Where History Takes Flight and Holiday Magic Lands
Bring the whole family for this one-of-a-kind celebration that soars into the season!
This December 6, the past takes flight and the holidays land with a smile at Junior Aviator’s Day – Holiday Edition.
Gather the family for a day of historic aircraft, festive activities, and a magical moment as Santa Claus touches down at the Museum. It’s a chance for kids to meet Santa, see an historic aircraft take flight, explore the skies with a ride in a vintage plane, hands-on discovery and more! Reserve a time slot to get your picture taken with Santa! SEE THE TICKET LINK BELOW.
Join us Saturday, December 6th with activities designed for all ages – from toddlers to teens to lifelong learners and make memories that will last a lifetime.
Doors to the Museum will open at 9:00am. Regular admission prices in effect except that all kids (11 and under) are FREE on Junior Aviator’s DAY! Members are also always free.
Santa Claus is Coming to Planes of Fame
We’ve arranged for Jolly St. Nick to fly into the Museum on Saturday morning. He’s giving the reindeer the day off (they have to rest up for the big night) so he’s coming to Planes of Fame in a vintage 1940 Boeing-Stearman biplane!
Santa’s expected time of arrival is 10:30am and he promises to fly over the Museum for several passes (great photo op!) before landing. Then he’ll move into the Museum in a historic World War II Jeep and settle down in our Pond Hangar to meet with the kids and take photos.
Reserve Your Photo Time With Santa!
Santa can only be at the Museum for a few hours so we’ve arranged to purchase a time slot to get your picture taken with him.
Planes of Fame Museum Members get first shot at reserving a time until Saturday, November 22, 2025. Simply click on the link and enter your membership number to activate the reservation form.
Beginning November 23rd, everyone is invited to reserve the photo slots.
Moms, Dads, Grandmas and Grandpas, kids and more are invited to take a photo with Santa for just $25. After our professional photographer takes your photo, you’ll receive a link to download the results for printing and sharing.
