Ground attractions also include interactive exhibits, kid-friendly activities, drones and unique display aircraft. Fans can tour aircraft, help pack a parachute or get a picture with a pilot.

U.S. Air Force Thunderbirds The legendary U.S. Air Force Thunderbirds return to Cleveland for an aerial showcase that blows away audiences year after year, and we’re not just talking about the sonic booms. Each show day, the demonstration pilots will put jet fighters through a choreographed performance at high speeds. Now that’s what we call “high” art. (See what we did there?) Flying Fun for All Enjoy even more aircraft demonstrations, along with a variety of aviation-related exhibits from planes and helicopters that allow you to jump inside the cockpit, to an assortment of drones and model aircraft. Meet some of the pilots and performers, indulge in delicious food or browse a wide selection of souvenirs, toys and other gifts. Boredom doesn’t have a chance in this dogfight. --> Looking for somewhere to stay after a long day of aviation adventures? Check out these hotels, no more than a half-mile from North Coast Harbor.
