Booked our tickets online and travelled 2 hours to the tour. We took my dad who is a retired Boeing employees and we walked down memory lane. We did see a lot in the museum, and we were able to watch planes test run on the flight deck. The tour itself was informative but I was just expecting something different. We didn't walk in the bays, or see the planes up close. Which I thought we would do. But we were in a viewing area on a high floor of the factory while they talked about everything. Pictures allowed in the museum but not on the tour. The bus to and from the factory was very clean and beautiful but super warm inside. If you're claustrophobic the elevator will be interesting since they put 15 ppl at a time. You can't go to the bathroom for the whole tour is about 80min. Parking was free and easily accessible

This is the tour of the actual Boeing factory. Even if you aren't into planes, it's pretty interesting. Book your tour online and as much in advance as possible. Note that you can't bring anything with you on the tour - no purses, no phones, etc. The tour starts with a presentation and some Q&A in an auditorium. You then board a bus and taken to one of the hangars to see the factory floor and planes, literally, being built. The buses were quite nice and comfy. As you drive to the hangar, you get to see some of the vast campus that is Boeing. And one of the tour guides talks to you about all that you are passing. You then walk down some stairs, enter a long hallway, and then go up an elevator. And now you see the factory floor and how they put the planes together in pieces. The tour guide walks you through all of the steps, the various plane parts you see, etc. And then it's back on the back and back to where you started. There is an exhibit area that you can explore after your tour. And, of course, there is a gift shop. Overall, definitely fascinating and interesting. I just wish we had gotten the other tour guide as he seemed more knowledgeable and less about just being flashy.

Previously visited in 2017 but failed to write a review. Back then had a great time learning about the history of flight, with some amazing facts, like the many bakeries inside the factory, Peet's Coffee shops (Starbucks lost the account because they wanted their huge banner with their name on it), flower shops, multiple restaurants, gym, massage parlor, medical bays, postal services - it's a small city in there. The Everett factory employs 30,000 people alone, with other branches internationally. This factory is hailed as the world's largest building in the world by volume, and touring it again was fascinating, although I will say our guide in 2017 was more entertaining and was a better storyteller. I actually learned a lot on my own online reading the history of the place than on this recent tour, but it was still pretty neat to see a working factory building enormous airplanes. PARKING: Free parking in the large open-air lot. LOCKERS: you cannot take your phone or purse on the factory tour, there are some clear lockers outside you can put your things in. If you have a large backpack, there are large lockers, but it was annoying to see someone put a tiny purse in the largest locker when there were smaller sized lockers available, but you know, people. Lockers were free of charge. COURSE OF THE TOUR: You watch a video before you walk out of the theater, then onto a tour bus. You have to be able to get on/off the bus stairs, it's not a wheelchair-friendly tour. The bus takes you to a hangar, where you take an elevator down into the depths to the miles of tunnels, then back up to the factory, where you can watch planes being built in sections. After the tour, the bus takes you back to the main entrance. Tour lasts about 90 minutes, if even. The nice thing about the tour is even if you are last off the bus or at the end of the crowd, the order gets reversed when you get onto an elevator, then you get out first, so even if you are in the back of the pack, you will always get to see the planes or be near the guide as the groups are pretty small, about 15. Get there on time, pronto. Not a minute late. They are not kidding. We got there right on the minute, then they turned the lights off in the theater and we were stumbling around in the dark trying to find our seats. COST/BOOKING: Make reservations online through their website or call them. If you don't book in advance, the tour may be sold out as it's pretty popular - it's possible to change your time if you call in person, like we did. Our price with a discount/promo was $33.00 a person as of May 2025. We didn't need to tip our guide as we weren't allowed to bring our purses (whoohoo - I say whoohoo because we were tipped to death on our cruise out of Seattle, so pretty much broke). SHOPPING: gift shop with all sorts of airplane-related things, including Lego sets. IS IT WORTHY OF A REPEAT VISIT? Since I've been there twice, I'd say no, but if you are taking out-of-towners or people who have not been there before, or someone who loves planes or factories, then yes. If you get a good guide like I did in 2017 it makes you want to go back (as I have, thinking it would be the same) but on this tour, not so much but still a unique tour nonetheless.

