The Air Mobility Command Museum
Nestled within the 3,700-acre air force site is the Air Mobility Command Museum.

Here are a few must-see attractions you won’t want to miss:
- Control Tower – Close your eyes as you listen to the static and crackle from the live radio chatter broadcast within the control tower, bringing you back in time to when the tower was in service 50 years ago! Find yourself at the top of the tower, captivated with the view of the museum’s planes, and watch arrivals and departures on the base’s runways and taxiways.
- Commemoration Park – The Dover Air Force Base’s mission is not only to safely fix and fly aircraft, but also to return America’s fallen with “dignity, honor, and respect.” Just outside the museum, the Commemoration Park was built to honor veterans and house artifacts, and is open to visitors who wish to view and pay their respects.
- Aircraft Simulators – Kids will love this one! Strap into an interactive flight simulator and test your flying skills as you step into a virtual aircraft and launch up, up, and away into the sky!
- Board the Aircrafts – Don’t just stand in awe at the 30+ various aircrafts when you can actually board them! Step into America’s aviation history and get a closer look inside cargo haulers, fighters, helicopters, and even a presidential aircraft!
