Please note: the Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center is currently closed, as part of the Smithsonian's efforts to contain the spread of the COVID-19 virus.  We look forward to seeing you when we reopen.

Wow! That's a common statement from visitors when they enter the National Air and Space Museum's Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center.  Located near the end of Washington Dulles International Runways, the Udvar-Hazy Center is a must-see destination in northern Virginia.

The museum's massive exhibit spaces make it easy to social distance, while taking in some pretty amazing sites.  The Boeing Aviation Hangar has nearly 200 aircraft on display, including an Air France Concorde, helicopters, commercial and private airplanes, and more.  

Step into the McDonnell Space Hangar and feel like a kid in a candy store  when you see the Museum's collection of space artifacts, including Space Shuttle Discovery, the Apollo 11 Mobile Quarantine Facility, space suits, rockets, satellites, and space toys (to mention a few).

The Museum's restoration hangar has an overlook for watching the conservation work underway on a number of artifacts, including the B-26 Maurader Flak Bait, which flew more missions than any other American plane during World War II.
