Best experience at a museum. We brought our 3 year old and he had the absolute best time. The volunteers are so kind, make you feel so welcome and really help educate you about aviation. The simulators are great, for a smaller museum they have so much to see and explore. We can’t wait to keep visiting, it was the best experience we’ve had at any museum. The volunteers really made our experience special, we can’t say enough about them! 10/10 recommend!

Great place for flight enthusiasts. My son takes lessons on the Redbird simulator. Prices are great for rent. Monthly breakfast flyins are amazing experience for kids and adults to experience all kinds of aircraft.
