The Journey

1

National Air and Space Museum

Journey through the history of flight and space exploration at the National Air and Space Museum. Marvel at the Wright Flyer, the Spirit of St. Louis, and a backup Lunar Module, relics of pivotal moments in aviation and space history. Explore exhibits dedicated to Amelia Earhart, the Space Race, and the moon landings, and get an up-close look at test vehicle of the Hubble Telescope and a backup of Skylab, America's first space station. Discover the technology and innovation that propelled humanity beyond Earth, and perhaps even sample freeze-dried ice cream for an authentic astronaut experience. Please note that due to ongoing construction, exhibit availability may vary; check the museum's website for the latest updates.

Know Before You Go

This tour is 2 hours long and includes a personal tour guide (unless you choose the semi-private option). The tour is wheelchair-friendly (again, unless you choose the semi-private option). The price of the tour does not include getting to or from your hotel, but Ubers and taxis are easy to use. It also doesn't include tips for your guide, but you can give them one if you want!

Hot Tip

The museum can get very busy, especially on weekends. Try to go early in the day or during the week to avoid the crowds. And don't miss the gift shop - they have cool souvenirs!
