| Virginia Air and Space Center |
| The birthplace of America’s space program, the Virginia Air & Space Center features dozens of hands-on air and space exhibits, a premiere interactive aviation gallery that spans 100 years of flight, more than 30 historic aircraft, unique space flight artifacts and more! Your imagination will soar as you launch a rocket, pilot a space shuttle, become an air traffic controller, fly an airplane, and climb aboard a WWII bomber! Come face to face with the Apollo 12 Command Module that went to the moon, a Mars meteorite, a DC-9 passenger jet, a replica 1903 Wright Flyer and more! There is always something new landing at the Virginia Air & Space Center! Experience a 3D IMAX film in the giant-screen Riverside IMAX Theater...you have to see it to believe it! |

 | | Jerry Z, Co-op Member | | The children didn't stop. There are so many interactive educational exhibits they were very busy bees. The center provides a considerable volume of information and it can all be absorbed in one day. |
|
 | | Wendy, Co-op Member | | I took my son here last summer and while the exhibits were kind of cool, many of them weren't appropriate for little kids (my son was 5 at the time) and the manager was less than welcoming of special needs kids. Parking is a nightmare as there is no onsite parking, you have to find a parking garage and walk to the museum. All in all, we wouldn't spend the money to go back, we'll just wait for our next trip to D.C. and go to the large Air and Space museum there. |

| | Tawa Dania, Co-op Member | | Another Great Science field trip. Not much available for Preschoolers and kindergarteners though. |
