Best Open Air Museum Sterling Heights Near Me

Mariya Jo: Who knew such a small museum could pack such a punch. Our group of 4 adults and 6 children spend 3-4 hours touring and listening to volunteers/workers explain items and aircrafts (and tanks!). The people here are really what makes this museum so special. We were there well through, and past, lunch and the kids never complained they were so intrigued.

Jessica P: Was a nice little trip for the kids. The people running the museum are very knowledgeable and didn't hesitate to help us have a great visit. They provided so much information and detail. It really made the museum all the better.Visited on Weekend Wait time Up to 10 min Reservation recommended No Price for adult entry $6–10 …More

Dave Page: This past weekend, My son and I visited the museum, this has been a long time coming, and we were not disappointed. When we walked in, we were quickly greeted by Jim and Sam who gave a quick overview of the museum. Sam became our tourguide explaining about the history of the base and the museum as we traveled through the different eras and exhibits. After we finished the inside, we headed out to the SPAD hanagr, the Air Park, and we were given a tour of the restoration hangar where the Sherman tank lives and they are actively restoring a Corsair. This museum is definitely worth the price of admission for the artifacts, aircraft, and the wealth of knowledge provided by the volunteers.If you are interested in visiting, check out their website for more inforation such as days and hours of availbility. The guards at the base just checked my registration and insurance to make sure they were current, ran a quick background check on my driver's license, and then gave me a pass. Children did not need anything to get on base, just the adults.

Mark Van Woert: A must for anyone! Children especially! With the blatant destruction of our American History, indoctrination, and forced wokness, we as parents need to teach and subject our children our country's true history any chance we get!Visited on Weekend Wait time No wait Reservation recommended Yes Price for adult entry $6–10 …More

M P: This is a great place, full of great people, great exhibits, and did I mention great people? We went on a tour with Steve, and he was amazing! He shared his experiences jumping out of some of the planes. My son and I had such a great time. I highly recommend it. There is so much history here, I don't want to spoil it, so just go check it out, you won't be sorry.

Raymond Michael Sand: A diamond in the rough. Needs to become a regional attraction.

Karen W: I really enjoyed going to this museum, will plan on going again

Paul Timmins: Awesome exhibits and lots of volunteers

Angela Celeste May: Wow! What an amazing experience we had. I surprised my husband by taking him to Selfridge Military Air Museum located on the active Selfridge Military Base after we were not able to visit the Air and Space Museum in Washington DC on a recent trip because it had not yet reopened. We both come from military families though neither of us have served, and my husband is an avid history buff and passionate about all things military from uniforms, to combat weapons, to aircraft in all branches and all eras of U.S. combat.I can't believe that being lifelong Detroiters we had never visited Selfridge but we will definitely be back! The exhibits inside the museum and all all the historic planes on the field outside, some of which visitors can access, as well as the knowledgeable Personnel makes this trip a must. Everyone was very welcoming and their commitment to being inclusive in telling that history is so necessary and refreshing. This place, second oldest base in the country, is a true Gem!

Karl Capobianco: The museum is moving to Grand Blanc MI. So, a review of this place is really meaningless. What I saw was the most amazing collection of concept cars, old, and new vehicle. All in perfect condition. Food was great with an open bar. Perfect night.Visited on Weekday Wait time No wait Reservation recommended Yes Price for adult entry Free …More

howardrundell: The Selfridge Military Air Museum which is supported by the Michigan Air Guard Historical Association is a true hidden aviation "gem" in SE Michigan. Reflecting Selfridge's proud 100 year history, the Museum has on display many of the aircraft types from all branches of the military which have flown from Selfridge which include a full-scale WWI "Spad" replica, a Cold War Navy sub chaser, the P-3 Orion" and the mighty C-130 "Hercules" transport both of which are open for tours, the F-16 "Viper" and A-10 "Warthog" which are flying in America's defense today. Many artifacts from that same period are carefully displayed in the Museum's main building. Maintained by a 100% volunteer staff, the Selfridge Military Air Museum should be a "must see" on your SE Michigan "road trip" itinerary