Joe M. 's tours are the Boeing 7-10-7, and the 10 stands for 10/10!! When we got to the museum, we were able to easily check-in and the front desk staff was super friendly. They helped us put our phones in the lockers as you're not allowed to take photos or videos on the tour and we were able to easily retrieve them afterwards. Before the tour starts they show you a video about the history of Boeing which was a bit cheesy, but admittedly very cool. I would recommend getting there early to ask the tour guide questions- you're able to do so along the tour as well! You hop on a coach bus for a short ride to the factory and get to see some awesome planes along the way. At the hangar we got to go on the observation deck to see a top view of the factory floor. Joe M. was very knowledgeable and talked us through the different parts of the assembly line and we got to see 777x being put together which was so cool!! The entire tour was ~90 mins, but really flew by!! We spent some time after the tour browsing the gift shop (great selection of merch), museum floor (they had tons of interactive exhibits for kids and even had tables for kids to color), and the sky deck (take the stairs/elevator up to the 2nd floor and you'll have an awesome view of the planes). The museum is super kid friendly, but even adults (like myself) had a ton of fun and will learn something new! Overall, I was blown away with the Future of Flight! I would definitely recommend visiting Boeing Future of Flight and taking a tour (with Joe M. if you can) for both plane enthusiast and non-enthusiasts alike!

The factory tour is interesting but you only get to see two assembly areas. The guide was nice but when people asked questions he didn't use the microphone repeat the question and his answer. The main facility is nice and the observation deck gives you a nice view of the airfield. Expect to spend at least two hours on the guided tour and main building.

True Boeing experience - highly recommend There is a factory tour (duration 80 min), where you can see assembly line. The tour guide will share with you a lot of interesting information about everything, they will also answer all of your questions. There is a small museum where they show some videos and history about planes creation, there is also a Space zone where Boeing ISS model is shown, you can enter inside one. There is a souvenir store inside, free wi-fi is available. FOOD: there is on-site cafe with a clam chowder, they also serve pizzas, sandwiches, salads, yoghurt and some snacks. HOW TO GET THERE: You can use public transport (metro+bus) from the Seattle (approx 1.5h one way), it takes approximately 30min drive there by car. If you're getting there with the public transport, be ready go upon the hill for 15 minutes. I think, the museum should be connected by the transport with a bus stop.

A must visit for any aviation enthusiast. Boeing Future of Flight was closed for a long time after the Covid. And they reopened in 2024 I guess. It offers an exclusive behind-the-scenes look at the Boeing 777 and their latest version 777-X assembly line.This is a Guided Tour that last for around 90 minutes. Will be taken in a bus to the factory. It was so exciting for us to take a closer look at the interiors of the Boeing factory. Our guide was a very experienced and knowledgeable person. He has explained the history of Boeing and significance of the Everett Factory in terms of the advancements made by the Boeing in the Aviation sector. So thrilling to see the active assembly line where the 777-X were being built. It's very interesting to learn their process and the steps they follow before Boeing hand off the planes to different airlines. Must a very unique experience. Tour tickets will give you access to their Gallery that features the current and the future Boeing products. So many installs showcasing Boeing's Legacy of Innovation. You can also learn more about their new products and services - that includes space travel, sustainable fuels, autonomous aerial systems etc. You will have access to the Sky Deck which offers a panoramic views of Paine Field airport, the Everett Factory, and the North Cascades mountains. It's an amazing view on a Summer day. if you are lucky enough you will get to see the flight activities of commercial and private airplanes form Paine Field. Like I said, it's a great and unique experience, with the time and money! Don't miss it!

Grand and massive, wow! We were fortunate that the factory tour was again reignited when we were in Seattle on vacation. As soon as I knew this was an option, I booked a tour for our family. Driving through the factory towards the parking lot, you cannot help but look at the massive buildings where they build the aircraft. Coming into the Future of Flight building you are greeted with a massive map of the filed and surrounding are on the floor, which was very cool. The store itself sells cool Boeing merch. It was really nice to see the aircraft yokes of Boeing throughout the years inside the store. After a few minuities of briefing, we are whisked to the factory. Along the trip, you see a multitude of planes in different stages of construction. Walking under the tunnels and up on an elevator we finally were in the factory. The thing was so massive, I had a millisecond of vertigo. We were situated along the assembly line of the 777, flanked by the final inspection of the 787 Dreamliner. It was just cool to see the assembly line of Boeing. No photos or videos though while inside the factory for security reasons. We then went back to the Future of Flight building and viewed there museum there. Coming up to the Sky Deck, it was cool to see planes come and go. Overall an excellent thing to see when Seattle, especially now that the tours are back and running.

