I was really surprised by the Hiller Aviation Museum in San Carlos. It has a lot of truly unique aircraft that you simply can’t find elsewhere – including the mysterious Boeing Condor and the Boeing SST (aka the American version of Concorde). It’s no National Air and Space Museum, but in some ways it’s even better because it is so undiscovered. This was definitely one of the best $8 I’ve spent in a while.

I agree, I had a great time there! I especially liked the cut-away views of different kinds of aircraft engine, as well as some of the FAIL designs of various old aircraft

Since November is Aviation History Month so we thought it would be fun to share some of our favorite kid-friendly aviation museums we’ve visited around the country. It’s not an exhaustive list by any means, so if you know of other good aviation museums for kids, please stop by and let us know at http://www.fivehens.com/the-skys-the-limit/. Thanks.
