Valiant Air Command Inc. Warbird Museum Reviews

Great service, free guided tours with knowledgeable volunteers and super service from the employees. It’s possible to get very close up to all the planes.

Very interesting museum! The guide that was there the day we went was excellent. He just started talking about whatever plane we were looking at. Wish we were going to be there for the air show in March. I'm sure it will be awesome!

Plan on spending a few hours here to see everything in museum and hangars. Tour guides make the trip even better. There is so much history and so much to see its hard to take it all in. The planes in the hangars are amazing.

The admission fee was very reasonable.

There is quite a large variety of aircraft, modern jets like the F16, Vietnam era aircraft, WW2 and even a WWI aircraft.

What makes this museum really stand out are the volunteer guides who are just super friendly and knowledgeable. They really make the exhibits come to life.

And you can sit in the cockpit of a real B52 (only the cockpit is there, not the rest of the aircraft). Don't miss this, it is outside and you need one of the guides to open the door for you. But is is super cool.

A great place to visit, don't miss this little gem in Titusville.

Visited this museum the week before their annual air show. I greatly enjoyed my time there! A great collection of WWII on aircraft, with a lean towards the jet era. It was really quite impressive to not only view the aircraft up close, but to actually touch a piece of history was neat! I will visit there again!

I went here with family as they live in the area and really did not expect much in the way of a museum.
Boy was I surprised. Our guide (who is a volunteer aircraft restorer for them) was deeply knowledgeable and gave us histories of each aircraft.
And my oh my the number of aircraft is astonishing. From WW1 to the Vietnam war it is amazing.
They also had many hands on displays including trainers you could sit in and the flight deck of a B52 you could crawl up into and sit in the pilot and copilot seats.
This was well worth the price of admission an I would recommend it to anyone in the area on vacation.
Pairs very well with a trip to the Kennedy Space Center.

This museum has a great number of vintage aircraft and for a small museum it has a large number of flyable vintage military aircraft. It's flagship is the Tico Belle, a C-47 which served on D-Day and later in WWII..

Saw the signs for this place on our way to The Kennedy Space Center. Thought it might be worth a quick look on the way back. Entered through the wonderful gift shop. Immediately welcomed upon entering the museum. Offered a guided tour but we said we just wanted to wander around. Eventually we were guided onto the B52 cockpit simulator and got a guided tour after all ! I cannot overemphasise how welcome we were made to feel.
Also the prices in the gift shop were very reasonable, not something you come across every day in Florida.
Is you’re visiting KSC you simply have to visit this museum.

Sure to wow the airplane buffs like me, as well as any person interested in history of military flight. The guides are phenomenal and the aircraft displays that you can walk right up to are awesome.

Yesterday, I visited the museum for the first time. As a long time resident of the area, I am a little embarrassed to say I hadn't been here before. WHAT AN AMAZING DAY WE HAD. We could have spent days looking at all of the amazing and historic aircraft and memorabilia. I grew up in Annapolis Maryland near the Naval Academy so I especially loved seeing the Blue Angels up close.

Bob Boswell was kind enough to give us a guided tour and hearing the first hand stories of how he flew several of the planes was really amazing.

If you are in Brevard County and you have not been here, do yourself a favor and come and check it out. If you are planning a trip to the area, add it to your agenda. There is even a coupon in the Space Coast Fun Guide.

I can't wait to come back and bring the whole family. I know my kids will love it.

Much bigger than you think! Amazing collection of planes and unique as well. We thought we’d just go and wander around but were offered a tour (free!) and so glad we did! How often do you get stories from a real life fighter pilot? David was wonderful and had my teenage daughter so interested in the history of the planes…she actually never even took out her phone for the entire time! (Except to take pictures because the restoration of the planes is beautiful).

This place gets top rating from fellow Tripadvisors for good reason. Besides the knowledgeable workers, tour guides and volunteers there is a lot of stuff to see and learn about. Okay, there are numerous aircraft in various stages of assembly, and a ton of history and facts are at your finger tips. Want to be inside the cockpit of a bomber, belly of a WWII prop plane that dropped paratroopers? You can do that! Are you a student of the Vietnam War? A whole room dedicated to that! WWII and the Korean War are also well represented here. I think it would be impossible to cover it all in one day.

The gift shop is very unique. Lots of things to remember your visit or give as gifts. Some items are pretty unique as well.

The most amazing thing to me is that almost all those people that work there, guide you and do restoration and repairs to the aircraft are all volunteers! We are talking about many hours of dedication and hard work to keep this amazing place running!

This is one of those places you should not miss. Worth every minute and penny!

What impressed me most about this place is that f you can get up close and personal with the aircraft. The docents know everything about them and I highly recommend taking them up on their offer to show you around - it will triple the experience. Reasonably priced, a must see if you're in the area, specially in March when they have the airshow - drop-dead incredible.

Very very knowledgeable staff give personal tours through the museum if you have the time. Large variety of aircraft lovingly restored.

This place is AMAZING! A true hidden gem that took me too long to discover. What a collection of planes and history. But what sets this museum apart is the wonderful volunteers who provide a personal tour. Our guide was Kurt and he was friendly, an encyclopedia of knowledge, and a pleasure to spend a couple of hours with. My daughter (16) was beyond the moon around, and in the planes. To stand in the C-47 Tico Belle that was flown on D-day was an honor. And to have my daughter not just read, but touch that history is priceless. We will be back and I recommend you visit too. Thank you Valiant Air Command Warbird Museum for a wonderful memory with my daughter!

Great museum with magic displays and airworthy aircraft on great open display. Nice to be able to touch the aircraft.
Well maintained with pleasant staff on hand.

We had a tour guide - two for some of the visit - show us around. Had great stories to share about the planes and history of it all! If we had walked through it ourselves it would have taken us about an hour, but with the guide it was close to two hours. We got the inside scoop on the planes and even got to see the restoration building. We'd love to have had more time for the artifacts area but we'd just come from Kennedy Space Center and were in need of a meal or a snack. It was close to their closing time by the time we finished seeing the sights. Great collection of planes. You don't have to be a lover of history to enjoy this place. Just be sure you like planes...and don't go on an empty stomach because you'll want to take your time.

Curtis our tour guide who claims to been here 8 years, and in the Air Force was not all that informative. Pleasant, but many of the items he wasn't sure about. Needs to carry some que cards or something.
Lots to see, but several of the info cards are hard to read (small print). Glad we went, but listening to some of the other tour guides they seemed more knowledgeable

This was recommended to us by our taxi driver whilst taking us to and from the Kennedy Space Center. The wide range and number of aircraft on display was amazing. One of the volunteers gave us a guided tour which included many anecdotes and stories that greatly added to the experience - especially being allowed to see the hanger in which restoration of aircraft still goes on. For any aviation enthusiast this should be a must-do.

A great collection of both aircraft and memorabilia from WW1 to the present day.

I visited along with my 2 children (11, 14) to this museum whilst staying at Cocoa beach. It was a bit of a drive but well worth it.

You are able to get so close to the aircraft and there is an eclectic mix including many iconic planes. For me the highlight was getting close to the F-14 Tomcat and F-4 Phantom. Unfortunately, we did not time our visit to include a guided tour, and I could have easily stayed longer than the appx 90 mins we were there.

Highly recommended for anyone even vaguely interested in aviation.

This museum is a credit to all of those involved in its creation and upkeep.

One of the great aviation museums. Aircraft on display are from all wars and are in great shape. Much better than a off the wall expensive NASA Space Center tour.

We caught it on a day they were setting up for a commercial to shoot, so they were moving planes for the shoot. It was cool to see these planes being moved around and how much the museum people care about these historical machines.

Spent a very pleasant few hours here on New Years Eve. A great deal to see, with some exhibits airworthy, some not. Staff were very friendly and Mike provided me with a personal escorted tour of the restoration facility and more. Was also treated to a ground run on an A-4 Skyhawk, which was an added bonus.Most of the exhibits are in superb condition, which is a delight to see.

My husband and i had nothing to do one day,so we figured we go look at the museum up the road. liked it very much.

We had plans to go to Kennedy Space Center, until we saw the cars lined up to get in, so we decided to stop in. So blessed with our decision. My husband and son love to research the military. This place was full of history of the men and women who have fought valiantly for our country's freedom. Many veterans serve as volunteer tour guides, meandering through the aircraft and displays, sharing knowledge and history (and a few chuckles) of the campaigns that the aircraft represent. This is definitely a must see, supporting those who have and will continue to keep us safe in the USA.

Wonderful exhibit of air craft. From WW1 to Vietnam it had many interesting things to see. Definitely worth the visit and I'd recommend it for everyone from children to seniors who lived through some of these wars/eras and would recognize the air craft. You can watch actual planes take off possibly at the air port. Give it a try I'd believe there's something for everyone.

What a great place to learn about military aviation. From a replica Sopwith Camel to a F/A 18 Hornet they have a wonderful collection of planes and most are still flying/flyable. Also had a great collection of military memorabilia from WWI through Vietnam. If a volunteer offers to give you a tour, do it, it was free and the tour guide offered insights and little known facts that made the place even more special.

Outstanding exhibition with a knowledge group of docents. It was a very meaningful experience for us as we shared it through the eyes of my father, a Vietnam AF vet.

On our way to Kennedy Space Center, we were detoured by the small sign about the Warbird Museum. It was a wonderful stop - of more than 2 hours (because we were enjoying it). The volunteers have refurbished airplanes from WW I forward have done an amazing job. The guide filled us with fascinating stories about the donations, purchases, refurbishing, etc. For example, they found the pilot of the airplane that had been trying to learn how to fly off carriers and dropped the plan into Lake Michigan - or the pilot who bought and stores his plane there, taking it out weekly to fly, etc. Well worth the time we spent there - and don't forget to stop by the gift shop!

This is a great little museum with lots of planes from WW2 - VIETNAM eras. Very informative and great especially for vintage plane buffs and retired military.

Had a few hours to spare with a business trip to Orlando so decided to head to the Kennedy Space Center. On the way there saw a sign for the warbird museum and decided to take a detour. Best decision I have made in a long time. A wonderfully put together tour of warbird history. Was gobsmacked with the number of beautiful planes that paved our history. My father was a Naval aviator and I had a moment where tears filled my eyes thinking about the history the planes had seen and the amazing men who flew them. There is also an amazing tour of military (aviation related) artifacts. Add on the wonderful staff and gift shop and you have a true jewel just off the main highway. If you visit this museum and aren’t moved, you don’t have a heart.

Amazing, amazing, amazing!

We enjoyed our tour of the War Birds Museum, but we really like this sort of thing. It is obviously a labor of love for the volunteers and they do a great job. I wouldn't take young children as the tour involves being escorted from plane to plane where you receive the background and history of each. We were there for at least two hours, a lot of standing and listening for kids.

As others have said, this place is just great. The volunteers are more than happy to give guided tours and take as much or as little time as you want them to. Their stories are wonderful and the planes are amazing.

Our second visit was just as exciting, wonderful, educational, and informational. The museum has added a new Boeing B-52D cockpit section for public display. Visitors are able to climb aboard and sit in the seats of past pilots, co-pilots, radar navigators and navigators. You could feel the history. This specific aircraft was slatted for destruction at Davis-Monthan Air Force Bass in Arizona. The museum was able to rescue and restore the B-52D cockpit section for visitors. Please visit the Valiant Air Command Warbird Museum for more detailed information regarding this aircraft. Your time will be well spent.
The entire museum offers hands on experiences. Not many museum allow visitors to get close to displays let alone touch the aircraft. Thank you to all the volunteers for making this museum a stand out.

We went to the open house event a few weeks ago - lots of people - great exhibits - plenty of friendly experts/people around to answer questions. You can walk up and touch the aircraft unlike lots of museums. It's obvious that the people who work there do it because the totally LOVE the aircraft. They also have a fantastic gift shop with interesting and rare offerings.

The Valiant Air Command puts on a great show every year. And the museum is great too.
We've been coming to see the Warbird Airshow for 15+ years, never disappoints.

We really enjoyed the visit to this museum. Roger, our guide, was the best and shared so much information. The volunteers are not only dedicated to sharing their knowledge, but they also make it fun, too. If you are in the area, you owe it to yourself to visit this museum to remember and honor those who fought for this country.

One of Titusville’s biggest gems, Valiant Air Command Warbird Museum is a must-visit. With two hangers full of over 45 planes and aircrafts, an indoor museum and a gift shop, this place is packed with so much to see. One of the best parts about the museum is that the workers are all extremely knowledgeable about the history of the warbirds. They also give you the option to walk on your tour with you and tell you the cool facts about everything. If you have any questions about the warbirds, the staff will amaze you with all the knowledge they can share with you.

We spent a couple of hours enjoying the restored, semi-restored, and derelict planes awaiting restoration. We were fortunate to arrive just in time to join a small group for a guided tour of the facility. The volunteers have done a remarkable job restoring these planes, some were even able to be flown. Our guide was extremely knowledgeable, knowing where each plane came from and, in a lot of cases, the previous history of each aircraft. The only downside was the heat during our visit. Some of the areas which were normally air conditioned proved stifling. I'd heartedly recommend this facility to anyone who enjoys military aircraft.

This museum at the Space Coast Regional Airport will surprise you. When I pulled up and parked on Monday afternoon, it seemed smaller than expected. I used the $2 coupon I'd printed out on the website and began my self-guided tour. I had been advised by a friend to allow two hours if I wanted to really look over each display and read most of the available information.

I found the low-tech aspect charming and many of the displays reminded me of WW II museums in France, Belgium & Luxembourg. Many tourists are easily overwhelmed by the incredible volume of items packed in those places. Not so at the Warbird Museum. There's a lot there, but it is neatly organized and arranged in a sensible flow.

