Located on the largest float-plane base on the planet, on the south shore of Lake Hood, the Alaska Aviation Museum is a must-see attraction on your Anchorage itinerary. The museum celebrates and showcases Alaska’s unique aeronautics history and is home to a treasure-trove of memorabilia, exhibits, films, photographs and artifacts, most of which belonged to the country’s aviation pioneers.

Fascinating exhibits include a variety of historic planes, the oldest of which date back to the 1920’s and 1930’s, spread over 4 enormous hangers. The museum is open daily from 10am to 5pm. You can get a taste of what’s in store by watching an introductory video on their website.
