A big hangar beside Love Field with more than 30 real aircraft and an Apollo 7 command module inside, cockpits you can climb into, and a kids' flight-themed play area, with Southwest Airlines planes taking off and landing right outside the windows.

💡 Tips

Admission is about $12 for adults and $7 for kids, check the website; weekends are uncrowded. A 2-year-old is happy with the kids' area and the planes; take older kids to see the Apollo capsule and Southwest's vintage 737. 15 minutes from NorthPark.
