To mark the start of the summer holidays, the Military History Museum invites you to a special day of experiences at its Military Aviation Museum in Zeltweg on July 6, 2025, from 10 a.m. to 18 p.m. Admission is free to all visitors, young and old. The event promises a varied program specifically tailored to aviation enthusiasts, introducing the history and technology of military aviation in Austria.
The museum offers a wide range of interactive activities for younger visitors aged six to twelve: They can take part in challenging puzzle rallies, test their skills on a challenging obstacle course, engage in creative crafts, and demonstrate their flying skills by throwing paper airplanes. As a reward for completing the challenges, young participants will receive not only a balloon but also a special prize. Throughout the day, guided tours will also be offered, specifically tailored to families with children, which explain the exhibits in a child-friendly way.
A special guided tour program is also offered for adults and those interested in aviation, focusing on aviation technology and historical aspects. These tours offer deeper insights into the approximately 25 historic aircraft, including iconic machines such as the Saab J-29F "Flying Barrel" and the Saab 35OE "Draken," as well as an Alouette III. In an exhibition area of 5.000 square meters, visitors can also marvel at aircraft engines, jet engines, radar systems, equipment used by the air force and signal troops, uniforms and special pilot clothing, as well as numerous historical photographs. The Zeltweg Military Aviation Museum, a branch of the Vienna Museum of Military History since 2012, celebrates its 20th season this year and is open until October 26, 2025.
