The Future of Flight Aviation Center is an aviation museum and education center located at the northwest corner of Paine Field in Mukilteo, Washington. It is the starting point for the Boeing Tour, a tour of a portion of Boeing's Everett, Washington production facility in which the models 747, 767, 777 and 787 are built. It is also home of the Future of Flight Foundation, a nonprofit organization that owns the museum's collection and engages in worldwide education outreach.

The museum includes a 28,000-square-foot (2,600 m2) gallery containing static and interactive exhibits and displays as well as a 240-seat theater, café and shops.

The Future of Flight Aviation Center & Boeing Tour is the result of a partnership between The Boeing Company, Future of Flight Foundation, Snohomish County Public Facilities District and Snohomish County Airport. The $23-million dollar project debuted in December 2005 with the opening of the museum. The Future of Flight Foundation is a 501-3(c) nonprofit organization. The Foundation operates the Center and owns the Center's collection. The Foundation's mission is "to educate, entertain and engage our global community to inspire innovation."
