Boeing factory tour

The Boeing Everett factory tour

The only public tour of a commercial jet assembly plant in North America starts at Boeing Future of Flight, on the north side of Paine Field.

What it is

Future of Flight is Boeing's visitor center in Mukilteo. General admission covers the exhibit gallery and the rooftop deck overlooking the airfield. The Everett Factory Tour adds a guided bus trip into the factory, where you can see widebody jets being assembled from above the factory floor.

Tickets

  • Buy on the official Future of Flight site. Tour times sell out, especially in summer, so book ahead.
  • The factory tour ticket includes general admission. Recent published prices have been in the $40s for adults, with general admission alone much less. Check current prices when you book.
  • Groups of 15 or more book through Future of Flight's customer service.
Kids: tour guests must be at least 4 feet (48 inches) tall. Younger kids can still enjoy the gallery and the deck with general admission.

Before you go

  • Expect security rules inside the factory, including limits on what you can bring. Read the FAQ on the official site before your visit.
  • Plan about two to three hours for the tour plus the gallery.
  • Pair it with lunch in Mukilteo and a walk at Lighthouse Park. See things to do nearby.
