Flight Simulators

Experience Flight Without Leaving the Ground!

Premium Simulator Experiences:

Experience the 2-person X-Pilot pods

360 degrees of flying action! In our two-seat X-Pilot simulators, you take the controls for a smooth and easy ride, or a ride full of loops and rolls. You choose—you're the pilot. You can choose between three classic WWII fighters and engage in aerial dogfight battles or choose one of three modern jets and race through the air. You’ll learn why we call this the most interactive flight simulator in the Pacific Northwest. X-Pilot is $8 for the General Public and $7 for Members. And for those who can’t get enough, you can ride again and again for only $5 per ride after your first ride of the day.

The 13-Seat 4D-X ride

In the 13-seat 4D-X simulator, participants experience visual excitement and plenty of motion. Each ride is approximately five minutes in duration.

This ride offers a rotating selection of flight experiences:

• The Blue Angels Experience: Presented in High Definition

We are excited to present this new HD Ride in our 4D-X motion base simulator.  Strap yourself into the cockpit of a Blue Angels F-18 Hornet and experience the speed and thrills of a Blue Angels Air Show.  For this exclusive ride film, a special camera was placed on the flight helmet of a Blue Angels pilot as they performed at two air shows.  You will see what the pilot sees; get as close to the other planes as the pilot does; feel the shakes as the pilot banks in sharp, high-speed turns.  This ride is the closest to a real blue Angels ride most of us will ever get!

Other Simulators:

• Try your hand on our hang gliders in the Flight Zone, a favorite with kids where you sit in a hang gliding harness and try to land as close as you can to a target.
• In our Space Gallery you'll have an opportunity to pilot an Apollo lunar lander or bring the Space Shuttle home after a mission orbiting the Earth.
• In the Personal Courage Wing's WWI gallery, try flying a WWI bi-plane.
• Lastly, match skills with an astronaut as you try to link up with the Hubble Space Telescope in our Manned Manuevering Unit simulators in the Rendezvous in Space: A Tribute to Pete Conrad exhibit.