Once I looked at the inside displays, I proceeded to the hangars. There was a lot to see in each. The first one is attached to the rear of the building you enter from the parking lot. It houses lots of aircraft to see from multiple eras.The Vietnam hangar was particularly moving for me because it was the first military "conflict" I clearly remember. The other hangar was a project hangar, so I didn't tour that.

As I walked back inside, through the gift shop, I was lost in thought about how young those brave men and women were. My 100-year-old WW II Naval Aviator client (I was his caregiver for his final decade on Earth) who passed in February led Bombing Squadron 19 in the Battle of Leyte Gulf. Even with his physical disabilities and significant dementia, his face lit up when he talked about those five years. What an honor to serve him! It would have been so nice to take him to the Warbird Museum and the WW II monument in D. C. before he was no longer able to travel those distances from Vero Beach.

As the daughter of an Army veteran, the mother of a Marine and friend of several veterans who served in Vietnam, I so appreciate the work of those who fund and maintain treasures like the Warbird Museum. Those sacrifices and lessons must not be forgotten! Thank you.

We came across the Valiant Air Command Warbird Museum quite by chance and are so glad that we took the time to visit here. Our guide Ken was great and had an extensive knowledge of all the exhibits. The museum is run by volunteers who are ex service men and women.

If you get the chance to visit please do.

We stopped here the day before visiting Kennedy Space Center. Lots of great planes and we happened upon a staff member who spent a lot of time with us sharing the history of each bird. Definitely go.

We visited the Museum before our Air Show experience and then saw many in action at the Air Show. For military buffs this can't be beat and the restoration area is worth some time. Take the tour and learn the back stories. Very impressive for a small town. The annual air show is not listed in Trip Advisor, so I have added a couple of photos to inspire a visit to the Museum and the March Air Show.

Great place, guides are friendly Large collection of planes and memorabilia. Children can see history in a real and interesting way. Veterans see that their service is honored.

The person that took me and showed me around Warbird Museum was very knowledgeable of the Aircraft, Helicopters, Jeeps/Cars and many other appurtunance of WW ll, Korean War, Vietnam and Cold War era. And of course a replica of B52 Stratofortres. For those visiting NASA don’t forget to swing by on your way home at the Warbird Museum in Titusville, Florida. Admission is FREE.

Came across the museum by accident on a trip to NASA, went back without my group the next day. The museum has a fantastic collection of aircraft, with some amazing restorations on display. A lot of aircraft they have, have amazing back story's, be it ex CIA used, pulled from lakes or in the case of the Canberra lent to the USA in but Britain in Germany for a secret spy mission over the USSR at the hight of the cold war, a mission the Russians dispute ever happened, but the recon photos exhist. They have flying and static aircraft on display. The stand out aircraft for me where the F105 Thud in Vietnam camo with a nuke payload , the F100 Super Saber in Vietnam camo, the F4 Phantom in navy scheme and a F5 tiger, the restoration on these planes was superb! A real gem of a museum, great staff who are very attentive to guests, free parking and a very reasonable $20 entry for adults and $5 for kids, and a gift shop with a great range of t shirts and other stuff. They have 45 aircraft and loads of other stuff on exhibit. If you like your aircraft dont miss this place!

Great place to check out, lots of history.

Wasn’t expensive and takes 2-3 hours to walk through.

Rich our tour guide was very friendly and knowledgeable.

Would recommend coming to see if you like military history.

Had a great time. A C47 was out of the hangar and they were testing the engines. One of our favorite planes. Breakfast was good. Getting both for the same price was a no brainer.

If you are traveling from Kennedy Space Center to Orlando airport, stop at this museum next to the "Space Coast" airport. Valiant Museum has 2-3 manageably-sized hangars of great planes. Perfect for kids, as the planes are in great shape, you can get up close to them or even in some of them, and it's a nice summary of aviation history. I ran thru it in 40 minutes, but could've definitely spent more time. We got a wonderful guide who was a former fighter pilot and retired airline pilot and he could do US history, aviation history, and answer specific questions I had about airplanes and even Sully's landing on the Hudson. HE WAS TOTALLY FABULOUS.

There are plenty of aircraft on display and the staff is knowledgeable. We spent a couple of hours here, but would have remained longer. They actually walked us out the door. It felt like we had our own personal guided tour because the were so nice. We felt such patriotism to tour here.

Great place to find all sorts of old aircraft that are still in functioning condition. Really some sensational items they have here. From biplane to blue angel they have you covered!

Visited with the hubby. Great interesting place to visit. The staff are lovely and are really helpful. Guided tours are available.

Neat little aviation museum (well, not so little--3 buildings) with a great collection of WWII period uniforms of both US and German origin, weaponry, and aircraft. Also a good Vietnam display.

My husband wanted to visit here and I was hesitant because it didn't sound like something I would be interested in. But I'm glad I went ! There is so much history here, it was absolutely fascinating. My Dad was a World War 2 vet and I saw all kinds of things from that war. Loved the Vietnam exhibit. They have an air show every year in March with historic and modern aircraft, including the Thunderbirds. I have been privileged to attend 2 of these. Also on our last visit in 2015, we were able to meet with and talk to the pilot of a Huey helicopter. Amazing!

I could stay here for many hours because I love aircraft but getting so close to planes make it special.

Wonderful selection of planes in all phases of operation and restoration. Great docent to guide and entertain our group. Interesting that so many planes still fly and occasionally leave museum to attend air shows and exhibits. This was money well spent. Also, a good gift shop that was just (almost) as interesting as the museum. Might come back just to spend more time browsing in the gift shop.

Highly recommend a visit. Yearly air show a good time too!

This is a unique museum because of the collection and because they fly many of their planes. Exceptionally clean and well organized. You will never get closer to the planes you love than here!

My wife and I enjoyed the displays of various vintage military aircraft and other memorabilia. It is easily located at the Tico airport south of Titusville, and their website will give you details of hours of operation, etc.

Our tour guide Bruce made this tour an emotional experience. His ability to bring history to life and give faces to the men and women who served our country was truly unforgettable! This collection is even more impressive when you realize the dedication that has gone into restoring these aircrafts. This is a must see for everyone young and old.

Lots of stuff to see. Be sure to connect with one of the volunteer guides so you can get the "back story" on the different aircraft.

They made me an honorary Colonel in their Air Force. I flew in a plane that flew at Normandy. many planes and history to see. good for history buffs

This is a fine collection, lovingly restored and displayed, and well worth a visit. I delete one star from my rating simply because the signage. while excellent where it existed, was missing for several aircraft, and there was no one to ask about them. There are supposed to be docents available for tours, but some of the ones I saw didn't seem inclined to help. I suspect they must be volunteers, so I do not want to be overly critical, but several times I walked past a table of three of them socializing with each other, and no one appeared to be interested in acknowledging my presence or offering assistance.

This was well worth visiting. A lot of history & memorabilia from war days as well as the aircraft and communication devices. The volunteer restorers put a lot of love into restoring so many aircraft, many of the planes still fly. The gift shop is worth a visit too. We spent 3 hours there!

Not well known – even for an air museum junkie like me. They have a huge inventory of WW2, Korea, and Vietnam era warbirds, plus a Fokker Dr.I. Many of the aircraft are airworthy. In addition, they have an overwhelming collection of supporting artifacts: uniforms, engines, radios, etc. There’s also a huge collection of fine scale models of aircraft from the dawn of aviation to modern times. Candidly there is more to see than can be down in a single visit.

We got a 2-hour tour covering 4 hangers including where restoration work in done. Our Guide was very informative and the displays were very nice.

I don’t have any particular fascination with planes, much less war planes, but I really enjoyed accompanying my partner in exploring this museum. There are numerous indoor displays of wartime artifacts, uniforms, photos, and newspaper clippings. Some were unusual, like big military cameras and surveillance film from a U2 spy plane. Some focused on women who served in the military air corps. Outside were many planes with a significant history and in various states of repair and restoration. I learned a lot, and was reminded of the (sometimes troubling) human and financial resources our nation and others devote to aerial warfare.

My wife and I enjoyed seeing the vintage, historic military aircraft that were used in the past, and hearing the stories of those who manned them. Sent photos to my in-laws.

The museum has a good selection of aircraft, some flyable and some displayed. On the second Saturday, they serve breakfast. ($12) If you are a Vet, go there on Memorial Day or Veterans Day and get free admission.

My husband is very big on military history. We came here and I honestly expected to be bored as I'm not as interested as he is. I will say I was truly surprised how much I enjoyed our visit! A nice guide told us he highly recommended the guided tour which we did and that was what made it so enjoyable for me! Our guide Vern was so kind with tons of information and fun facts regarding all the aircraft there! It's so nice to see the staff are all volunteers so it's truly a labor of love here! All the staff were so kind with tons of knowledge! Very educational for adults and kids! Thank you so much to vern for a wonderful experience! Highly recommended tour!!!

A lot of interesting planes. We enjoyed talking with one of the people working on one of them, he was very knowledgable. There could be maybe more of an "exhibition" to give context to the planes, but it's still a fun visit and not expensive either.

A must see if you are interested in older airplanes. Will not disappoint. I think you can get a guide who will explain how the aircraft were used and when. This is a good match for those who enjoy the Kennedy Space center.

We went through in about two hours because that's all the time we had. But my husband said he could have stayed a few more hours, easily. He's an aviation enthusiast so enjoyed it more than myself and my ten year old daughter, but I did appreciate the place. The docents were wonderful. The music playing was appropriate and part of the nostalgic feeling. A visit here made me even more proud to be an American.

This museum is a lot bigger than might first appear, there is a large section of memorabilia from WW2, a very nice assortment of WW2, Korean, Vietnam and Desert Storm planes. The best part is that you can walk right among the planes. Many of the planes are still in flying condition. The volunteers are really great and very knowledgeable. I found this by accident but what a lucky find. Highly recommend.

Museum has 3 major areas: WW2, Vietnam and what I'd call "getting rebuilt - revamped" areas. Volunteers have given a lot of love and time over the years to make sure the planes were revamped and rebuilt as they should be. Lots of planes to see, including some exhibition planes like the Tico Belle. Also interesting stories to read, and passionate guides to help you if you need. Very enjoyable visit.

Awesome! And that’s an understatement! We had a three hr. guided walking tour by a docent named Jim, who was previously an Air Force weapons specialist. Very knowledgeable guy who answered every question. Even our wives thought it was terrific.

I came here with my father, who loves WW2 aviation, during my Christmas visit to Florida. It was relatively easy to get to from the Orlando area, and it took about an 2 hours to go thru. There are docents on staff, and while I generally like to explore museums on my own, we followed a docent named Bruce who was very knowledgeable and not overbearing, and I think added greatly to our experience. There were three hangars to go thru and my father, especially, enjoyed himself, his favorite aircraft being the twin Mustang. In addition to the hangars, there was an area in the front with war memorabilia as well. Took around 2 hours to go thru, gift shop on site, no cafe or restaurant on site but there are food options nearby.

The museum has a great collection of planes and the best part was the wonderful stories to go along with them. Bruce, the tour guide was very knowledgeable and provided a great deal of insight into not just the "what" as to the details of a particular plane, but also the "why?" with lots of details that one would not find in a traditional reference source. We spent a very enjoyable afternoon.

This is a fascinating collection of eveything from actual vintage planes to uniforms, badges, photographs, and other such related items. One can walk around the planes up close, and learn about them with written guides and knowledgeable docents. Old planes are restored here, and one can see the work in progress.

Spent a good couple of hours going round. A lot of the aircraft are in excellent condition, some even still flying. Staff are very knowledgeable and friendly. I recommend a stop here if you're in the area!

Me and my fiance stopped here on the way back home from a cruise. It was awesome!!!
The staff was friendly and the gentleman who took us inside the B52 and the DC3 was very knowledgeable.

My 10 year old son is a huge military aircraft enthusiast and very much enjoyed his time here. Get up close to the aircraft and great picture opportunities. Very informative tour guides and the all volunteer staff does a fabulous job of sharing information and history. I loved having access to the reconditioning hanger and listening to the stories concerning the aircraft being worked on currently. 100% Worth the admission and time.

I visit the museum shop often, as there is always something either I "NEED" or my granddaughter "NEEDS". The aircraft collection is first rate, as are the volunteer docents. You can drive in, of course, but you can also fly in and park your aircraft on their ramp to visit the museum or the shop. This is a MUST VISIT for aircraft or military buffs.

A must-see! Fantastic collection of aircraft from several eras. Well displayed, well maintained. Received an outstanding tour, loaded with info, including the "how" and "why" various aircraft were built and used. Could not have been more informative and easy-going. Good for all ages and all backgrounds. I cannot recommend this wonderful museum highly enough!

My wife and I were going to Kennedy Space Center and wanted to get there early so we had the whole day so we spent the night off 95 so we could do just that. We arrived at lunch time and had lunch and decided to check out Valiant Air Command Warbird Museum to kill some time. We expect few planes a small museum. We found way more than we ever expected so much so we are already taking about going back again soon. Most of the planes were in flying condition and were taken out to fly often. They have a full hanger dedicated to refurbishing to flight condition. All done by a army of volunteers with from what we could see a lot of skill. I did not count, but 50 planes would be a good guess spread over two very large hangers next to an air field.. This was a GUIDED TOUR by an older gentleman who once was in the Air Force and knew his stuff. My only problem was because their was so many aircraft in each hanger you had a problem talking pictures of a whole plane without getting a wing of another in your shot. Simply a wonderful place. What a surprise!!

Stopped by here on a whim and had an excellent time! We were the only people there so got a private tour! I can't remember the gentleman's name, but he was very knowledgeable and made the tour very interesting. Highly recommend!

