Strategic Air Command & Aerospace Museum - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Very nice and interesting aviation museum.

It is a spectacular museum, it contains several types of airplanes, it shows you the history of aviation in the United States, it is worth visiting but you have to take your time because it is big and if you stop at each airplane, time passes.

Awesome Air Force museum. Well worth the tour.

Great place to spend afternoon and gain some knowledge about the air command

It would have been nice if we were offered a tour guide. Overall, it was very interesting. The kids enjoyed it!

Hero Fest was held this year, and there is a plan in place to hold another next year. So make plans to help make bigger and better than this year.

Awesome experience. Planetarium was fantastic. Fabulous music from AmFm with the Hero weekend!

Really a great museum, kids love it as well

Lots of history. Planetarium show was interesting but not comfortable. Small space. I chose to lay on the floor vs craning my neck. This was presented as an option. I recommend to allow at least 3 hours to take it all in.

Spend 3 hours, kids had fun. Visited after 10 years, still exciting.

Great place, great memories of my AF days!

being able to get up close and personnel with many different types of air craft is a really fun and open minded experience. from ww2 to modern day, the hangers are amazing to walk around and learn how it actually was. full metal and all!

Great place for military aviation enthusiasts who are plane nuts. My dad flew many of the planes on exhibit. Fascinating visit.

This museum is incredible. The exhibits are interesting and thought-provoking. The staff is gracious, and the areas are clean and well-kept. Should we have the opportunity in the future, we will definitely be back for another visit.

Went here when I was a kid and loved the place, they have only added onto it since. This makes for a great 3-4 hour excursion, unless you read all the plaques.

We have been to many air force museums. This one is on the smaller side. Still very interesting, had some nice planes.

It was a great experience for the whole family. The simulator is a ton of fun, the gift shop is a bit underwhelming but the museum is fantastic. Walking in you’re greeted by a SR-71 and you instantly know it will be a great experience. The highlight of my trip was the B-36. I have wanted to see a B-36 in person my entire life because my grandfather was a pilot on them. It happens to be parked directly next to the B-52 which is what I was a Crew Chief on. That was a surreal moment for me. There’s a lot for kids to do as well, especially in the space exhibit. The food court was very good and reasonably priced as well. Unfortunately, I didn’t get to see any of the shows but I’ll definitely be back.

Two big hangars full military planes?

A great stop for anyone that likes planes, history, or space. They don't rope everything off so you can get a lot closer to the exhibits, even poking up into the bomb bays. Bigger than expected, with lots of detailed exhibits. Plan for 3 hours, and they have quite a few hands on things for younger children.

Great place to look at military aircraft. Even Gen Lemay's desk. I took an organized tour. The guide provided good insight from his career. There are several benches to rest. Kids and adults enjoy the flight simulator.

Very interesting. Military aviation history. Space travel history.

Amazing place to take children to see the old Air Force flights Museum.

It's like being a kid and hanging model airplanes off your ceiling as a kid, but with real planes.

Fascinating museum if you're into aviation or war history. All the historic bombers are there, along with many other aircraft and intercontinental missiles. Well worth the price of admission. We spent three hours there, and could have easily spent a couple more.

My sister and I took my Dad there in September 2014. It was incredible having the opportunity to see the equipment my Dad worked on in the early 1950’s. What a wonderful place to visit. I would highly recommend it and will get back there again.

I stopped in today and thoroughly enjoyed my visit to this first class facility. I would have had a great time even without a guided tour but was lucky to join a tour Mike P. was doing. Mike made what would have already been a great visit ten times better by sharing a great deal of knowledge. Before any visit, I recommend people call ahead to see if a free tour is available. Thanks for the great tour, Mike, and your decades of service in the Air Force.

2 Seniors, 3 adults, and 3 school ages children.

It was very cool to see the planes and read history..It is worth going...And we met Clay Anderson...Nebraska's astronaut.

Great experience! Had a blast. What a great collection of airplanes. Awesome to get so close!

Superb museum with plenty to use, better save one day to fully explore exhibits, watch movies and play simulator No public transport, make sure you arrange return trip beforehand. I failed two Uber attempts for ride back after museum closed.

Awesome collection of airplanes and artifacts

Wonderful Wonderful Wonderful !!! An AWESOME way to spend a day.Will do it again!!!

