The American Helicopter Museum and Educational Center is a tribute to those who pioneered rotary wing aircraft and seeks to encourage those who will do so in the future. It is the only helicopter museum in the USA and attracts around 35000 visitors annually for a hands-on, climb aboard experience. There are ongoing drives to fund improvements such as the Adopt-a-Copter campaign. Once a month, helicopter rides are offered and Fathers' Day and Santa Fest are celebrated annually.

An interactive helicopter can be hired to travel to schools and events for a day. The shop at the museum sells pilot plushies and art prints.
