Western Museum of Flight explores Southern California aviation heritage at Torrance's Zamperini Field.
Aircraft, experimental designs, engines, and smaller artifacts show different aspects of aerospace development. The collection provides a focused museum visit for people interested in the engineering and stories behind flight, within an active airport setting.
Check the museum's current opening days before driving, as it does not operate every day of the week. Lecture events and group programs have their own arrangements. Follow the museum's directions to Airport Drive and remain within visitor areas rather than entering airport operations space.
