Please note that the museum is a very large place. It is your responsibility to have enough adults with you to ensure that your children will be able to get to their individual class areas on time, as well as be picked up at the end of class. Also, some classes require that an adult attend with the student. These classes are indicated on the Program Description pages. 

If you wish to pack your lunch, a picnic area is available outside the museum. Food, snacks and drinks (including water) may not be brought into the building. A cafe is available on the second floor if you prefer to purchase your food here. Be advised that the outside picnic area is a considerable walking distance away from the activities. Be sure to adjust your timing accordingly. 

To add to your museum experience, you may also wish to watch a movie at the digital 3D theatre or ride the Morphis MovieRide or interactive flight simulators. The Air Force Museum Foundation usually offers these activities at a reduced rate on Home School Day.
