Kids 48″ and up can earn their wings on a 2D or 3D MaxFlight simulator ride at this interactive museum, situated one-hour east of Gulf Shores on the grounds of Naval Air Station, Pensacola, the training ground for the Blue Angels Flight Demonstration Squadron. Younger children will have fun exploring the “USS Kiddie Hawk.” The interactive play area is modeled to resemble the deck of an aircraft carrier and comes complete with slides, rope ladders, a fireman’s pole, and an intercom system. Museum admission is free. Budget extra for simulator rides and IMAX movie screenings.
