This was such a great field trip. Frontiers of Flight is located near Love Field in Dallas, Texas.
Website: www.flightmuseum.com
At the time of our field trip, they are open 7 days a week and it's $12 for adults and $9 for kids 3 and over.
With the exception of some aircraft at the entrance, the entire museum is indoors and air conditioned. If you look at everything, it takes about 2 hours to get through the museum. There is also an indoor play area for toddlers/preschoolers, so factor that in the time you need to see everything (if you have a preschooler).
They have actual aircraft from early 20th century gliders to the Apollo 7 Command Module. There are displays on zeppelins, WWI, WWII, Korean War, Vietnam War, commercial jets... One of the retired Blue Angels jets is in the museum. There is a great spacecraft display, including the original Apollo 7, spacesuits, food for astronauts, the phases of spacecraft needed for the Apollo missions to the moon, a piece of rock from the moon, etc.
My kids loved this field trip.
