Aviation buffs staying at the Comfort Inn Destin Florida, will enjoy a trip to the National Naval Aviation Museum located in Pensacola, FL on the Pensacola Naval Air Station. It’s an easy hour drive west on Highway 98 to the Pensacola Bay Bridge. Veer left onto Bayfront Parkway/Main Street. Turn left on Barrancas Avenue, left on South Navy Blvd and drive through the east gate of Pensacola NAS. Turn right on Taylor Rd. and continue about 1.5 miles. The Museum is ahead on the right.
The National Naval Aviation Museum is the largest Naval Aviation museum in the world and is the most visited museum in Florida. The Museum captures Naval Aviation's heritage and brings its story of challenge, ingenuity, and courage to you. Share in the excitement of Naval Aviation's rich history and see more than 150 beautifully restored aircraft representing Navy, Marine Corps, and Coast Guard Aviation. These historic and one-of-a-kind aircraft are displayed both inside the Museum's nearly 300,000 square feet of exhibit space and outside on its 37-acre grounds.
A must-see is the dazzling seven-story glass and steel atrium that showcases four A-4 Skyhawks in a diving formation used by the famous Blue Angels show team. View them at eye-level from the Second Deck. You’ll enjoy a full day of exhibits, tours, ‘flying’ in the 15-passenger Motion-based Flight Simulator, and take the Flight Line Bus Tour on a free tour of the aircraft displayed on the flight line behind the Restoration Hangar. Take a lunch break at the Cubi Bar & Café, decorated with over 1,000 squadron and unit plaques reassembled from the historic Officers' Club at Cubi Point in the Philippines. Admission is free! Hours of operation are 9:00am to 5:00pm, seven days a week, 362 days each year, except for Thanksgiving Day, Christmas Day, and New Year's Day.
