The Air and Power Museum is a roadside museum in Hampton, VA and offers a glimpse of Hampton's role in America's early space exploration and aircraft testing.

It is approximately 3km from I-64 exit 263B, on Mercury Blvd. on the right. The museum is difficult to miss; several vintage aircraft and experimental space launch vehicles from the 1950's and 1960's are visible from Mercury Blvd. The park is on a 15 acre plot and includes a children's playground and visitor's center operated by the City Department of Parks and Recreation.

Parking is available roadside and admission is free. The visitor's center is open 7 days a week from 9:00am to 4:30pm except Thanksgiving, Independence Day, Christmas Day and New Years Day. The outdoor park is open from sunrise to sunset all year long.
