Concessions and merchandise are also available. We are a cashless venue. Chair service, concessions, and merchandise are provided by the Naval Aviation Museum Foundation, and proceeds support the Museum and Foundation programs.

We recommend visitors use sun protection. Hearing protection is recommended for those people with sensitive hearing.
