Lone Star Flight Museum
An aviation museum beside Ellington Airport where you can see WWII aircraft up close and pay to fly in planes like the B-25.
Moved from Galveston to Ellington Airport in Houston in 2017, the hangars display World War II bombers, fighter planes, and the Texas Aviation Hall of Fame. Most of the aircraft are still airworthy, and on select days you can pay to ride in classic planes such as the B-25. There are also flight simulators and interactive exhibits on aviation science. Admission is about $20. The museum is closed on Mondays and Tuesdays. It is on the way to Space Center Houston, so aviation enthusiasts can stop by.
Opening hours
Wed–Sun 10:00–17:00 (check the official website)
