Full Description
The Boeing Factory in Everett
The Boeing Everett Factory is the largest building in the world by volume, and a guided Boeing factory tour is a rare chance to see wide-body aircraft being assembled under one roof. You walk through the factory with a Boeing guide, who explains how the planes are built, from the wings and fuselage to the final assembly line.
People searching for Boeing factory tickets often ask what they will see: the scale of the hall, aircraft in different stages of construction and the overhead cranes. Bags, cameras and phones are not allowed inside, and children must be at least 122 cm tall, so plan accordingly. Follow your Boeing guide's safety instructions at all times inside the building.
The Future of Flight Aviation Center
The Future of Flight Aviation Center is at Paine Field, next to the factory, and it shows how aircraft design has changed and where aviation may go next. Displays, models and interactive exhibits explain how planes fly and are made, and there are views toward the airfield.
It is the part of the Boeing tour from Seattle where you can take photos and spend a little free time, and the shop there sells aircraft-themed gifts. Lockers are normally available for the items you cannot take into the factory. Allow time to look around before the bus leaves.
Travelling from Seattle to Everett
The bus leaves from a central city-centre pick-up point and drives north along the Interstate corridor toward Everett, so you do not need a car or parking. Your guide gives commentary on the way, covering Seattle's history with Boeing and the region's aircraft industry.
If you are wondering how to get to the Boeing Factory from Seattle without driving, this is the simplest option: transport, a guide and the factory entry are arranged for you in one half-day trip. The ride is a good moment to ask questions about aircraft and the local area, and you can relax without worrying about traffic or parking.
Planning your Boeing factory visit
Allow the full 4.5 hours, and arrive at the meeting point a little early, because the bus leaves on time. The factory tour involves a fair amount of walking and some stairs or lifts, so wear comfortable shoes.
The factory is a working industrial site, so access can change at short notice for safety or production reasons, and some days or holidays may not have tours. The booking panel shows the dates that are open. Leave bags at your hotel where possible, and make sure every child meets the height requirement before you book.
