Falcon Field Airport is hosting a Family Day on Saturday, April 12 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Commemorative Air Force Museum, located at 2017 N. Greenfield Road in Mesa.
The event will feature special reduced family pricing. Children 12 and under can participate in an aviation technology challenge sponsored by the Civil Air Patrol. Family members can watch airplanes and helicopters up close, while enjoying frequent take-offs and landings.
The airport features two viewing areas, one located beside the administration building. Follow the kid-sized runway to a large glass, see-through wall, which makes for great plane viewing. There is a grassy area nearby, where the family can enjoy playtime and two kid-sized planes the young ones can climb on and pretend to fly their own airplane.
