Located in Oshkosh, Wisconsin, at the site of the world's largest aviation event (EAA AirVenture) the Museum is one of the most extensive aviation attractions in the world, a year-round destination for the entire family. Come and explore our world-class displays and galleries. Marvel at aviation innovations in our collection of more than 200 historic airplanes. Spend time in one of our four movie theaters. Take a ride in a vintage airplane at Pioneer Airport-a real working aerodrome right out of the "golden age" of aviation. Witness a piece of history in the Eagle Hangar, our tribute to World War II aviation and get "hands on" in the KidVenture Gallery, our exciting interactive gallery for kids of all ages!

The Museum at EAA's World Headquarters is a history, aviation buffs must see. And, the gift shop will satisfy your desire for mementos or gifts. The Experimental Aircraft Association is the best organization going for the support of private (General Aviation) pilots, and is not limited to home-built aircraft. The extensive collection of WWII bomber art is, all by itself, worth the visit!

I had so much fun creating my gnome. The staff was super friendly and sooo helpful getting the creative juices flowing! Can’t wait to see the finished product after it’s been fired and painted! What a perfect way to spend a morning with my daughter and mother in law!

Peaceful park with paved walking and bike paths on Lake Winnebago. There's a beach, playground, tennis, pickle ball, fishing, boating with kayak and canoe rentals. There is picnic areas with lots of green space. Menominee Park Zoo is also located in the park and has free admission (donations accepted) The 8 acre zoo is very well maintained and has llamas, goats, peacocks, badgers, wolves, otters, turkeys, opossums, an albino raccoon ( a first for me), a beautiful chatty macaw and other animals. We enjoyed our visit to the park so much we agreed it was well worth the 1.5 hour drive from Milwaukee. Take a drive thru downtown Oshkosh and see if you can spot all 20 mini murals painted outside of various buildings. (a map of the mural locations can be found online)

Prices are great. Love the crowd excitement and the noise of the cars. Great place for families. I love that they video tape it.
