Price: $5 per device plus general admission

Times: 7 days per week, based on device availability

Guests can check out an audio tour device and explore the museum at their leisure. Throughout the museum, there are signs that indicate artifacts and exhibits that are part of the Audio Tour. Guests point their device at the signs, and audio will begin playing. Narrated by museum staff, the audio guides provide an in-depth description and history of some of our significant aircraft and exhibits. Narrations include the B-24 Liberator, the Hind helicopter, an Air Force One, the Super Guppy, and so much more!

For a seamless listening experience, we recommend one device for every two people in your group (though more people can listen at a time).

While not required to hear the audio tour, the devices are compatible with headphones/earbuds that have a jack (not compatible with wireless devices), and the museum has earbuds for purchase for $1. You may also provide your own.

Devices are available to check out at the counter in admissions. They are available on a first come, first served basis, and cannot be reserved ahead of time.
