Education Packages:
The Yankee Air Museum provides unique historical and educational experiences through aviation, military, and home-front history, such as the local history focused on the Willow Run B-24 Bomber Plant. Explore the many exhibits within the museum, as well as a vast static aircraft collection ranging from World War I to the Vietnam era. We gear all of our experiences towards STEM programing to provide an overall educational experience that is fun for the entire family!
The Yankee Air Museum offers several options when booking a group or school tour at the Museum:

You can try simulated cliff jumping on one of our Xboxes where students learn about flight dynamics or try to land a Mars Rover on a mission to Mars. You can also see how high a stomp-bottle rocket can fly.
