Military History Museum - airport Berlin-Gatow

Great museum, free of charge.
So far we have been there twice, the expositions are changing and we saw some new stuff which is great, we even got a book related to one of them for free. Parking and entrance is free and you get a map once you start. For all descriptions English translation is provided. There is a small shop on premises where you can buy vintage models, some souvenirs and also eat something. The offer is very limited, it's basically a sausage with a piece of bread (very tasty though!)/ instant meal, but you can also bring your food and drinks, and have a mini picnic - plenty of benches and tables outside to do so and the area is huge. Strongly recommend!

Awesome flight and military museum. Entrance is free which is amazing. The aircraft inside and outside are awesome. So many different types of planes, helicopters and various other military equipment (missiles). About 45 min from center of Berlin by public transportation. Worth the visit!!!

Very nice museum, if you like airplanes and history. If you are really into it, i think you could stay like 3-4 hours to watch and enjoy everything there.

Open air museum with quite a big collection of airplanes, mostly from German air force. There is an exhibition in hangar with very interesting pieces like He 111 and reconstructed Fw 190.

Must visit place for the History/Military Lovers. The place is free of cost, you’ll get a paper map as soon as you enter the Museum and you can visit all the Hangars/Spots by yourself. They have Equipments ranging from Radar to Planes to V1 Rocket (Replica Perhaps) and you’ll find every single information on the Information Plates before each equipment. I was happy seeing the Flak 88, BF 108 (Not 109), He 111 and many more! I just wish they had Ju87 and BF109s as well.

Tip : Don’t miss out on the Hangar 3, that has the best information and equipments available.

To Reach : You can take the X34 Bus from Alt-Kladow to reach the Museum.

Time : The whole Trip might take 1-4 Hours depending on how much interest you have.

Refreshments: There is a small restaurant too inside to sit, reenergise with a quick snack and drink.

If TL;DR - Do visit the place, they have maintained it in the best possible way, and you will not regret going there.

Quite complicated to get there from Berlin but worth the trip. Very quiet place, free, in the countryside with a lot to see and read about the German army and the two world wars. You can also eat and drink there, the neighborhood seems nice enough to spend the whole day there!

Big and diverse collection of (mostly) military plans and some different equipment (mostly from Cold War period, some addition from WWII and earlier). Minimal information on-site, best to have at least some knowledge about avation. Indoor exposition provided with better description of items.
