This place was cool because it sits right next to a real air force base, the static displays are awesome and the museum takes you back in time to a very scary moment in time. Not a large museum but lots to see and touch. Well worth the time

Me and my friends visited the museum while on a road trip from Canada, and we were pretty impressed, since something like that is not available on display in Canada. We took lots of pictures, learned a lot of new things from the indoor exhibits! If you have 30-40 minutes - stop by and snap a few photos with some... More

Grew up nearby as a kid with B-52s (BUFFs) making practice flights over our ranch, now replaced by B-1Bs. Minuteman missile site 1/4 mi. from the house. Uncle trained on B-17s here in WWII never to return (shot down over the North Sea). Have worked with many different types of military aircraft in my Army service, but was always jealous... More

We were looking for a quick sight to stop at to stretch our legs that wasn't overly commercialized. This fit the bill perfectly. My husband enjoyed all the aircraft. I enjoyed the display on the use of satellite imagery during natural disasters. Our 8 year old loved sitting in a cockpit of a fighter plane.

This is a completely free location that has 30 different aircraft on display and the opportunity to travel down into a cold war era missile silo. The museum has undergone some serious renovations in the last few years.

If you want to know what a Cold War missile silo looked like, this is the place to find out. Situated outside of Ellsworth AFB, it has awesome static displays outside, and extremely interesting exhibits inside.

This is the only Air & Space Museum we have visited that let you drive in and around. An impressive B-1 Lancer centers the exhibit. Among their other collections, you can find few other bombers, several fighters and some cargos. It is worth the stopping by.

This is a very nice air and space museum, convenient to the interstate, just east of Rapid City. Free admission which includes a good indoor museum that explains extensive local aviation history and explains the Minuteman missile system (I recommend combining this visit with Minuteman National Historic Site near Wall, SD). Excellent static aircraft display outside, so best to visit... More

Though not as large as other mueums I've visited, the South Dakota Air & Space Museum has a nice selection of historical aircraft including the B-25J used by General Dwight Eisenhower as a personal transport during WWII. Located at the entrance to Ellsworth Air Force Base, the museum offers a tour of Ellsworth and its sole remaining missile silo. Ellsworth... More
