🚨 Honest Review: Hiller Aviation Museum

My kiddo recently got obsessed with airplanes, so we checked out this aviation museum near San Carlos Airport—big regrets! Here’s the brutally honest breakdown to save you the trouble: ⚠️ 5 Major Red Flags 1️⃣ "Museum" = Cramped Airplane Warehouse ✈️ Super small, with zero wow factor. My kid went from "OMG planes!" to "Can we leave?" in 1.5 hours (we planned for 3!). "Interactive" exhibits? Extra $$$. Most fun stuff (like flight simulators) costs additional fees. 2️⃣ Outdoor Space? More Like a Parking Lot 🚧 Expected cool airport views, but got a tiny fenced area (security makes sense, but still…). The dirty 747 nose you can climb was meh—dusty and neglected. 3️⃣ Forced Gift Shop Detour 🛒 Exit strategy? Through the overpriced souvenir shop. Tacky much? 4️⃣ Middle-of-Nowhere Vibes 🏜️ Surrounded by airport emptiness. Only combo option: Filoli Gardens (but that’s a stretch). 5️⃣ Ticket Scam Alert 💸 $22/adult, $14/kid (4+) for… this? Even the $139 annual pass isn’t worth it. ✨ The Only Positives Free play zones: Flight simulators 🕹️ + parachute games (kid liked these). Upgrade option: Daily tickets can apply to a yearly pass (but why would you?). 📌 Practical Info 📍 Address: 601 Skyway Rd, San Carlos ⏰ Hours: 10AM–5PM 🎟️ Tickets: Adult $22 | Kid (4+) $14 | Annual $139 Final Verdict: Skip it. Overpriced, underwhelming, and not a must-visit. #BayAreaLife #SkipThisMuseum #KidFriendlyFails #AviationLoversDeserveBetter
