I have visited this museum twice now and can’t wait to go again.
It’s called the Museum of Aeronautical Sciences. The facilities were so cute and so interesting for kids AND grown ups!
The attention to detail is what makes up the cutest parts of this museum, actually. Like the airport style entrance or the lunches set up like airplane food in the cafeteria ( which is also hilarious to me because … does anyone actually WANT to eat plane food when they are not on a plane?)
My favourite part , hands down , was the flight simulator. It was really fun and funny!!!
I managed to not take my passengers swimming either ! Beef or chicken, everyone?
And this plane is inside the museum. It is a model of the cockpit and cabin of a 747.
It was actually made for shooting a Japanese film called “Happy Flight! and “passengers” can see what it is like to sit in Economy, Business Class and First Class. My kids also loved visiting the mock plane kitchen/food prep area.
