I enjoyed it
Air and Space in Downtown (ASD) vs Air and Space Udar-Huzay (ASUH) in Dulles. One of my fave musuems is the ASD. I love flying, flight, etc. I recently (within the past week) went to ASUH and here are my impressions. ASD and ASUH are DIFFERENT but with similar themes -- air and space. For ASD, I love seeing the exhibits that explain air and space as it developed through time. To me the ASUH is more planes and aircraft that don't ... Kvandy, a user of Tripadvisor.

This can be a great day trip.
We just took my husband to the new NASM in Chantilly to celebrate his 50th birthday. Parking was very easy, and while you do pay a fee to park, there is no admission to the museum itself. We arrived a bit after opening and after a ... A TripAdvisor Member, a user of Tripadvisor. Read full review on tripadvisor

Loved the Space Shuttle
We visited the Udvar-Hazy Center on Saturday July 23rd. Parking was very easy, and as it was pointed out you do pay a $12 fee to park but there is no admission to the museum itself.

I am a local and have been to this musuem twice. It is not as polished as other Smithsonian Musuems. They do not have the really nice brochures and maps that the other Smithsonians have. The people at the information desk are not as ... VaBelle35, a user of Tripadvisor. Read full review on tripadvisor

Udvar-Hazy is Ho Hum
I would not recommend this as a museum to go out of your way to visit. I think even hard-core aviation afficianados will find this place a sleeper. If I could pick one word to describe it, it would be "sterile". It's a long drive (if you are in D.C. as a tourist) and it's quite a haul for a lot of people who actually live in the metropolitan area. Overall, I wasn't impressed by the types of aircraft displayed. The B-1 is OK, as is the Concord and space shuttle. But previous poster is right - why can't they at least provide a platform and let people take a peek inside?? Everything in this museum is very "hands off" - ... 2Travelers2go, a user of Tripadvisor.
