Deserts provide great conditions for preserving planes, and this huge collection of historic planes is a Palm Springs landmark. Enjoy getting an up-close view of aerial history in huge, air-conditioned hangers, then watch a movie in the Buddy Rogers Theater. There is a gift shop filled with airplane-themed souvenirs. Special events include air shows featuring the largely WWII-era aircraft, children's activities and lectures, often presented by the men and women who flew the planes originally.
Admission: USD10 adults; USD8.50 military, seniors, students (3-17); USD5 children ages 6-12; children under six are free; USD20 family (2 adults, 3 children)
