You can spend a few minutes or a few hours, depending on your interest. You could just stop by to see the beautiful architecture and renovations, you could take a brief self guided tour in under an hour, or you could spend several hours with the pleasant and very informed staff who can take you to see vintage equipment and new and old planes in the hangar and off the runway. I highly recommend a visit.

is there a gift shop inside , do you sell small steel airplanes
A:
I believe they do sell the small steel airplanes in the gift shop. Southwest 737s I believe. It probably varies though. I have purchased a lot of small things like that over the years there.
