Amsterdam Day 382: Aviodrome

We found this cool museum at a small airport about 45 minutes away. Think the Hill Aerospace Museum in Roy, UT or the National Aviation Museum in Pensacola, FL but with an amazing aviation playground. In fact it took us an hour before we actually saw anything in the museum because the kids went straight to the playground. I wish I had taken a picture, but there was this big ballon type of thing, probably 20 feet wide, that Charlie jumped on for about 45 minutes. He was just as happy as could be. 

The kids loved that they were able to sit in the cockpit of the planes. You might not be able to see the big grin on Cameron's face, but it is there. 

Charlie had to be told many times by the museum staff, who were dressed as pilots, in Dutch and English, to stop touching the buttons. But he just could not stop himself. He'd look at me and then look at the buttons. Then his hand would go for it. And would then says, "CHARLIE" and he would pull his hand back. And then a second later look at me and then move his hand forward. That little stinker. 

Most importantly, Delta Air Lines was represented. Although it was by this small wooden plane in the shadows of a large actual plane that was in the shadows of a huge KLM 747.  Speaking of the large KLM 747, they let us go up into it and explore all around it.

The museum was just set up so cool and targeted to entertain the children (and me) so well.
