    Great Museum of Military Aircraft
    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.

    Amazing warbird collection near KSC
    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.

    Great time!
    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!

    Definitely worth your time
    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.

    Awesome planes, most in great shape, some very rare ones also
    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.

    A fun and fascinating learning experience
    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.

    Must see as airplane enthusiast!
    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!

    Plethora of Planes
    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.

    Neat place to visit!
    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!

    Great place to visit
    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

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.

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!

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!

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 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 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.

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.

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.

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!
