Seattle Tourist Trap Tips by joiwatani Top 5 Page for this destination

Check the Concorde and Air Force One first

There are so many things to do inside the Museum of Flight. Sometimes it takes a lot of time to check and see on all the planes.

It depends on what time you decided to visit the museum. If you started late, it's better to check the Air Force One plane and the Concorde first because there is always a long line after 12 pm. Besides, the tours on these two planes close at 3:00 pm. So, make sure that you got your money's worth and not miss the two tours. The fee is $16.00 and that is costly!

Unique Suggestions: If you are late, take the tour of the Air Force One and Concorde first and then move to the museum.

Fun Alternatives: Go visit the museum early! Then you will have all the time and not miss anything including the live drama and/or the movie shows!
