Niagara Aerospace Museum, Niagara Falls NY

It was some of the best time and money i've spent. Walter is very knowlageble. And can make complex things understandable

Wonderful intimate setting to learn about the history of aerospace in Niagara, including WWII production, prototype aircraft, and modern day aeronautics and aerodynamics research. Dave was a great guide and was happy to answer all our questions like we were old friends. He talked us through the development of the aircraft in the Niagara area then allowed us to explore on our own. Recommended for adults and families alike!

The museum is only open on weekends so I couldn't go inside. There are big windows in front however and they have a number of interesting exhibits inside. Definitely worth a look if you find yourself in the area on a weekend.

It's a nice small museum. We had a good time over here. Must go if u have extra time.

Amazing displays, and knowledgeable volunteers (Walter and Erik) who really give great background information. Which elevates the experience higher than if you had just walked through it alone. Truly a great experience highly recommend it.

It’s been months since I’ve been to a museum but I’m glad I restarted my adventures here. While the exterior looks small, it’s bigger than you think. While still a relatively small museum I was able to spend nearly 2.5 hours there. The staff are very knowledgeable and very polite. It’s also not every day you get to see wreckage of a WW2 fighter plane that was flown by the Soviets.

Thank you so much Dave; we had an amazing time with our kids. My husband could have stayed there all day. We learned so much and definitely come back!

It was spectacular! You really learn a lot about aviation history.
They have a large collection of airplanes and helicopters.

I've been to this area a hundred times and somehow missed visiting this museum until now. Who knew? What a great way to find out about the local aviation history. Dave, our guide, was amazing. His knowledge and enthusiasm made the experience wonderful.

Amazing museum! Staff is VERY knowledgeable and friendly, they have plenty of artifacts from Bell and other WNY Aerospace companies, some of which you won't even find in the Smithsonian.
Small venue, but chock full of displays.
They also have educational exhibits and guest speakers.
If you are into aviation or have a school aged child who is into STEM, you need to check this place out and bookmark the website!

Much more than you bargain for, you won't leave without enlightenment. Walter is top notch in the tour guide industry. We feel blessed to have spent the day with him. Through his knowledge and expertise, he was able to capture several hours of attention from both ourselves and our children and several other adults. He is truly a walking encyclopedia of the history and industry that can't be matched. Please visit and ask for Walter.

Came to take a tour of the museum, it's a great hidden gem on the incredible aerospace history western New York has. I'm a big engineering and history nerd, so I was very thankful that Walter offered to give a guided tour. He was incredibly well read and technologically knowledgeable about all of the flight and space hardware they have on display. I wish I had more time to speak with Walter, but I will return soon to soak up more of the history and see the museum.

I had one of the best experiences in my life into a museum.
The collection is very wide, the way how is organized touch a lot of steps in the aviation history, and Walter, the guide, explained everything with knowledge and enthusiasm.
He touched complicated topics with an easy and immediate semplicity with examples and homemade models. He also jumped in technical details on all stuff inside the museum, with a very competent attention to the mechanical of the engines and physical phenomena. Impressive knowledge of the worldwide and local aviation's industry it's another important aspect that make the difference.

The shop also give you an opportunity to have fun with gadgets or exhaustive collections of books and magazines to buy.

Dave was awesome and knowledgeable and eric helped out as well… i cane for the first time and really enjoyed it.thanks dave for the explanation and ur service

$10 adult admission, $5 military and other discounts that I forgot already. But price was great for an hour and a half reading everything and seeing versions of planes, helicopters, training systems, rockets, and equipment. At the end was a children's area and a flight simulator and landing simulator to try your hand at. There was a tour guide but he was occupied with another guest so another man shared what he knew with a car mechanic background, which fit well with the displays and enhanced our visit anyways. Parking free and basically a covered walkway in so it's good on rainy or snowy days. I was fascinated by the emphasis on Buffalo history and how much happened here and in New York in general.

Amazing local history museum! They have the rocket belt! Very friendly knowledgeable staff.
We went for Hugh Neeson' s book signing on the 75th anniversary of the Bell X-1 breaking the sound barrier (10.14.1947) - LARRY BELL'S LEGACY.
