Niagara Aerospace Museum in Niagara Falls, NY is the perfect place for flight enthusiasts who enjoy learning about the history of aviation, especially the aviation history of the western part of New York. This New York area is rich in aviation innovations so you will see many things represented from the earliest planes to the current NASA related topics.
The theater with surround sound can seat almost 150 people and the movies shown in the theater bring the history of aviation alive, particularly in the World Wars. You can also try your hand in the flight simulator so you feel as if you are really the pilot of various aircraft. It's quite a rush imagining yourself as the pilot in charge of a few tons of steel!
There is an area just for kids called Kid Zone which allows them to unleash their curiosity in a variety of tactile activities. Many games and toys relating to the space industry and aviation are available for perusal as are books and videos. The Kid Zone is so engaging that Scout troops visit to earn merit badges!
On the premises is a great gift shop where you can not only buy the requisite t-shirts, pens and postcards as souvenirs but also some really cool toys and games relating to aviation. You can find airplane models, books, vintage games and toys and so much more. When you are in Niagara Falls, call ahead to the Niagara Aerospace Museum to determine their hours as they sometimes not open. However, if they are, it is well worth the trip to the museum.
