Reviews of Pratt & Whitney Hangar Museum
BugalydoshWe had a wonderful time at the P&W Asian Heritage Night Market event!!
Heather ClarkThe P&W hangar museum is open to the public and has several engines on display. Though the total number of things to look at isn't very large, you won't find this kind of selection anywhere else! Each engine has a plaque with a description and a bit of information about the history. They also have a small section of experimental engines and propellers that never made it to production, with an explanation of what they are and why. You can follow Pratt and Whitney history from its foundation as a tooling company and a guy fiddling in his garage, to the present day.
The only thing to be cautious of is sometimes there are events taking place here, and the museum might be closed to the public. The building has heating, but not air conditioning. It's usually warm inside, so if you visit when it's cool outside, make sure you have layers you can remove.
It can be a bit confusing to find the museum because it is on company property, much of which is now closed off by gates and accessible only with a company badge. To get to the museum from the Silver Lane entrance (which I recommend), keep to the right. It'll look like you're going to a badge controlled lift gate, but the right-most lane diverges just in time, and will take you right to the museum parking lot.

Theresa FairCool stuff. Exhibits in cases need a good dusting. I think they need to hire someone to take care of place An archivist or preservationist. Otherwise great place for events.
Matt SYou've got to be a hardcore aircraft engine geek to get anything out of the displays. The exhibits are not engaging, poorly labeled, haphazardly organized and not interactive.
Looks more like a bankrupt museum than one representing the history of a company as prominent as Pratt & Whitney or United Technologies. This should be a museum that makes their employees, families and friends proud.
As an airline mechanic my favorite exhibit was the JT8 cutaway. I spent a good amount of time working those motors.
Will KoehrsenA small Pratt and Whitney museum located at the companies main campus in East Hartford. Pratt and Whitney make some quality engines, and this is a nice place to appreciate the history of the company. I would recommend visiting if you're an employee or an aircraft/mechanical aficionado.
Edgardo GonzalezGreat place to visit.
Michael JannineThis place is permanently closed!
Do make the mistake of trying to visit.
