minutes drive to the south of Craycroft Prime Dental
Yuriy RyabikovFebruary 16, 2019
Huge museum with 5 big buldings and 300+aircrafts. Very interesting. It takes 3+ hours to view.
Mark K.February 24, 2021
It’s worth the money. So many great historic aircraft on display with more to be restored.
M. R.February 14, 2015
Great place to witness human ingenuity. One of the best flight museums in the nation. Great photography spot
Patrick JohnstonApril 18, 2017
Blackbird is incredible to see up close - and right in the main hangar if you don't have a lot of time
Christina CraigSeptember 17, 2011
Day trip, interesting if you like that kinda thing....I liked it and I am not really into air and space stuff, affordable. There is a shuttle ($7-$9) that will ride you around the "bone Yard"
Kayo S.December 31, 2015
I'm not particularly into planes or WWII memorabilia, but I enjoyed it here nonetheless. Worth a look if you're in the area.
eric bornemannJanuary 28
You got to be really into planes and military history. It’s interesting for a bit but a lot to take in.
Holiday Inn TucsonOctober 23, 2013
A great place to stop by when in Tucson! Whether you're an airplane aficionado or not there is TONS to see here!
Tony Martin KlæboeMay 9, 2023
The number of historical aircraft!
Kathleen TorchiaJanuary 29, 2013
Walking through the outdoor displays is amazing. Tram only if you need it!
Chris FSeptember 13, 2015
Two WW2 buildings, a 787 , and a blackbird - lots of great planes to see
Bob DMarch 9, 2018
A must see for everyone!
GE AviationOctober 4, 2011
With over 300 aircrafts, you don’t want to miss out on the Lockheed SR-71 A Blackbird in Hangar 1 South … this is the only aircraft to exceed Mach 3!
LuAnn KiddJune 13, 2011
Wear comfortable shoes. There is so much fun stuff to see but you will need to do a fair amount of walking unless you take the tour tram. Read more
Matthew BoeppleJune 9, 2010
Impressive collection, including Air Force and Marine presidential transports (Yup, JFK's plane is there too). Obviously, most of the collection is outside. Check the weather, come prepared.
Jim FisherMay 19, 2014
A lot of fun. Definitely wear sunscreen and comfortable walking shoes.
Jeff SchmidtOctober 21, 2016
Lots of planes to look at. Also some kids can climb inside
Joanna PoeAugust 20, 2015
If you go on the AMARG tour, sit on the right side of the bus.
Inland Kenworth of TucsonSeptember 23, 2011
This place is pretty cool. You get to see all the old bombers and some newer ones that have been designated for the graveyard.
HannahSeptember 2, 2012
Take the walking tour, it's free with admission and the docents are awesome!
russ barschiFebruary 19, 2016
Don't miss the boneyard, ONLY on weekdays!
Angry GermanAugust 22, 2015
It's in Arizona and the buildings are NOT air conditioned. Pales in comparison to the Air Force museum in Dayton.
Todd MeedelJune 6, 2013
One of the best air museums in the united states across from the BoneYard
Matt ShobeDecember 29, 2013
Awesome place to collect mad Fitbit points. See *everything*.
Ayo LawsonSeptember 1, 2014
Absolutely awesome. Take a couple of hours and explore.

A great place to check out the past.
ilYa DvilyanskiJune 23, 2012
if you like planes, this is your place. some veteran staff working who love to chat and answer questions
Jenna LacovaraJanuary 28, 2012
Been here 25+ times
The 390th Memorial Museum is wonderful and heartbreaking. Definitely check it out.
Jordan CruzeJune 8, 2011
Good food but unless you're rich I don't suggest feeding the family here! $45 to feed 2 adults and a 7 year old lol
David VelasquezDecember 19, 2011
The food is above average compared to other restaurants. A complete meal averages $10, also allows a wide view of the museum's aircraft yard.
Yuichi MaedaJanuary 16, 2019
Awesome place to visit.
Kimberly SchmitzMarch 23, 2010
PASM is so cool! Definitely take the AMARG tour. Call ahead to make sure there's room! Go early in the summer. Read more
