For the price ($4 adults and $2 children), this is a good attraction with free parking. It gives an insight into the early days of American aviation and the interactive exhibits are good for children

The CPAA doesn't attempt to match what is available at the National Air and Space Museum on the National Mall and the Udvar-Hazy museum near Dulles Airport. However, as many have pointed out , it is a great hands-on musueum, great for kids and in many respects, probably more fun for children(especially younger ones) than the two larger museums mentioned,...

There is an interesting flight simulator and other hands on things to keep you busy. The history is presented in an interactive way with video and buttons to push. There's stuff... More

Our 2 year old loved this place. Small, cheap admission, and lots of activity centers and hands on for little ones. A previous commenter said there was a military discount but we asked today and they no longer offer it. Not too disappointed though, because it's so affordable!
