"One-of-a-Kind Museum for Aviation Geeks What began as a large collection of Delta Air Lines artifacts in 1995, the Delta Flight Museum reopened in 2014 as a state-of-the-art facility for visitors on the company's campus near Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport. The historic Hangar 1, once the largest in the southeast, was formerly used as a maintenance facility. Here you'll find the company's original Douglas DC-3, a replica of the Huff Daland Duster and The Spirit of Delta, the airline's first Boeing 767, which was purchased by employees in 1982. Learn more about each machine with touch screen displays and admire the artifacts from over the years. Inside the Spirit of Delta, you'll find original seats and flight attendant uniforms from Delta's tenure as well as the airlines it acquired in its history like Western, Northwest and Pacific Northern. There's even a flight simulator, which costs extra. The museum is open every day except Wednesday, from 10 am to 4:30 pm during the week and 12 to 4:30 pm on Sunday. Guided tours run at 1 pm on Tuesdays. You'll be required to show photo ID upon entering the facility. Admission is $12.50 for visitors but military and Delta employees receive a discount. It's a great stop on your way to or from the airport."

Came here in January 2018 as part of a US Trip that had me in Atlanta for a few days and I was really excited to visit this museum! It did not disappoint me! Loved my visit, just a shame the weather wasn't on my side to allow me to visit the outside aircraft. I am certainly going to revisit here when I'm next visiting the US!

A fun little museum that's nice and cheap if you don't go for the simulator, which I did not this time. The 747 is fantastic. It's neat getting to see so many parts of a plane that you're not normally allowed to. The Spirit of Delta in the hanger is similar, though it has more of a focus on the history of Delta rather than the plane itself. Some things are a tad sparse at the moment because of the renovation, but what was there was pretty good.

A friend and I went to the museum on 9/22 (Sunday). The museum lived up to all expectations and was worth the admission and the flight simulator price. All of the museum staff was excellent. The simulator instructor was extremely knowledgeable and helpful. No complaints at all and will be visiting again in the future.

Cool place but the museum was unfortunately closed for an event! We were lucky enough to check out the 747-400 which was cool! Unfortunately the gift shop closed 5 minutes early so we weren’t able to go inside! I certainly will be back and hope to see the rest next time!

@kplusds Our youngest is in pilot school/training - and we brought them here to get a close up view of “the big planes” to give them inspiration. We first explored the 747 at the outside part. What a cool exhibit that shows cut-aways of the interior. Once we were done with the outside, we made our way to the interior section. Make sure you follow the fence line where you parked and not cut through the parking lot. It’s a tad unclear - but you’ll see it. The inside had some great exhibits on the history of Delta and tons of historical uniforms and accessories. We took tons of photos! The gift shop was well stocked with everything Delta - with prices being very affordable. This is a great place to take the kids to see inside and outside of the big planes. We spent couple of hours here just casually walking around.

While the whole museum is going through a renovation, only the 747 section is available to visitors for now. Preservation of the aircraft is nice inside. It’s awesome that they made the cables connected from the cockpit to the fin visible. P.S. Choice of souvenirs is limited right now.

So cool to do this while waiting for a flight to leave or come in. We had a great time and loved getting to learn the history of delta and walk through the older planes. We went on a weekend afternoon but it wasn’t busy. The staff were so lovely and kind.

Took my girls here Saturday and they loved it! It was educational and something for us to do to get out of the house it was very affordable and now my youngest that was afraid to get on a flight wants to get on a airplane now!
