evergreen aviation & space museum

There are 3 buildings along with outside exhibits. One is for Aviation, one for 3D films and for for Aerospace/space. They have tour guides from WWII that take you around the one set and explain everything plus give their experience with the aircraft. You can go into Howard Hughes Spruce Goose. Very well organized and the films are about 45minutes and well worth seeing. Allow yourself 4hrs minimum to see everything. There are also Simulators to use, games and places to eat.

This place is a must visit with an enormous and exceptionally well set out collection of airplanes, helicopters and space craft. We spent 6 hours walking around the buildings discovering all sorts of amazing things. There is a great place for kids to play. The guides (who are all volunteers and ex airforce) were great and really added to the experience. Well worth the entry fee.

Never seen the "Spruce Goose" before. WOW! Great sight for WWII planes and later. Space area and more modern warfare was excellent.

Great museum. Take a tour with a docent; they add so much to the history with their personal experiences and knowledge.

Went there this past weekend and it is fantastic! The Spruce Goose is the main reason that we went but there is so much to see and enjoy. We spent 6 hours there! Every volunteer is knowledgable and friendly. They are all willing to spend time with you and answer questions. The facility is beautiful and we went on a great day so all the light really brought it to life. I have been to Wash DC, Dayton AirForce Base and the EAA and this was the better than those. They really took the time to showcase all the planes. In the other building, it is dedicated to space but there are also planes there. Cannot say enough about how wonderful this museum is. As a bonus, we were finishing our tour of the Spruce Goose and who is waiting for us to finish but Jay Leno! He was in town and stopped for a tour.

We stopped here on our way home from Lincoln City. It is 2 huge buildings full of the history of aviation. It was amazing to see for my husband and I who are in our 40 's and we saw lots of kids and seniors all enjoying the attractions. They have the famous "Spruce Goose". It is HUGE. Definitely worth the money!!

We started on the aviation side and it took us two hours to get through that building alone. The Spruce Goose is an experience of it's own. Be sure to schedule a 15 minute tour of the cockpit and have your picture taken. It was worth the $25 for that. The volunteers are very knowledgeable about the subject. There is also a B17 bomber that is $4 extra to tour. The tickets can be a bit pricey at $25 each plus another $10 for a movie if you want to but you almost need two days to go through everything available. There are also planes sitting outside that can be viewed. Definitely make this a stop in your vacation plans, if you are in the area. (There is also an indoor water park).

A great place to learn a lot about aviation and how it has evolved by seeing the planes and hearing the stories told.

I have been to EASM a number of times and it just kept getting better, as they added great planes, a space center, IMAX theater and water park. Unfortunately, recent financial troubles are quickly decimating their collection as they sell off many of their best pieces. The facilities are beautiful, and the Spruce Goose is fun to see, but admission may no longer worth the high price.

There is a lot to see at evergreen,lots of planes, the spruce goose.However even though there's a lot too see a lot of their information (such as on the spruce goose) is inaccurate.And they are way way overpriced. If you can get special passes cheap it would be a good value and a couple hours well spent.

If you think planes, jets, and space travel are at all cool, you'll probably enjoy this place. We've been to a few of these types of places, including the Boeing museum and the Space Center in Houston. This one isn't as big, but we still spent about 3 hours at each museum and barely saw everything, and we didn't read most of the descriptions. If you read everything you could probably spend a day at each museum. We didn't get to the movie theater to see our complimentary movie because we didn't want to miss seeing any of the museum. The coolest thing was the Spruce Goose. I was blown away by how big it was. It's actually not longer than a 747, but it's taller and wider. Crammed into the air museum it looks massive.The only reason I didn't give 5 stars was because the restaurants weren't very good. The one in the air museum only had hot dogs and cold sandwiches. So we went to the one in the space museum, which at least had some hot sandwiches, but only 4 choices. Tasted OK, though.

I have been to the Air and Space Museum in WA/DC and this is as good or better. A great collection and wonderful people. Do NOT miss this.

This place, was a unexpected extra, on the drive towards the coast.Landed in the parking lot. Had to tell my husband he could close his mouth.Walked in the doors and the smell of the crankcase oil and wonderful propeller planes did it for me. The IMAX theatre was great . Could really spend a couple of days here comfortably. Appeals to all ages. I had a bum knee but could sit whenever I needed to,in the vintage airplanes seats! What a treat!!!!

We live in Alaska, but took my husband's elderly parents there last fall and enjoyed it so much that we planned another short trip and took my parents two weeks ago. For history buffs, and those who are interested at all in aviation history, it is incredible. The volunteer guides are all passionate and knowledgeable. We paid additional for special tour of the cockpit of the Spruce Goose (couldn't do that the first time due to parents' mobility issues) and it was way more than we expected. Was a quiet morning at the museum and our 15 minutes turned into about 40 minutes and we were spellbound by the knowledge and interesting presentation of our guide. Also did the special B-17 tour. Due to limited time, we didn't see the movies either time. Will try to do that in the future, but hard to tear these guys away from the wonder of all the historical displays. The buildings themselves are gorgeous and the displays, extra films, etc., are beautifully done. We will go again and hope to do so with our young grandson one day.

This place has the spruce goose that alone should attract any aviation fan. It also has an SR71 blackbird. It also has a huge IMAX theater, It also has a massive space science center with some totally great rocket stuff. Finally they have a indoor water park with a 747 on the roof from which water slide pertrude. Best aviation attraction on earth.