What a great place to visit. Lots of planes either restored or in the process. Volunteers and staff are very knowledgeable about all of the items. The B52 cockpit is amazing. As you enter with a guide, you have the ability to sit in the pilot's seat and climb around the nose (crawling and ladder involved). It is wonderful watching the volunteers lovingly restored these planes and helicopters. This would be a great add on trip to other places in this area.

Curt was our guide, he was wonderful. I would highly recommend getting a tour guide. There is so much information we wouldn’t have known if it wasn’t for Curt teaching us. He is 91 years young, but he never know it. Thank you Todd!

My wife and I stopped off here one afternoon on our way back to Orlando airport as we had time to kill. Best decision of our holiday and our only regret is that we didn’t have more time to stay. They have the most amazing range of aircraft but also a lot of personal stuff about various service personnel. You can get up close to the aircraft and the volunteers - big shout to Maureen and John - are enthusiastic, knowledgeable and very, very helpful. It was the (unexpectedly) perfect end to our holiday in Florida. If you’re in the area make time to go and see it - you will not regret it.

We enjoyed a few hours checking out a lot of history.
Friendly people along with plenty of informational placards made our visit enjoyable.
A worthwhile stop.

Nice (medium sized) aircraft museum and working airfield.
Their collection is very nice, eventhough a bit small, they do have very nice aircrafts being exhibited (and restored) there
The gift shop is also very nice and well stocked.
If you are in the area pay them a visit and you can easily combine this with a (half day) visit to Kennedy Space Center which is close by

Stopped in to this museum and had a great tour by a volunteer guide and it was awesome! The information about the various planes and in particular their use in wars was so insightful! The tour gave me a better understanding about the various wars our country has been involved in. Would definitely recommend this place to anyone interested in US history! This place is a hidden gem! And it is conveniently located near the fantastic Kennedy Space Center.

Nice collection of aircraft. Go with a free tour guide (approx 1 1/2 hours) and learn even more. Curtis was fun and informative

Wow! I was blown away! The conditons and beauty of all their aircrafts left me breathless. You truly don't have to be a fan of planes to enjoy such beautiful aircrafts. Our experience was taken to a whole new level when Teresa (Volunteer Guide) came along and started showering us with all her knowledge. The history behind each and every single one of them will leave you "nerding" for more. My husband could not get enough of the engines and fighter weapons. My kiddo (9) went nuts seeing these beuties up close and personal and actually flying in a simulator with a REAL flight instructor!! I will 100% come back. PLEASE REQUEST VOLUNTEER GUIDE!!!!

Amazing museum and working hangars .I visited wilst in the NASA area and wasn’t disappointed.Staff are fantastic and some of the aircraft hidden away are truly hidden Ken’s from various conflicts.

Great unexpected treat. This history, the memorabilia, and the airplanes are fabulous. The sheer size of the F14 was impressive. The C-47A that dropped paratroopers in Europe on D-Day was moving. The XP-82 Twin Mustang is so cool. Watching the oil dripping from the old engines was/is somewhat poetic on these lovely airplanes. Will definitely return on my next visit.

This is a great museum! Whether you're into planes or a veteran/military, it's a great stop! My grandson (11) absolutely loved it.

With all the volunteers helping you to understand and see different airplanes even from inside, this museum does make a difference. Sit in a B52 cockpit, see the restoration hangar, hear about the history of the C47.
Everybody is helpful and friendly. We really enjoyed our time there.

Well worth a visit if you enjoy old aeroplanes and war time memorabilia and artefacts. The museum will probably take most people a couple of hours to get around. A varied collection of aircraft that are in good condition.

If you love aviation history you will love this place. We had a docent who was so knowledgeable, Jem, and took the time to really give us a great tour of the entire facility.

Great staff. Rand gave us a tour… was very personable and it’s really neat to see the planes up close with no ropes to keep us from seeing things. Near to climb into the B-52 cockpit! Would love to return to see some of these gems fly for a show, especially the twin mustang… apparently they have the only one that still flies. They got a new helicopter when we’re there too… a large black one called the ‘sea dragon’ … can’t remember the model. Very impressive. Not as grand as Robins Air Force base’s aviation museum which we visited a year ago, but for the Orlando area, it’s a good visit.

Lots of planes closely parked in hangars - duck your head to move about. Several docents around to answer questions, provide info. Most aircraft from Korean thru Vietnam era. Some WWII stuff would add interest. Location right on road to Kennedy Space center so easy to find. 1-2 hours to see it all.

Followed a colleague’s recommendation for an interesting place to visit and it far exceeded my hopes. Huge number of beautifully restored military aircraft from WW1 to present. These are not just museum pieces, many are still actively flown on a regular basis. You get right up close and personal with these aircraft, often ducking under a wing to get to the next one.
The best part is the people that run it. Fascinating stories from Bill who served in WWII but also worked all the Apollo missions, spending many hours inside the Saturn V .
I only had about an hour there and it wasn’t nearly enough. Plan 2-3 hours and make a point to chat with the people hanging around the hangar. I’ll definitely go back for more.

Excellent collection; knowledgeable friendly volunteer staff, and a must for any aircraft or military history enthusiast.

This museum is located right off route 1 about 8 miles from the intersection with route 528 to Orlando. Open from 9a to 5p, general admission is $20, senior(>60)/military $18, children $5. They had about 20 aircraft on display, mostly WWII and later and several are functional - a MIG-17 flew by and made a landing while I was there. There is a lot of military paraphernalia and models to look at. The aircraft displays themselves were mostly not self explanatory but if you wanted to hear more than you want to know, ask one of the docents that are wandering around. The real deal is to come for the annual Air Show usually the 2nd weekend in March when planes fly in and there are lot of activities and the price is the same.

We relocated for our second week at Cocoa Beach. As our accommodation had a check-in time of 3pm, we thought we would take in this Museum en-route. What a find! A very knowledgeable volunteer, Jeremiah Turcot, not only introduced us to each aircraft and theme, but brought the Museum alive for us!!!! It is a wonderful Museum with a great collection spanning year's of aviation. If you are ever in the area, I would recommend a visit with a guided tour. (Unsure if volunteers are present week-days, as we were there Saturday.) Well done Jeremiah and thank you for spending time with us and answering queries so eloquently!

My second time at the museum, wonderful exhibits, really nice and friendly volunteers. Highly recommended to visit.

If you are I. The area, don’t miss this museum. Spectacular collection of military aircraft, great museum of memorabilia and best of the. The docents. So lucky to be able to walk the facility with Chip. He was so interesting and fun to be with. Thank you Chip, you taught me so much. This is a wonderful museum with a group of dedicated volunteers feeds who work hard in restoring vintage aircraft, and educating the public. Most have served our country I the military and clearly they continue to serve the public. So grateful for all of them. Don’t miss it and if you go, leave a donation. It would be a shame to see this museum disappear,

Volunteers restore aircraft. Snowbirds come and help in the wintertime! Some aircraft are stored here between air shows. There are over forty vintage and current aircraft. The volunteers will take you to the restoration hanger where you will see their latest project.
It is pricy for a family. Adults are $20, Senior and Military $18. There is a student rate of $10 and under six is free.
What a treasure right here in Titusville!
They are networked worldwide with other restorers and they mention it often!

We've been to many museums, big and small. This one is on the small side with 47 planes, but is by far the most friendly. The staff is all volunteer and happy to let you get up close to many of the historic planes. Many of the planes still fly, which is unique when compared to the Smithsonian or the USAF Museum at Wright-Patterson AFB. You should spend an entire afternoon scouring over the artifiacts from WWI, II, Korea, and Vietnam.
FYI - Not sure this would be a good place to bring young children. Many exhibits are open, REALLY OPEN!

We found this marvelous museum after visiting Kennedy. It has a fantastic collection of historic planes and jets. We walked through 3 large building showcasing all different planes usually tied to wartime uses. I was just overwhelmed with the wide variety of planes
The docents were very knowledgeable and everyone was friendly and helpful. Two gentlemen opened doors and chains to let us explore inside the planes! If you get an opportunity, visit this Space coast gem.

Magnificent museum, a little narrow for the magnificent planes presented there, including a Twin Mustang and a Douglas SBD5 Dauntless.
Warm welcome upon entry.

It has a lot to offer and quite a few guides to show you around and explain what all the planes are. There are several hangers with different eras, but it is small.

A great place to spend a couple of hours if you want to view some of the most iconic US warbirds, and admire some impressive restoration work. If (like me) you are a jet enthusiast and you live the UK, then you will get to see some aircraft that are rarely seen such as the A4 Skyhawk, F101 Voodoo, A6 Intruder and F14 Tomcat. Unfortunately the Tomcat was being repainted and was largely under plastic sheeting, so could not be fully enjoyed, but what a beast this aircraft is..enormous!

We had a member of the museum staff (Don) walk us around the exhibits to provide a brief history on the aircraft. This was interesting but not mandatory. You can take your own time and guide yourself around.

The museum does not offer food or drinks as such, but if you’re willing to travel 10 minutes further by car towards Kennedy space centre, you will find ‘Steve’s Diner’ which offers a range of freshly cooked food. It’s nothing fancy but fine for lunch.

This is a very interesting place to visit. I'm not into planes but my husband and 16-year-old son are so we decided to pay a visit and had a great time! There's so many different types of planes to see and I really like the museum with the memorabilia. They really enjoyed going inside a B-52 bomber too!

So many items to view just amazing.
Easy to get around from the moment you entered you feel welcomed.

An amazing museum with an incredible collection of aircraft. Very friendly and helpful staff. Well worth the time to visit and explore.

The Valiant Air Museum is a real gem. A nice collection of aircraft in a well run facility. I took a guided tour which lasted almost two hours and was conducted by a knowledgeable guide who was a retired military pilot. He provided many interesting facts about the aircraft in the museums diverse collection and stories from his experiences in avaition. There is an active restoration hanger on site where some interesting restoration work is ongoing. The museum is located close to the Kennedy Space Center and makes for a great second day activity after the touring the space center. Allow two or three hours for your visit.

I found this place whilst doing some leisure flying in Florida, discovering you can land at Space Coast Regional, where the museum is, and request taxi to the museum!

The museum is an absolute gem. Just fantastic. I expected a small, local effort, but I was delightfully shocked to find a collection of almost 50 absolutely immaculate aircraft! Everything from a tiger moth to an F16. The whole collection, including the small items in the side rooms, were impeccably presented.

To top it all off, they have a B52 cockpit section which you can climb into if a guide is present, and a DC3 which you can climb into, again with a guide. Just amazing. Finish your tour off with a good look around the great little shop.

Police and military, past and present, get $2 off, even me, being ex British forces, still qualified.

We visited with three children under the age of eight and had a blast. We took a tour with Mr. Curt and he is knowledgeable. So much interesting history to share about each aircraft and items in the main room. Highly recommend you take the tour guides up on their offer for a tour. You'll get access to go inside different airplanes to check them out. I plan to visit again without kids so I can learn and ask more questions.

Visited with my daughter And her boyfriend. Very nice and clean. The staff as helpful and knowledgable. There is an artifact museum inside with things I have never seen

On the way to Kennedy space centre I see a sign for this place. We take a detour thinking it might be worth a look. Im an aviation nut. As I pull into the carpark Im blown away. Theres a two seat MIG-21 and a Mohawk in the carpark!!! I can see an F-101 Voodoo in the back. Im sold. Paid a small and deserved fee and entered the best aviation museum I have ever seen. There are two large hangers and some more outside exhibits. Its heavy on cold war era aircraft that right up my alley' I would list the aircraft as it would take to long. Suffice to say they are all kept and preserved exquisitely!! Also they are not behind barriers but you can walk right up and under these magnificent machines. The staff are just awesome. I think they appreciated someone like myself have some knowlege of these beautiful jets. Ill attach a few photos. They speak for themselves.

we went here during their air show last year and i was really amazed that for such a local museum it was full of great exhibits and tons of educational information

My husband and I spent 3.5 enjoyable hours here! Having your own personal guide makes the the experience so much nicer. Our guide, Curt, was very knowledgeable and patient answering our questions. We learned so much from him. We were also lucky that Retired Major Joe Reus was there to tell us about his service in WWII, Korea and Vietnam. With a guide, you can climb aboard some of the airplanes and visit the restoration hanger. Go early (open 9-5), even though we went on a Tuesday, by late morning, people were waiting for a guide. The admission price is VERY reasonable, so if you can, donate a few more dollars to help the dedicated volunteers keep the museum open.

We had a fabulous two hour visit at this museum. Our docent Don Henry was an incredibly knowledgeable man! I came here at my husbands bequest... I’m a former Merchant Marine / Navy Officer ...what do I know about planes? I learned a lot and enjoyed it very much .

This hidden little gem is on the outskirts of Titusville, Fl. A town rich in space and flight history. This museum has many WWII and Vietnam aircraft and artifacts.

Their tour guide volunteers are friendly and knowledgeable with out being over bearing or condescending. (Ask for Randy)

They have many more volunteers rebuilding/refurbishing aircraft as well as all other aspects of running a museum.

Enjoy. Well worth the cost. (Even our 13 year old grandson thought so). I would allow 2-3 hours to tour this Museum.

The Warbird Museum it one of the nest aircraft musuems i have been to. They had aircraft from WWII through present day, The aircraft are in superb condition and many are still being flown toay. A must if you are in Titusville.

Great experience for anyone who likes airplanes & military history. Every US citizen should visit this museum. It is a very moving experience. Their annual Air Show is not to be missed.

