Destinations

A flight through time, from tarmac to triumph

Home to one of the world’s largest collections of flyable WWII aircraft, the Palm Springs Air Museum invites visitors to touch, climb aboard, and experience history up close.

At the Palm Springs Air Museum, one of the top aviation museums in the world, there is always something new to see. Most importantly, history comes alive. For instance, visitors can get close to the one of the world’s largest collections of vintage World War II, Korea, and Vietnam era aircraft.

Insider Insight

Arrive early for the docent-led hangar tours—often given by veterans themselves. For a bucket-list moment, book a ride in a vintage warbird like the P-51 Mustang or C-47 Skytrain. Want a crowd-free photo op? Mid-week mornings offer ideal light and minimal traffic in the Pacific Hangar.

Aviation history with altitude and attitude.
