Located minutes from I-91 alongside Bradley International Airport, the New England Air Museum is the largest aerospace museum in the region. The New England Air Museum houses over 80 aircraft and an extensive collection of engines, instruments, and artifacts in three large display hangars and an outdoor display area. Visitor favorites include the Boeing B-29A Superfortress, Douglas DC-3, and the one-of-a-kind VS-44A Excambian Flying Boat.
From supersonic jets and helicopters to biplanes and warbirds, visitors can discover New England’s aerospace legacy through self-guided exhibits, smartphone tours, and conversations with the museum’s dedicated volunteer corps, many of whom are retired pilots or aerospace engineers.
Children’s activities include scavenger hunts, take-home activity kits, as well as educational demonstrations on the history and science of flight. Visit our website for additional information on current operating hours, activities, and upcoming special events.
