Future of Flight Aviation Center and the Boeing Tour
Located approximately 25 miles north of Seattle, the Future of Flight Aviation Center & Boeing Tour is the only public tour of a commercial jet assembly plant in North America. Known as the "Boeing Everett" facility, it is actually closer to the city of Mukilteo (see map below).

The Aviation Center, located at Paine Field, is where tickets for the tour are purchased, and bus loading begins.
The building also features interactive exhibits and displays in the 28,000-square-foot Aviation Center Gallery.
A limited quantity of same-day, non-reserved Boeing tour tickets are sold onsite through ticketing kiosks, beginning at 8:30 a.m. each day. Tickets tend to sell out rapidly June through September.
To ensure admission, it is best to reserve your ticket and tour time in advance online or by phone.
The tour lasts about 90 minutes, and a short movie is shown before boarding the busses. There is strict adherence to rules that forbid cameras, cell phones and other electronic devices, as well as food and drink. Height requirements are also enforced.
The opportunity to see actual assembly of Boeing 747, 777 and 787 airliners is unique, and well worth the time to take the tour.
