Unofficial Air & Space Guide

Your independent pocket guide to the National Air and Space Museum in Washington, DC and the Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center in Chantilly, Virginia.

Choose the museum you’re visiting and the whole guide follows it: the objects on view in that building, its current exhibitions, curated tours, and scavenger hunts. No more guessing which hangar holds the Space Shuttle or the Blackbird.

FEATURED MISSIONS Start with icons like Apollo 11’s command module Columbia on the National Mall or the SR-71 Blackbird at Udvar-Hazy, then dig into the specifications, the history, and what to look for when you’re standing in front of the real thing.

GUIDED TOURS Follow curated routes stop by stop. Mark stops as visited, skip ahead, and pick up where you left off.

AUDIO NARRATION Tap Listen to hear the story behind an object while you look at it. Choose slow, normal, or fast narration.

EXPLORE THE COLLECTION Search the objects that Smithsonian records list on view at each museum. Filter by aircraft, spacecraft, rockets, engines, and more, browse current exhibitions, and explore the archive of objects not on display.

KIDS’ SCAVENGER HUNTS Clue-by-clue missions for ages 6–9 and 10–13 turn the galleries into a search for real artifacts.

OFFLINE MODE Download a museum before you go, so its objects, tours, hunts, and images work in galleries without signal.

PLAN YOUR VISIT Get directions to either museum and jump to the official visitor page for hours and passes.

ONE-TIME UNLOCK Download free, then unlock the complete guide for both museums with a single one-time in-app purchase. No subscription, no ads, no account, and no tracking. Family Sharing is supported.

ABOUT THE CONTENT Object information and images come from Smithsonian Open Access. Images appear only when their records are marked CC0 or public domain. Exhibits change, so check the museum’s official website before you visit.
