Open 10 - 5 daily Hiller Aviation Museum, located at the San Carlos Airport, is an Affiliate of the Smithsonian Institution. Within the museum, you’ll find a number of early and contemporary aircraft, including replicas of airplanes that were first built in the mid-1800s, and a number of “concept” designs that showcase some of the crazier ideas that aviation inventors have come up with. The open-hangar design allows visitors to wander and take in the sights and information at their own pace.

Here’s another museum dedicated to aviation. This museum is affiliated with the Smithsonian. It has hands-on exhibits that include interactive experiences. There are exhibits with flight simulations, storm making, real-time air traffic, and so much more! If your travels include a drive on highway 101 towards the city of San Carlos, CA, a visit to this museum would be a wonderful detour...just give yourself plenty of time to really appreciate the experience.

Good for families, and plane enthusiasts alike. Lots of local pilots will be involved with days where the public can come check out unique planes up close, too.

Great for kids (or adults!) of all ages who love airplanes. Learn about the history of flying and see some old planes. It's also at a small airport, so you can watch the airplanes land.
