The National Air and Space Museum doesn’t just cover extraterrestrial exploration. It covers everything from the early history of flight to the Space Race and moon landings. You’ll see the first plane to take flight as well as the Spirit of St. Louis, the first plane to cross the Atlantic. Discuss Amelia Earhart, the iconic female pilot who famously disappeared while trying to fly around the world. Check out Hubble space suits, and lunar modules while learning all about NASA and the United States’ space program. The two story back ups for the Hubble telescope and the early space station Skylab dominate your field of vision and since the originals stayed in space, this is the best way to get up close and personal! Find out what it's like to be an astronaut today with one of our expert guides – there’s even freeze dried ice cream in the gift shop to get the full experience.

An excellent tour! The guide took the time to highlight the most influential pieces of the exhibits and offered additional history. She encouraged us to stay and visit a few additional exhibits since there was plenty of time.

Our tour guide was Maureen. She was at the meeting point ahead of time and easily locatable which we appreciated. Her love for the National Air & Space Museum was obvious. She was very excited to be able to share her wealth of information. There were several things she pointed out that most people never would have noticed or seen without her experience. She is an excellent communicator and was a lovely person. We recommend her highly.

Very cool museum. We really enjoyed the information shared. We learned a lot. Our guide, Rebecca was very knowledgeable. That’s about space but wanted more on planes - specifically during war time. The museum was under renovations so maybe that’s why not so much about planes. Although the Wright Brother story was very interesting!

Our guide, Rebecca was wonderful, energetic, and very knowledgeable. The thing we did not like is that free tickets seem to be grabbed up by different guide companies forcing me to buy paid guide tour tickets if I wanted to see the Air and Space Museum.
