if you are into classic military and civilian aircraft of a by gone age then don't give this one a miss! - I found the Polish Aviation Museum Krakov simply one of the best aviation museums I've been to, If you like Russian Cod War hard wear and have an interest in the Polish air force and aircraft industry it is a must see. Sharing space outside include notable Cold war era aircraft from the West, including a pristine example of an F-4E Phantom, a Mirage V and an extremely rare complete example of the F-105 Thunderchief. But for the outside visitor I think the biggest draw will be the row upon row of Migs and Sukhoi aircraft, from the early Mig 15 to the first supersonic Mig 19, and to the illustrious Mig 21 and brutal Mig 23. And from the Sukhoi stable we have a Su 7, 20, and 22. You also find example of unique one off experimental aircraft designed by PZL among too many gems to mention. Excellent value for money and because many of the exhibits are outdoors are easier to photograph if that's your thing.

Don't miss this hidden treasure - Very large and interesting exhibition with a variety of flights from different eras probably over 200 different aircraft and helicopters. A minus was that everything was not available in English so hard to know what everything was. Barking inside and outside and in hangars. Even a person who is not interested in aviation enjoys this. A little difficult to get there municipal and it was a bit poorly signposted but well worth a visit.

Unique aircraft collection - The Krakow Aviation Museum is an essential stop for history and aviation enthusiasts. With a wide range of aircraft and engines spanning the period of the First World War through to the 1990s, it offers a detailed perspective on the evolution of aviation over time. The variety of specimens on display allows visitors to completely immerse themselves in the history of aviation, from the First World War to the 1990s. Vast presence of Warsaw Pact planes. Spending four hours immersed in this museum is a satisfying experience full of interesting ideas. However, it is worth noting that some of the aircraft displayed outside require maintenance, which may be a point of concern for more experienced aviation enthusiasts. Ultimately, the Krakow Aviation Museum is a fascinating and inspiring place that is definitely worth a visit.

Museum good organisation only fair - Museum very interesting and good experience. Ticket purchase fine and downloaded successfully. However, Trip Advisor advertises Krakow Card included and skip the line and both were greeted with total blank looks at the museum.

Never book with this company! - Tickets were never emailed over and when trying to call no one answered the phone. Absolutely ridiculous service and we had to pay AGAIN as we had no other option. Never use this service to book this trip. We were left stressed and out of pocket!! The place its self is absolutely beautiful! It’s a must see place