If you love your old planes and aviation history/memorabilia you must see this place. Do not miss it. $20 entry and if you are like me you will need a good couple of hours to see it all.
They have a unique collection of planes, engines, aviation related hardware, models, and memorabilia. Most aircraft are brilliantly restored, with quite a few in airworthy condition.
Very well layed out and labeled; lots to read if you want the detail. You walk around the aircraft and get a real close up view. You can take some great photos. You can walk into the DC3 and have a good look around.
The history and memorabilia displays are extensive and impressive. Mostly stuff from private collections and some pretty rare pieces.
The staff are well informed and happy to show you around and answer questions.
Good gift shop.
Highly recommended.

I had a great time. The museum wasn't busy so I had a personal tour guide. Bruce was very knowledgeable and had interesting stories about the planes.

Visited with military friends which made our experience even more special. $20 per adult, $18 for 60 & over. Great hands on experience with very informative volunteer tour guides. Missed the Restoration hanger because it closes an hour before closing so make sure to see that first. You can enter multiple planes to really see what it may have been like for the crew. Well stocked gift shop with some pretty unique items. Easy to find, parking is free and sufficient for the size of museum. Good for all ages. Inside & outside experience.

This museum is a living airplane hanger. Many of the classic planes are still operational and they take them out for air shows. You can get up close and see and touch many of the planes. The Vietnam hanger was very nice and hit home.

Great collection of war aircraft and items from air force
Helpful staff who were more than happy to help in explaining aircraft

This is a great museum with restored airplanes from the beginning of aviation to the present. They have wonderful, knowledgeable guides to take you around and tell you stories about the individual planes or you can explore on your own. You can climb into a B52 cockpit And a DC3 plane only if a guide is present! Awesome! There are 2 display halls with artifacts, pictures, medals, uniforms and all sorts of memorabilia. There are 2 hangars with all the planes very well displayed! The restoration hangar again can only be seen with a guide. It was unbelievable the condition of the 4 planes that were in there in various levels of restoration! All of these planes have been restored by retired Volunteer airplane mechanics who gladly give up to 40 Free hours a week working to restore these planes with a lot of Love and Pride in their work! It can take up to 5 YEARS to restore 1 of these planes!! Some of these planes have been brought up from the bottom of Lake Michigan which had a barge in it during the war where the US pilots would train to take off, fly and land and sometimes crash these planes. Who knew Lake Michigan had these sunken treasures! There is also a great gift shop with airplane models and all sorts of memorabilia! Be sure to check it All out!

We were toured by an extraordinary young woman with an encyclopedic knowledge of the aircraft in the hangars. She's learning how to fly and still in school. If you can, call ahead to see when she'll be there. Bring your daughters and grandaughters. To be so close to these aircraft from WWI to the present and to learn about their individual stories was so moving ... I am opposed to war in most circumstances but understand there are times when it is just.So the story of the warbirds is part of our continuing journey to the stars.. . where it looks like humankind is going to need to go.....the other guides we met briefly are men you must meet now before they are gone. We spent a very interesting time with a modest Vietnam navigator. Learned later he had been decorated for bravery multiple times. And we met one of the Coast Guard's first pilots who ended up commanding over 600 men.... The admission cost is more than reasonable for what you learn and well worth it to educate any young people you bring with you. The people who built and flew these craft truly had "The Right Stuff "

I took my kids to this visit. It was a wonderful experience. The museum itself isn't huge-- but is interesting. The absolute BEST part is the planes. I highly recommend a docent lead tour. It was easy and cost no extra money. We just walked into the hangar and Curtis asked if we would like a tour. He knew so much about the planes. Technical stuff that I enjoyed. Historical facts and funny stories which my family enjoyed. We also go to sit inside a B52 cockpit. I highly recommend going here if you have any interest in aircraft. Completely worth an hour drive and the admission price!

Worth a visit! Large number of memorabilia, beautiful restored planes and friendly staff. Good location close to the Kennedy Space Center.

Very cool, we got a personal tour guide who explained everything about the every plane. We could also sit in a B52 cockpit.

This was a pleasant surprise with how much there was there to see. There were a ton of planes and memorabilia. The tour guy was knowledgeable in his explanations but we kind of wish we had been in with the group ahead of us who actually was an elderly man and was showing the internals in some of the plans and really knew what he was doing, so I am guessing he was a vet. There is a lot of walking and standing on this. They were also able to talk about air shows, what planes flew in which ones, etc. Time well spent!

You can see many restored aircraft from jets to small planes. You can walk from hanger to hanger viewing the different war birds from many different eras.

Incredible museum. A wide variety of aircraft recovered from history and displayed for everyone to see up close. In some of them you can enter. Special mention to our guide Noah, who from his experience as a pilot explained everything to us in detail and gave us a lot of knowledge and a lot of emotion. I wish we could have stayed the whole day listening to him!! It is well worth going to see it even if you don't know anything about airplanes (it was my case) because you will leave wanting to learn more about this exciting world.

We visited for a second time, this time we flew into KTIX (Space Coast) from Bartow. It's a simple taxi, from the end of runway 09 to the apron at the Museum and we parked up there for duration of our visit.
Lots to see and do, the Canberra is now undergoing a repaint in the paint shop.
All the staff are friendly and there are several distinct sections to look at, war era memorabilia, the Vietnam section, the paint shop and the main aircraft display. Many of the aircraft are airworthy and are flown. This is one of the better museums in Florida!
Great place and great staff.

Great place to walk back in time in American history. Veteran volunteers explain things and you could really spend a lot of time here looking at all the old planes. Great place for kids too!

This is a fantastic way to see many wonderfully restored and rejuvenated planes without the usual access barriers. Staff are friendly and welcoming. We were shown around the museum by Mel, a volunteer, who was full of information and wonderful stories of his experiences as a pilot. We were pleasantly surprised at how many different types of aircraft and memorabilia were on display. This is a 'must do' side trip for any family visiting the Kennedy Space Centre.

Great place to visit many planes to see and touch on display like a walk back in aviation history,also watching the restoration of these historical aircraft is amazing One of my favorite places to go on the space coast to visit and do not miss there Airshow in March its a must see!

Spent a few hours here with a 10 & 14 year old. They enjoyed it. I could have spent more time. Great tour guides.

For a smaller airport, this museum boasts a fine collection of restored military aircraft from the U.S. and other nations. Many of them are still in flying condition and we arrived just after a WWII B-25 had flown that day. Timing is everything.
The staff and docents were extremely knowledgeable and instructive. Amazing to see one of the ONLY P-82 fighter aircraft from the WWII. This is a pair of P-51 Mustangs assembled together in a twin fuselage configuration.

The museum does not sit on a major highway, but just follow the signs, as it is well worth the visit.

This was my second visit and still have not seen it all. Both visits were with young children. Docents are very knowledgeable and love to assist with any questions and to talk to children. There are enough displays to cover many interests, need several more visits to see it all, plus the exhibits have changed since the last time I was there. Lots of action the day we were there, as a tail section was being installed on a plane. Aviation buffs will love all of the restoration in progress. The gift shop is awesome and there is a great selection of items. This museum ranks up with the top aviation museums in the US and I have been to most. One member of our party was most fascinated by all of the old engines on display. The museum hosts an awesome air show in the spring.

If you are at all interested in airplanes, historical wars, this is a great place to visit!
Very affordable att only $22 for adults.
Got my all time favorite fighter, the Grumman F14 Tomcat among many other planes.
Do not miss this opportunity!

As an aviation buff, I'm probably a bit biased here; however, this was a great experience. The museum is curating memorabilia large and small. Of course the highlight of the museum is the aircraft; but the museum also has items from several eras of air combat and the military in general. We were fortunate enough to have a guided tour from a docent with the museum. He was friendly, courteous and knowledgeable with regard to the museum's exhibits. The exhibits at the museum range from working aircraft and vehicles, to restored aircraft, to even a replica or two. There were also interesting aircraft-related parts, like engines, radio equipment, and period flight simulators to show the equipment for training aviators of an era. The museum also has military memorabilia related to aviation from WWI, WWII, Korea, and Vietnam.

The majority of the tour is indoors; so this attraction is good for either sunshine or rain.

A few highlights of the tour from my perspective:
F86 Sabre
B25 Mitchell
F14 Tomcat
B52 flight deck
F4 Phantom

A must see attraction on the Space Coast for enthusiasts of all ages.

I took a morning to visit the Valiant Air Command Warbird Museum in Titusville, Florida. The weather was cool and rainy (January) and I was struggling for something to do. I stumbled upon this little gem of a museum, and ended up spending many hours there.

Getting there is easy. The route is well signposted from Columbia Boulevard (the 405), and the museum buildings sit just off Tico Road on the North side of the Space Coast Airport. The entry fee for adults was $20, military / veteran pay $18, and children $5. This is well worth it!

The exhibits are amazing, a fabulous mixture of memorabilia, uniforms, vehicles and real aircraft. All of the aircraft are immaculate, many of them are kept in flying condition, and lots of them are still flown!

The museum facilities are excellent; clean, well lit and beautifully set out, and you can get right up to touch the aircraft and to take photographs. Guides even take you into the restoration hangar, where you can see the ongoing work.

This is a must-see attraction that would suit all ages. It is good for either a sunny or rainy day, as the vast majority of the aircraft and exhibits are under cover. Of special interest? Hard to pick out any one thing, but I recommend the F-4J and the UH-1 Huey, both of which have great "back-stories". Look out for their Fly-Ins, where they offer special visits and breakfasts!

Thanks to all of the staff, not only for keeping the place and exhibits in such great condition, but also for extending such a warm and sincere welcome. I will definitely visit again next time I am in town.

Today I fulfilled a lifelong ambition to see a Tomcat in real life and it was made possible through this amazing museum and one of its friendly and knowledgeable volunteer staff, Curtis. The museum is a labour of love for the volunteers running it as guides, mechanics and merchandisers and it shows. I’d come to see the F-14 but there were so many other incredible machines on display that I’d had my money’s worth before even getting to the Tomcat. I shall be recommending it to anyone looking for ideas in Florida. The highlight of my entire holiday, thank you folks, we shall return!

The VAC has a lot to see and explore. Well worth the time and very modest price. They are continually adding and updating.

My parents and I went here recently and it was a blast! The museum has an enormous amount of aviation memorabilia near the entrance and three hangars filled with warplanes from every era. The tour was excellent and the staff was extremely friendly. Certainly a must see if you like military history. I would go again. It was a great, hassle-free experience.

if u enjoy war birds from the past this place is great u can walk right up to the aircraft and see them right in front of you they have displays and people that will give you tons of info just ask they have a great airshow you dont want to miss it is fantastic and they had a car show too a couple years ago at the same time it was alittle pricy to get in but its worth it spend the day

An excellent museum with many great examples of historic marine corps aircraft. The visit was msde all the better by a personal guide by an ex marine corps pilot and squdron commander.

This museum also has the name of the Tico Air Museum.

If the aircraft had not been crammed so close together in the main museum hangar, it would be a terrific place to visit. Most enthusiasts like to photograph them, but it was impossible the day we were there. Otherwise, I would have given the museum a perfect score.

The staff and the docents, of which there are plenty, are absolutely wonderful. You are offered the services of a docent when you arrive and these guys have wonderful tales to relate. There also are some rarities here, such as an F-5E modified for DARPA, a "shaped sonic boom demonstrator."

My wife climbed up into the cockpit of the B-52 bomber nose section they have on display. I took a look at where she had gone and decided that climb wasn't for me. But do go up if you are healthy or spry enough.

We spent a couple of hours at the Museum. It's amazing how many artifacts are there. But the real gem of the museum are the beautifully restored warbirds. Had a very lengthy and detailed tour By volunteer named Dick. This would be a good rainy day activity.

Near Kennedy Space Center. A small museum with lots of working airplanes from American History. Stop in for the Warbirds Show in March.

We stopped in to this museum on a gorgeous day. The docent at the door was welcoming and directed to the desk to pay for admission. Got a few bucks off for being a veteran. Most planes in the main hangar were well restored. Story boards on most with QR codes to get more details on THAT specific plane. All the volunteers were knowledgeable and helpful. We were invited into the restoration hangar to view some unique planes being restored, up close.

Well worth the price of admission and we’ll be back.

This is a great military aircraft museum and the volunteers are exceptionally knowledgeable and friendly. Make a point to have one of them take you on a tour of the restoration hangar to see the on-going rehabilitation of multiple types of planes. (You must have one of them escort you to see that hangar.) The Vietnam era exhibits are particularly well-done and quite extensive and several of the aircraft on display in the museum are in flight-ready condition. There are also multiple planes displayed that are on loan from the National Museum of Naval Aviation in Pensacola (one of the largest and best military museums in the US) which was a pleasant surprise. Don't forget to also visit the WWII memorabilia wing to the right of the main entrance atrium as well. There's tons of flight gear, etc to see and some interesting models as well. Plan for about 2-3 hours to be able to see everything and have a tour of the rehabilitation hangar.

Seen the signs for the museum on our way over to Kennedy Space Center. Came back the following day to visit. Numerous exhibits of personal memorabilia relating to military aviation, forty some restored aircraft, some of which are actively flown in air shows, etc.. Aircraft and a few ground vehicles from all four branches of the military. All spread out over three hangars, one of which active restoration by volunteers is taking place, a guide is required for the restoration hangar as it is an active shop area. The other hangars and memorabilia areas are self guided or one of the museum volunteers will gladly provide an informative tour of the aircraft. We will return as I am waiting to see the restored B-52 cockpit that they are currently working on. These folks have done a great job over the years restoring and keeping up these aircraft.

I accompanied my husband to the Valiant air command Warbird museum as it's a subject he is interested in. I was more than a little bit surprised at how interesting it was. We we treated to a guided tour through the hangars by Jim Pace (?Not positive of the last name). Jim is a retired air force pilot who was incredibly knowledgeable and enthusiastic. He answered all our questions some of which were pretty technical. Many of the planes are in various states of restoration and work was going on while we were there. Jim made a subject of which I had no knowledge and little interest fascinating and engaging. He kept my interest for over 2 hours. He is an excellent teacher and I can only imagine how well he would relate to a school group or family with young kids.
There is also a room of war memorabilia and a well stocked gift shop.
If you have any interest in historic war planes or their restoration you cannot go wrong with a visit here!

