The Ultimate Interactive Flight Exhibition
lives up to its name…

Now having surpassed the 6 million visitors mark, Above and Beyond continues to bring the amazing and thrilling experiences of aerospace and flight to families, enthusiasts and students, here and around the globe.

And now, Above and Beyond is available in its full 6,000 sq. ft format or in a 3,000 sq. ft size—featuring all the best of the exhibition in a more space-efficient (and lower cost) format.

Above and Beyond lets visitors experience flight like never before. They’ll race friends at the speed of sound. Fly like a bird. Soar to orbit for a spectacular 360-degree view of Earth. And then get ready for a fascinating journey to Mars. From roboflyers and supersonic planes to space elevators and mega-rockets, Above and Beyond takes them faster, farther and higher for a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Produced in collaboration with NASA and Smithsonian’s National Air and Space Museum.
