Hiller Aviation Museum

It’s an aviation museum with a lot of beautiful pieces on display. Very well maintained and clean and the best part is it’s just good enough to spend Couple of hours and enjoy

A great Aviation Museum, I'd say more of a specialization in Helicopters, some excellent examples and a good few fixed wing aircraft as well. There's also a fair amount of interactive equipment and the chance to fly a drone. The shop is good as well, for me a great way to spend a few hours, recommend 👍

People who are interested in aviation, history, and science should check it out. In addition to going through the exhibits, my son enjoyed getting into a cockpit, experiencing the flight simulator.

This museum is fun and children-friendly. There are tons of interactive exhibits you can play with, and you also don’t have to walk extensively throughout the exhibitions. You can sit into the pilot seat in multiple aircrafts and even a real 747 with fully interactive buttons. The museum is easy to find, located right next to the freeway, and easy to park. Their store has the models for almost all kinds of aircrafts. Plus, the staff here are exceptionally friendly.

Wonderful museum for all ages and particularly friendly for toddlers and kids, with activities and an interactive building play area. Bring your own picnic lunch and watch the small planes take off in their lovely courtyard!

This place is amazing; the exhibit and the people working there. We're members and we go here often with our little one. They have lots of events and if you love close by, I highly recommend donating and becoming members.

Driven by this place so many times in my life, so it was very cool to finally visit this aviation museum. Family and I went during the Halloween weekend and it was great! Scavenger hunt for kids to participate in as well as mini games to win prizes and candy. Seeing incredible planes and reading the info on the brave pilots was such a treat. They offer a aviation camp for youngsters that looked very cool and innovative.
They did a pumpkin drop, by the witch, from a helicopter on the adjacent runway. I think I was more excited than my 11 year old 😆! Friendly and very courteous staff. We're definitely making this a yearly tradition from now on.

I came here last week for a work event and it is awesome. I drive by this place every day going to work and never thought it would be this cool inside. They have many different planes, helicopters, etc. They also few a few different activities for kids. Definitely recommended.

The volunteers are so nice!
a bit noisy as the museum is having a summer camp
but overall great exhibition!

It was nice to have visited this museum. This aviation museum has a lot to do and may need almost 3 hours to see it just in quick read and walk. You can see the history of aviation industry + the future. Urban Air Mobility was a good introduction to the future but may need some more details there. On the outside of the museum, found a reconditions cabin of a Boeing 747 with 2 decks, seats, and with the cockpit. Seeing a cockpit was a delight. Few activities like Simulators etc are open only on week-ends and not on week days. Good place to visit.

Great place to visit. Your kids will love it.
Knowledgeable staff to answer your questions.

Very cool place to bring kids here, we came when there’s kids event and they can grab brushes to paint on a giant airplane, my toddler loved it! Outside there’s also a giant Boeing 747 and it’s fascinating to see the cockpit, but the line is long, we waited ~ 20min to get there on weekend morning. Maybe come early and seeing it first will save some time.

This visit was a drive by and sporadically decided to go and we were super glad we did; it's way worth the few bucks to get in. Planes and helicopters and flight simulators, I mean they had everything. Even a military drone flying game/simulator station with multiple compute stations so everyone can play together. That's perfect for the kids and adults. A family could easily spend a good 2 hours or more doing the visit. We loved it as a date then to the beach after words. (2 stories, elevator, bathrooms and gift shop.🛩👨‍✈🛫👩‍✈✈🌎🏝🏖👙🐚🩴🌊We were able to buy the tickets at the gift shop (got wrist band) right when we walked in. No line or overcrowding. But, we did go on the weekday so I'm not sure on weekends.

I was surprised. I recently took visiting family members to local museums and Hiller was the last stop. Hiller turned out to be well worth the visit. Displays include aviation history from the earliest days of winged flight with a local emphasis as well as a wide range of helicopters and more modern vertical takeoff prototypes. You can even try your hand at simulated flight around the Bay Area. I was OK flying. Landing....not so much.

By far the BEST aviation museum experience I’ve had and I have been to so many aviation museums ! The customer service and your guides are there because it’s what they love and it shows! The hands on experience is amazing! I would visit over and over again ! Well done and well cared for !

Such a neat little spot, packed with full-sized and scale model aircraft. There's a few interactive activities, too--the flight simulators cost an extra $5 for non-members. I look forward to going back, especially since we ran out of time to finish exploring the gift shop!

This place is awesome for kids at all ages!
They also have special events on certain days, check site for details. They have bird performances, plane painting, rocket 🚀 blaster, summer camp, drone simulating outdoor sitting area for snacks and much more. Great for a day trip with the kids

This is a great quiet place to visit. There's rarely a lot of people and the exhibits are amazing. Some interactive exhibits also where u can sit in the aircraft and play with controls. There's a great view of San Carlos Airport in the back. I take kids of all ages here.Even babies have a great time.

It's our favorite museum at this point. All of the docents are cool, the events are awesome and the exhibits are top notch with lots of simulators and cockpits to climb into. My 3 year old loves searching for Oliver.

This place is AMAZING!!! We are coming everytime they have an open cockpit day! My son LOVED climbing in the airplanes!!!

Still a great museum! And they have a fantastic summer camp program!
