Museo Aeronáutico de Málaga — Attraction in Málaga

The Museo Aeronáutico de Málaga (Malaga Aeronautical Museum) is a must-visit for anyone interested in aviation, history, or simply learning something new. The museum is housed in the original passenger terminal of Málaga-Costa del Sol Airport, and it features a wide variety of aircraft, from vintage biplanes to modern jetliners.

One of the things that makes the Museo Aeronáutico de Málaga so special is that it is accessible to everyone, regardless of age or knowledge level. The museum has a number of interactive exhibits that make it easy to learn about aviation in a fun and engaging way. For example, visitors can sit in a real airplane from the 1950s, try their hand at flying a simulator, and learn about the different components of an aircraft engine.

The staff at the Museo Aeronáutico de Málaga is also incredibly friendly and knowledgeable. They are always happy to answer questions and provide information about the exhibits. I was particularly impressed by the way they interacted with the children who were visiting the museum. They were patient and took the time to explain things in a way that the children could understand.

Overall, I had a wonderful experience at the Museo Aeronáutico de Málaga. It is a well-organized and informative museum that is suitable for visitors of all ages. I would highly recommend it to anyone visiting Málaga.

What a fantastic place this is! My wife and I visited today and spent 3 hours happily immersed in aviation and it’s all free. No need for tickets.

Set in and around the original airport terminal, it has wonderful displays of every aspect of the airport through the years. From the aircraft on display themselves, there’s rooms full of uniforms, luggage, tickets, airport equipment of all sorts, fire and follow me trucks, archaeological finds, models, dioramas, aircraft engines from little Lycomings to a monster Rolls Royce Trent, radar aerials and screens, Very lights, radios, teletypers - if it’s ever been used at an airport it’s almost certainly on display here.

Set right by the business aircraft parking area, it has a great view of the southern end of runway 31. There’s both a proper built seating area, plus you can climb up an old set of air stairs in the fire truck area. We could never do this in the UK!

The buildings themselves have been very well preserved and you can almost imagine the staff and passengers of old in the terminal building.

The whole place is a credit to everyone who has had a hand in getting the museum to its current very high standard. The DC9 nose section built in to the building is a real eye opener! It’s a brilliant idea to see from both sides.

If you have even a passing interest in aviation, this is a museum well worth a few hours...

A great place to visit, it has something for all the family - young and old. Lots of interactive displays, buttons to press, clothes to dress up in, flight simulators (we took a trip into space and back!), models, artefacts, uniforms and so much more. I personally particularly enjoyed the exposition about women in aviation.

The volunteers were very friendly and helpful, even opening one of the planes so we could go inside. Facilities were clean, toilets and a vending machine on site.

Mostly inside but with some planes, fire engines and ruins outside to take a look at. There's also a viewing platform to watch planes take off from Malaga airport.

Take some cash as there's a small gift shop with very reasonable priced items: magnets, badges, lanyards for kids etc. They also ask for a small donation to go on the simulators. Entry is free with a donation if you wish.

We spent about 2 hours there but could have stayed longer if it weren't for the fact they were closing. We'll be back for...
