Located on the museum’s main floor, this interactive exhibit explores the exciting world of aviation and travel. Children and families are invited to soar to new heights, learn about airplane components, and experience the Cultural Corner, where the destination changes annually.
During the exhibit’s first year, guests traveled to Bogotá, Colombia. Our next destination is Surat, India! Check in at a pretend hotel desk, stroll through a vibrant Indian food market, and immerse yourself in the rich culture, colors, and traditions of India.
Fasten your seatbelts and prepare for takeoff—your adventure around the world starts right here!
