Planes haven’t been on your radar since Maverick and Top Gun, but your little captain loves flying the friendly skies. Take her up, up and away at 11 awesome aviation centers perfect for petite pilots. From interactive exhibits to real-life aircrafts, you’re now boarding for the next family adventure.

Evergreen Aviation & Space Museum – McMinnville, Or

Families toting tots will appreciate the pint-sized fun at Evergreen Aviation & Space Museum. Little voyagers will have a blast checking out the largest wooden plane ever (the legendary Spruce Goose), blowing off steam at the space playground and taking a spin on the biplane carousel. If that’s not enough, head over to Wings & Waves, the indoor water park adjacent to the museum. Check out our insider’s guide by clicking here.

Good to know: There's no food allowed inside the museum, but Oak Grove (located on the museum grounds) is the perfect place for a picnic.
