"From interactive museums and hands-on experiences to plane spotting and flight simulators, these aviation activities for kids near NYC are perfect for curious souls who love that industry. Plan by weather. Outdoor plane watching is best in calm weather. To make things better for kids, bring chairs, snacks, and binoculars. They can even download airplane tracking apps to follow them along!"
"Combine with nearby museums: Pair your Cradle of Aviation visit, for example, with a stop at Republic Airport for a full flight-themed day. Check event calendars. Aviation museums often have family days, flight demonstrations, and STEM workshops throughout the year. TSA agents and pilots usually gift kids (or grown-ups who are aviation lovers!) toy airline wings, sticker badges, or aircraft trading cards. It's free, fun, and a nice way to interact with aviation personnel, especially if your child wants to be part of that world."