Super cool, great displays, lots to learn and see. Full day or multiple trips needed for sure.

Intriguing and set up to entertain all ages, also includes snack bar.

Vintage planes. First time visitors will be impressed

A reminder of what it costs to be free and to protect those yearning to be free

Really great museum showcasing incredible airplanes and artifacts. Nice quality exhibits. Loved having a cafe to get food, which was tasty and not too pricey. Bathrooms were epic. 😄

Nice museum. I've been to the USAF museum in Dayton so I knew this wouldn't be able to match that, but it's laid out nicely and has some very good displays. Really enjoyed and learned much with the Francis Gary Powers exhibit.

The SAC Museum is fantastic. If you are into aircraft, space, history or are just a curious soul this place will keep you and the mildly disinterested engaged for the day. We went on a Wednesday in July and there was never anyone in front of us for anything the whole day.

Best unscheduled stop I've made in a long time! Plan on extra time. Great stop!

If an up-close experience with American Military Avation history sounds like fun to you, the SAC Air Force Museum is a Must See !! Welcoming visitors is an actual B-1 Bomber standing proudly at the entrance - without barriers. Walk right up and touch a piece of history. This treasure of a museum is designed to entertain children and thrill adults. Suspended just inside the entrance is an actual SR-71 Blackbird - the most successful and infamous spy plane ever built. She floats majestically, just mere inches out of reach. No image can compete with witnessing the prowess of the Blackbird in person. Also on display are a missile silo control station, space capsules, a space shuttle flight deck, an atomic bomb, a cruise missile, a few helicopters, an impressive array of historic military planes, and more. Located only one minute from the Interstate, this patriotic and impressive museum is well worth visiting. If you stop for only one attraction in Nebraska, the SAC Air Force Museum should be your destination.

If you love museums you'll love this place, cheap too

Wonderful exhibit. Wonderful resting spots and food was simple but good. We spent 4 hours there and loved it.

Awesome museum! My kids love being able to see the aircraft up close. And I love the education they get. Wonderful place.

It was one of the best airplane exhibitions I have ever been too! Can’t believe how amazing it was. Strongly recommend you go!

They need more space, pretty cool Cold War aircraft

Found ourselves with an afternoon looking for something to do. My daughter chose this. My kids enjoyed it. For me, as an adult, it was neat connecting what I remember seeing on the news as I grew up and history with what was physically in front of me. The displays are descriptive and educational. Very glad we stopped in.

One of the absolute best Aerospace Museums in the world

Many planes on display and very informative. There were many hands-on activities for our 9 year old grandson to try. Cool experience, I recommend checking it out.

I served in the Air Force during the Cold War, mostly in SAC at Offutt, RAF Mildenhall and Torrejon AB Spain. It was great to step back in time and see some of the aircraft I actually worked on and some that I watched take off at Offutt and Mildenhall. I enjoyed being part of SAC and enjoyed seeing aircraft from the past. I recommend that if you are in Omaha you should see the SAC Museum as part of your trip...the Cold War is one of the war's we won! And is being preserved to show everyone the aircraft that were flown before and during the Cold War.

Saw this place on the map as I was heading west with a transport, and decided on my return trip to stop. I was not disappointed. Absolute must stop for war buffs, military buffs, current and veteran military. And especially kids, so many interactive exhibits and activities for kids. Driving in to the lot you are greeted by a B1-B Lancer bomber, Absolutely impressive and amazing. The lot is huge and can accomodate many campers and parking for overnights. Walking into the main entry you are greeted by an actual SR-71 Blackbird, the fastest military jet ever. Absolutely stunning. I loved it. So many awesome plans and plan on spending a couple hours looking around.

Very nice museum and planes, and the instructor Mike was good at giving the tour and explaining the history of each plane. Nice for kids to wear

Great trip to do on the weekend with the family, the snack bar had tasty food and was cheap!

Great museum with so many displays. There were interactive displays and so much to see. The admission is absolutely reasonable to see so much amazing history. There's a small giftshop, café, and even the bathrooms are out of this world. The whole family enjoyed this museum. We did pay a little extra to do a flight simulator. The staff was friendly and the museum was very well taken care of.

Fun place to visit close to Ashland, NE

Wonderful exhibits. Alot of history and stories. Well worth the time and cost to visit.

