Fantasy of Flight

Fantasy of Flight is an aviation museum in Florida that houses a large collection of restored vintage aircraft, including military and civilian planes spanning different eras. Many of these aircraft are still airworthy and kept in operational condition.

The museum was founded in the mid-1990s after its collector relocated his aircraft following hurricane damage to a previous location. The Florida site became the permanent home for this collection of restored planes.

The place shows how people have experienced and understood flight across different periods, from early aircraft to later designs. You can see how aviation shaped travel and exploration in everyday life over time.

The museum operates on limited schedules and is only open during certain months of the year. It is best to check in advance whether the facility will be open on your planned visit date.

The facility maintains functional runways, including a seaplane runway, where many restored aircraft can actually take off and fly. This sets it apart from typical museums where planes are simply on display.