My wife and I attended this show today and had a great time. The event was very well organized and anyone associated with the displays were very helpful and friendly. Most of the aircraft on display had people standing by to answer any questions you might have. Parking was easy and there were golf carts offering rides (free) from your vehicle to the show entrance. In the morning, we wandered among the parked planes and other vehicles, and then at noon we set up our chairs next to the main runway (we brought our folding chairs but you could rent a chair from the show). There were many food concessions set up adjacent to the main seating area. The flying part of the show lasted about 4hours and was very exciting and organized, c/w a very knowledgeable announcer. It was a highly entertaining and educational day and we would recommend it to anyone.

My husband and I have lived in Titusville for almost 15 years and this was our first visit to the museum, I don’t think it will be the last! Our guide Kevin was excellent, you could tell he truly loves what he is doing and has a real knowledge of everything he showed us, he was also very receptive and seemed excited to learn new information from one of the gentleman on the tour with us. The airplanes and memorabilia was very interesting. I was surprised to learn that all but 2 people who “work” in the museum are volunteers, that really shows how much this means to them, because of this fact I recommend having some cash on hand for tips and/or to contribute to helping with restoration of airplanes and hangers. If you are the area definitely take a couple hours to step back in time and learn about some of the history behind our Freedom.

I went with my children 10/8. As an active military member it was so comfortable, but I'd imagine for any history buff, patriot or just lover of speed and technology my feelings would be shared. The kids got temp tattoos, face painted and of course the raw power and acrobatic planes with a service oriented flavor. We enjoyed the cars too - first time I'd ever seen a Bugatti up close.

Parking was plentiful and the ever present Florida golf carts took you closer, though the walk was only 3-5 minutes. Cost wasn't too bad, though I was disappointed at an event clearly military related, attended by active recruiting of the Air Force and others there was no military discount.

The tour guides are volunteers that have tons of experience and are very generous with their time telling stories and answering questions. We have been a few times and really enjoy it... our kids are ages 8,5, and 3. The store has some fun goodies and aviation classics.

You can get up close and personal with all the planes. After admission, guided tours are free. Many of the tour guides are combat veterans who have interesting stories to tell. Many of the planes are historic and unique.

The Valiant Air Command Warbird Museum is a delightful time. The volunteers are knowledgeable and friendly. The displays were well done as were the planes.
Highly recommend this. Thank you to all those at the museum.

Nice tour of old war planes and jets. Knowledgeable tour guide. Reasonably priced and kids loved it, ages 9 and 10

I love this place. And especially the planes, some of them air worth that are here. Excellent spot for old pilots and war nostalgia buffs like me. Go spot for kids as well.

The admission fee was reasonable. Was surprised at the variety of aircraft present, modern jet, WW2, and WWI aircraft. Also a good cross section of Vietnam era aircraft. Staff was friendly and helpful. The hangers are in an active airport but are small for the aircraft in them and they seamed cramped together making them difficult to photograph. I visited on a stormy rainy day and do not know if they may put the aircraft out on the flight line on pretty days. I had fun viewing them and will go back next. Would recommend this place for aircraft buffs and Vietnam era veterans.

Spotted this museum on our journey to Kennedy Space Centre and decided to visit. So glad we did! We were shown round by Tom Wilke on essentially a personal docent tour. He was knowledgable, enthusiastic and really engaging. It helped make our visit.

There were lots of lovely examples of planes from different eras of flight. A personal highlight was the opportunity to visit their workshop where you could see specimens that were being returned back to their former glory. This is a side that is hidden from the public in a typical museum. One of the works in progress was a section of a B52. You were able to climb up to the flight deck and you are able to sit in the pilot’s seats. A real treat!

All of the aircraft are well presented and the 2 memorabilia rooms are an added bonus. We easily spent a good 2 - 3 hours in the museum as a whole. Well worth a trip!

The holy grail of fighter jets, warbirds, & pretty much every other military plane. If there was a place to see them all... THIS IS IT!

Great aircraft(planes and helicopters) dating from WW1 to the present. American,British,German and Russian planes. Great displays of memorabilia and artifacts. nice souvenir shop, too.

The Tico Belle, a C 47 that was used in WWII is one of the planes at the museum and is in great condition. Other planes and helicopters from Vietnam Nam era are also there along with a nice display of war memorabilia. I always enjoy visiting this place. Would like to see more WWII planes.

Great place for a half day visit. Loads of exhibits and extremely knowledgeable docents. One of the many places to visit along the Space Coast of Florida.

Have been to Titusville many times, but never knew about this place until recent trip. They have about 45 static displays of planes, many of which can still fly. You can go on a tour, no extra cost and will get a wealth of knowledge about the different aircraft. I would think you would need a least 2 hours to really do this place justice.

A little tricky to find, the Waze app helped, but well worth the trouble. As an Air Force vet, 65-69, I really enjoyed the experience. Quite a number of real and model planes and some ships, carriers mostly, and planes from different branches of the service. They have a separate hanger for Viet Nam era planes and displays as well as a separate 'working' hanger where they restore aircraft for other museums. I even got a chance to get to the cockpit of a BUFF - really small space there - looks bigger in the movies. The volunteers were quite well versed and knowledgeable. The also had some WW II German and Japanese planes and items on display.

I took my father and grandfather, both connected to aviation, to this museum (Senior citizens and military receive admission discounts). They had a really enjoyable time.

I highly recommend utilizing the free tour guide service to show you around. They provide so much more detail, stories, and insight than just the display plaques. And they can answer questions, too. They all have aviation experience. Our tour guide was great. He even asked for my father's insight and experience.

We were at this museum on one of the days the Ford Tri-motor was visiting so we got to watch it take off and land several times, along with several other small planes. The museum is located on an active runway.

The planes were from various years and there were some pretty remarkable ones too. My favorite? One of the planes used in the movie The Great Escape!

All of the planes have been restored and we got to walk through the hanger where they were actively restoring planes.

Even the gift shop was great. The ladies working there were very helpful and friendly.

Aside from the planes, there is a neat museum dedicated to aviation history and has lots of WWII memorabilia.

I highly recommend visiting this museum.

Excellent museum that is on the way to the NASA Space Center. Stopped for a quick visit with my 8 year old and we enjoyed touring the WWII and Vietnam War hangars. So much to see, and the planes are clearly well maintained.
Personally I wanted to see the Tico Belle, as my grandfather flew C-47's during WWII and the plane exceeded my expectations! Enjoyed being able to peek inside and look around. My son was enthralled with the Vietnam War hangar. We enjoyed looking around, before continuing down the road to NASA - well worth the stop!

Went to the museum expecting to wander around solo but very surprised to have our own guide for no extra cost.
A well thought out museum and was great to see the restorations they were doing.
Well worth a visit.
Will keep a look out for Tico Belle if she manages to get to Normandy for the D Day anniversary x

Lots of photographs and memorabilia for anyone not especilally interested in planes.
Large collection of American fighter planes from WW2 and Vietnam- a few other types of plane too.

Wow! what a great museum. A wide selection of aircraft. They had to have over 200 different aircraft. Some the aircraft include: a replica of the Red Baron Fokker, T33, F4, F6, F14, F18, A6, and the list goes on. My favorite was the C47 which flew in Normandy on V Day. They are refreshing a restoration in order to fly back Normandy next year for the 75 year anniversary of the evasion of Normandy. The tour guides are super and very knowledgeable about the aircraft and history of each aircraft. While you don’t have to follow a guide, I would follow one due to their knowledge. You can tour by yourself and walk all around the aircraft. Photos are allowed, but no touching the aircraft. What a great display of flying military hardware.

We noticed the Warbird Museum on our way to the Kennedy Space Center and decided to visit on our way out. They have quite a collection of old military aircraft, restored and displayed in hangers. You can get up close and really get a good look at these awesome machines. The volunteer tour guides have lots of information and history to share. Many planes there still fly, and there are several currently under restoration. It was really a great experience.

The museum spans warbirds from WWI to about the 80s. Most are well preserved; at least the ones in the hangers. The artifact section is, for me, the coolest part with some great WWI and WWII aircraft and flight crew personal items.

A new addition is a restored B52 flight deck you can crawl into. One of the guides there happens to be an old BUFF pilot. Great gent to talk to...

The guides are excellent; knowledgeable and friendly. If you're lucky you will run into someone who owns one of the warbirds stored here. All of them have have been friendly and more than willing to stop what they are doing and talk to patrons.

The only reason I don’t give it a 5 star rating is the presentation of the aircraft can be a bit hit or miss and I’m not sure this is really a reason to stop if you aren’t planning to be in the area already. If you at are planning to stop, and you like military aviation, then pay a visit.

This is a smaller collection of historic (and quite modern) military aircraft. (Three large hangers worth, so not small, but the airforce museum in the uk is far bigger). That being said, the planes are in great condition and you get pretty good access to them, being able to touch them, look into bomb bays etc. The guides and all staff are very friendly, happy to joke around.. Iticket price is $20 for adults. Definitely a great place to go.

This is one of those places that if you enjoy history and aeronautics you could very easily spend a couple of days in just hanging out. They always have a lot of events going on, I believe it have a monthly fly in Saturday breakfast which is like a mini air show in itself with a meal and a lot of really cool people. So what can I say if you get a chance go I very highly recommend.

There are some unique aircraft in here, and each has a story. Friendly staff. Very knowledgeable. Nice little detour after a day at the Space Center

Great place for airplane and military enthusiasts! We could look into cockpits, get a close look at plane engines and watch mechanics working on the planes! Fascinating! Soo much knowledge in one place.

We wanted to do some outdoor activities but ended up finding this place, since it was indoors. Really a neat find. They have a large selection of vintage aircraft spanning WWI and up. A number of them were restored and in flying condition. You pay your entrance fee and then are allowed to roam through the museum and collection of planes and jets. A couple of docents are walking around and can guide you through some of the planes and hangers. I was fascinated with some of the WWII uniforms and a cut-out section of a 12 cylinder aircraft engine. You can easily spend 3 hrs here.

Came with friends who love warbards and they just loved all the planes. I loved the information about all the different wars. Was a a lot of history!

Have visited MANY air museums. This is as good as it gets. Where else can you see a Fokker tri wing, (Think Red Barron), a BritishTiger Moth, a B 25 Mitchell bomber, Mig 15, & numerous other vintage planes in one hanger. All beautifully presented in exceptionally clean surroundings. Then there are 2 more hangers to visit with outstanding aircraft & memorabilia. The highlight is the completely restored "Tico Belle" C-47. A D-Day participant with remarkable war record. Don't miss this place.....

We all enjoyed our tour here but the veterans in our family LOVED the day! The tours are so much better because of volunteers who "were there" and add so much to your understanding of the use and importance of these planes and tell you so much about their personal history in planes like these!

Real nice museum with an impressive collection of aircraft and artifacts. Knowledgeable guides who take the time to actually explain something, not just describe it.

Stumbled on to this on way to Space Center. Nice museum, great planes, some airworthy, simulators are fun and the restoration area interesting.. Guides are informative and friendly. Worth a stop.

Enjoyed the knowledgeable guided tour of all the warbirds. Even got to see some restoration in process.

There are lots of places, exhibits and displays but honestly the volunteers here made the visit great. They were happy to discuss the airplanes and answer questions. More importantly it is obvious they are dedicated to preserving and refurbishing war places and memories.

Guided tour is reallly recommended. At first i was afraid our guide was the 'rambling' type and that the tour would be tedious. As we got into the tour, the guide proved to be knowledgable and helpful, providing insights beyond what you would get simply standing and looking at the various aircraft. There is a 'rennovation' hangar which I think could probably be eliminated from the tour. Not much to be said about aircraft in varying stages of repair. Would like more 'hands on' and ability to go inside or sit in cockpit of the aircraft.
Otherwise a good tour and will do it again next time in the area.

The Valiant Air Command Warbird Museum is located at the Space Coast Regional Airport, just south of Titusville, Florida. The VAC contains vintage aircraft and a 30,000-square-foot (2,800 m2) hangar with a restoration area.[The VAC also has a Memorabilia Hall with flight gear, dress uniforms, weapons and artifacts. The flagship aircraft of the museum is a Douglas C-47 Skytrain called "TICO Belle."

I went to the airshow this past April and also had the chance to visit the museum. There are lots of historical items there to see. Artifacts, pictures, paintings, of course airplanes and some toys for the kids. It is mostly based on WWII type aircraft but you can also see some late 60's things there too. It's worth a visit and I think the charge is pretty reasonable.

We took our son for his 16th birthday on our trip to Orlando. I was surprised how much I enjoyed it myself! Bill, our tour guide was lovely and full of stories and interesting information.

Informative, interesting! A museum volunteer had so much knowledge about all the. Planes. We really enjoyed this.

What a wonderful & informative way to spend an afternoon. Great assortment of planes to see. Bob, a Viet Nam vet, was our guide. He was so knowledgeable sharing his wealth of information. Being able to climb into a cockpit of a B-52 bomber was worth the price of admission in itself. Highly recommended.

On the route to the Kennedy Space complex, this museum is well worth a couple of hours of your time. The museum section is well-stocked with model planes, uniforms, kit, division insignia, photos. There’s a section for the Battle of Britain. Then you go out into the hangers and find them crammed with aircraft, some undergoing restoration. A separate section is dedicated to those lost in the Vietnam war and then a hanger ful of aircraft used in that conflict. A well-spent 2 hours (if you have an interest in military aircraft).

