Bring your family to the moffett field museum during the holidays!

The museum features thousand of artifacts illustrating the history of military and research aeronautics at Moffett Field including historic aircraft, models, photographs, uniforms, weapons and personal memorabilia of the people who were stationed and worked there.

The museum is kid friendly. While the museum exhibits are a bit heavy in some ways, most kids enjoy seeing the aircraft, military gear and technology exhibits. Military personnel and their families lived at Moffett Field and the exhibits reflect the full range of their work and home activities.

The museum has two exhibits aimed primarily for kids:

• The Kiddy Cockpit lets kids climb into a pint-sized airplane and take the controls with lots of switches and dials to play with. 
• The Train Room is a large HO scale model railroad built by Navy Air personnel in the early 1980s. The Santa Clara, Gilroy and Fresno Railroad mainline is almost 300 feet long wrapped around the room in a j-shaped configuration on four levels. The layout features exquisite scenery, fun  scenes and lots of trains. The Train Room is popular with kids of all ages.

The museum, including the Train Room, are decorated with lots of fun holiday decorations that can only be seen between now and the end of the year!

The museum is normally open Wednesday through Saturday from 10am to 3pm. The Train Room is normally open only on Saturday but will be open additional days during the holiday season.

The train room will be updated soon but we hope to be open every day the museum is open during the school holiday period.

The museum will be closed on Christmas Eve, Saturday 12/24/2022. We will be open on New Year's Eve 12/31/2022.
