The Heritage Centre & Aerospace Museum at Hindustan Aeronautics Limited(HAL), Bangalore or HAL museum is a one of a kind museum with spectacular display of airplanes, helicopters along with scale model of planes and airplane motors which makes it a must visit place in Bangalore.
There is a display of scale models and photo exhibition arranged chronologically showing HAL's history. The whole area is maintained very well covered with beautiful green trees and colourful flowers. No wonder HAL always participates in Lalbaug garden horticulture show every year and is top contender.
On the first floor there is a small outlet where you can buy scale models of airplanes and other such toys. I remember buying a scale model of Boeing 747. The scale models are a bit expensive though and taking kids to the outlet could lead to bankruptcy! There is also a flight simulator at nominal price but that is a bit kiddish. More of computer simulation used to play with joystick, can be fun enough for kids. Good place to spend 2-3 hours if your are an enthusiast as taking look at all the aircrafts first hand is very exciting and also the photo exhibition is wonderfully arranged chronologically showing HAL's progress.
Here is a glimpse of the place:
