Flight Path Museum & Learning Center — Attraction in Los Angeles

Fascinating, fantastic, and fun Museum on airplane travel that is family friendly. Step back in time when air travel was a pleasure and full of wonderful service. See all the lovely designer Airline steward clothing and paraphernalia that was available to clients in the past. Many model aircraft displays depicting the history of Passenger flights. An informative display on space travel was a delightful surprise. The staff was very well informed and fun to talk to. Flight simulators are available to students which is super cool!

My suggestions to help Museum are.....

Advertise! Advertise! Advertise!

Get in on the tourist brochures.... Like the El Segundo map guide or other tourist oriented Maps or pamphlets. Get a pamphlet out to all of the airport terminals, hotels and restaurants that have tourist displays or boards. I also recommend you to check them out so you know what people look for. Offer a coupon to attract visitors, tourist always like to save money, even if it is on a donation basis.

See if LAX airport can put in a small display to attract visitors to your Museum, and have a shuttle available for passengers that arrived in the airport to visit the museum. This will make easier access for people who do not have cars or have a short stay.

Get in touch with other small museums like the Automobile Driving Museum (ADM). Learn how they make their museums work in terms of getting donations at the door (the ADM is very good at this). You can also form a partnership with them for dual attraction tickets. Find ways to help each other out!

Get a flashier sign out front so people know you're there. It's kind of hidden. Perhaps one at each Street entrance to the...

My husband and I visited the Flight Path Museum over the holidays and enjoyed it so much that we returned again today with the in-laws.

There are so many reasons to visit this wonderful learning center! The history of LAX is presented along with memorabilia from the various airlines that have flown and continue to fly into the airport.

The museum displays a DC-3 which was first operated by TWA and then, Union Oil. You can actually step inside and take a look, but because it is on airport property, a museum volunteer will escort you onboard.

The volunteers have all worked in the airline industry and they are friendly, knowledgeable, and enthusiastic about sharing their love of LAX. Along with a front row seat to the busy runways, the best thing about the museum is that it is free! Although the price is right, don't let that stop you from making a donation to keep this gem up and running!

Definitely a recommended...

Flight Path Learning Center is a great location to soak in a wide range of aviation history. There is a great deal of commercial aircraft memorabilia, including pins, luggage, suits and uniforms. A slew of models show a wide range of plane and planes types. The center is made of of many rooms, making it a delight to explore each and take your time.

They also have a historic DC-3 outside, which you can go inside, sit down in - even in the cockpit! This is a learning center, and to further support that they offer Flight Sim training, with an impressive number of computers to support students.

Pro tip - take some cash with you. Although it's free, they do ask for donations. Take some cash so you can give to this...