Great visit with the guides showing you around and giving the “behind the scenes story” of the planes.
Will be back with my kids next year as they’d love it too.
Highlight was the winnebago helicopter story!
Thanks everyone.

Stopped by just to check on what they had on display expecting a few misc aircraft in old hangers. WRONG! Newer hangers incl a restoration hanger where they restore the war birds from the ground up and the newest hanger for Vietnam era. Price is fair and you can elect to be escorted by a tour guide, go on your own or a combination. They have about 35 war birds from WW - I thru those recently retired from the military. The only items that would suggest to improve the visit would be an audio or at least a handout describing each aircraft and it's history. The tour guides do a good job but sometimes they are all busy with other guests. For those that may be in the area in March, they have a war bird airshow for three days.

Do not miss this amazing collection of warbirds at Titusville. There are aircraft from WWI to the 80s. It is very close to the Kennedy Space Center, so if you are visiting that, you can easily fit this museum on the same day. They also have a restoration hangar but that isn’t open on Sundays. The collection in the main hangar is tightly packed so you may miss seeing the aircraft in isolation, but on the flip side you get to walk right under them. The Vietnam era exhibit is excellent and you can even get to sit in a B52 cockpit. Museum volunteers will also help with the flight simulators that are available. If you have any interest in aviation, do not skip this.

Had a little extra time in Titusville, not enough time for Kennedy Space Center so decided on the Warbirds museum. Very interesting, lot of interesting aircraft and memorabilia. And the personalized tour / assistance was great. Entry fee was $20, not a bad price for everything they have.

Well worth it!! We decided to have a guided tour - Our guide was a Veteran and definitely knew his stuff!! It took about an hour and a half for the tour...Time well spent!! He was very friendly and funny! Was amazed to find out everyone that works to help restore the planes are all volunteers who had worked in the airline industry in one form or another prior to retirement. Such dedication!!

We went on a tour of this museum. From the outside it doesn't look too big, but they really packed a lot inside. They have three hangers. One for WWI, WWII, and Korean Conflict aircraft. The second is dedicated to aircraft used during the Vietnam War, and the final hangar is for restoration where volunteers do an amazing job bringing decommissioned aircraft back to life. We got a private tour led by Jerry, who was a wealth of information. He really made the visit! If you enjoy aviation history, I would definitely recommend a stop here.

Anybody visiting Titusville/Kennedy Space Center area must visit here! It was absolutely breath-taking to see the military jets and helicopters up close. The restoration projects are amazing and everything is done by retired military VOLUNTEERS!! The tour was an added bonus and the kids were intrigued with the stories. There are plenty of awesome photo opportunities. The Blue Angels were our favorite! Definitely a hidden gem!

As we left Kennedy space center, we drive by this little museum. At first we were a little shocked at the 20.00 admission each and being told if you want to see the other building , look for the blue shirted guide. We saw lots of interesting planes and the guide was NO WHERE to be found until we were leaving and saw several employees in the break room. The technician working on planes was kind enough to stop working and see if we had any questions -he also apologized for the guide being there - several other museum goers were looking for the same guide. We saw several planes I had never seen before - also found some goodies in the gift shop. It was a nice hour long stop.

What an amazing varied collection that have here. Something for everyone from all the different eras of airplanes. Staff were fantastically friendly and seemed genuinely happy to see visitors. A fair bit to see so give yourself a few hours at least.

Just an amazing visit. Well worth the trip and the price if admission.
Docet's are knowledgeable and friendly. We went when it opened and got a 90m personal tour.
Lots of aircraft to see and history to experience. A C47 that flew two paratrooper sorties on DDay? Seriously amazing to walk through that aircraft! Yes, you can walk in the same plane that dropped heroes into Normandy. We could have spent another 90m there and still not have seen it all. HIGHLY recommend.

This Museum is well worth the time to visit. Plan on a good two hours, more if you get one of the more senior and knowledgeable guides. Not a lot there on WWI, some grand displays of some WWII aircraft as well as Korea, and Vietnam. Check ahead to see when they will have a "Fly In" or an Air Show.

Went to this museum after a day down in Titusville, I have to say that this museum is very much been done by people that are passionate about planes and restoration. Very enjoyable and very informative!!! Has some very classic war planes and some new planes!!

At just a few minutes drive from KSC's visitor's complex there's this great aviation museum with dozens of military aircraft from WW2 to the Vietnam era. Some of them are in flying conditions. Guided tours allow to visit the restoration hangar.

I love this place. And especially the planes, some of them air worthy that are here. Excellent spot for old pilots and war nostalgia buffs like me. Great spot for kids as well. They have picnic grounds and the guides are volunteer caring guys

Trip advisor - will you accept a review of this amazing show - sponsored by the Valiant Museum in Titusville?

This was a wonderful by chance find. We both loved the war planes and memorabilia. The volunteers are great and very knowledgable about all the different aircraft. If you like War history and planes you will love the visit!

Wow! What a unique and well done museum. This military aviation museum has a ton of unique planes, military history exhibits and a restoration section that you can watch them fully restore planes to the tiniest detail. One word of advice is to talk to the volunteer guides that are walking around. That is what ended up making our visit so special! They are incredibly knowledgeable and often have a direct tie to some of the pieces in the collection. They also have a very large gift shop and a few vending machines for snacks or drinks. Admission is a bit high, but you can find a coupon on their website.

This is on the eastern side of the Space Coast Regional Airport. The front face is a single building right off Tico Road. There is a parking lot directly in front of the main building. Tickets cost about $22 per person. There are 3 buildings associated with the museum. The first building has a lot of the more current aircraft. I was truly impressed as they had a F-15, 16, and 22 that were in excellent condition and on loan from other museums. You can walk out of the back of that building onto the concrete apron (make sure you DO NOT go past the signs onto the runway!). The second building had many of the older aircraft from Vietnam to now. They were all in excellent condition. Adjacent to that was a room that had a lot of memorabilia and information on the Vietnam War. Outside the second building (south of it) were 3 other aircraft that you could view. Overall, it is a very nice museum full of information, beautiful planes, and friendly staff. You exit through the gift shop. I plan to visit again and think you should too if you like beautiful aircraft in great condition!

The place is bigger than it looks from the outside, and it was awesome! Where else can you go and actually touch and F-14 Tomcat, F-18 and a B-25 Mitchel! Staff are retired military volunteers and very nice. Gift shop was well stocked. The amount of WWII memorabilia and artifacts are mind blowing. This place is awesome.

Lucky to get free admission as part of a Senior expo. Very interesting collection of vintage aircraft from world wars, Vietnam and Korean wars. Large hangars housed the collection as well as a restoration area. There were some planes and helicopters outside that you could see, and you could go into a Douglas C-47 named Tico Belle. Also had flight gear, dress uniforms, weapons and artifacts in a memorabilia hall. Was very interesting and informative.

Stopped here for a visit without knowing anything about the museum. A great unexpected stop. The museum is jammed packed with planes, artifacts and history. They even had mannequins displaying the clothing. The tour guides are spot on and a wealth of information. They talked specifically about every plane and gave a detailed history. There was an older plane that was revving up but left before it took off. The history of the planes were quite interesting. We had a tour of the hangar where they restore the aircrafts. One you could go inside but you had to climb a ladder and do some crawling. We opted out of that one but students said it was awesome. A great place to learn about history.

Came here as recently visited the imperial war museum in London, England but enjoyed this just as much if not more. We had our own tour guide who was so lovely and helpful, even though he was laughing at me taking photos all the time. I was blown away at such knowledge he had to tell us and so many planes where there and it was an amazing sight to see. I would thoroughly recommend you to go and visit this museum. It really is amazing. We thoroughly invited out visit and it was a pleasure to meet the staff who work here to keep the museum open. Thank you.

Several hangars with historic planes for display and ones that currently fly. See memorabilia from the history of flight through 9/11 war planes. Take a tour with a tour guide and learn about these amazing machines. All staff incredibly friendly and passionate about the aircraft. One thing to note is that hangars are not air conditioned. Tour took about 2 hours, all walking and standing. Plenty of photo opportunities.

We stopped there on the way back from Orlando. They have three hangars of WW1, WW11, Korean and Vietnam era was planes, plus lots of personal memorabilia. The planes are refurbished by volunteers and they have wonderful volunteer guides. You can even sit in a B52 bomber cockpit. A grand salute to the great men and women who maintain these important pieces of history.

A mix of ages of aircraft, WWII and newer mostly. Many are flyable, most of others in nice state of preservation. Experienced docents--tapping into the variety of retired aerospace workers living in the area. Worth the admission

My boyfriend and I stopped by today and were thrilled with a guided tour of the exhibits (included with your admission), then spent some time taking pictures of the beautifully restored airplanes we just learned about. This museum not only displays these planes, they also refurbish them back to flying condition, and paint them the color they were at the time of their last military command. A LOT of love is poured into these historically accurate pieces, and they have MANY from every era. They have three currently undergoing restoration and a few others (foreign aircraft) they plan to restore for display and flight once they complete the American ones. It is a wonderful museum for everyone of all ages, especially anyone who enjoys planes and history. I highly recommend visiting.

If you like aircraft, this is a must see. The docents were excellent. I encountered a rotation of three different gentleman. One had worked with NASA and another was an aviator for the Coast Guard and a third who started the introduction in the main building. They were all great. Really happy I took the time to drive down and see the exhibits. The aircraft were from all eras including some helicopters. I even had the opportunity to see where they were restoring several planes. The guys took the time to explain a number of technical aspects about many of the aircraft that I had not known. I spent about 2 or 2 1/2 hours. Very well worth the visit. I will be back this next year. I was there between 12pm and 3pm. Thanks!

What a great place! The collection of aircraft is impressive. We were fortunate enough that a kind guide gave us a personal tour! It was very informative. I would highly recommend this museum as a must see if in the area. I will definitely be coming back

A large and surprisingly hands-on collection of mostly military aircraft, primarily displayed in two hangars but with some outside. Small collection of other artifacts as well. Docents and guides available to answer questions.

We stopped here on a whim and are glad we did. This museum houses several military aircraft that have been restored. Each has a placard showing its history. You can walk right up and look in the cockpits, engines and unde rd bellies, we have visited several military museums and have never been able to get this close to fighter jets.

What a great place to visit, we had our own tour guide taking us around.

There is so many planes to look at, you even get to see inside the restoration hanger.

Both of the two buildings with war time displays are amazing, so much to look at.

Well worth a visit

I have dreamed of seeing the Thunderbirds since I was a child. I had a poster with signatures from some of the pilots on my wall 30 years ago. My wife got me tickets for Valentine's Day this year and we took the weekend to go see the show. The Thunderbirds are worth the trip alone, but there is also a good selection of other flying shows that were pretty exciting. All in all, make the trip! The museum is closed during the airshow, which was disappointing, but understandable. Maybe we'll get there earlier next time!

To start, the museum was easy to find, as billboards directed me from the local roads to the parking lot. As for pricing breakdowns, adult admission is $22, seniors/military $20, students (ages 13-18) $10, and children (ages 5-12) $5. The museum is comprised of multiple hangars on the Space Coast Regional Airport border.

As someone interested in military history, I enjoyed my time; I spent over 2 hours here. The museum is rife with photo opportunities, as it boasts at least 25 aircraft (and some ground vehicles too!) spanning from World War II to Vietnam. But beyond aircraft displays, the museum also allows you interior access to a C-123, a cutoff B-52 cockpit, and a decommissioned UH-1 helicopter. There is also a mini-exhibit that pays tribute to Vietnam War veterans that I found to be poignant and pivotal to the experience.

The guides were all extremely friendly and knowledgeable. One guide in particular I would like to mention is Stan Borucki. I learned much through conversing with him about the aircraft on display and his time serving in the military. He also let me know about the museum's special events, which I plan on attending in the near future.

If you're traveling through Florida and want an experience that doesn't entail theme parks, sports, space centers, and beaches, I implore you to pay this museum a visit.

This place was really great and informative. I must admit it wasn’t on my list for things to do on our Florida holiday but we went as my father wanted to go, happy to admit I’m pleased he did as this really was a great experience which I have told everyone about. Our tour guide Chris was extremely knowledgable and friendly. The history at this place is amazing and to go inside the Tico Belle was just unreal. The B52 bomber was also well worth the climb into the cockpit, although if you don’t like small spaces it may not be ideal for some. The admission fee was just over $20 I think but it was worth it to us for a great afternoon.

Would highly recommend paying a visit to this museum and going round with a tour guide.

We really enjoyed our trip here. The guides swapped over at 1pm, so we had two guides - Bruce then Don. Both were very knowledgeable about the planes, interesting and enthusiastic. Don told us some great stories about his time doing research for the USAF. The planes have been impressively well restored. What a great collection. We were also lucky enough to see the vintage Douglas Skytrain taxi and takeoff. We were there for most of the day!

This was a nice military museum. Many restored airplanes. This is also a working museum, meaning there is a shop where planes and other vehicles are restored. A very educational stop.

If you are in Titusville and you are a history buff or interested a little in aircraft this is the place. Located at Dunn Airport/Air park and it is a key sponsor of the yearly held air show held in March of every year. The museum has many aircrafts on display including a F-15 and Mig-15 ... and more. Also has a shop for souvenirs!

The museum is expansive, with 3 hangars and a 4th under construction. It is an active airfield with planes flying around. All the planes are amazingly clean and well cared for. Many are still flightworthy. The guides were just as interesting as the planes. We were shown around by Bruce and Don, both of which had an amazing passion for the planes, and shared some amazing stories. We spent 5 and a half hours being shown around, and there were still exhibits we missed or sped through . We went in the summer, and the hangars can get hot, but the fans helped keep everything bearable. The planes and helicopters are from all different eras, there is truly something for everyone.
10/10 would go back.