Always a great place to visit. The flight sim is great!

Loved the exhibition and the flight simulator

Wow. This is a necessary stop for any air and space enthusiast, any history buff, or anyone wanting know more about the history of US combat. Planes are well maintained. Great exhibits that tell a detailed history.

This is so awesome for kids and adults alike. Very reasonably priced admission.

Very interesting to know our history.

Fabulous museum. B36, b29 ,sr71 to name a few.

Absolutely love this place. Always new and interesting displays. Fun events est. I like it so much I became a member.

It's a great museum. Lots of cool planes that instill a sense of awe at the ingenuity of humans. I have fond (and vague) memories of the old boneyard-style museum with a bunch of decaying planes out in the sun with ladders sprinkled around to be able to climb into cockpits. I'm always left with a feeling that something is missing in this "new" (can things from the turn of the century still be called new?) museum. I miss being able to get inside the planes, touch (some) controls, and really be transported into a different world. Maybe I'm just getting old and nostalgic, but this last trip left me pretty depressed by the thought that it took a desire to eradicate other humans on the other side of the globe to enable the kind of teamwork, community, and engineering that gave us these amazing machines. I'm not able to simply enjoy the planes for the marvels that they are without also considering their purpose. I hadn't noticed the incredibly sobering slogans "peace is our mission," and "peace is still our mission" on previous trips. It's kind of Big Brother-esque to claim that peace is the mission of the people with the bombs and guns that could wipe out humanity.

To see these big planes up close is astounding, I would never have imagined the SR-71 to be that big! The displays are well thought out and put together, the facility is amazing, and includes a lot of material kids like and can understand. Even the restrooms are amazing!

Super cool aerospace museum with many special aircraft, spacecraft, and a unique missile exhibit. Definitely worth the visit!

For the Midwest this was a rather good museum.

I'm not overly interested in aviation but they've done such a great job with this museum I even went back the following year. The sheer size of the plains alone is fascinating let alone learning about the history. There is a ton of additional activities for kids if you're looking for a family outing too.

If you're even a bit into history of military planes it's like being a kid an a candy shop. Definitely worth the trek if you're going to be 100 miles of Gretna NE. 😎

This place is great took my son and he had a awesome time! Every single staff in this place is 10 outta 10 with their kindness and all our very very professional! Thank you for the great day! Definitely would recommend hands down a 10 outta 10 ! ❤️💥

**Exploring Aviation History: A Marvelous Experience at the Airplane Museum** Visiting the Airplane Museum was an exhilarating journey through the annals of aviation history. Nestled amidst a serene landscape, the museum offers a breathtaking collection of aircraft that spans decades of innovation and progress in flight technology. Upon entering, I was immediately struck by the sheer magnitude of the exhibits. From the early pioneers of aviation like the Wright brothers to modern marvels of engineering, each aircraft tells a compelling story of human ingenuity and determination. The museum's displays are impeccably curated, providing detailed insights into the evolution of flight through informative placards and interactive exhibits. One of the highlights of my visit was seeing iconic planes up close, such as the legendary Spitfire from World War II and the sleek lines of a Concorde supersonic jet. The meticulous restoration efforts were evident, preserving these historic aircraft in pristine condition for future generations to appreciate. The museum doesn't just focus on airplanes; it also delves into the broader cultural impact of aviation. Exhibits on wartime aviation history, the space race, and pioneering female aviators offered a comprehensive view of how flight has shaped global history and culture. Throughout my visit, the staff's passion for aviation was palpable. Their knowledge and enthusiasm added an extra layer of depth to the experience, as they shared captivating anecdotes and answered questions with infectious enthusiasm. For aviation enthusiasts, history buffs, and families alike, the Airplane Museum is an absolute must-visit. It's a place where the spirit of innovation takes flight, offering a profound appreciation for the triumphs and challenges that have shaped the course of aviation history. Whether you're marveling at a vintage biplane or pondering the future of space exploration, the museum offers a captivating journey through the skies.

Super cool! Lots of cool exhibits and full size aircraft for you to explore. Knocked off one star because it’s not super kid friendly, but that’s okay! Maybe we’ll go back when the little one is older. They did have some exhibits and a play room for the kiddos.

my family spends a lot of time at the museum.. kids are ready for the little planetarium to be open though. saw the closed sign was down last weekend but the entryway was blocked off

Impressive place to visit. Lots of history on this place. It's a place to visit with your family. The gift shop is nice to get some presents, a little expensive but nice place to get something special...

