 Fantasy of Flight is an aviation-themed attraction that takes visitors back to Early Flight, World Wars I & II, and beyond. Fantasy of Flight features the world’s greatest private collection of classic aircraft with fighter planes, airplane restoration and aircraft history.

There's much to learn about those magnificent men and their flying machines and the history of flight, amongst the worlds largest privately owned collection of vintage planes. The World War II display is especially good and includes a rare example of a Mark XVI Spitfire and one of the last operational flying boats. Guests in need of a bit of combat can climb into flight simulators and after a preflight 'briefing' go head to head with the Japanese airforce over the pacific! After admiring the 30 or so vintage aircraft on display you might want to try a tethered hot air balloon ride which affords visitors a birds-eye view of their surroundings. You can't visit this place and not leave terra firma!
