The “Take Flight! the science of aviation” exhibit immerses kids in the four forces of flight. Featuring state-of-the-art flight simulators built into kid-sized planes, a 2-story slide, Amazing Airways, Bernoulli’s Wind tables, a real Cessna 150 and lots more, Take Flight entices the entire family into an unforgettable aviation learning experience.
PLEASE NOTE: Portions of this exhibit will be closed through Spring 2023 as we make exciting updates and renovations to this space.
This exhibit makes science, technology, engineering, and mathematics more fun than you can imagine!
