The March Field Air Museum is located near Riverside, California, at the site of the former March Air Force Base (now the March Air Reserve Base). See area map below on this page.

The museum includes an impressive collection of over 70 historic aircraft, displayed both inside hangars and outside galleries. In addition, the museum features numerous exhibits, over 30,000 aviation artifacts, photographs, poster collections, and a Library Education Center.

A gift shop is also located on site. Parking is free, and small admission cost is charged.

We have personally toured this fine facility, and enjoyed meeting the friendly, knowledgeable staff and volunteers. We highly recommend a visit to the March Field Air Museum.
