Lone Star Flight Museum in Galveston… One of the top flying museums in the United States

by Jill Jarvis Leave a Comment

Update: The museum is now at Ellington Airport. See it HERE!

Lone Star Flight Museum Galveston Building
Address: 2002 Terminal Drive, Galveston, TX 77554

7/2017 Update: This museum has moved to Ellington Airport!

As we drove down to Galveston, I asked, “Where to today?”. Let’s try one new place before hitting the beach. We’ve been to the Oil Rig Museum, Railroad Museum and Ropes Course… so we picked the Lone Star Flight Museum!

Located right next to Moody Gardens is the airplane hanger full of beautifully restored planes!

We are a fan of all things-that-go and all things military history… but let me tell you, there are some serious flight lovers at the Lone Star Flight Museum. Volunteers are maintaining the planes, visitors are taking selfies like they are at a rock concert and the conversations are nothing I recognize. It was cool to see the super fans enjoying the museum.

The displays over 40 historically significant aircraft and over 1500 artifacts and apparently it is one of the top flying museums in the United States. Some of the planes are even available for flights. (Get the details HERE.)

We walked through the airplanes, picked our favorite (the army helicopter!) and people watched. We did not spend as much time there as some groups, but it was cool to see all the planes and helicopters.

When we visited, the admission fee was $10 for adults and $8 for kids over 5. (Check HERE for the latest.)

We went to West Beach afterwards… but if you want white sand and a waterpark, Palm Beach is right next door (as well as Moody Gardens, Schlitterbahn and Flagship Park).

On this website you will find a full list of Houston weekly events, things to do around the city, travel ideas and resources for parents.

I know just what it’s like to be overwhelmed by work, life and family. I spent a lot of years traveling for work, missing big milestones for my kids and feeling bad about everything.

I started this website to make a list of all the events happening around Houston and then pick one to enjoy with my kids. And instead of thinking of all the things I was missing, I started to enjoy the things we were doing together.

If you are a parent that is feeling overwhelmed by all the things you could be doing in Houston… please just use our weekly lists and daily posts as suggestions. Pick one thing to do with your family and intentionally ignore the rest!
