Plan Your Visit
We are glad you found us! Everyday at WAAAM is a new adventure. The museum collection is housed in over 2 acres of indoor hangar facility. Plan to spend at least an hour to get an idea of what is here. For the enthusiast, a day can be too short to see all of the cars, planes, motorcycles, military vehicles, and more. Listen to the stories, talk to a docent, recount your own memories. Step back in time with The Western Antique Aeroplane & Automobile Museum.
We have a gift shop, snacks, a comfortable lounge, and clean restrooms so you can pace your visit. Wheelchairs and walkers are available on a first come first serve basis.
Pets are not allowed in the museum. Please make arrangements for your pet's comfort, especially during summer.
Our children's area is a wonderful hands on exploration area to be enjoyed by all (with adult supervision, of course).
