 The museum offers two special Home School Days every year -- once in the spring and once in the fall. Programming changes each year, with the fall program being a repeat of the previous spring program.
The next Home School Day is Oct. 3, 2011. We will be commemorating a number of important space-related anniversaries for the year 2011 (85 years since the launch of the first liquid-fueled rocket, 50 years since the first human was launched into space, 40 years since the Apollo 15 mission, and 30 years since the first space shuttle launch) by having all programs and classes based on a space theme!
Registration for the fall program will open at 9 a.m. on Sept. 1 and close at 5 p.m. on Sept. 16.

Please note that the museum is a very large place. It is your responsibility to have enough adults with you to ensure that your children will be able to get to their individual class areas on time, as well as be picked up at the end of class. Also, some classes require that an adult attend with the student. These classes are indicated on the Program Description pages.
If you wish to pack your lunch, a picnic area is available outside the museum. Food, snacks and drinks (including water) may not be brought into the building. A cafe is available on the second floor if you prefer to purchase your food here. Be advised that the outside picnic area is a considerable walking distance away from the activities. Be sure to adjust your timing accordingly.
To add to your museum experience, you may also wish to watch an IMAX movie or ride the Morphis flight simulator. The Air Force Museum Foundation usually offers these activities at a reduced rate on Home School Day.
If you wish to visit the Presidential Gallery, please read the visiting instructions.
