A huge thanks to Chuck Watson for the wonderful tour. I was amazed at how many airplanes were on display. The museum was very interesting!
show history of different types of aircrafts and the history has a flight simulator and a small gift shop. Is 2 hangers of aircrafts and a spy plane out side . if it is a cold day dress warm it can be quiet chilli.

My only visit here was several years ago, when my parents dragged me here against my will on a cold, windy day and I didn't have a hat or gloves. I'm simply not interested in aviation history (especially when I'm freezing). If you're really into planes and all that, this place is probably worth four or five stars.
AWESOME place to go look around. Bring the whole family. Lots of cool history to be seen!
Informal atmosphere. You get close enough to the planes that you can touch them. I highly recommend COMBAT AIR MUSEUM.
Aircraft were largely unpainted and not maintained. Not very many to look at. There were a few cool ones
Excellent museum to enjoy and bring your kids out for a few hours. I'm an Air force brat. My boys and I loved every min, it.

Vast collection of combat aircraft in great shape, and you can get up close / inside some. It's clear the staff and volunteers work hard restoring and caring for the collection. There is plenty to learn or just wonder through. A couple areas do not have AC/Heat, but some areas do.
Absolutely loved the visit and seeing all the war birds,, looking at all the old radials on engine stands, especially the "wasp",, the only better would have been to listen to one start up, has to be one of the best sounds left in the world.
Every volunteer we met was dedicated and helpful,, maybe ya'll can come up with a corsair one day also.
Great place! Very informative! Employees were very pleasant! Inexpensive!
Really interesting place, $6 entrance, worth it. You get to climb into some planes and see engines. I liked it.
Not real happy about having to pay full price simply because I'm retired military not active. Left me feeling a little bit rejected and despondent about my service. Lots of military items that I have personally had experience with and could have provided a wealth of information.
Honor???? It feels more like you respect me as much as someone who has never served a day. But I guess you get so many retired military that you want that 2$. Its a small amount, its more about how dissrepected and dismissed I was treated.

Our Boy Scout troop had a great time and learned so much.
Great little muesem. Always a treat come see. The volunteers are great. Very warm and friendly place.
This museum is not like one you have experienced before. This museum allows you to get right up to the actual aircraft and into some of them. If you are a fan of aircraft, this museum is a must. There is no AC however, so a summer tour might be a bit uncomfortable. The staff was more than helpful and kind. I would highly, highly recommend making a trip up to Topeka to take a look at this museum. It's really impressive what they have accomplished with a staff of volunteers.
One of the best aircraft and military museums in the midwest. This museums boasts many aircraft from every era and does a wonderful job displaying exhibits, memorabilia and aircraft. The number of aircraft at the Combat Air Museum in very impressive considering the location and is on par with many of the museums I've visited on the west coast.
I have visited this museum many times and will continue to do so as there are often new things added and new aspects to discover. Take note that this museum is located near an active airport and is inside WW2 style aircraft hangars which hearken back to the days of golden aviation and gives you the feel of what it was like back then. Great place to visit!
