Resource List

THE MUSEUM'S EDUCATION CENTER

Learn by doing! Kids can experience several different interactive activities just like astronauts in space. There are lots of books to read about aviation and space while cozying up in a bean bag chair.

LIVING IN SPACE

Have you ever wondered what it’s like to live in space? In our Educational Center you can experience several hands-on, interactive exhibits that highlight life in space. Put your strength to the test on an exercise bike while you watch how astronauts stay strong in space. Would you be able to sleep upright? Check out the sleeping quarters in space that are attached to a wall.

FLIGHT SIMULATORS

Have you always wanted to fly a helicopter or a Blue Angel F/A-18 Hornet? Come check out our fixed-based flight simulators where you can become the pilot of numerous aircraft.

CAMP INVENTION

Camp Invention is a camp where kids learn creative problem solving by trial and error rather than by book. There are challenges presented and experiments going on all week long! Camp Invention is hosted each year at the museum. See Events page for more detail in your area.
