You will not be impressed with this place at all. Most of the airplanes are falling apart and the place looks to be in disrepair, museum portion is not impressive.

Not bad for a quick diversion if you're in the area - but don't go out of the way. The aircraft, etc. have not been maintained very well. Not much on the inside (museum) - & the grounds have many low-lying areas - so when it rains, there's quite a bit of flooding. Again, not bad - but more like... More

my niece took many pictures--she has a degrees including photography and this location gave her many interesting objects to photograph from very close parts to groupings and more--needs more funding for upkeep--could be much nicer

I've never been inside as it is always closed. My 4 year old likes to see the rocket displays and play on the playground there.

A nice collection of planes and rockets near Langley AFB in Hmampton, VA. It needs more care and loving though.

The aircraft are neglected. The dome building used to be a museum. When I last went in there, the City of Hampton was using it as their office annex. Air Power Park was nice, now it is not worth your time.

I remember going there as a kid. You were able to walk up to the various jets, and sometimes even climb in where the jet engines were. Now, they are fenced off (I understand why), and the whole property appeared not kept up. Some areas had standing water. I guess it is ok if you are passing by, but don't... More

Some of the items there are out in the wheather and they are showing signes of neglect. The signage is horrible. The people inside do not offer much information about the park... More

Power park volunteers are very knowledgeable pilots with extensive information to share on aviation travel. Must be a thousand models inside building. It is all completely free!!!
