The New England Air Museum, Open Labor Day

September 2 @ 9:00 am - 3:30 pm EDT

Get ready to soar into an unforgettable Labor Day at the New England Air Museum! We’re thrilled to invite you and your family to experience a day packed with hands-on aviation excitement and educational fun. From getting a close-up look at our new F-15C to testing your piloting skills in our cutting-edge simulators, there’s something to ignite the imagination of every family member.

Our new F-15C was just brought into our Military Hangar this week! Be one of the first people to check it out up close all weekend long at the museum.

What’s Happening This Labor Day:
• Open Cockpits: Ever wondered what it’s like to sit where pilots do? Now’s your chance! Climb into the cockpits of some of our most iconic aircraft.
• Flight Simulators: Ready for takeoff? Challenge yourself to fly like a pro in our state-of-the-art simulators. Feel the rush of aviation as you navigate the skies without ever leaving the ground.
• Back-to-School Scavenger Hunt: Calling all kids! Embark on a thrilling scavenger hunt through the museum and earn cool back-to-school goodie bags packed with fun supplies. It’s the perfect way to kick off the school year!
• Cornhole Games: Enjoy some friendly competition with our cornhole games. Whether outside or inside (weather permitting), it’s the perfect activity to round out a day of adventure.

Aircraft are subject to change, restrictions may apply. Library passes are not valid on open cockpit days.
