Can I go to the Boeing factory and buy the ticket at the entrance or must i book in advance. How much does it cost ?

Are there any website to get coupons or discounts for the Boeing factory visit ?

Answer 1

The Museum of Flight is near Boeing Field just south of Seattle, about 10-15 minutes from downtown. We're members there, it's a great musuem...be sure to check out the World War exhibits.

The Boeing Factory tour takes place in Everett, WA, about a 30-45 minute drive north from downtown Seattle (depending on traffic). They basically take you into one of the hangars where a plane is being assembled and briefly talk about the history of Boeing and how a plane is assembled.

Answer 2

Boeing has several factories, the more important of which deal with civilian airliners in Seattle. I suppose you refer to the Museum of Flight in Seattle, which is independently run and financed. Part of the old Boeing factory is within the premises. Advance ticket purchase it not necessary.

Answer 3

there are two boeing factories, one is called Boeing the other is Paine field in everett. Paine field has the largest continuous build in the northern hemisphere/
There are also 2 museums of flight, I don't know about the one in seattle, but the one in everett isn't very good.
Boeing Feild and Paine field are about half an hour apart You want to schedule tours for Paine field in Advance

Answer 4

NO The flight museum is not connected to the factory and it is not the same thing.
