On a clear day you may get to see a 747 / 777 / 787 being test flown and seeing it land or take off, a real treat is seeing the 'Dreamlifter ' that carriers pieces of the 787 to the plant. I saw it

D Johnson

A must do tour if in (Boeing Tour)Seattle. No cameras or phones allowed doing the tour . However after the tour get your camera/phone out of the locker and take photos at the future of flight center.

Sean Maccarone-Reed

The tour is well worth it. Lots of behind the scenes info and a great walk for some exercise. Make sure to go up to the rooftop and check out the whole airfield .

Carlos Giron

Take the 5:00 tour on a weekday. They are more likely to be moving parts of the planes via cranes. Rare to see and a very cool thing to observe.

Alaa Shaker

Pretty impressive. One of the Seattle must-see attractions . Get the tickets online in advance, or at least call in to make sure they have a spot on the next tour to avoid the wait.

Gonz R

This is a must visit if you love planes and you are in Seattle! from time to time you can see a DreamLifter and Antonov 124 together!

Children must be 4 ft. (122 cm) to take the Boeing Tour . Explore the Family Zone: How Planes are Made. Make a 3-D project in our Maker Space. Take in a Weekend Family Workshop. Summer camps , too.

Robert Benjamin

The tour was excellent. That plant is massive. A little quick though. Try going in the morning when most employees in the floor. The museum ..... not that great. Reasonably priced items in store.

Christina Tyler Wenks

The Boeing museum and factory tour provide perspective on aircraft history, engineering , construction , and maintenance of aircraft — and help us passengers better justify cost of airline tickets.

Joseph Le

One of a kind tour of the amazing Boeing factory . Great views on this observation deck

Ron Wiener

Try to find out when one of the four Dreamlifter cargo planes will be on... Adds something special to the factory tour . Get tickets online in advance - they sell out! Kids must be 48" tall to tour .

Make sure you take the Boeing plant tour and you get to see their 777 and. 787 aircraft being assembled in different stages of assembly and it is pretty cool to see

Gary Dawson

Such and interesting tour . You don't realise the scale of the building until you see 4 x 747's being built in one building

Groucho Marx

They have lockers for rent. No cameras or electronic equipment including phones allowed inside. You'll be in supreme shit if you try to smuggle them in.

Sam Gr

The Boeing factory is the largest building/room in the world by volume. Really awesome tour of the assembly line !

ABC News

World News' Made in America: Boeing is the world's aerospace company and does a large portion of its manufacturing in the U.S. Visit their Future of Flight Museum and take a tour of the factory . Read more

Carmen

Fascinating lesson in engineering . Not to mention that the airplane assembly lines are cool

Tommy Yang

Definitely do the tour . Got to visit the 747-8, 777/787 assembly plant. Stunning.

Bruce W McKinnon

The Future of Flight is NOT a museum -- it is a facility (very cool) which focuses on planes being assembled at the Boeing Assembly plant + 2 stores: Boeing and Washington state memorabilia .

Mike S

Cameras not allowed on the tour but great photo ops from the parking lot . I wish I had my DSLR with me.

Richard Dickins

The tours are superb, but the Future of Flight exhibit is a little lacking. They do have a 747 Tail in there, it's huge...but not 'Future'!

Stefano Guidolin

The tour is really worth it, you get to see the wonder of how they make big planes !!

Christina Tyler Wenks

We witnessed aircraft assembled, customized, and repaired. An invoice for a replacement passenger-plane tail part gave us better understanding of airline ticket costs, construction and maintenance.

Kevin

Great tour . Too bad you can't take a camera or any bags. Well worth the visit.

Hooman Tabrizi

Amazing tour of the Boeing plant and insight into how these planes are assembled. I highly recommend it.

Abhijeet Gaiha

The tour of the Boeing Factory is a must-see attraction in the Seattle area. Outstanding tour guides as well .

Dan S

Great tour but you won't get to see inside of a 787 if that is what you were thinking

Hacchi329

Reserve the tickets online beforehand. It's faster and cheaper!

レーネ —ベラルデ

Get a leather bomber jacket with the logo of BOEING at the souvenir store .

Connie Chow

For tour , they don't thoroughly check to make sure you don't have electronics . Sneak a picture in lol

Tony Lualdi

Don't plan to grab lunch at cafe here limited selection will leave you hungry. Tour fun but visitor cntr could be better. If driving up from SEA study route well freeways lack signs to help find way.

Michael Wozniak

Loved the tour . Shame you can't take any photos.

Philip Saul

Check out the FoF store! Much better than the Boeing store
