Cradle of Aviation

Explore the four-story glass atrium and gaze upon a diverse sampling of aircraft. Each of the eight galleries delivers another "wow experience" as students travel through time seeing 70 air and space craft from hot air balloons, to an actual lunar module in two converted Mitchel Field hangers that have been designated American Treasures. Enjoy the Sony Imax experience The "Magic of Flight".  Fly at twice the speed of sound with the Blue Angels as they defy gravity with their breathtaking maneuvers. You'll also go back in time to 1903 when the Wright brothers first took flight. Narrated by Tom Selleck, The Magic of Flight explores the wonders of flying and man's desire to be amongst the clouds. Take a "Mission to Mars" - Through the world's best action simulator, you'll climb aboard a spaceship for a thrilling rescue of a settlement planet on Mars. Boxed lunch available.
