- “Can we just show up?” No. Every visit needs a reservation, by phone or through the online booking link.
- “How long should we allow?” Two hours for the show, plus about 20 minutes driving from downtown Eureka Springs.
Official and legacy websites
The official current website of the Aviation Cadet Museum is aviationcadetmuseum.com. The museum’s legacy website, aviationcadet.org, remains online and is operated by the same organization; it still hosts the donation page and the online store. These are one museum, not two. Where the two sites differ, aviationcadetmuseum.com is authoritative.
