“Our students had so much fun at the Education Center. It was a great experience for them! You and your staff do a great job; we can’t thank you enough!” – Traci B., teacher
“Loved our homeschooling field trip at the Pearson Field Education Center the other day. The facilitators were very knowledgeable and the volunteer crew were helpful, funny, and insightful. The kids got to make crafts, climb inside of old planes, and even fly a simulator. Amazing time. Thank you so much.” – Vanessa W., Parent
Located on Pearson Field, one of the oldest operating airports in the United States, students have an opportunity to get up close and personal with aviation during their field trip to Pearson Field Education Center.
Learn about Aviation, Space, Drones, or Robotics during your trip to PFEC or ATC. Our educators and yours will create activities! Our Field Trips begin with a group lesson that answers the question, “How do airplanes fly?” Afterward, students explore and learn more about the science and history of flight with a tour of our facilities, a chance to fly simulators, play Kerbal, and more!
This two-hour field trip is for groups of 12-48 students and can be scheduled from 10:00 am – 12:00 pm. Space and an additional 30 minutes are available for students to stay for lunch, but note that Airway Science does not provide lunch.