Painting buildings for the planes.

Would go back very fun!!! lots of interesting stuff to do on a tour and learn about new plane they are building in the factory.

Biggest building

I was very disappointed that the paid tour only spent most of the time viewing from a factory's observation deck. No planes were actually being assembled during the tour.

Only twice in my life have I encountered multiple wild snakes in an approximately 20 minute window…read morewhile hiking. The first time was in Montana while I was conducting geology field work, the snakes that time were rattlesnakes. This time I encountered two garter snakes here at Narbeck Wetland Sanctuary while hiking the Perimeter Trail (South portion of the trail). The first one I heard surprised me because it was right next to the trail. The second one was making noise while traveling through brush on the side of the trail as well. That cutie I managed to get a picture of. The edge of the water in the sanctuary is full of cattails in a number of places. At one woody portion of trail I noticed a gnarly tree by the water and decided to venture closer to check it out. I noticed a Hummingbird high in the tree by some cattails. Just this morning back at the house the hummingbirds were collecting the stuffing from cattails to use for nesting material, fun to encounter another hard working hummingbird the same day in a wetland setting. I made my way closer to the water to get a better look and heard a critter flop into the water, twas a big amphibian I managed to miss with my camera. Song birds sang and water fowl called throughout the duration of my visit here today in the mid-afternoon. A carved wooden sign is located at the driving entrance/exit to the park and is artistically well done, evoking a sense of magic that I have found to accompany wetland and heathland biomes. The parking lot is small to medium in size, but there were a number of open spots so it wasn't a problem on my visit. Next to the parking lot is a restroom building that was closed today, I'm guessing due to COVID-19, a grassy picnic area, a map of the trail system, and some signage with information about the sanctuary. There are two main trails through the sanctuary: the Interpretive Trail which includes interpretive signs, and the Perimeter Trail which goes around the perimeter of the sanctuary. I hiked/walked the southern portion of both of these trails and found them both to be very well maintained. Garbage cans were located along the trail, which was convenient. Elevation gain was not immense, but it was also not completely flat. I encountered a number of soloists and groups out walking/adventuring while I was here this afternoon. By the time I left at about 3 p.m. traffic started picking up. Overall a fun experience and place to explore.

I've been working in Everett for 20ish years and had no idea this place existed. It's not located…read moreanywhere near downtown, but I was very surprised to have never heard of it. A friend recently found it on the all trails app when were seeking out a place for an easyish hike/walk. I was amazed to find this located so close to Boeing, but should probably have realized there is a lot of nature in this area. There is a small parking lot, a big sign marking the entrance and maps/informational plaques to help guide you a long. The inner loop is mostly boardwalk and goes thru a cool rock type structure. Benches were placed intermittently. The outer loop is slightly harder to locate and navigate and does incorporate part of the sidewalk. The combination of both loops is less than 2 miles and takes about 35 minutes. This seems like a great location for a break in nature during your work day. I hope to make it back here again in the future.

From the very first day of working with him to plan and organize our trip of a lifetime, we felt we were in great hands. Phil's fantastic first-hand knowledge of the camps allowed him to create a trip that far surpassed the typical group package deals. Phil meticulously plans every detail of the trip, from the best places to stay to recover from jet lag before the safari, to every transfer. You are never left wondering where to go or if someone will be there to meet you. The camps he chooses are small and personal, where you are taken care of and treated like family. The safari experience is second to none, with personal drivers and guides who are excellent, highly skilled, and knowledgeable. If you want a safari experience to remember, I can't recommend Phil and On Safari-In enough!

We didn't know anything about going on safari, and Phil build a custom trip that catered to exactly our personal travel style of going to some of the more off-the-beaten-path places with fewer tourists, but still lots of amazing experiences (we watched a family of elephants chase off a pair of male lions!). Everyone we met was on their 4th or 10th safari and when they found out we'd never been before, they'd always ask, "So how did you even find this place?" Also I had no idea you could have a vacation with this much adventure and yet zero stress. Having Phil take care of everything and getting it all arranged for and paid in advance took a HUGE load off of us, which was so great as we both have jobs where we typically do a lot of planning and project management. By taking care of that, Phil let us go on an exciting vacation where we actually got to RELAX. We took literally THOUSANDS of amazing photos, but here are just a couple fun ones I shot with my phone.
