Cradle of Aviation Museum: The Plane Crazy Scavenger Hunt
You don’t have to love planes to find this hunt fun and fascinating. The flight plan here is to zero in on the most surprising and funny facts and objects in the amazing collection of the Cradle of Aviation Museum. You’ll encounter plenty of real planes, of course, from the dawn of flight to an acutal lunar landing module. But you’ll also discover a World War I garage, the 1920s Hempstead Plains, astronaut food, quirky pioneers of flight, cranky neighbors, and much more. But you don’t need to know anything about aviation to have fun and triumph on this hunt. You’ll peer into cockpits and dodge propellers while searching for the answers to such questions as...
• Which “president” flew the bouncing bovine below a dragon kite? Answer: Lincoln Beachey flew an airship called the Rubber Cow, as seen in a photo.
• What did a naval officer change after hearing complaints about early flying hours from a resident of Lloyd’s Neck? Answer: He moved the training flight time from 5 a.m. to 4 a.m.
• The museum stands at the airfield where Lindbergh took off for his historic solo flight across the Atlantic. How many bounces it take him fly? Answer: His plane bounced four times before getting airborne, as seen in a video.
We have adult and family versions of this hunt, both of which last for 90 minutes. Add Team Photo Questions for extra fun and souvenirs you can take home with you.
Make it a mystery! We can customize this hunt to include an interactive murder mystery plot.