We would choose this place over the Kennedy Space Center any day, the place is a gem. The attendants wear blue shirts and put a lot of heart and soul into them. We were lucky that Ron showed us around the place and explained and showed us a lot. It's amazing what kind of planes are there, how close you can get to them, sometimes you can even go inside and they are all still airworthy. A place with a lot of history, a lot of heart and really nice people who take time for you. We enjoyed it so much and would definitely come back here, even if it was just to visit Ron (best wishes from the 2 crowds)

I always enjoy stopping at these museums to see the planes. This Museum did not disappoint at all. They had a nice variety of older planes. Lots of history to look at and learn. Tico Belle was great to see!

There is a big part of the history stored there. Great airplanes among other things. i would love to be there when they have the air show.

Very informative. Our guide Carl was knew everything about each plane. We enjoyed it better than the Kennedy space center (which was very good, pricy but good.)

Such an interesting place - go with a guide to get the best experience and you’ll see how war aviation changed over time. You can even get into a B-52! Our guide Bob was the best! Very cool gift shop.

In the area to visit Kennedy Space Center, we 'stumbled' over this museum. Approximately 50 aircraft of all sorts to be seen and many of them are still flying: extremely well maintained by a dedicated group of people (the majority or probably all of them having served in the US Armed Forces) who seem to devote all their time to keep these planes (a.o. used in World War II) going (and they still fly!).

Small but very rich airplane collection. Our visit was even better because a museum volunteer gave us a guided tour; there were not many written information on the planes, so we would have missed a lot of content.

Stopped by this museum on way to Titusville to watch a rocket launch. The museum was great and so was the docent who guided us thru the restoration hangar. Lots of interesting old historical aircraft. I would go back for sure. Hope the launch don't get scrubbed like it did this time.

Free Guides that have hands on experience with some of these planes! That alone is worth the admission price. We had skipped this on our previous visits, thinking too expensive. Wow, we were wrong--worth every dollar! Many many types of planes--don't miss the Red Baron & Snoopy! Get to sit in a real B52 cockpit, great perspective. We spent hours here, and could have spent longer. Plan to go early, so you wont run out of time. This is a restoration museum, one hanger is devoted to restoration, ask questions, its very interesting to see what is involved in making these planes fly again. Many planes on display are from private persons that keep their planes hangared there. The key is the guides--when you enter, listen and find a group guide immediately. You can roam around the hangars by yourself later, except for the restoration hangar--its dangerous with equipment and tools, need a guide for that hangar. The guides give personal stories and information that is great to hear. Don was our guide---amazing, interesting, we did not get bored listening. Also, he welcomed questions! Free parking, and picnic tables outside. There was food offered for sale inside, fun gift shop! We brought lunch, sat outside and saw an armadillo! On the way to Kennedy space center, but would recommend NOT combining the two in one day.

On my way to the Kennedy space center I literally stumbled upon this amazing museum! Since I was a little kid, my mind wander about military aircraft of any sort. This is a place for all ages. Kid and adults will delight on military planes and it's history, with the guided tours, everyone will be amazed with those little secrets about many of the pieces which are, in pretty much all cases, veterans of any conflict of the period. Carefully manteined and, in some cases, fully restored, some of these pieces will bring the history buff in you to the brink of tears!! The staff are comprised of the real mechanics and technicians that had volunteered hundreds if not thousands of hours into the restoration of some of the planes. My tour took about 3 hours, which I completely enjoyed, but you can tour solo if so you which because time constrains or small kids are with you. For a small fee, you can be so close to history and feel proud of sharing some factoids on your next dinner talk, believe me!

What a great museum to see all types of military aircraft. Was able to get in on a free tour with a very knowledgeable gentleman that was great and very interesting. Some of the aircraft they have there are still flyable and they do fly them on occasion. Great place to spend a couple hours.

We visited on a Saturday when they had breakfast included. TOTALLY WORTH GOING TO! We had “Jim” walk around with us. He was fantastic and full of knowledge.

What a superb museum and with such wonderful people in attendance - a true pleased to meet Cecil who guided us.
We saw an incredible and large selection of warbirds - awesome.
Well worth a visit - a great and educational three hours.

I went up in one of their Texans and sprung for the video as well as the acrobatics. Basically, they show you and then you do each maneuver. They have cameras on the wing, tail, and in the cockpit and they edit it so that all the communication gets mixed in. We did a pseudo-carrier landing which was a total thrill dropping 500 feet in a 360 degree turn and leveling out just in time to touch down. It was fantastic. I was at the stick while taxiing, flying out, half the acrobatics, and flying back. No, I didn't land. There was even a photo of me flying inverted where the instructor ducked down so it looked like I was flying solo upside down. I'm smiling again just thinking about it and that was a couple years ago.

So much to see. Give yourself plenty of time to see everything. Guide was very informative. Enjoyed it. A little pricey.

We went not knowing really what to expect. We were in the area for a night and saw they had a SBD Dauntless, which my son has wanted to see. It’s his favorite war plane. So, we went. After three hour in the museum, we left wanting to experience more but didn’t have the time. We loved this place! They have a lot to view, both planes and memorabilia alike. They have plenty of very knowledgeable staff walking around to answer questions, or even provide a private tour free of charge. We will be back.

The good people at this museum are doing a great work restoring and maintaining historic, antique aircraft for posterity, and some are still in use -- the Tico Bell (built in 1949) took relief supplies to the Bahamas last week! -- but it really isn't a great time for kids (like the Naval Air Museum in Pensacola).

I don't begrudge them the $20 per adult entrance fee because funding seems to be an issue -- the small museum isn't maintained by the Navy like the Pensacola museum. They have donation boxes for certain projects in several places throughout the museum, and the guide indicated that they had to prioritize projects, forcing some to the back burner due to budget constraints. (We found a $2 off coupon in our hotel).

There were a few propeller-driven planes but the emphasis seems to be on the evolution of the jet. It includes a few non-US planes for comparison.

Our tour guide was an amazing wealth of knowledge...just more than our 5 year old could handle. Yes, there were a few hands-on opportunities (we all climbed aboard the belly of one Korean War jump plane for parachutists and could touch the actual controls in the cockpit of one partial plane, plus the kids got inside 2 more and could ride a plane-shaped peddle car), but he was whining 20 minutes into our 2+ hour tour.

This museum would be great for history buffs and airplane enthusiasts who want to get up close to photograph or touch the exhibits.

You will see and be very up close and personal to historic aircraft and militaria. What is super about this place is the high end restorations that they do here.

There is a gift shop that is well stocked.

My son and I visited this place as part of a trip to the Space Coast. It doesn't look very big from the front, but don't let that fool you; there is a lot of interesting stuff here! I was very pleased to see many of the aircraft were still airworthy and in excellent condition, including a B-25 and the C-47 Tico Belle. There is also a second hanger with Vietnam era aircraft which should not be missed - lots of stuff in there I had never seen before. If you are accompanied by staff you can also visit the restoration area where they are actively restoring several more aircraft. Our guide was very helpful and knowledgeable. A must see if you love aviation!

Like most people going to Cape Canaveral, we had been past this museum several times, but this time being at a loose end, we decided to visit. We were greeted by a very nice lady who sold us our tickets and explained how the museum was arranged. Once we went into the first hanger we were introduced to our guide, who was excellent. (The tour was included in the admission price. You can look round by yourself, but to access some of the hangers where they are doing maintenance work on the aircraft, visitors need to be escorted). She was young but was very knowledgeable and had actually been allowed to fly some of the aircraft on show. There were helicopters and planes from the Korean and Vietnam wars as well as both world wars, including a replica of the Red Baron's plane, and also a RFC plane from world war one. Though obviously dominated by US aircraft, they also had some UK military aircraft on display. It was lovely to be able to get up close to such machines and even go inside.
The museum is run by volunteers, who also do a lot of the aircraft maintenance, so all the admission money goes back to the museum.
It's not a huge place but we spent a good couple of hours there. I'm not really into planes, and was worried that it would be boring, but I really enjoyed my visit and would really recommend a visit there, especially as you actually pass it on the way to NASA.

This is a must see, especially if you are in the are to visit Cape Canaveral, the people are so knowledgeable and friendly and takes time to answer questions and explain a lot, loved it and hope to go back one day!

There is someone there to walk you thru everything. I enjoyed sitting in a b-52 bomber cockpit. It is getting refurbished. really neat. All kinds of planes there.

Really interesting range of exhibits including many rarities or even uniques!
Highly knowledgable and interesting tour guide, very personable.
Also you need a tour guide for the restoration hanger and the B-52 cockpit!
Book an extra 1/2 day to visit before or after the KSC to see the Air in Air and Space.

We went to check out this museum.

They have a very friendly and helpful staff, all volunteers.

They do restoration on sight!

Very interesting and informative diplays.

Amazing that they still fly some of these old "war birds"

Alot of history to see here

We would recommend a stop and visit

We spent more than 3 hours looking at such a wonderfull display of airplanes and memorabilia. The museum has its own restaurantion hangar and a great variaty and airplanes that are still in use. Bill Parker was our guide, thanks for sharing your passions with us! We hope to come back soon to see the news.

Great place to visit with plane mad young children. Plenty of different planes to see and the fact it was quiet when we visited, meant it was a pleasure to be able to walk around unstressed. All the staff we encountered were friendly and helpful, especially the lady at the reception/shop. In addition to the planes, we also liked the moving memorial to the Vietnam war. Off the beaten track, but well worth a visit if you are interested in planes.

Great museum. I have four kids from the ages of 2-10 and they all had a great time, granted the two year old was a handful. you will enjoy the wealth of history here and the knowledge of the tour guides. Make sure you get a tour guide they dont cost any extra and you will miss out if you just walk around and look.

We thoroughly enjoyed our Valiant Air Command Warbird Museum tour. They have over 50 warbirds. Our tour guide, Michael, was super knowledgeable. I'd recommend getting a docent tour. Definitely worthwhile to visit! This was a prefect activity for a rainy day.

Good if you like aviation history. A nice assortment of memorabilia as well as various aircraft. The gift shop has some hard to find models.

What an amazing place to visit!
The staff were very helpful and knowledgeable.
It’s all run by volunteers and the quality of restoration is outstanding

Learned a great deal about air power during WW II, Korea, Vietnam and later. 47 original or restored planes of all sizes and types are located in three hangars. You walk, either with a volunteer guide or on your own all through and around these planes. Besides the planes there are numerous display cabinets with thousands of artifacts, write-ups and pictures. I could have spent all day. Wonderful gift shop as well. Entrance fee a bit pricey, but considering the up-keep and maintenance of three large hangars, not to mention the work on the planes and displays, it is well worth it.

Liked the in depth information about the aircraft and the history involved. Liked being able to get into the cockpit and other areas of a B52. Blown away by how fast the newer aircraft can go. My wife & I enjoyed the museum and the aircraft presented.

It is a very nice war bird museum, run by volunteers who do all the work. They are very enthusiastic about it and tell a lot over the museum. You can walk alone around there if you want, or just ask anything you want to know.These people are good ones who tell all about the history about planes and things they have there. Good they are still there.

Much more than we expected! The planes and the history behind some of the planes was so interesting. We had a tour guide that gave us our own tour! I think his name was Jerry. So informative! Planned on spending an hour or so, I think we were there about 4 hours. Great info and historical stories. Would love to return for an airshow sometime.

We went for the Air Show featuring the Thunderbirds, we enjoyed the show very much, but the Museum was closed for that event.

This is a great museum, it is on the way to the Kennedy Space Centre - its worth taking time out and visiting it.

It is spectacular - the collection of planes is brilliant

Especially for kids, you can walk right up close to the exhibits, go inside some of them its brilliant - you can even organise a champagne trip on a dakota plane 45 mins for US$ 200 - well worth it

Most of you will drive past it going to the space centre call in

I drove past the signs for the Warbird Musem some 6 weeks ago when I was in Florida on flying visit en route to JFK Space Centre.
I decided that I should visit the Valiant War bird Museum but ran out of time during my last visit.
Unexpectedly being back in Titusville on 4 day trip from the UK this week I decided that my first port of call in my down time would be to The War Birds Museum.
Turned up on Tuesday mid morning and the car park was pretty full. Entered the Museum through the well stocked shop, seemed to be sale time during my visit with plenty of flight related merchandise for all ages from models, badge patches to clothing and all things in between. Literally I would say something for everyone and if you got kiddies of all ages be prepared to spend or hurry em through once you paid your admission. So I paid my $18.00 senior rate and wandered around the first display hall which consisted of artefact and such including pictures medals uniforms and all sorts from mostly American conflicts and although some interesting Jap and Rusky stuff as well as a small representation from Britain RAF my own Country.
I then made my way into the main hanger where the collection on display of restored craft was really spectacular. And too much to photograph, although I did my best. Initially I saw a few small groups being accompanied by the volunteer tour guides. I drifted around on my own taking snaps and just looking in awe at the aircraft of all varieties on display.,
For me the star at this point was the Dakota that was used during D Day and beyond. As I was near her I asked if it would be OK for me to tag along with 4 folk who where being shown around by volunteer Curt. I was welcomed and thoroughly enjoyed the informative input from Curt and in the end he ended up showing me around as the other folk had seen what they wanted.
He showed me around explaining in detail the personal histories of the aircraft on display and we even went inside the Dakota and it was amazing what this aircraft had gone through during its life time. What I found really interesting was the under wing stripes which apparently where used by all Allied aircraft involved in the D Day invasion to ensure easy identification by Allied ground forces etc to ensure no friendly fire.
After this Curt took me over to the B52 nose and explained all about this the missions that these aircraft where capable of and the plans for the future of the craft in modified state which could see it operational until 2040.
As we excited the B52 Curt said his farewells and pointed out the Canberra to me outside the hanger but enthusiastic as ever he also filled my in on Operation Robin that this aircraft was used for. Look it up on the net its a great story of flying high over Russia undetected.
To Curt thanks a bundle for your enthusiasm and you are an absolute star ambassador for the Museum. As an aside you and your Wife have a brilliant time on the Rhine and Mosel in June.
On your River Cruise.
After Curts departure I looked around the remainder of the Museum including the display adjacent to the B52 which featured many exhibits and aircraft from one particular Family. Obviously very proud Americans.
The music playing in the background was eerie and thought provoking and brought the period to life.
A stroll across to the restoration hanger and a final look in the main exhibit entrance hall and my visit was done.
An excellent few hours spent and the icing on the cake was Curt showing me around and bringing the displays to life. Awesome chap, and thanks a bunch.

