Boeing Factory Tour

Some of us are fascinated by big machines, big factories, complicated manufacturing lines, etc. We wanted to see this huge factory of air-planes. Others are aviation aficionados, they want to experience Boeing. The rest wouldn’t mind just doing a standard tourist spot. These make Boeing factory tour a destination. After 6 years, I finally found an excuse to go. It is definitely worth going once.

The tour takes about 90 minutes. It is best to book it online: cheaper and more reliable in getting a slot. Arrive at least 15 minutes early. The tour does not allow any bags, cell phones, or cameras. Leave bags in the car and use the free locker for your phones or cameras, since you may use them before or after the tour.

I found the tour at 10am or so perfect. Afterward, we drove to Mukilteo for lunch and came back to the city leisurely. It can also be a perfect stop-over for a longer trip to Whidbey Island. Obviously that plan require a stay-over somewhere.

It could be better to do this on weekdays. The company does not have a huge backorder on their 747 line these days. There was hardly any activities on the floor on that Saturday for me.
