The place

About North American Aerospace Museum

North American Aerospace Museum is the current public identity at noramaerospace.org for the institution formerly branded Evergreen Aviation & Space Museum. Older image titles retain that former name and must be captioned as dated context.

The collection includes more than 150 aircraft, spacecraft and exhibits, including the Spruce Goose, SR-71, F-117 and Titan II with its original launch room.

The current visit and admission pages say daily 9 a.m.-5 p.m. except Easter, Thanksgiving, Christmas Eve and Christmas. A FAQ still says 10 a.m.-4 p.m. November-March; use the live visit page and reconfirm seasonal hours.

Official prices conflict: the dedicated admission page says $24 adult and $21 senior/veteran, while live visit/footer material says $26 and $22. Youth is $14, under 5 and active military are free. Confirm the live purchase price.
