Since the dawn of civilization, man has dreamed of flight and once air travel became commonplace people began looking to the stars.
It is a common dream, shared by many people and cultures. A glimpse into aircraft's past says a lot about humanity's present and future.
Nestled in historic Balboa Park, the San Diego Aerospace Museum features a look at the past, present and future of aviation and space flight.
Tourists and aviation enthusiasts alike are sure to find something of interest in the museum‘s state-of-the-art displays, which feature everything from the Wright Brother's airplane, to the Spirit of St. Louis, the Apollo 9 Command Module and modern fighters.
Once visitors have their fill of the exhibits, they can make a stop in the air and space museum's gift shop. The San Diego Aerospace Museum has a well-stocked gift shop perfect for any consumer interested in aviation history. Guests can choose from a wide array of gifts to commemorate their visit, including books to spark their interest in aircraft and aviation history.
The San Diego Aerospace Museum is conveniently located within a short distance of several other San Diego attractions and landmarks, including the Centro Cultural de la Raza, the Museum of San Diego History, the Reuben H. Fleet Science Center and the San Diego Zoo. Thus, the museum makes for a great stop for aeronautically inclined tourists with a bit of extra time and money on their hands. Additionally, Balboa Park offers a $59 per day pass for adults, which includes access to all the aforementioned attractions and several others, freeing up extra funds for purchasing souvenirs at the gift shop.
For even more budget-conscious travelers, the museum allows visitors to take photographs of the replicas and exhibits, though commercial use of these photos is strictly prohibited. Still, if buying postcards, books or key chains is not of interest, a quick photograph next to the Spirit of Saint Louis is an inexpensive, fun reminder of a day in the San Diego Aerospace Museum.
Additionally, if traveling to the California coastline or going on museum tours currently is not possible, the San Diego Aerospace Museum also features an online catalog of its most interesting gift items. Included among these are new publications Those We Honor, a biographical collection looking at aerospace pioneers which retails for $19.95, and San Diego: Air Capitol of the West, a pictorial history of San Diego's place in aviation history which currently can be preordered for $40.
Also, prints of all the museum's collected plane photographs and diagrams can be purchased via an online form for between $18 and $56, depending on the size and format of the photos, which are available both in print and digital formats.
All in all, the San Diego Aerospace Museum is a worthwhile visit for the flight-minded consumer who is looking to spend a few dollars to take home a little piece of history and enjoy a day in one of the historic destinations of sunny San Diego.
