The kids seemed fairly impressed with all the planes, etc. I was a little nervous that they were going to be whining about being at museum, but there was a good balance of interactive displays and cool exhibits. The spruce goose was definitely the coolest attraction. That thing is huge! The museum is setup in two different buildings, one for the airplanes and one for the space exhibits. I was pretty impressed that little old McMinnville has such a nice museum. We'll definitely have to head down there again soon. Can't beat free!
Inside the cockpit of the spruce goose.
The spruce goose has the longest wingspan of any plane in existence. Amazing it could fit.
Before heading over to the space building, a tour guide told us there was an exhibit that simulated a rocket launch and it even shook a little. The kids were extremely excited for that one. It was not quite as great as we were expecting though. It was just a control room that counted down from 10 minutes and then had the slightest vibration when the rocket took off on the video screen. Sorry kids, gotta go to Disneyland for something better.
Some plane tire.
We found the best activity at the end, a flight simulator. Luke was a natural.
They had a little airplane ride at the entrance to the space museum.

That looks pretty fun and something my kids would LOVE too. Looks like you have a few extra kiddos - did we miss something ;)
Don't you love how all your pictures now have your kids and their friends? I think it's gonna be fun for my kids to look back and go, "Oh, Eliza (Adia's BFF) went there with us," etc.
