Thank you for your great review! Glad that you had a nice visit. We hope to see you back soon!

It's nice to be able to not only see but also touch and ride inside some old historical planes. Children can play on toy planes and even try the simulator. Our 7-yr old boy absolutely loved it. For adults it's a special place to learn about Norway's rich aviation history. Highly recommended, especially for aviation enthusiasts.

This museum has a comprehensive collection of aircraft and related memorabilia from Norway, Europe and the world. Among the interesting parts of the collection are a V1 rocket from World War II, a U-2 plane (Francis Gary Power's flew from this town when he was shot down) and a Russian MIG (obtained in the early 1990's in trade for a cargo plane full of medications. This does not disappoint.Be certain to pay for 3 hours of parking. You will be ticketed by a private for profit company unaffiliated with the museum if you are over the time for which you pay.

Everything in this place was of consistently high quality! Felt very welcome from the moment I arrived in the door, friendly and informative service from the woman at the ticket desk. The exhibition itself consists of 3 parts, a military section, a civil aviation section and finally the old traffic control tower with great views over Bodo city and the runway of the new airport. A lot of work must have gone into setting up this place and renovate all the old planes etc.

A must for boys of all ages. Norways biggest collection of aviation history in one place. Great also for families in stead of spening hours at the airport.

Disliked nothing. Well laid out (Civil and military sections). Excellently maintained, good café. Told me a lot I did not know about the invasion in the 2nd World War

The museum has a great collection of aircraft nicely arranged into civil and military sections. A nice place to wander around if interested in aviation.

Museum is well structured so military/historical is on other civil aviation. There are some very nice planes i haven't seen other places from WW2 time. Also these historical stories of Norwegian own aviation landmarks are interesting. Civil aviation part was maybe not as interesting for me but some nice stuff is available. Also this "working" air traffic control tower was interesting to see.

A large collection of military and civilian airplanes in Norway through the ages. The museum is built around the old control tower of Bodø Airport. Parking is free for two hours and access is easy.The civilian side of the exhibition is centered on the different aviation enterprises of Norway, showcasing many different planes. In this side there is also a flight simulator.The military side features many different airplanes as well as the history of Norwegian military aviation in pictures as well as snippets of information. A lot of effort has been put to introducing the training of Norwegian pilots in the US during the second world war.All in all well worth the visit when in Bodø. I'd recommend early morning when the museum opens to enjoy the exhibition almost alone.

A very comprehensive museum split into Civilian and Military sections. A great way to pass a few hours, particularly if the weather is bad.

This aviation museum is only a very short bus ride from the dock. You could probably walk it comfortably if you have the time.The museum itself is split into 2 areas. You enter the building at about the center. If you turn right you go to the area for civilian aviation and the early history of flight. If you go left you enter WW2 and later.The displays are well laid out and have plenty of English text for us English speakers. You can even go upstairs into what must have been the old control tower. The view over the airfield is fantastic. The airfield is operational and you may even catch a Norwegian Airforce F16 doing touch and goes.

We visited this fantastic museum and it was well worth the 17 hour train trip to the top of Norway. The aircraft display was well set out with a large amount of original aircraft including a wreck from the World War II German aircraft in the same sate it was located in. Some of the information could have been set out with English so it made sense but again whatever it was worth the visit.

Even if you are not in to planes you would fint this interesting. Lots of history, especially in the military part. Clean and tidy and just the right size for a couple of hours visit. Great alternative for a rainy day. Small souvenir shop and nice cafeteria too.

We visited the museum as part of a extended family trip in February. Our party consisted of people of ages from two to sixty. Everyone found something to enjoy in the exhibitions and/or the activities.
