Museo Aeronáutico de Maracay

Museo Aeronáutico de Maracay, inaugurated on 10 December 1963 on the former Florencio Gómez National Airport site, preserves Venezuelan civil and military aviation in partnership with the Aviación Militar Bolivariana. Visitor sources describe more than 40 historical aircraft (a July 2025 local report says 56), including the El Río Caroní Flamingo replica, La Vaca Sagrada, Caudron G.3, B-25J Mitchell, DC-3, F-16, helicopters and other aircraft, plus simulators and a drone hangar. Public-access evidence conflicts: a specialist guide describes split weekday/weekend hours and free admission, while a local 2025 listing reports daily hours, paid entry and guided visits reserved by letter. Confirm current hours, access, payment and booking with the operator before travel. Detailed accessibility provisions are not published; contact the museum ahead if support is needed. Visitor address: Avenida 19 de Abril and Avenida Las Delicias, Maracay, Aragua, Venezuela; free parking is reported locally.
