AirVenture Accommodations & Travel Guide

Welcome to the ultimate guide for your EAA AirVenture Oshkosh experience! We know that securing the perfect place to stay and planning your travel is key to enjoying the World's Greatest Aviation Celebration.


Lodging Options

From traditional hotels to unique camping experiences, Oshkosh and the Fox Cities area offer a variety of options. Book early, as lodging fills up fast for the event!
  • Campus Dormitories: Stay on a college campus close to the action! These offer basic, budget-friendly rooms and often include shuttle service. Example: University of Wisconsin Oshkosh (UWO) Housing.
  • Local Hotels & Motels: A wide range of national chains and independent hotels are available in Oshkosh, Appleton, and Fond du Lac. Look for the "AirVenture Partner" badge for hotels offering special rates or shuttle routes.
  • Private Home Rentals: Find unique homes, apartments, and rooms offered by local residents on popular short-term rental platforms.
  • The Ultimate Immersion: Camp Scholler: Experience AirVenture right on the grounds! Camp Scholler offers tent and RV camping with easy access to the main flight line and exhibits. Daily fees apply.

Getting Around

Parking can be a challenge, so consider alternative transportation to save time and stress. Official
  • EAA Shuttle Service: A comprehensive shuttle system connects major lodging areas (including UWO and many partner hotels) directly to the AirVenture gates. Purchase a weekly pass for the best value.
  • Ridesharing & Taxis: Services are available, but surge pricing and wait times can be significant during peak hours (morning arrival, evening departure).
  • Bike Rentals: A few local vendors offer bike rentals, which can be a great way to navigate the surrounding streets and avoid traffic backups.

Travel & Directions

The event takes place at Wittman Regional Airport (OSH) in Oshkosh, Wisconsin.

Pro Tip: If you're flying commercially, consider flying into Appleton International Airport (ATW), which is just 30 minutes north of the grounds, or General Mitchell International Airport (MKE) in Milwaukee.
