The National Museum of World War II Aviation has been recognized by Tripadvisor as a 2022 Travelers’ Choice “Best of the Best” award winner for Top Attractions, ranking in the top one percent of attractions.

“Based on a full year of Tripadvisor reviews, the Travelers’ Choice Award honors the best in travel, recognizing the places that delivered the most exceptional experiences,” according to the notification received by the museum. “You’re in the top 1% of things to do worldwide.”

“This recognition acknowledges the ongoing work and dedication of our more than 200 museum volunteers who lead tours, design and build exhibits, restore aircraft and artifacts, and keep the museum in top shape,” said Bill Klaers, President and CEO of the museum. “This is their award, and it’s great recognition for the jobs they do every day.”

The National Museum of World War II Aviation documents the role that military aviation played in the emergence of the United States as a world power during the Second World War. Its primary mission is education. The museum presents the story of World War II Aviation in ways that are engaging and enlightening for all ages and knowledge levels.

The museum’s website has detailed information on aircraft in the collection, displays and exhibits, and the frequent events and activities sponsored by the museum: https://www.worldwariiaviation.org/

Most of the aircraft have been meticulously restored to flying condition, and many are flown at the museum on public demonstration days, and during the Pikes Peak Regional Air Show.

The museum places special emphasis on the education of young people. The cornerstone of this effort is a highly successful K-12 program that reaches beyond the walls of the museum and into the classroom where students learn STEM concepts within the historical context of the World War II era.

The museum is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization.
