frontiers of flight museum

I went here for a charity event it is such a nice place. I would recommend it to anyone who likes airplanes. There is also lots of history stuff for the kiddos to learn and enjoy

Spent a little time here with my 13 year old son and found a couple very interesting exhibits, especially the POW experience. They had a good bit of information but some of it just seemed dated. The docents were very nice and helpful. It was not a bad way to spend an hour or so out of some Texas midday sun.

The museum is certainly not very big or fancy, but they have a decent setup with some interesting artifacts and airplanes. Even some space related stuff, like a space suit you can actually touch and a Apollo capsule. They have a selection of "first days of flight" planes and then a few rare planes, helicopters and missiles from more modern days (but nothing from the 21st century though). Even a few flight simulators. My biggest disappointment was really that I could not get in in any of the planes or helicopters; I really think what would make this little museum outstanding would be to allow kids (and no so kids) get "on board". Under supervision if necessary.What I also think was pretty cool are the exhibits related to commercial flight (Braniff, Southwest). For the ones that only has heard of the golden days of passenger flight it makes you wanna trash AA and United immediately. You see the pictures of the stewardesses (flight attendants?) and their outfit and wonder what happened. Finally I do recommend the place for people with family but not especially flight freaks. The kids had fun, but I would think that people really into planes would feel the museum too small.

My husband loves everything to do with aviation, so we were thrilled to find this exhibit. We were greeted by 4 elderly volunteers, all anxious to tell us about the museum - their enthusiasm was very sweet. Because of that, I would love to give this place a glowing review ... But, truly I cannot. There are way too many long, and often very technical, descriptions of aviation events - in the old style of museums - look but don't dare touch! The whole place had that kind of 60's feel to it.Won't someone save it?? Kids today like to touch, experience, hear! More interaction needed, fewer glass boxes containing boring descriptions!At the far end were some planes all pushed together making it hard to get a full prospective of them, whilst the middle is totally empty! With some TLC and updating, this museum could be so much more dynamic, and I think those wonderful aviator volunteers deserve better!

Enjoyed my recent visit to the Frontiers of Flight Museum in Dallas. The Museum setting is within a hangar near Love Field. It was fitting to hear the sounds of planes landing/taking off while learning the history of flight, from it's primitive beginnings to space travel and everything in between. So many items on display, very informative, I definitely learned much about flight that I had no idea about. There is a POW exhibit in the museum that is, in my opinion, out of context and not related at all to flight history. For that reason, I rate this attraction 4 rather than 5 stars. All in all, a worthwhile thing to do, highly recommend.

The history of Southwest Airlines is well done, and actually inside of a plane! Also numerous exhibits of Apollo 7. My father would have loved to go here.

If you like looking at old planes and helicopters and a brief history of aviation, this museum is worth a visit. You can walk up pretty close to the planes. Kind of an out of an out of the way museum, but worth visiting. Plan on about 2 hours.

Have lived minutes away for 20 years and this was my first visit. I was shocked at how nice it was and how many interesting and unusual displays there are. I would highly recommend to those of you who have not been, check it out. You can spend an interesting couple of hours there and it's reasonably priced.

I received a great welcome by one of the volunteers who explained the layout and some of the more rare exhibits. All in all it's quite interesting although the number of aircraft on display are limited. That said the information displayed is quite substantial!If I'm to say anything that didn't impress then it would be their gift shop. The saddest and most limited gift shop I've ever seen in an aviation museum. Then again, you don't go for the shop ;-)

Neat air museum. Exhibits and planes were really nice. It had some unusual planes like the Vought V-173 "Flying Pancake". The Southwest Airlines exhibit was especially interesting.

Not the biggest aircraft collection but a great purpose built building with good signage and a very knowledgable staff of veterans who are only too pleased to discuss the exhibits and their exploits in the AirForce. Great for kids and adults of all ages. They don't have a restaurant but don't mind if you use the dining area to eat your own picnic!!!

This is a fun and educational place to go - and the docents are so nice and so full of knowledge about the planes

Good aircraft museum with some vintage aircraft, as well as Vietnam era jets. Has a NASA Apollo capsule, and a trainer for the SR-71. If you are a aircraft enthusiast, its worth the stop.

Frontiers of Flight Museum has several unique exhibits - an SR-71 (Mach 3 spy plane) simulator, Apollo 3-seater capsule (yes, these three astronauts spent over a 100 hours in there, in a space barely larger than pickup truck cab), Flying Pancake experimental aircraft and a T-35 trainer jet that later evolved into F-18 Hornet. But what makes this place really fascinating are the volunteers. Me and my friends were given a tour by a former Navy pilot, who was not just enthusiastic about aviation history, but his enthusiasm was truly contagious, in a good sense. Visit the museum and share passion for flying these men have!

If you have time this is worth taking a few hours out of your busy day to visit. This museum is never crowded the staff is friendly they seem to be constantly updating and improving this location, I'm fortunate to be Dallas based so our Aviation group has held private meetings at this location. They certainly knew how to setup a museum that everyone could enjoy from all walks of life. You do not need to be in the Aerospace Industry to enjoy this museum it's a must stop if your near Love Field Airport DallasMany may not know that the main part of this building was an actual Love Field airport / airfield historic hangar
