How wonderful it was for my friend Jenny to bring me to this Air Force museum to walk around and look at all the planes throughout history was marvellous. Well absolutely caught me off. Guard was a wreck that was brought up from the bottom of the ocean. I highly suggest putting this place on your bucket list when visiting Sweden you’ll not be disappointed and you can walk around Forever in a day I did get to see my SAAB DRAKEN , this plane was a childhood favourite of mine rightly dubbed the dragon never in my wildest dreams. Did I believe I’ve ever seen one of these with my own eyes but yet here I was once again blown away by Sweden.
One of the greatest museums in Sweden. A must for anyone with the even the slightest interest in aviation and military history. Can easily spend an entire day there. Also great fun for kids with lots of activities. And make sure to go on the guided tours and special events when available.
A stop off the beaten path in Swedish winter, took a visit here to learn a bit about their military history while on a visit to Sweden.
The Museum is a good size, with tons of planes from different eras. They also had exhibits on life during the Cold War. The gift shop had a good number of souvenirs worth exploring and the cafeteria served locally sourced food, which was delicious.
If you are in Stockholm or around this area and are looking for something to do, then I’d definitely recommend this.

Spent a really nice afternoon with my husband and our 16 year old son. Lots to see, very clean, well signed in both Swedish and English. We could hastened a bit longer, but although it was air-conditioned, it was still a bit warm. It would have been nice with a few water fountains. Otherwise, we really enjoyed our visit, lots to do for all ages!
My biggest gripe is that the English versions for the texts are technically available, but much more cumbersome to read on your phone after scanning QR codes. Also, the exhibition is a bit smaller and especially more disorganized than I would have thought.
Otherwise, the museum is good, but I expected something a little different. I would have expected more technical details about the evolution of planes. On the flipside, there was much more about connecting human stories than I thought, which is also great, just of less interest to me personally.
