Tips for Successful Visit
Here are some tips for making your visit to the National Museum of the U.S. Air Force on Home School STEM Day a very successful experience:
- Arrive early, especially if you are registered to attend one of the four hands-on classes in the 4^th building. You will need to report to the classroom area at least 15 minutes prior to the start of your class.
- No pre-registration is required for any of the other activities.
- Bring extra adults to assist getting your children to multiple locations (the museum is a very large place!).
- Familiarize yourself with the museum ahead of time by visiting our website. For a really special treat, take a virtual tour of the museum -- you can even look into some of the cockpits!
- In addition to the specially-scheduled Home School STEM Day activities (classes, scavenger hunts, Presidential Aircraft Briefings, and science demo stations), attendees may want to:
- Food options: http://www.afmuseum.com/dining. Please note that food and drinks (including water bottles) cannot be brought into the museum galleries.
- The museum has a limited number of wheelchairs and strollers available for your use in the building at no charge. These are located in the lobby just past the Membership desk and at other volunteer stations throughout the Museum.
- The museum has family restrooms available: one in Kettering Hall, one in the Cold War Gallery, and two in the 4^th building.
