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, admission and FAQ pages support daily 9 a.m.-5 p.m. hours except Easter, Thanksgiving, Christmas Eve and Christmas. The former FAQ winter-hours conflict is no longer published.

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.
