I want to take this blog to say: Good Job Fantasy of Flight! Before we arrived this morning I had no idea how fun and interactive Fantasy of Flight was going to be. When we walked into the building I immediately felt like I was going back in time…like I was on the set of Back to the Future mixed with Fly Boys. Right at the entrance there was a classic 50′s dinner and people walking around in classic flight outfits (it was more cool than it was cheesy…this coming from a person who thinks Amelia Earhart is very interesting).
First thing guests do is walk through a really well themed exhibit where you get a chance to learn about the early stages of flight as well as walk through planes that flew in WWII. This exhibit made all my senses pop. From the smell of classic planes to the sounds of fighter jets…we all couldn’t help but become consumed by the experience.
At the end of the exhibit we ended up in a huge airplane hangar where we could see classic planes that can still fly. Some of the planes have even flown in movies! On the side of the hanger was an interactive game room where we played with air balloon and hang glider simulators (which was sweet…i mean who doesn’t like simulators?).
Overall Fantasy of Flight surprised me. It was a unique and educational experience (in a good way). This really is a place for people of all ages.
p.s. today was raining but on sunny days you can watch classic planes take to the sky!

Next time, we’ll get you on one of Fantasy of Flight’s ultimate flying adventures — a ride in the Stearman PT-17 open cockpit biplane. There’s no better view of Central Florida and of our sparkling lakes and beautiful landscapes than one from the sky. In the meantime, enjoy the rest of your 67 days!
