Underwhelmed is definitely a good word to describe my experience at the San Diego Air & Space Museum. I love museums… but this one is not that great. It just wasn’t as memorable or inclusive as many museums are.
Yes, there cool exhibits with lots of great information, but it was all presented in such a boring and uninspiring way. And there wasn’t even that many exhibits! I thought this place was going to be at least twice as big as it ended up being. I had no problem with paying the admission at the door based on my expectations, but once I was inside I felt cheated. Not worth the money unless you are very much into air and space stuff.
I would only go back to check out the Da Vinci exhibit. I hear it’s actually pretty good.
