The museum features numerous real aircraft and helicopters on display both indoors and outdoors, reflecting Kakamigahara's unique history as an aircraft manufacturing hub. Looking up at the actual planes from close range is an unforgettable experience for children who love vehicles. The space area showcases rockets, space probes, and exhibitions about life in space, allowing visitors' imaginations to expand from aircraft to the cosmos. Interactive exhibits let you experience the sensation of piloting, making it a fulfilling destination where families can enjoy themselves for half a day.
