Description

American Airlines sponsors this free museum, which examines the history of commercial airlines and explores their inner workings. Visitors have ample opportunities to check out seminal principals of flight first hand; they may experience a wind tunnel, see how a jet engine works, try out the pilot's seat in the cockpit or enter the Flight Lab to learn more about air pressure at high altitudes. The IWERKS large-screen theater shows movies about airline history while the patrons sit in authentic first-class seats. There is also a gift shop. Admission is $4 for adults, $2 for senior citizens and children under 12, and free for toddlers below the age of 2.