We fully agree with the other reviewers that this is a terrific selection of WWll through Vietnam era planes and helicopters. They are beautifully restored and some fascinating history is provided by the signs and willing volunteer guides. The location near the Space Center is the only reason we happened to stop. The price is low and this museum is worth much more. Highly recommend for those who love these old planes and history!

My husband loves museums and had to check this one out; he got more than he bargained for! Lots of old military planes that are in great condition, but you could walk right up to them. No ropes around them keeping you 10ft back, only stipulation is to not touch them. They also have an opportunity to fly one of these planes!!! The museum has 2 T6 Texans that they have available for almost anyone to go up and fly with an instructor. It's a once in a lifetime experience and my husband couldn't stop talking about it for days! Great time!!!

We had a great time visiting the museum recently with family and friends. All individuals working there were friendly and knowledgeable. Everyone enjoyed browsing through all the military artifacts on display. The array of military aircraft was especially noteworthy. Of course seeing the Tico Belle aircraft that participated in the D-Day invasion was awesome in itself. Highly recommend this museum to all those interested in military history. A great day for young and old!

Plane & simple (see what I did there?) our expectations were exceeded! While our oldest was at KSC space camp we wanted to take little brother somewhere fun. Pulling up to the Warbird Museum it may not look like much, but do yourself a favor and buy a ticket and walk on in - WOW! I expected just one room with some memorabilia - not multiple hangars with TONS of aircraft.

While the tour got a bit lengthy for our 4 year old, the docent who guided us around was SO knowledgeable and passionate!!! He touched on every aircraft and we were able to get into several.

You do not have to be an aviation geek to nerd out here - it is an awesome facility with TONS to see.

I do not say this often, but this is a MUST if in the area!

We had a very good tour of the whole museum with one of the volunteers, it was all very interesting, lots of aircraft and very informative. well worth a visit and we hope they do another airshow soon. Stay safe

Had the pleasure of visiting this beautiful warplanes museum. A small museum that has many war planes, several volunteers that spend the time to talk to you. I had a great time and it is close to the Kennedy Space Center.

Museum has photos, artifacts, and planes...lots and lots of planes! They are actually restoring many on site and the day I went there were experts on site to answer any questions. 2 of the planes were available to go into and the docent giving the tour was very knowledgeable. If you're even remotely interested in history you should visit.
Everything is labeled with lots of details.

Friendly and knowledgeable staff with many planes to see. There was a Ford Tri-Motor flying customers when we were there. Several people from our group rode that piece of history.

Again I got my wife to a plane museum and it was the Docent ( Dale Gray) again who captivated her! What a wonderful set up! Started back in 1977 they all deserve a medal for their dedication & hard work, their motto " To Honor the Past, Educate the Future and Preserve Our Heritage", stirling words and I believe they have done just that. Dale , a Viet Nam Phantom F-4 fighter pilot took our small group around and regaled us with many stories & anecdotes. The tour is included in your ticket price which at $16 for seniors/military is a bargain and made the visit. I had seen every plane on display there before apart from the ME-208 Messerschmitt which starred in Von Ryan's Express! The scope of planes & memorabilia on display is amazing and is highly recommended by Moi !! At the end after crawling thru the crew cabin of a B-52 Dale introduced us to other Docents awaiting some punters. Had the pleasure of meeting some great men who volunteer their time still, one being the pilot who scored the second air victory of the Viet Nam War, a calm & cool character for sure and living history people!

Great tour, aircraft from several war errors, all explained. Excellent tour guide and very knowledgeable.

We went and spent the whole day inside and outside. The old planes were very interesting and then we went inside to watch a short movie and see all the artifacts from wars from years past

We saw this on route to NASA and thought it would be worth a visit, and yes it most definitely was.
Jim our guide was very informative knew what he was talking about. (Tour lasted just over 2hours.)
He gave loads of information regarding the planes and helicopters that ranged from WW1 through to the Vietnam war.
He showed us the restoration hanger and we got the chance to have a look inside the B52 cockpit that was currently under renovation.
All guides and the guys who work on the aircrafts are volunteers and take massive pride in the work that they do there.
Small gift shop selling small memorabilia items to replica flight jackets

Was lucky enough to catch this tears Warbird show. The Thunderbirds were breathtaking. As were all stunt fliers. The array of planes was very enjoyable. You can walk around and see them all. Some you can even get inside. Helicopter rides were available but we didn't take one. Air Force had a simulator booth set up that was very fun.

Rick and I decided to check out this museum off route 1. Our one and only problem was the lack of signage once we got nearby. Once we found the Museum everything was great. We were greeted as soon as we walked in the door by a Docent, and directed into the gift shop. We paid, looked around, then walked into the first part of the Museum, and then met Docent Dale. Dale offered to walk with us, best decision we made all day. Rick and Dale spent our tour talking, a lot. The Museum has an amazing collection of aircraft from WWI through modern time. We saw the reconstruction bay, where they do miracles, plus the final results. This place has a huge historical collection. Well worth the time. Thanks to Dale for his tour and friendly banter. The only thing missing was an image of the OH-6 Rick flew in Vietnam.

What a pleasant surprise. The volunteer docents are super friendly and knowledgable. Our teens sure enjoyed the place, we spent a couple hours here. You get to sit in the cockpit of a C-47 that actually flew during the Normandy invasion. Also the kiddoes, can get up into the cockpit of a B-52! Lots of displays and planes and memorbilia. Great Job folks.

We weren't sure what to expect, but were pleasantly surprised by the amount of artifacts on display at this intimate little museum. We live relatively close to the Air Force Museum in Ohio and have visited there frequently, so our expectations were that this place couldn't possibly match up. Although not as extensive as Wright Patt, the Warbird Museum has a lot of depth in their collection and there are MANY working (airworthy) aircraft on display. The self-guided tour enables a lot of time to explore each of the hangars, and the staff have done a great job with the displays of non-aircraft artifacts. You can really tell that staff members take a lot of pride in this collection (as they should) and it's a great opportunity to get up close and personal with the aircraft and even see what is involved in the restoration process firsthand. We happened to be back in the Titusville area during the Air Show in March and it was impressive for a small venue. Definitely worth the time and effort when you are in the area!

This is a fascinating museum that is worth all the minutes you can dedicate to it. Spent an afternoon here learning all about planes from WWI to the current era.

Great static displays and tour guide was fantastic. Had first hand knowledge of a lot of the aircraft displayed and a general wealth of information.

It was incredible seeing all the aircraft in the hangars! The people working there also flew an aircraft and it was a spectacular show!

If this review is useful, please give me a "helpful" vote.

1. Bottom Line Up Front. As a retired Marine Corps Infantry Officer and history enthusiast, I have had the privilege of visiting quite a few museums of this type across the United States so my expectations are typically very high; I was not disappointed – this is an extremely nice museum.

10.k. Douglas A-4 Skyhawk single jet engine light ground attack aircraft; U.S. Navy & Marine Corps; 1956-1998. This is one of my favorite aircraft; it is very small, sleek and has a striking appearance. This type of aircraft was operated by at least seven other nations. The museum has three.

10.l. Chance-Vought F-8K Crusader single jet engine air superiority fighter; US Navy & US Marine Corps; 1957-1976. A photo-reconnaissance version of this aircraft provided the imagery that alerted the US of the Soviet missile buildup in Cuba – leading to the Cuban Missile Crisis.

10.s. Lockheed-Martin F-16A; single engine jet multi-role fighter; USAF; 1978-present.

10.t. There are approximately 12 other aircraft that I have not listed here.

11. Handicap access. I am not handicapped but understand that this can affect someone's decision whether or not to visit a site/attraction. Visitors who are wheelchair-bound or have difficulty walking can access the museum with little difficulty. All of the displays are on the
ground level.

12. Child friendliness. This attraction is child friendly.
12.a. I do not have children and on the day of my visit, there were approximately 4 children (with their parents).
12.b. I would remind parents and teachers (of school groups) that this is a museum and not a playground – and that loud & un-restrained actions detract from the enjoyment of others.

13. Amenities/creature comforts. Food & drinks are not permitted in the areas of the museum that contain exhibits.
13.a. Restrooms. There are restrooms in hangar #1 and hangar #2.

14. Gift shop. There is a medium-size gift shop inside the museum; they carry a fairly large selection of items oriented towards adults and children (t-shirts, ball caps, coffee mugs, scale models, toys, etc.)

15. Related attractions – nearby

15.a. Armed Forces History Museum Largo, Florida - vicinity of Tampa (150 miles / 2 hours 45 minutes west). This is a very nicely done medium-size museum with several life-size dioramas.

15.b. Camp Blanding Military museum Starke, Florida – southwest of Jacksonville (145 miles / 2 hours 45 minutes north). This museum is primarily dedicated to the role Camp Blanding played in mobilizing troops during World War II. They have some very nice examples of US, German and Japanese weapons; and vehicle and aircraft outdoors. Of note, the outdoor exhibits have been outside for quite a while and are not in pristine condition. It is not necessary to enter the military installation to visit this attraction.

16. Related/similar attractions that I can personally recommend (from north to south and west).

16.a. National Museum of the Marine Corps Quantico, Virginia (south of Washington D.C.) This museum is not aboard the USMC installation and requires no special permission/pass to enter. This is a FREE, very large professionally curated museum that chronicles the history of the Marine Corps from the Revolutionary War to the Global War on Terrorism.

16.b. Military Aviation museum Virginia Beach, Virginia. As near as I recall, they have approximately fifty aircraft from World War I and World War II; I believe most of the WW I aircraft are reproductions and most of the WW ll aircraft are authentic. Of special note, they have a PBY Catalina – a very beautifully designed flying boat. All are stored indoors and are in beautiful condition – I believe most are in flying condition. The aircraft on display here may vary from month to month – I believe all of the aircraft are privately-owned and subject to being removed for airshows at other locations.

16.c. Patriots Point Naval & Maritime museum Mount Pleasant, South Carolina (near Charleston). There are three US Navy vessels here: USS Yorktown - aircraft carrier; USS Laffey – destroyer; USS Clamagore – submarine. They have several pristine World War II aircraft in the hangar deck indoors and approximately 12 1950s-1980s aircraft on the flight deck outdoors.

16.d. National Naval Aviation Museum Pensacola, Florida. This is a very large indoor FREE museum full of beautifully restored Navy/Marine Corps aircraft (approximately 75). The museum is aboard the Naval base but very easy to access.

16.e. National Infantry museum Columbus, Georgia. This museum is located aboard the Fort Benning U.S. Army installation but there is no requirement to pass through a manned security gate. This is a FREE, very large, professionally curated museum. It chronicles the history of the US Army Infantry from the Revolutionary War to the current Global war on Terrorism.

16.f. Mississippi Armed Forces Museum Camp Shelby, Mississippi (military installation south of Hattiesburg). This is an extremely nice medium-size museum that has a great deal of weapons, uniforms, equipment and full-size dioramas (to include tanks, jeeps, etc) indoors quite a few (approximately 20) tanks, artillery pieces and aircraft outdoors. This attraction is aboard the Camp Shelby U.S. Army installation but entry requirements to the installation are minimal; I recommend telephoning the museum prior to confirm requirements. This museum went through a renovation circa 2015/2016.

16.g. National World War II museum New Orleans, Louisiana. This is a very large, world-class museum with quite a few interactive exhibits. Of note, they have several World War II aircraft suspended from ceiling in an indoor pavilion.

This FREE museum has some indoor displays and approximately 16 aircraft (World War II – Vietnam War). Of special note, they have an SR-71. There is a requirement to show a government-issued identification to enter the installation.

16.i. Cavanaugh Aviation museum Addison, Texas (near Dallas). This museum has approximately 35 aircraft (from World War I to the Vietnam War/Cold War). Most of the aircraft are indoors and in pristine condition; only a few (approximately 6) are outdoors. Of special note, they have an OV-1 Mohawk – this is the only one I have ever seen on display.

16.j. Fort Worth Aviation museum Fort Worth, Texas. This museum has approximately twenty aircraft – all are outdoors and in very nice condition. Most of the aircraft are freshly painted. The indoor portions of the museum are primarily dedicated to the aviation industry in Fort Worth and to the mission of the OV-10 Bronco aircraft. Of note, they have two very nice OV-10s; these are very unique aircraft.

16.k. Lone Star Flight museum Galveston, Texas. This museum contains approximately twenty pristine aircraft – all indoors and many in flying condition. Of note, they have the following aircraft that are a few of my favorites: A-1D Skyraider; B-17 Flying Fortress; B-25 Mitchell and a German ME-262.

My father saw this in an add in a travel magazine and was excited to see all of the historic planes and memorabilia. It was well worth the drive to Titusville. We had an incredible guide named Jeremiah who patiently took us through the entire exhibit, filling us with tidbits of facts and other war lore about each plane and its history. I highly recommend this for history bluffs and aeronautical enthusiasts alike.
