I'm so thankful for the reviewers ahead of me/giving great advice on how to make this museum the most pleasurable/successful visit! I also called them directly for advice on when most crowded, etc. IMO, this is the ONLY way to do this museum to get the most enjoyment: 1) Go on a M-Wed when first opens, tickets in advance, be in line 20-30 mins early!! Go on a Thursday (we did) if need, can be hit/miss with crowds, NEVER a Fri-Sun/holiday. 2) Skip the exhibits when first pass security, go straight and do submarine. 3) If with kids like us, then go straight past more exhibits to the simulator rides - fabulous, esp G force!! Can buy tickets even onsight since kids wanted to ride more than once. 4) Then do exhibits, movies, Concorde - amazing!!! Cafe was also great, can order in advance but didn't take long otherwise. We spent 7 hours and it was fabulous, highly recommend!!