Great museum. Even interesting for a woman.

Well worth making a stop to see this. It is amazing. It touched my heart for all the sacrifices that were made by those who flew these planes. A must visit!

Our family spent the day at the museum ( children ages 7-18) and we really enjoyed our time there. The displays are fantastic and there are so many great interactive things to do and see. The only disappointment was the 9/11 display shoved off to the side and piled upon itself. This was one of the most clear moments of my generations history and I was heartbroken and ashamed to see the display pushed aside and not valued. Other than that it was a really great way to spend a day. We learned so much.

Having served in SAC I was anticipating seeing more of the Minuteman and Titan weapon systems. However the collection of aircraft inside was awesome to behold from the entry level. The contrast in size between the B-52 and it's predecessors with a B-17 was amazing.

I wish they could obtain a D21 for the museum.

A great place to have a car show indoors

Large selection of combat, cargo, utility and various other aircraft. It was awesome to walk around in and I would've spent all day there had I not been driving to Arizona. Admission was around 11.25 for me (I had a military discount, I believe it would've been around 13.00 otherwise) but honestly I would've paid 20 to get in there again. I won't spoil everything but this place is definitely worth it!

Awesome place to see some cool history of aviation, of planes and the pilots who flew them.

This was so cool! So many planes to look at, and even some interactive activities for kids (and maybe some adults too)! Their bathrooms were so cool with their designs, and the downstairs one even had space invaders outside the bathrooms. This was such a a cool visit.

“Must See Attraction” Plan to spend at least 2-3 hours minimum. Bring your kids and grandkids with you. They need to see and understand this and they will enjoy it. If you lived during the Cold War, the SAC Museum will give you a better understanding and appreciation for what went on 24/7/365 that you comfortably didn’t know. Do some research on “Looking Glass” and watch the movie “A Gathering of Eagles”

We took our toddler here for his birthday, and he loved it!

If u like history , airplanes military , science , Space and so much more you will enjoy this and ** if you're a member of the Omaha Public library you can get free passes through the partner program***

We visit a lot. We always enjoy going. There's stuff for all three of kids ages 4 to 16 to see.

Great place to come visit! So many pieces of history and tons of information for space and aviation enthusiasts!

One of the coolest air and space museums in the country, hands down. A really unique mix of aircraft on display, and heaps of information about them. To be able to get so close to so many amazing aircraft was a real treat! We went on a day that was HOT outside, and despite the giant indoor hangars we were comfortable walking around inside for hours. Some fun interactive stuff for the little ones too.

Waste of almost $30. Museum was hosting a car show to attract visitors. Music way too loud. 10 years ago it was a dignified museum. More like carnival this visit. Packed with car fanatics. Sorry, best I can give it this time. Maybe management can book a boat show next week.

We have been there twice in the last few years, Highly recommend taking a guided tour

Very informative. A well displayed museum

We love coming here. I do wish there was more interactive learning for the kids, they get bored of everything else. The Cafe food was fresh and delicious, I would come here just for the food. Overall great experience and I would recommend it to anyone!

Plan a day to see and absorb everything! We will be back!

Took our grandkids, great activities, and displays that kept them entertained. Awesome to see the aircraft and how they were used.

Great collection of planes. Very well put together. Half of the museum is dedicated to the history of aviation, planes and World War II, the other half is dedicated to space travel, the Apollo missions and beyond. At first, I thought it was a little pricey ($17.50 per person), but taking into account how much it probably takes to maintain a place as large as this is, $17.50 per person is probably fair. We went on a Sunday and some features were unavailable such as a limited menu at the snack bar. There is something for all ages at this museum.

Place is awesome if you're an engineer geek (like me) or a plane enthusiast. Easy exit off the I, definitely worth a stop. I would plan on a couple hours.

Very well maintained and interactive displays. A wide array of items to look at over the years of service planes. Large amount of information boards for the displays.

Awesome experience. Hard to pick a favorite, but the 9/11 desk and phone exhibit was definitely up there!

Full of historic planes for the adults and many kids activities for the rest.
