What an amazing place in a nicely semi secluded location. The people at the museum were very welcoming and took us in quickly. The wait was virtually none. You start in the gift shop and move onto the interior portion of the museum where there is so much to see and read. The description on their website is typically a four hour visit with a potential for a second day...that's very correct. If you stop to read everything and fully immerse yourself, it will take a while to leave the first portion of the museum. Once out onto the outdoor section, the places are spectacular. Some with their engines intact, other with their engines gotten, either one lends itself to great views. You can get up close and personal with the planes, just don't touch. Wheel bays are open and you can stick your head up there and look at the components that makes everything tic, but watch your head! You can essentially walk the entire ground with some exceptions that are roped off. There are planes, engines, tanks, missiles, munitions, plane restorations in progress, classic car/race car section and general reading. It is a blast for those who love wartime history and wartime relics. The classic car collection is massive, that was a pleasant surprise. I understand the preservation of the planes, but I would have loved to be able to enter one of their larger planes and just take it all in. As an aerospace tech, this was a great time. I'd definitely love to visit again. Great experience for my father and I. Great job Estrella...

Read moreI'm not a military expert, but enjoy visiting military museums. While vacationing in Avalia Beach, I was looking for places near, and came across the Estrella Warbird Museum. Drove up, and was surprised to find one of the best military and auto museums I've ever seen. They had such a wide variety of displays for all types of military equipment including planes, helicopters, tanks, jeeps, amphibious vehicles. In addition, all kinds of armaments from sidewinders, surface to air, guided weapons, torpedoes, mortar shells and more. Their Auto Museum was equally enjoyable, classic cars, race cars, service station equipment and so much more. I spent over 4 hours visiting, and will visit next time I'm in...
