"If you're headed to San Diego (California, USA) and you're an airplane or history buff, you won't want to miss the world famous San Diego Air & Space Museum. Your journey through the history of flight begins as you stand beneath a model of the Montgolfier Brothers' hot air balloon of 1783 - the first vehicle in recorded history to break the bonds of gravity and lift living beings above the Earth.
See an authentic reproduction of the Wright Bros. 1903 flier and other models of early flight. Marvel at the antics of the barnstormers of the 1920's. Re-live the history of aviation as seen through the eyes of WWI and WWII. And, imagine what it is like to break Earth's bonds and travel into outer space as you get a close up and personal view of NASA's Apollo 9 Command Module. This is the only Apollo spacecraft on display in Southwestern United States to have actually flown in outer space.
San Diego Air & Space Museum is located at the tip of Balboa Park and is housed in the historic Ford Motor Building built in 1935 for the California Pacific International Exposition.
Children under 12 must be accompanied by an adult.
