Flight Factory Festival

From the time that people first observed birds and flying insects, human flight has been the subject of our dreams and schemes. The sky was finally opened to humans through science and technology. During Flight Factory Festival families build kites, gliders, helicopters, airplanes, and rockets as they play and learn about how things fly.

Family Science Night

Science is fun and the Family Museum can come to your school with more than ten science stations where families can play and learn while they have a great time doing fascinating science experiments.

Box City

Fill a room in your school with Box City at no cost to you. You need boxes for students to transform and transportation from the Family Museum to your school for the carpet squares that are the land use framework for your Box City. The Family Museum has the curriculum already available to create a memorable family event at your school.
