Top five reasons to visit the EAA Aviation Museum™ in Oshkosh, WI!

Walk through aviation’s history. The restoration, preservation, and operation of vintage aircraft have been part of EAA since the very beginning. Discover airplanes used in aviation’s early days, including a tribute to the Wright brothers. Get close to classic aircraft and antique artifacts.

Explore military aviation. The Eagle Hangar is a massive hall of aircraft and artifacts dedicated to the memory of those who served in World War II, Korea, and Vietnam. The airplanes include examples of Allied fighters and bombers, Army, Navy, and Air Force aircraft, and more.

Discover aviation’s innovators. The Innovations Gallery highlights the airplanes and their pilots who have broken dozens of world records. See Loving’s Love, an air racer that was designed and built by WWII veteran and double amputee Neal V. Loving. Get close to the full-size animated replica of SpaceShipOne, an experimental, private spacecraft that made three successful spaceflights.

Observe the beauty of flight. Aviation is made up of more than airplanes and pilots. Photographers and artists have been part of the world of aviation from the beginning. Throughout the museum, there are historic photographs and works of art!

Have fun with the whole family. Bring out your inner child in the Kid Venture Gallery, where you can enjoy a variety of interactive activities and exhibits. The centerpiece of this area is the Raptor Gallery, which focuses on some of the remarkable features of the world’s most advanced aircraft, the F-22 Raptor, and offers the opportunity to climb into the cockpit of our half-scale mockup!
