Museum Price: FREE!
Hours: 9:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m.
Travel Time from Lexington, Ky: 3 hours
The museum is roughly 3 hours from Lexington, KY. It is easily found from the interstate (follow the signs). I would recommend picking up a brochure from any rest stop on the way. The directions on the brochure are easier to follow than what is given in Google Maps.
The museum spans the history of flight from the early years of the Wright Brothers to the Stealth bomber. To see all of the 400+ aerospace vehicles and the 1000’s of exhibits, you will need two days (at least).
The museum is very large, be prepared to walk. For those with mobility problems, they have scooters for rent. If you are unable to walk long distances, I recommend renting one. For those who will be walking, there are plenty of benches to rest as you tour the museum.
The museum had something of interest for each member our group. Our group for this trip consisted of two adults (30ish & 50ish), one senior (60ish), one child (8) and one teen (12).
