The Air and Space Museum Reopens!

With the temperatures rising this week, I found myself looking for more indoor options for us to explore. Hampton's Air and Space Museum has reopened with safety precautions and full air conditioning.

Masks and social distancing are required for all visitors. There are abundant sanitation stations. Volunteer docents are not available to answer questions and the cafe has a limited menu. The flight max simulator is closed. The Imax theater is open, but groups have to sit at least three seats apart in every other row. Staff was cleaning throughout our trip.

Since our last trip, they have combined some of the upstairs children's exhibit with the play area downstairs. Upstairs they are preparing for a new area opening in the fall called the Space Explorer Gallery. There is lots of work going on, and it looks like this exhibit will take up a fourth of the second floor, so I'm excited to come back this fall to check it out once it opens.
