Pioneer Air Museum

Great and interesting collection, every piece tells its story. Many models and historic objects. Friendly and knowledgable staff. They normally open during Summer. If you visit during off season, call them ahead of time. They might be able to specially open for you (just like me). Even though the museum looks a bit small comparing to the number of shown objects, it is packed with aviation history. Many of them are from previous aircraft accident. I highly recommend this museum for those who love aviation and those who study aircraft accident investigation.

With a cheap entry fee and lots of Alaskan aviation history, it's hard to pass this place up. There's an interactive helicopter exhibit for aviation enthusiasts of all sizes. If you need a place to get away from the big crowds, make a stop here.

Great place to just walk around and view the scenery. When available you can see some of Alaskas History or visit the shops.

This is located in pioneer park. It is a smaller museum but does display some interesting exhibitions.

They had some really good exhibits- but they completely left Joe Crosson out- Joe Crosson and Gilliam found Eilsens wrecked plane in Siberia - Joe was known as the Mercy Pilot for his role in settling Alaska- leaving him out was a blatant move - and we were not happy- my husbands father, Lon Dean Crosson, was Joes first cousin- we came all the way from Atlanta to follow Joes time here- very disappointed!! Joe Crosson’s archive collection is the largest at the Rasmussen Library- you need to spend some time researching!

First, visitors to Fairbanks should note that this is a seasonal museum; closed during the winter. This is a pretty small museum, but it the space is crammed full of interesting exhibits that are a thrill to aviation fans like myself. It does a good job of telling the story of flying in Alaska.

Interesting small museum of Alaskan aviation history. Recommend for aviation enthusiasts

Very worthwhile to attend while you are at the park. All kinds of planes, helicopters, and history. I saw and was able to sit in a Huey helicopter which was used during the Vietnam war. Very sobering experience looking at all of the past sorts of air flight, including a Hoovercraft. Lots of time was well spent setting this up. I was totally amazed. It's costs 4 bucks per person after 5:00pm. I was there before 5:00pm, but still my wife and I left a donation.
