This is a must for the aviation geeks, but the current renovation makes the experience significantly worse compared to early 2023. When I first visited there in January 2023, I had an amazing experience. There were lots of interesting aircraft that you could see up close and even enter the cabin of some of them, as you can see in the pictures. Fast forward five months, and they completely changed the hangar layout. You could no longer walk between the aircraft or enter the cabin of any of them. My last visit was in October 2023. The hangar layout was improved, but still, you could not walk in between the aircraft. Don't get me wrong, I highly recommend a visit, but compared to how things were before, it's extremely disappointing. I'm looking forward to seeing how it will look after renovation, and I hope we can get close to the aircraft again. Also, if you live in Munich, I recommend buying the anual ticket. The ticket is valid for this and the Deutsches Museum in the city center.

Entrance is 8 euro/adult but definitely worth a lot more. a well 3 hours spent there in this old airfield where you can witness the story how the airfield evolved from ww1 in tents to steel hangars with the American army after ww2. you see a great collection of civil / military airplanes and jet fighters. from 10.00 am till 2.00 pm every 30 min a man at the entrance present a show with his own remote Montgolfier and in the great exhibition hall another staff member make planes from wood and cans and present a flying circus remotely. you can enter some of the planes cabinet and you can see the rockets and missiles with a the first space rocket launched by Europe in his 4 stages. there's also a special exhibition room that teaches you some speaking catchphrases from the airfield language, a lot of planes/equipment/radios/engines/safety pilot seats and suits to see and a gift shop with drinks/cookies. also a plane simulator if you like to feel the experience. very recommended.

This is a good museum but not great. I had read somewhere that it was on par with the Smithsonian's Air and Space Museum in Washington DC, but it hardly compares. The facility seems more centered on simply the restoration of old planes rather than effectively displaying the history of German aviation in such a way that is truly insightful for the visitor. If you are in Munich I would not make a special effort to come out to the facility north of the city unless you are a hardcore aviation enthusiast or if you are visiting the area anyway, such as the Dachau Concentration Camp Memorial which is not far away. For a visitor of modest interest two hours is sufficient time to view the exhibits. Lockers are available for temporary storage of bags and personal items.

We've been coming here for about 7 years but this last visit in 2024 was quite disappointing. It feels like the entire museum is disorganised with planes in various stages of dismantling or moved around. It was difficult to get a clear view of many planes in the same way that it was before. Felt like things are just all over the place and not nearly as neat as it used to be. Also have to add that the toilets can do with renovation and some cleaning. Outside of these disappointments, there are lots of parking near by and it's nice to be able to go to the Transal display outside. Always great to see some classics like the Tornado and Euro Fighter.

A really superb aircraft museum, made all the more special as it's where some of these aircraft were based. From the late 1800's gliders to the Eurofighter, it's all here. There are also personal stories here about the men and women who were stationed here and flew from this airfield. There is a small cafe here, food is limited but nice. Being outside Munich it's in a quiet location which is good for soaking up the atmosphere. I also liked the large number of aircraft engines on display, some of which were cut away so that the inner workings could be seen. Leave yourself plenty of time, it's a fascinating place.

Very cluttered display. The display hall looks a lot like a storage area, with objects all around the exhibits. As a result many of the aircraft are almost completely blocked from view. The walkways are also limited, making it impossible to view the aircraft from up close; many aircraft can only be seen from the elevated viewing platform. A real shame, as the collection contains very interesting aircraft. The collection of aircraft engines was the most interesting part of the museum, and the history of Schleißheim was also very well put together. A shame the exhibition of aircraft leaves a lot to be desired.
