Air Power Park

Great museum to take kids and or just explore. Tons of amateur and professional models inside to look at. It is free to enter and walk around. The staff there are very friendly and help you in learning whatever you would like to know! There is a boardwalk out back with nice views accompanied by local wildlife and waterways. This place is never too busy. Although it is a small building and a small attraction compared to other museums, there will almost always be near to no wait to get in and look around. Attached are some photos of the boardwalk behind the park. I couldn't find any of the photos I took of the aircraft themself.

This is mostly outside, so make sure you visit with good weather. The outside and the inside are both about 30 minutes worth of walking around and reading. The outside is gravel and will pose a problem for people with difficulty walking or for wheelchairs. You can get very close to several cold war and Vietnam era jet aircraft and rockets. The building is small but includes several hundred, well-made plastic model aircraft. They are well organized by country and time period. There is a nearby but unrelated raised walking path that goes over a marsh. --- definitely worth checking out. You can access it from the rear of the Air Power Park.

This a very nice hidden gem. My son absolutely enjoyed himself. Including the reading room with a place to sit and read the many books available. There are many displays about the history of planes and all of the roles they have played throughout time. They have a Tuskegee and a women in planes section also. This was very informative and very beautiful to look at inside and out. Planes and exhibits larger than life.
