Prairie Aviation Museum presents aircraft and aviation displays at Bloomington’s Central Illinois Regional Airport.

Its airpark brings visitors close to different types of aircraft, while indoor exhibits add context about their development and use.
The museum operates seasonally, with the current calendar showing a winter closure beginning in November and reopening in April. Check the latest schedule before driving out, especially if you want a special cockpit-access event. Allow for weather when exploring the outdoor aircraft and confirm museum directions rather than navigating to the airport’s passenger terminal.
