Do I need to go to the main gate at Dover AFB to visit the museum?

No, you don't! Since 2003 the museum has had its own entrance gate on Rt 9. Just use exit 91 on US 113/DE 1. For complete directions, click here.

 

Are guided tours available?

Yes, we have tour guides available daily. For groups of 10 or more please call (302) 677-5942 and we will assist you in setting up your tour.

 

When are the outside aircraft open for tours?

The C-141B and C-130 are open for self-guided tours when the weather is fair. The C-141B is also wheelchair accessible. Other aircraft may be opened if enough tour guides are available, especially on Saturdays during the summer, but because our tour guides are volunteers, we cannot guarantee the availability of inside tours. For safety reasons, the aircraft are closed if their inside temperature exceeds 100 degrees, so plan to come early on hot days.

 

Will my children enjoy a visit to the AMC Museum?

Absolutely! And because children's safety is important to us, we ask that parents or chaperones keep a close eye on the children in their care. We have free flight simulators for children 10 and up and a junior pilot's plane for a perfect picture opportunity for those 6 and under.

 

Is there a gift shop?

Yes, the museum store is a great place to buy aviation-related gifts and souvenirs. Click here to visit the online museum store.

Is food available at the museum?

Is the museum handicapped accessible?

Can I smoke at the museum?
