    Great Museum
    Fantastic museum, well worth a visit if you are in Krakow. Only about 15 minutes from the old town by tram and very reasonable entry fee. There are loads of aircraft, probably 2 to 3 time more than the average aircraft museum. It is mostly Polish built and/or operated aircraft of course but there are many from other nations as well. There are also some unique and very rare planes too.

    my opinion
    This is a great museum with a lot of historic and authentical planes of Poland. They are very old but in good shape. (you know stay fit👍👍). I highly recommend buying tickets even for advance. Great place for avgeeks as there is what to see. The have some events from time to time. There is a small vending machine and a gift show with planes for modelling. Some toys. Magnets. etc.

    Excellent for aircraft buffs
    The museum contains a large number of very interesting planes. There is a hall with a lot of interesting world war 1 biplanes particulary German marks. There are a lot of exhibits from the second world war and some very historic examples in another hall. Outside there are a huge amount of Migs and Sukhois from over 50 years of development. A long line of strange and one off planes from crop dusters to old passenger aircraft. Poland also had a lot of aircraft from other nations which included a lot of aircraft examples i had never seen before. Excellent but actually slightly sad to see these incredible machines being neglected in the outdoors. Shame really as there are some unique examples.

    Trip to the Polish Aviation Museum
    Really excellent museum with a broad range of aircraft covering all eras of aviation. We particularly enjoyed seeing the Mig-29 and the AN-26 and the Mig alley was really something special. Only slight criticism would be the lack of more US Cold War aircraft on display. Definitely worth a visit even if you are not 100% a fully fledged AV geek 😃

    Would recommend
    Really loved this museum. We used the ‘get your guide app’ and bought tickets for just over £5 for all three of us. My teenage son was fascinated with the fighter jets and missiles. The majority of the aircraft are outside so maybe not great to visit on a cold or wet day. The aeroplanes outside are weathered although still very interesting. There are 3 or 4 hangers with better maintained examples and some interactive activities. The museum is only a short tram ride away from the centre and then a 5 minute walk. Would thoroughly recommend!

    Great Experience!
    What a beautiful museum to visit. If I counted well 4 hangars full of beautiful well maintained planes. World War 1 and WOII planes are on display. Outside there is a large number of fighter jets and helicopters, not all in the best of shape but they are there. Take some coins along as the vending machines for coffee only operate the old fashioned way. Easy to get by tram.

    Not to be missed - One of the best Aviation Museums in Europe
    What a wonderful and interesting museum. Spent over 4 hours leisurely looking at the various exhibits and could easily have spent longer had it not been -1 and snowing! A huge number on aircraft, helicopters and gliders on display both inside and outside. Good descriptive plates for each plane in both Polish and English. Small gift shop and a self service (vending machines) cafe with a few tables and chairs. Also a big collection of aircraft engines and a number of other bits of military equipment. All for just 27 Polish Zloty (about £5.40 at time of visit). Although outside the city centre it was only an easy 13 minute (5 stop) ride on the number 5 tram from the main station, followed by a short walk of about 500 yards. Would definitely recommend whether an aviation enthusiast like myself or not.

There are aircrafts outside and in the building. The planes on display, both foreign and Polish needs moreTLC and polish to extinguish the notion we got that many airframes have been through neglect.

A huge number on planes on display both inside and outside. Good descriptive plates for each plane. Some special exhibitions for world War war 2, for plane engines and for polish planes.
