Reviews for Naval Air Station Wildwood Aviation Museum in Rio Grande, NJ

RatingCommentsDemographicsCreated
5 StarsExcellent!Very hands on, tons of fun, bring some water as it can get a bit hot in the hangar. My kids absolutely loved climbing in and on all of the planes and helicopters. They asked tons of questions about the exhibits themselves, the conflicts they were used in, the people who flew them, and what they were doing in New Jersey. Also, the old Franklin Institute flight exhibit captivated them (as it did me when I was a kid) although parts of it have fallen into disrepair. Overall, a hidden gem and a great place to spend an afternoon!Family with young children08-24-09
