Housed in the historic art deco former Houston Municipal Airport, the 1940 Air Terminal Museum showcases the rich heritage of civil aviation, including the nation’s airlines, general aviation and business aviation. The story of Houston's place in aviation history is also included in the exhibits. Interesting exhibits showcase the airlines that once flew in and out of the terminal, with flight attendant outfits, pilot uniforms, photos and videos. Special events include Wings and Wheels on the third Saturday of each month where you can get up close to real airplanes like Piper Cubs and talk to pilots. Open Tuesday through Sunday. Admission is $5 for adults and $2 for children.
