What families say
Families rave about the aircraft collection here, especially the SR-71 Blackbird, and say it's well worth 2-3 hours (possibly more if you eat at the on-site restaurant, which reviewers liked despite the higher prices). Kids enjoy the flight simulator (a few extra dollars) and there's a gift shop and WWII/Vietnam-era exhibits, though one reviewer felt the placards explaining the aircraft and SAC's history were sparse and hard to read in dim lighting. Overall a strong pick for aviation-loving kids of various ages, just don't expect deep written context on every plane.
