Under the soaring rotunda of Balboa Park’s Ford Building, the San Diego Air & Space Museum takes families on a journey from the Wright brothers’ first flights to the Apollo lunar missions — with real aircraft hanging overhead and cockpits kids can climb into.
Flight simulators, a special kids’ interactive zone and rotating special exhibitions keep young aviators busy, while family programs and camps across the year turn aviation history into hands-on adventure.
Paired with a spin through Balboa Park’s gardens and museums, it makes for a high-flying family day in the heart of San Diego.
