We went on a Sunday and had the best experience! Both of my daughters said it was “epic” and “awesome”. There must have only been two other families there while we were there so we felt very safe with social distancing and they have sanitizer everywhere too. The staff treated us like royalty; they took their time walking the kids through the simulations (my girls got to do all the age-appropriate ones available) and other staff gave us detailed information about the planes on display. They also gave us some wonderful information on helping guide our daughter towards aviation programs, since she is very interested in that. This museum made us all so happy and was two wonderful hours well-spent.

I popped in here on a lark with my two young ones with the goal of burning 30-60 minutes before they crashed down for a nap, we ended up staying 2.5 hours and the kids weren't ready to leave yet. This isn't a big museum, but it doesn't need to be, the volunteers and staff made me and my kids feel very welcome, and encouraged them to play and explore the coloring, crafts, and everything they had to offer. They have many great programs they do as well, when we were there, some local youths were practicing with their drones in the drone cage, which was great to...
