The Aerospace Museum of California

Located at the heart of the former McClellan Air Force Base, the Aerospace Museum of California is a premier destination for families looking to explore the world of aviation and aerospace. Home to over 40 historical aircraft, this incredible museum is the perfect day trip, and a must-see for any aviation enthusiast.

Originally established in 1986 as the McClellan Aviation Museum, the museum was renamed and reopened at its current location in 2005. Since then, the museum has been dedicated to celebrating the history of aviation and aerospace while inspiring the future generation of explorers.

The staff and volunteers at the Aerospace Museum of California have worked hard to create a fun, engaging environment where families feel welcomed and can get excited about STEM (Science, technology, engineering, and math) and the history of aerospace.

When faced with the COVID-19 pandemic, the museum created a comprehensive safety plan and used their 4-acre outdoor Air Park as the main gathering area for guests. As one of the only museums open during the pandemic, the Aerospace Museum of California safely hosted in-person summer camps for hundreds of children, as well as multiple family fun events.

As 2021 continues, the Aerospace Museum of California is gearing up for their in-person summer camps for students ages 6-12. Campers can choose between four themes: Galactic Explorers, Aviation Aces, Out of this World, and After Lunch Adventurers. Each camp will feature hands-on experiments, water games, engineering challenges, and more, starting at $199/week.
