Museum Manners

When visiting, please use your best museum manners:

Stay with your adult.
For your safety, please walk, don't run.
Just like the planes you will see on display, the sound of your voice can travel far so please use your inside voice during your visit.
To keep our museum objects clean and safe, please do not bring food or drink into the galleries, touch the artifacts or go past any of the rails or stanchions.

Connections Member Events

Connections members are welcome to attend any events promoted in our newsletters and other general Museum events. Connections members are not eligible to attend events for our paid members, which include: Coffee with the Curator, STEM Starters and special Member previews.

Connections member events are currently on hold due to a staffing shortage. We hope to bring these events back soon.

If you are interested in attending any of these events, we encourage you to consider supporting the Museum through a paid membership. We hope you'll join us!
